It’s Time To Fight Back

Yesterday, we celebrated the 244th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Those brave men who signed that document agreed to “mutually pledge to each other our lives, our property, and our sacred honor” to the cause of independence. All these years later, there are mobs in the street betraying the oath those men risked everything for. They seek a nation of co-dependence and control. They’re getting their way not because of their numbers or agreements; they’re getting it because our so-called leaders are standing down, waiting for them to grow up or burn out. They won’t. It’s time to fight back.

Thanks for posting this important message. Many Americans, like myself, want to know WHO THESE MISCREANTS ARE. How many there are, what the leader’s names are, who is footing the bill, and an educated guess as to their next moves. There are ways and means to destroy their efforts but we MUST know our enemies and play upon their weaknesses. Believe that God is in control for He is. He watches to see what those who profess a love for God and country will do. Let us respond accordingly. We need information to know the Achilles heel of our enemy.

I agree. Spend NO MONEY with liberal businesses.

Tell your neighbors about Jesus and forgiveness and that He has set us free to counter the lies that are being used to divide us.

And avoid ChiCom products wherever possible. Take a close look at that appealing do-dad you just gotta buy and see where it is manufactured. If China or Viet Nam, put it back on the shelf.

I do my best not to.

Police need to arrest those breaking the law and prosecutors need to vigorously go after each one of those people, creating a criminal record that will haunt their lives forever. Examples need to be made of them.

Exactly correct. Many young adults were so happy to be out of a months long lock-down that they streamed outside, joining the woke protests. They mostly stayed on the edges of the riots, but they provided cover for the window-smashers, looters and arsonists.

As soon as curfews were established, police could have arrested Curfew breakers, put them on buses, booked them and then released them with a citation for a fine or a later appearance Most would not have wanted to have this on their record. The serious anarchists would have then been exposed for police to deal with. Instead cities went from thriving to boarded up places of crime.

Spend no money with liberal businesses AND take the time to send the CEO an email and tell him why they have no longer earned your business.

I was a fan of NASCAR for at least 45 years. After their liberal virtue signaling in the last few weeks, that’s exactly what I did.

I was pushing my company to exhibit in the Fan Zone at a track near me. They just lost $15,000 in sorely needed revenue.

I Fully concur with the author’s sentiments. We are in a war for the survival of the Republic. Time to get serious.

All we need is a list of companies who support American values; however, I don’t see any major companies that haven’t bowed to the PC movement. It’s great to talk about boycotting, but the reality is that most boycotts fail miserably—especially when we allow monopolies in entire sectors.

Boycott Google, in place of whom, Bing, or any other of the myriad leftist companies? How about a right-wing cellphone provider, or bank? Anyone know any? Even Publix has bent the knee!

This entire article is a farce! The entire idea that businesses are no longer to be judged by the quality of their goods and services, but for some virtuous cause they support is Leftist and evil.

Hell, I’m not looking for businesses that support right-wing causes, I’m just looking for businesses whose sole purpose is providing decent products or services, without consulting the latest (Left or Right) social-virtue-media rating!

It’s great to talk about boycotting, but the reality is that most boycotts fail miserably—especially when we allow monopolies in entire sectors.

In fact, the companies who are doing the loudest virtue signaling right now are the near-monopolies - because they crawled into bed with government long ago, and government is the "customer" they need to please the most to maintain their market positions.

They are effectively not boycott-able by consumers, and even a flood of letters to the CEO would be referred to at the next quarterly meeting as "backlash from racists."

If one can find smaller conservative-owned business with good quality products, by all means patronize them. But recognize that the government monopolies cannot be pressured by mere consumer demand - they have darker masters to obey.
