Worth Repeating

"We will not go gently . . ."
This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.--

While posts are the main reason I "surf" around the blogs, I find extremly good writings in sidebars and profiles. Above is quoted in full from here

Relentless

We must not relent, period. Since early November the circles I run in have become a skittish bunch. "The guns are going away, the guns are gone." I am by no means fully prepared, but I have at least one of each of those disappearing guns in my possession or more. None of them are "top of the line", but all are proven shooters. I have not nearly enough ammo, but around 200o rounds. We cannot relent, or relinquish our position. The time for compliance and compromise is nearing an end. I do not mean that in a "Molon Labe" prod, but as an idea of a paradigm we need to prepare for.

-Define your beliefs, for yourself if no other reason. Do not shut out others, but do not broadcast you thoughts. Every revolution has been slowed and in most cases stopped by informant "double agents." You need to spread the word, not yourself too thin.

-Prepare to the best your ability at "this point in time." I cannot afford a Barrett M82A1 now, but a Savage 111 was within my budget. I can afford to become accurate within my means.

-Learn "intelligence" techniques, learn encryption, and anonymity. These can be come an asset in your personal and professional lives, even the the S never HTF.

-Build a network and or community NOW. Find others who are among the 3% before full scale investigations of "club memberships" becomes reality. The investigations may never come, but you will gain friends of a feather, and loose nothing.

-Train with what you have NOW, not what you might have later.

-Above all else, STAY POSITIVE.

Have a good day, enjoy the food.

Fair Warning

Armed minorities never fear the leviathan majority. History is not made by "democratic majorities" but, for good or ill, by determined minorities. George Bush has done us one favor, at least. He has destroyed his own party of big government lite and set the stage for The Raw Deal, much as the Weimar Republicans set the stage for Hitler. But in doing so -- by enabling the Great Lightworker's Nanny State -- he has removed any chance of redress of our grievances by political means. In the unholy trinity of Obama-Reid-Pelosi we have people who will attempt to make sure of it by attacking more of our Constitutional liberties. This is good. Finally we will be to the point where the masks are off and we will face each other without pretense. You, with your godless collectivism. Us with our faith, and our determination to maintain our traditional liberty as well as our property.

I Hate to Gush, but...

Well, not just me. I have friends, of course. We call ourselves the "three percenters" as we believe we represent at least 3 percent of the gun-owning population. If you insist on calling gun owners by false appellations suggesting various lunacies, think of us as the Hannibal Lectors of "gun-nuttery"

Is it just me or does damn near everything this guy writes resonate like a bull horn and make me smile with a little gleam of "damn that was good", or "I wish I'd have thought of that." Thanks for another Mike (my Alleged Leader)

Vanderboegh hits another proverbial nail

an excerpt from here
"They stood faithful to the oath that our Founders gave us: To bear true faith and allegiance-- not to a man; not to the land; not to a political party, but to an idea. That idea is liberty, God-given, inalienable liberty as codified in the Constitution of the United States. We swear, as did they, an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And throughout the years they paid in blood and treasure the terrible price of that oath. That was their day. This is ours. The clouds we can see on the horizon may be a simple rain or a vast hurricane, but there is a storm coming. Make no mistake."

I believe with all of my heart that most people do not get it. Day after day i hear and see arguments over skin color, the all mighty dollar, what kind of car some is driving, how they let their kids hair look like, or who has the "beast dressed" plaque for the day. All of these mundane arguments are about "the idea" listed above. These arguments lead to a constriction of the idea of Liberty, and it pisses me off.
Johnny is "black" and Timmy is "white, I don't give a F*(K, they are equal and bland in my eyes.
Ronald is "wasteful" with his money and Sally is too frugal, I don't give a F*(K, it is their money.
Can you believe Joe's son has purple hair, and a tattoo, I don't give a F*(K, it is their family.
My khakis are from the Gap, I don't give a F*(K, mine were on sale and they are MINE.
Liberty is more than a principle it is a way of life, they only life if you ask me. We tend to look at extreme cases of oppression
Taxes
2ND Amendment Violations
Genocide
Don't get me wrong those are large problems, and sadly very real problems. But in our LIFE we can stop the small infringements that lead to the large ones.




"Our war is a Spiritual War, our great Depression is our lives" Tyler Durden Fight Club

With Liberty we have control over our lives, we can win the war and stay off the depression.

Freedom is not only a state of being but a state of mind.
"The Spartans at Thermopolae knew this. The fighting Jews of Masada knew this, when every man, woman and child died rather than submit to Roman tyranny. The Texans who died at the Alamo knew this. The frozen patriots of Valley Forge knew this. The "expendable men" of Bataan and Corregidor knew this. If there is one lesson of Hitlerism and the Holocaust, it is that free men, if they wish to remain free, must resist would-be tyrants at the first opportunity and at every opportunity. Remember that whether they come as conquerors or elected officials, the men who secretly wish to be your murderers must first convince you that you must accept them as your masters. Free men and women must not wait until they are "selected," divided and herded into Warsaw Ghettos, there to finally fight desperately, almost without weapons, and die outnumbered." (Agan the full Text is here)
"Liberty or Death" is more than a Patrick Henry quote, it is a two way street. You ar either living under one or the other, but you are also directing those around you towards one or the other.
