Who will stand up to tyranny?

Bureaucrats in a far-off city making laws contrary to the benefit of the people being governed.

Two hundred thirty seven years ago a group of men gathered to say enough was enough. They were tired of working to enrich others, the seemingly arbitrary increases in taxes, the erosion of personal freedoms.

These men did more than just speak out. The took a stand. They risked execution for their treasons. They knew, if unsuccessful, they would be imprisoned, their land and other assets taken by the state. They were vilified in the press - gross caricatures accompanied newspaper articles. They were accused of being disloyal and worse.

They took a stand! They said 'No more'! They risked it all for the concept that men should be free of government interference in their lives.

Life - unless you're an unwanted baby or an elderly person needing expensive treatments.

Liberty - never mind the gathering of your email and phone calls, the dictates on how you interact with your physician, the demonization of anyone who even asks 'Isn't there a better way?'

Pursuit of Happiness - as long as you wear a helmet, read the nutritional facts, are over 21, have the right insurance, don't offend anyone else... and make sure you pay you taxes so the unproductive can pursue happiness also (at the expense of your own).

So, I ask again, who will stand up to tyranny? Is it you? Is it me? Are we ready to risk everything for the good of the nation? Or do we give a weak nod to the men who had the foresight to fight for freedom, throw another hot dog on the grill, and say 'I don't want to make waves'?

Our three branches of government,the people who run it both elected or appointed, those employed by it and those thousands of lobbyists who influence it, ooze almost total green corruption.
They have no true sense of morality because the come from a society who has turned its back on the God and His basic commandments that are absolutely necessary benchmark for a reasonable civilized, stable, peaceful profitable environment for a family, a neighborhood, a town, a city, a state, a country or a planet to have a chance to exist.
We cannot base our moral rules for our society on man's opinion, because man's heart is deceitful, wicked and desperately so. That's yours, mine and theirs.

Gen_6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. That's why they had to try to have His laws incorporated in their government in some unalterable way.

Our founding fathers knew that and so did every other great society of the past at it's beginning. When got sophisticated. complacent,greedy and foolish enough to think they could do it better, history has in extremely painful and disastrous ways time and again proved.

You do not have to be a religious to know we cannot trust the making of our moral laws to other mortal men such as ourselves no matter how good they are we think we are. we have only to be honest and judge by our own daily lives and actions.
If we think we would never lie, cheat, steal, take a bribe or do something to harm a wife, husband, friend, neighbor, our community or country under any circumstance even if its just what we think is just a little wrong, you know just for their own good, then we are either woefully ignorant, conceited or have just for the first time been as the verse above says joined the ranks of the deceitful and or liars by doing so to ourselves.

To those of you who believe the bible is the guidebook for our way of life the last things to happen for the judgment of the Creator to be turned from low to high, is for the government leaders that He says that He installs and the people they govern to turn their back on His laws with the two which represent the final level of depravity,which are the official acceptability by the government and people of the sacrifice of innocent life and the normalization of homosexuality.

After almost seventy years of loving my country the only way I see for any slight chance of resolving the moral and physical collapse of our country, [I think it is too late for the financial], is for those who believe to pray and for the others to meet with them at the polls and together to pull the lever against the two monsters who are really controlling, spying ,feeding us constant lies ,propaganda through their owned media outlets ,and who have been dividing and conquering we the people ,into little number groups and then pitting us against each other for years.

These two monster machines who control our country are none other than the Republican and the Democratic Parties who have for too long controlled the elections and politics of our country. There is no real difference if you look at the time they have been in existence. Every year for the last hundred they have demanded more money, more power and more people.

The only chance is for us to get their attention is to pull a lever against every one in both parties . That is the only thing that gets their attention. They don't really care if its a Republican or Democrat because they have old hands waiting to control them.

This is the only way I know to do it peacefully and is what I am going to do regardless of who tells me I'm wasting my vote. I have been voting for both for over half a century and the last 30 years has been a waste with both. All they care is increasing and dividing the yearly take while the bills they pass are just the way of getting the money to the ones that own them and see that they get their cut. The rest of the laws are those that increase their power are they let their staff meet with the special interest and write the rules and regulations they want themselves. They don't even bother to read what is in them are what is added after they have already voted on it.

All the while they steal us blind of our freedom ,our money, our country and our ability to think for ourselves, so the upper 20% can continue to acquire more money than they can possibly ever use and power over our lives that is bought daily and was never given to them by us,power they never should have.

I got nothing against them being rich or different, but but I have the strongest possible objection to them being my, my family, my friends and my country's god.

Collapse is coming. Whether we can (individually) survive the collapse is the big question. Prep away, folks! Prep like your life depends upon it! (My form of prep is learning how to grow food — farming — to keep as many people fed as I can.)

Remember that America is known for resilience. We are flexible in the extreme. Sarah Palin just floated the idea of a new political party, and that may be the glue we need. Don’t give up completely on the “normal” way of solving our problems ... not yet anyway.

That said, things are going to get vicious during the collapse. Yes, the Marxists will assume (or attempt) total control and that means lots of bodies piling up. Try not to become one of them. The hardest shot to take is the first one.

For now, get out and meet your neighbors. Get to know the other folks on your street. You might need them soon. (I’m amazed at the reactions I get when I sneer at all things Obummer ... I am NOT alone in my disgust!)

Just the other day I picked up an interesting little concept: A Militia of One. They’re monitoring our communications, so don’t use any. If the time comes to start drawing blood, and it might, consider acting alone. America has millions of deer hunters who can plant a round at a goodly distance. That skill might have practical uses, ya know?
