Right on. What a lot of simpering crybabies don't understand, is that just having and displaying that attitude is half the battle won. In fact, it might be all it takes to win the entire war against us.
The enemy we face is cowardly in the extreme. Note that they only attack safe targets, and prostrate themselves before anyone who truly means 'business'. They have lots of false bravado, but no real courage.
It's why they want to disarm us. They don't have the guts to mount a campaign of overt subjugation against a people who can fight back.
Well, fighting back begins with looking the other fellow in the eye and telling him you won't be cowed, and that he'd better step back before things get 'real'.
“...is that just having and displaying that attitude is half the battle won...”
Read this - especially the introduction by Lavrenty Beria.

Puts all that is happening right now into perspective. Look at it in the context of over the long run, from then till now..
Check out the VERY FIRST sentence:
“American students at the Lenin University, I welcome your attendance at these classes on Psychopolitics. “
And then remember who Beria was.
They play Long Ball, and are very good at it.
Spot freakin' on, Windy! All this talk about chickening out and running away, like so many Sir Robins, is only emboldening our enemies, foreign and domestic. If we on the Right show some collective backbone, our enemies on the Left just might back down. If they don't, they're going to have a fight on their hands they'll quickly regret.
INVAR, I didn't know you were being sarcastic, so sorry I took you for a surrender monkey. But you're right...if we're going to save our Republic before it gets to the Point of No Return, we've got to quit talking and do something. It needs to start with we veterans, many of whom are unemployed, so we have the time and the passion to get the ball rolling. We need funding though, so that has to happen first.
Biff, the answers to all those questions can be found, but only if we start talking to one another, not on the internet, but at home. Seek out like-minded individuals, especially veterans, and go from there.
Sarge, thanks for the double nod, and the inspiring quotes. We all need to channel our inner Leonidas and inner Travis...yeah, Travis was a flawed man, but who among us isn't in our own way? He was brave, and that is what counts.
Getting back to what you were saying, Windy, the Tea Party of 2009 and '10 is a perfect example of what can be accomplished when we stare our enemies down. The problem is, as conservatives always do, we won a victory, then went back to sleep. We never maintain our momentum. What needs to happen right now, is to mobilize the PO'd millions from '09 and '10, get them back out in the streets, picket signs in hand. Yes, the Obammunist lickspittle media will call us all sorts of vile and inaccurate names...so what? Are we going to let that stop us, or are we going to take our message to the center-right majority in this nation, that have been cowed into silence by Hollyweird and pop culture?
Four years ago, we got those people to lace up their Reeboks and grab their signs, because they saw, right there on the Channel 7 news, people who thought just like them, marching in the streets, and letting Washington know that "we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore". We have to do it again, and this time, not go back to sleep after a huge victory, and not be scared into backing down because media sweethearts like Anderson Cooper and Rachel Madcow call us racists, and not use the IRS scandal as an excuse to do nothing!. So our contributions may not be tax deductible...so freakin what?!?! Are we going to let that stop us from getting active, from getting organized, and rescuing our Republic? If so, we may as well just book our passage to the Philippines, so we can sip Mai Tais on the beach while our nation burns.
Or we can just sit around, grumbling and grousing, waiting for Claire Wolfe's alarm clock to go off. Well, I'd rather use the First Amendment before I have to use the Second, but neither will work if we don't first get our a**es off the couch and away from the keyboard. I'd rather use a pair of comfy shoes and a picket sign than 147-grain .30-06 rounds.
Sorry for ranting, but y'all got me so fired up, I couldn't help myself.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
