So why is the United States not experiencing something like the rioting in Turkey or Brazil, or the murder of thousands in Mexico? How are we able to avoid the bloody chaos in Syria, the harsh dictatorships of Russia and China, the implosion of Egypt or the economic hopelessness now endemic in Southern Europe?

America is terrorized into inactivity.

Jackboots practice busting down civilian doors to the applause of bystanders during "practice" sessions explained as possible terrorist scenereos

'Course, they've been doing that for years which explains why no one knew (?) about the Boston bombers ... especially now that we know every jot and tittle of American communication has been listened to, written down and/or archived.

Thinking people really scratch their heads wondering how did we get this way and what can we do.

We're presently in the midst of wording ourselves into a stupor ... the reasonisbecausethe firstelementoftheseconddegreeof .... for paragraphs and paragraphs when, the reason we're dieing is because we've been frightened into doing nothing about our death

We look in the mirror and see; "Yup .. looks like terminal cancer to ME ... guess I'll get a latte' and hit the computer for a while"

Sometimes a patriotic soul will write something that spurs our imaginations and spirits and we think, "Y'know .. someone should DO something about ___________

But nothing happens.

Why?

'Cause we're afraid.

We're afraid it'll cost us a bundle in lawyers fees if we did somrthing that demanded a trial (That we're SURE we'd win .... if we had the money ... which we don't)

We're afraid we'll be the only one that might feel to act as we do (did) and NOW look at you stupid ... a life sentence ... for what?

We're afraid we'll get seriousdly hurt or killed doing whatever it is.

And now comes the hardest part for me .. the writer of this so-called logic ...

So what ?

If I die, I know where I'm going, so what stops me?

I love my life and my wife and my kids and my existence more than I love freedom and liberty and it shames me to say it.

That's it in a nutshell .. I'm afraid to lose what I have for something I'm pretty sure I won't like.

God help me.

It started with giving women the vote. Men tend to value freedom over security while women value them in the opposite order. Eventually our the leaders we elected reflect that. Just as the R’s want to support things that will get more of the illegal alien vote, past (and current) politicians supported things that would give them more of the womans vote. And to be clear, I mean “single” women’s vote.

I am a Christian. I can find nothing in the bible that promotes patriotism. Where would the early church have been if they had put their faith in Rome?

I cringe every time I see an American flag in a church. We are very close to the end days. I’m focusing on things spiritual and my families survival in the days to soon come. I will leave the fight against the liberal nincompoops to those who are more focused on the US than on eternity.

Countries come and go. I’ll lead by example, regardless of what country I find myself in.

In my case, it is my faith in the Lord that prevents me from doing what my flesh wants to do about this. The only action I will take will be defensive. If they leave me alone, I’ll leave them alone.

I’ve gone Galt as much as I possibly can so far.

Honest and profound....But somewhere and some time soon along the line (like the Founders) we’re going to have to risk life, liberty, and fortune.

Well

At least you answered honestly. I think you will know the time when you MUST do something.

Hang on. American isn’t dead.
