During the Civil War most fighting was done by standing in a field in a line and firing at some more idiots standing in a line across the field. No fitness other than the ability to stand up was required.

I am not 78 but I am near 77 and I can tell you that I am not fit for any kind of combat save defense of my home and only if they come slowly.

What do you suppose the age of the average Freeper to be?

“Right now American patriots are separate and unorganized but the right leader could bring them together into an unstoppable force.”

Fortunately for us, the conservative states are physically united, as in contiguous. The lib states are physically separated from one another, let’s just call them the dis-united states.

Conservatives control the center and the resources. Which are two good things.

The only monkey wrench that can be thrown in the system is if the libs recruit the chinese against us. But all we conservatives have to do to counter this is to tell the chinese to take LA and San Francisco, which is the only thing they seem to want.

The chinese should be able to take these towns easily because those towns don’t know how to fight. This should satisfy them.

“I think those knee-jerk ideological boycotts hurt the consumer more than the businesses (even in aggregate). It’s your right to do so, but remember that both businesses sell many good Christian books, etc., as well, regardless of what PC corporate spokeshomos say.

This has gone far beyond economic concerns; at least, it has for Christians. The “hurt” for the consumer is now a sacrifice to remove oneself from worldly influence. Have you read about “The Mark of the Beast”. That’s exactly what is coming and Christians should get ready. We won’t be able to buy, sell, engage in any kind of commerce or run a business without the assurance that we will go along with any and all the premises of evil and even participate. In the end, there will only be two choices. Many Christians will lose their eternal souls by trying to equivocate and blend the two. World friendly mega churches are already doing it and misleading millions.

My consumerism is about the least of my concerns at this point in time. Although other books are nice to have, I have had the essential one to my well-being all my life. Besides, it’s just a matter of time before they stop selling those too for the same reasons they give for not selling the Confederate flag.

Did Ghandi give up after one attempt? Did Walecha in Poland? Did the inhabitants of Cairo give up after one try?
Surely Americans are made of stuff stern enough to keep on marchng. The leftists don't give up that easily.

You are correct; it’s a different time and a different way of fighting. There are things we can do.

Do we start picking the worst of them off from ambush one at a time, or do we try to corral the whole bunch at once?

...I am not fit for any kind of combat save defense of my home and only if they come slowly.

But there are other forms of combat. Learn their supply routes and cause "accidents". Poison their water source. Report your progressive neighbor anonymously as a closeted Patriot. Pass the information to the resistance so they can ambush those sent to remove said neighbor.

We can do a lot of things besides head-on confrontation.

The problem is so many people see April 15 as another Christmastime where they get a check. FREE MONEY trumps the fact that it was theirs from the start and the government withheld it and had to pay no interest.

I am more a fan of just stopping... or showing no income.

I hope my farm “runs at a loss” for the rest of my life.
