President Grant distilled into a few sentences what most loyal citizens would have said gave the most meaning to their great internecine conflict.<br />"What saved the Union," Grant told companions at a dinner, "was the coming forward of the young men of the nation. They came from their homes and fields, as they did in the time.of the Revolution, giving everything to the country. To their devotion we owe the salvation of the Union...So long as our young men are animated by this spirit there will be no fear for the Union."<br />I proffer that this is no longer the case, and that many men and women will not come forward to defend the Republic any longer. Most would feel it not worth saving. Some would I know, but most officers would resign their commissions and pledge allegiance to either their state or take their loyalties possibly to the highest bidder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-1645545631242132532016-11-25T21:36:40.365-08:002016-11-25T21:36:40.365-08:00The first go-round was both a civil war and a revo...The first go-round was both a civil war and a revolutionary war. Torries and patriots, and the King's troops. If any person believes that an insugency in the US can succeed then I would have them understand that partisan war in the age of nuclear weapons is uncharted territory. Dangerous, beyond "firing two shots and retiring" of an age long past. The Revolutionary War was won because the brothers in charge of prosecuting the war, an admiral and a general, were simpathetic to the whig movement. Make no mistake, the powers that be will not drag their feet in pursuing an armed resistance not alinged with their ideals. In the true spirit of revolution, I suggest those that would have others abandon their early victories in independence provde uniforms, subsistence, and training at least comparable to the Maryland Cadets. Draw up your Regiments sirs!<br /><br /> Or, accept that this is a long game and now is the time to peacefully consolidate and move forward without killing tens of thousands, or millions, or billions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-76080339200949270072016-11-25T19:22:36.365-08:002016-11-25T19:22:36.365-08:00I do try to keep from feeding the beast as much as...I do try to keep from feeding the beast as much as possible. I drive a 10 yro car, I've paid off bills, I try to shop locally owned places that care about the swamp things that proliferate our mutual area. I ALWAYS discuss politics with the owner: I never shopped a Hillary/Obama supporter knowingly. I no longer speak to some relatives. When the magic negro rose up, I made my feelings known. Upset some blood relations terribly. (Well, don't let the door hit you in the aXX on the way out). I simply threw them out of the gene pool. That being said, I hold hope that we can get our country back, but I know that it will be a bloody, long, and mean fight. But hope springs eternal. <br />"Planting liberty trees in dense-row orchards" is now emblazoned in a place of honor: on the front of the refrigerator. Love this thought! <br />Trump is a brief respite, before the festivities. I intend to take advantage of the many job openings and using it to bank some metal. I am hoping that more patriots think of ways to cut off the avenues of Leviathon Enforcement. <br />-Stealth SpanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-31254794936794473362016-11-25T17:36:26.355-08:002016-11-25T17:36:26.355-08:00What followed Rome?

Yet, if there's an actual point, I can't parse it out from the spittle.<br /><br />Unless you're another crybully SWATting your neighbors for every mudpuddle they fill with dirt (and I doubt you are), your own life is likely 99.9% that of an Anarcho-Capitalist. You do what's best for your own self-preservation and trade value for value to get the things you don't in fact grow or manufacture.<br /><br />The main difference between us is that I refuse to wait on the blessings of The Movement, or whatever team consensus deems rebellion appropriate or timely. I think you'd do well to open your heart and mind to the fact that there are those of us who don't need (or recognize) outside leadership. Earthly outside leadership, that is, anyway.<br /><br />I'm not even asking folks to follow my example, but to open their mind to breaking up the federal leviathan. You don't want to secede? Then, don't. But, YOUR central government has usurped way too much authority. And it's time for corrective measures. That break-up does not require consensus, or even collective power, but the individual will to recognize that Oz's power is just an illusion.<br /><br />If, however, you choose to remain in deference to "authority", please do the rest of us the courtesy of stowing those wet blankets, rather than throwing them. <br /><br />Thanks.<br />jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121788916709770717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-15763014085298722812016-11-22T17:07:44.597-08:002016-11-22T17:07:44.597-08:00Resolved: Life truly approaches the point once aga...Resolved: Life truly approaches the point once again of Sherwood Forest under the benevolence of Prince John and his celebrated sheriff.<br /><br />The effort to build resilient establishments of traditional liberty serves as a hedge around yourself.
