As an opinion writer of nearly twenty years now, thousands
of reader responses over those years taught me one thing above all else, that
Americans are nothing if not opinionated.
of reader responses over those years taught me one thing above all else, that
Americans are nothing if not opinionated.
No matter what side you take on any
issue, you will find those who agree and those who disagree, as well as those
who admittedly just don’t know.
Best I can tell after years of engagement with readers all across
the country and around the globe, our society breaks down into only a few
categories…
·
Those who think self-serving global Marxism is
the future
·
Those who think self-indulgent anarchy is the
future
·
Those who aren’t aware of the present, much less
the future
·
Those who know history and are frightened of our
future
·
Those who are ready to fight for our future,
driven by our past
People who think government is responsible for their
happiness are not happy. People who know it is government that is stealing their
right to pursue happiness are not happy either. But is anyone really good and
pissed off yet?
No matter which group someone resides in, they are not happy
with our current government. Congress is at an all-time low 6% public approval
rating with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats controlling the
Senate. Over 70% of Americans have no faith in the U.S. Supreme Court as
defender of Constitutional Law and the vast majority of Americans can’t even
figure out who the guy is sitting in our White House “fundamentally changing
America” into something it was never intended to be, part of some left-wing
global Marxist experiment.
Yet, there are no real signs of any significant uprising by
the American people, who still outnumber the global Marxists and illegal
aliens, at least for the moment.
Divided by childish turf wars and competing pet agendas, the
so-called patriotic resistance is quite frankly, a joke. No one has been able
to muster even a coffee clutch march on Washington DC since 2009 and most
patriot groups around back then aren’t even around anymore.
In short, Americans are more focused on America’s Got Talent
than America’s Got Freedom. Americans appear war weary before the real battle
for freedom even begins, and they seem all too ready to forfeit their future,
if you buy the current whining and sniveling about how “there is nothing we can
do” which floods the blogosphere and email chains these days.
Are Americans really
ready to forfeit?
I have been trying not to say this for five years now…
hoping that at some point, all so-called patriot groups would drop their turf
wars and pet agendas and unite behind the simple fundamental cause of decency,
honor, freedom, liberty and justice under the rule of constitutional law. That
has not happened…
There is ONE place
where YOU can join with
others in an effort to work together, multiplying your power in peaceful
tangible strategies aimed entirely at the fundamental cause of freedom, liberty
and the rule of law, not scumbag Ivy League attorney’s. There are not many
places, but there is at least ONE place where you can find these things if you
only choose to join the ranks.
While it is true that all of the things we used to be able
to rely upon, honorable statesmen, real courts that provide equal justice under
the law and a pro-American administration, are absent today, it is not true
that there is nothing we can do about it…
While it is true that many competing groups are driven by
pet agendas, turf wars and even profit motives, it is also true that there are
people in this country who are ready to stand together for freedom and liberty.
While it is true that there are retired high-ranking
military officers more concerned with their pensions and tee times than the
future of this country, it is also true that there are some who will give all
for the cause of freedom.
While it is true that some veterans are perfectly happy to
sit it out on the sidelines as long as the beer is flowing at the local VFW,
there are other veterans who live by the oath they took to protect and defend
the U.S. Constitution and the American people from all enemies, foreign and
domestic.
The question is…
where do you stand?
If you are ready to forfeit, to throw in the towel on
American freedom and liberty, then you can sit it out anywhere you like. All
the way back at the first American Revolution, 1/3 sat it out perfectly fine
with British rule, and another 1/3 was completely unaware. The last 1/3 paid
the price of freedom and liberty for all…
I suspect that not much has changed since then… Real
Americans don’t take an oath to stand down in the face of illegal orders --
they accept an oath to rise up against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Real
Americans aren’t shackled by political or legal processes run amok -- they toss
off their chains and right their ship.
At best -- only 1/3 of Americans will pay the price of
freedom and liberty for all again. Are you one of them? Are we still the home
of the brave? -- Because if we aren’t, then we are no longer the land of the
free.
With more than 300 million Americans in this country today,
we should have 100 million (1/3) ready to determine the future of this country
peacefully and if we do, then less than a thousand corrupt politicians and
lawyers in Washington DC don’t have a chance. There is much we can do!
Because the broad patriot movement has been moving in
opposite directions, focused on competing pet agendas and stacking up defeat after
defeat for better than five years now, a very different kind of organization
was formed by the type of Americans who still believe in freedom, liberty and
justice for all.
This group is self-funded – very focused – totally united –
capable and determined to win. It was formed by and is run by true patriots, the kind of veterans willing to give all
for freedom and legal experts
ready to fight evil on all fronts. All we need is more like us…. Is that you?
