American patriots are keeping a watchful eye on uncle sugar.
I truly believe the possibility of a second American civil war is rising. I hope this doesn't happen, it would be ugly.
Folks who've tasted freedom, those who cherish freedom will never lay down and let it slip away. May seem like it now, but I'm convinced Americans want to continue to use the current system to bring about change in a peaceful way. No doubt.
On the other hand, there is an undercurrent of folks preparing, organizing and watching. Americans still have too much to lose. When they reach a point in which they do not...you will hear them loud and clear.
Rep. Stewart’s effort to demilitarize federal agencies. Even some in congress are alarmed at what they see.

I wonder how many on Free Republic have actually visited Intercept and read the documents from Snowden’s dump.
Here are a couple of links I found interesting:

The problem I see is that we know the powers that be have no problem planting operatives to goad actions like Fast and Furious domestically.
We are faced with the IRS and realize how easily these powers can be turned against any selected group. Republican or Democrat did not use to matter. Both were American. Now it is starting to appear, neither is. They are power centers, joined in dominating free citizens through tossing crumbs for reward and an iron boot when needed. They KNOW how to thread the needle. They know how to keep us at the keyboards and out of the streets. They act freely in their own interest without fear of consequences.
If you can read what is being done and can still express yourself freely on Free Republic without a chill running up your spine, you are either in denial or like me, an old man with not much to lose.
I used to fear a knock at the door. I now know I will never see it comming
but I’m convinced Americans want to continue to use the current system to bring about change in a peaceful way.
Yes, they would LIKE to but they will not be allowed to do so.
I seem to recall a time 240 yrs ago when the forces of those who wanted to use the system were continually abused and their attempts rebuffed.
Americans still have too much to lose...
Yes.
Here the press AND the gov are in full throated demonization mode and, this is new for US, in the process of criminalizing speech they do not like. Not just castigating it but punishing it.
This will not stand for the most of us. It won’t be pretty but it WILL be stopped.
We either win back this republic and return it to a nation of laws or we start over...its THEIR choice how they want that to happen.
They need to understand: I may be old but I WILL stand. And I won’t have too much to lose.
Or, people who have lived under this so called “freedom” and have seen what others around the world live under aren’t so willing to surrender what we still have. I’ve seen the ugly side of what some folks are subjected to. We aren’t there yet but sliding that way. If you want to see the utopian dream, just think/look at pictures of how everyday common folks live in Moscow or Yerevan, Armenia or any of those wonderful places that stuff families in to 600 sq/ft high rise apartments. Limited water, electricity, food stocks, etc. Meanwhile the elites limo off to their dachas to chow down on some beluga caviar far from town. Sound familiar? Like Mel Brooks said: “It’s good to be the king.”
“I truly believe the possibility of a second American civil war is rising. I hope this doesn’t happen, it would be ugly.”
I’m thinking that there’s going to be a false flag attack. They’ll put the boot down then when we’re busy saluting the flag.
More like a 1776 than an 1861, I think. I don't imagine a lot of states will side with an out-of-control federal government.
