"You better pray you never meet the real extremists."

Great post over at The Ultimate Answer to Kings including this comment:

"The people at those rallies aren't the extremists. They're just good, brave people who still believe in the political process. The real extremists stayed home, because they don't. You better pray you never meet the real extremists........."

I had a similar conversation with a reporter the other day. She asked me, "Who do you worry about most?"

I thought about rogue agents and out-of-control agencies, but then I replied, "The guys who no longer listen to me. They are trained, ready, primed and merely waiting for the opening gun . . . and they are getting damned impatient about it."

Enough is enough.

Allow me to introduce myself...

I'm the one your momma should have, but never did have the sense to, warn you about.

I'm an American. Ill tempered with your usurpation and impatient to reclaim my country.

I won't be "deconstructed" and I do not give a damn.

Oh, Hell no!

Anonymous said...: Indeed. I'm also damned impatient. And most of my friends who are aware of what is going on are getting impatient as well.

Something came up in conversation the other day that was scary and immediately required lowered voices... None of us had spoken of this stuff before, but apparently we have all been silently preparing for the unimaginable. All of us also had the same previously unmentioned thoughts. If something happens to touch this nightmare off, we won't be waiting for them to come after us... The consensus is that the best defense is a good offense.

Do the people in power really not realize that the places they spend most of their time are utterly indefensible without an army? The thought that a small handful of determined men could put an end to their existence without much physical risk doesn't seem to have dawned on them yet.; April 24, 2010 at 11:56 PM
Happy D said...: I used to fall into this category. Then I ran into the first chapter of Absolved.

Now patience is my favorite thing. Every day they don't start it is a day more to prepare. A day more to test a new idea. A day to add more people to our cause. A day more to learn from others.; April 25, 2010 at 6:55 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"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.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
