I think the Sons of Liberty could be reestablished as a nationwide watchdog organization comprised of millions of patriots from every one of the 50 states.

Tell that to 5 million NRA members.
(and growing)
Try and take their guns. Conservatives
react to “direct” threats of life and
liberty. That’s why we elected President
Donald Trump.

Poke a stick at a hornets nest,
pour gas on a fire, pull the mask off
the lone ranger, or tell John Wayne
or Clint Eastwood they’re a liar and
see what happens. Conservatives will,
without a doubt, stand for what they
believe in.

Your closing:

<>As Thomas Jefferson said, “The Tree of Liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots.”<>

Okay, exactly what do you recommend young, strong, tough patriots should do? Where should they direct their violence? A Bernie-Bot tried to massacre a couple dozen GOP congressmen. It that what you have in mind, but on a larger scale?

Good reply, Jacquerie!

I have learned that the mouths of so-called patriots work far better than their legs and arms. I’ve worked voluntarily in a patriot group for almost eight years now; when we ask for help nobody shows up. When we ask for assistance in making phone calls, nobody shows up. When we ask for help handing out flyers, nobody shows up.

What’s worse is that a large field of fundraisers has grown around false patriotism. One radio host made it “clear” that he would not talk to our group for less than $7,000. One little puppy who fundraises for a “patriotic” school protects his turf like a pit bull—a pox on his Hare Krishna-like fundraisers. Another radio host told me directly that we couldn’t afford him.

We need active patriots, not profiteers.

Eric Hoffer: “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”

The Left entered the racket stage long ago. As your experience shows, it is a shame the good guys can hardly get the movement phase off the ground.

“It that what you have in mind, but on a larger scale?”

Yes, quite clearly the author wants YOU to commit violence for HIM. How noble.

He might believe he is patriotic. I have no way of knowing. And no capacity to care, really, for such emotional and illogical nonsense. Essentially he is advocating we behave like a combo of Antifa in the streets and college-type safe zones in the public square.

Some twisted logic might consider that ‘conservative’ simply because that word has always been quite subjective and is totally meaningless today. But it certainly does not fit any definition of liberty.

And what’s up with the reference to “muscular college boys” and “a little extracurricular activity”?? Kinda creepy really. Am I suppose picture them in short-shorts or in brown shirts?

Whatever he really believes, his words seem exactly like what I’d expect Russians or anti-gun folks to suggest. Because the results would not be good for Freedom. Regardless who won.

This is the first election THAT has a REAL ring of truth to it.

I’ve been asking that question for a long time .Everytime the left wackos go off on gun control there,should be a voice twice as loud telling them to shut the hell up and go away.

I think a lot of the Revolutionaries in the 1700’s were “old”.

“The conservative opposition is reactive at best, but invisible and limp most of the time.”

Kind of like Japan thought of America some time ago.

True, and I believe the statistic used in the Revolutionary War was about 5% of the population supported it.