Most Americans will not answer any call to join the ranks of
anything they suspect to be real and they will have a plethora of excuses. Some
will directly attack this column for being so bold as to distinguish between
sunshine patriots and real patriots. We are not looking for those kind of
Americans… we are looking for a special kind of American. -- The kind that
founded and built the greatest nation ever known to mankind.
Is there really nothing we can do? Or are most Americans
just not willing to do the things that must be done peacefully, before violent
alternatives are all that remain?
Thousands of Americans have taken to the streets over the
sad and tragic death of one teenager in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Where are the millions of Americans who have seen the death of three thousand
Americans on September 11, 2001 – or the four Americans left defenseless by our
government in Benghazi – or the members of SEAL TEAM
6 that died with a target painted on their backs by Joseph Biden, Barack Obama
and Leon Panetta?
What difference does
it make?
Contrary to Hillary Clinton’s proclamation that none of
these people or incidents matter, they matter very much. They make all the
difference in the world…
Are YOU the type of American who will join with others who
demand answers and solutions? Or are you the type of American afraid to be
associated with this type of Americans?
Are you the type of American who sits around wondering
what’s happening, or ignoring what’s happening with a sense of defeat? Or are
you the type of American committed to making the right things happen, no matter
the odds? Are you the “only violence can save America” type, or the “we must do
all we can before the violence” type?
Not every American is well-suited for freedom and liberty
and as a result, many are willing to live in bondage rather than pay the price
of freedom. What type of American are you?
I didn’t bother attacking the overtly anti-American media
here, because if we still had Americans in America, they would be completely
irrelevant by now.
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, JOIN ME! We work
tangible strategies at the local, state and federal level, from the
legislative, legal and military sides. We are NOT a PAC because individuals
should give political donations only directly to the candidates of their
choice.
Our members are doing everything they can. But as Lee states
it quite well, we
are too few! If you are the type of American that will pay the price of
freedom and liberty for all those who will never even thank you, please JOIN US! We need
YOU and America needs YOU more than ever before…
Time is growing short… Be the hero you were born to be. The
alternative is horrific. Don’t forfeit our future… Help us decide our own
destiny.

You make a great point. However, I do not think it is a lack of wanting to do something about this. There are a few factors that are keeping Real Americans from taking action.
First, there is not leadership. Where is George Washington when you need him? Remember, the Revolutionary war fighters had the backing of a congress, with great minds and a document outlining what was needed to be done, and most of all, great leaders to believe in. Second, way back then, though Britain was considered a superpower compared to us, we still had much equal weapons. Their men had muskets, we had muskets. Maybe they had a cannon or two or more, and maybe we had one or none. On the battlefield, Britain had the advantage, but we at least had a fighting chance.
Today, we have no leaders, no guidance and no backing. Who forms us up? Who leads us to action? Good leaders are no where and they are not made easily. Anyone who might make a good leader would NOT want the job. Even among the good hearted, getting enough men together to agree on anything is impossible, much less agreeing on who should lead us, and that would be if there were optional leaders.
Finally, the fight is not the same. We have slightly better weapons than muskets, but they have INSANE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. I can only think of events like Galipoli, where the battle would be a mass suicide with absolutely no impact on winning. We could round up a hundred thousand men, and be easily taken down.
The jihad overseas has very well armed men with weapons way better than We The People are allowed to have, and they have a violent mindset of do or die, and they are getting slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, yet our great military has only lost a few thousand (Not negating our brave men who died, just comparing the numbers). At home, our military would be convinced we are a nutjob anarchy militia group and would easily take us out.
Americans are ready to fight, but all we have left is the soap box and the ballot box. The cartridge box is pretty much a non-option.
We need a great leader, and none exists. Any that pop up get villified and the people seem to accept this and quit backing this person.
I would love to see a NEW hope and change...back to what our Founding Fathers envisioned for us. But at this point, nothing can be done. Secrets are no longer kept our current king over us has seen to it that anyone who even talks of such things is taken out, either ridiculed and marginalized by the all willing Goebbels propaganda machine (MSM).
Hell, it took the combined efforts of many countries, billions of dollars and millions of men, with the life lost count in the millions as well to unseat Hitler. And that was easy compared to the task we would need to undertake to repeat that.
At this point, even the toughest of us has figured out that it is easier to try and cope and get along. Maybe, just maybe, if a great leader with great backing can rise up, we can take action, until then, we have no backing, no coordination, no network...nothing. It would be suicide with the end note of our lives as one of a disgraced traitor, despite the fact that all of us are more AMERICAN than the person in the oval office. How sad. We have only ourselves to blame. All of us saw this coming and could have nipped it in the bud when it was easy...now, it's greater than all of us.
