Standing By: The Long War

Standing By: The Long War

Excerpt:
I have read Ann Barnhardt's piece on Cowardice, as memorialized at the Western Rifle Shooters Association. You might want to check it out as well. To me, it seems that Ann is calling on the American people to rise up in armed rebellion, or rather, calling the American public cowards for not rising up in armed rebellion. I too have been where Ann appears to be, looking around for someone who shares our values to lead us. But that fire has been quenched by others, and I can name them, but I won't here.

We are not ready for armed rebellion. There is no...

It seems to me that such things don't happen until it's generally too late.

It always bothers me when I see in print what many are thinking about. And the suggestion many are indeed thinking about it.
Personally, I don't think we're there, yet, at least I hope not.
It's been said Americans hate politics. Vote, write Congress, make telephone calls, discuss peaceably with friends, family and co-workers. Violence should indeed be the last choice, because it may indeed be the last. Turn the other cheek until you are devoid of cheeks.
Rubicon, and all.

Rev. Paul,

Thanks for link. I was trying to say that there is another way, that we can, and will win. Armed rebellion is not the way. Changing ourselves, our culture, and eventually the government is the way.

God bless,
PolyKahr

Matt, I don't know that it will happen at all - at least not in the way the first one did.

Guffaw, I hope you're right.

PolyKahr, you're welcome. I understood your point, and agree that we MUST try everything else that's available, first.

No. I'm inclined to like Ms. Barnhardt - if not all her judgements - but I think she goes too far here.

Armed revolution is not only an unpredictable, uncontrollable tempest, it is premeditated *murder*. I won't say it's always and forever off the list of options - but to refrain from charging into it is anything but cowardice. Especially now.

I think we've already started to turn the corner. Just like the dark and cold of February come long, long after the solstice in December, I think the seed of the awakening has already been planted.

Time will tell - I think we're starting to come around. But with the "full spectrum operations" thing flittering about, the worst thing possible would be to give the "evil violent tea partiers" inanity any support.
