"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

A Second Civil War Is Upon Us

Maybe I'm wrong, but what if I'm right? Is it worth the risk to do nothing? Make no mistake about it. We are in another civil war. It involves the Constitutionalists and the Progressives. And like the original Civil War, we will find ourselves "fighting" against friends and family in many cases. Are we strong enough to handle that? While this war does not involve violence, it does not involve weapons, is being fought strictly in the arena of persuasion - persuading the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans - it is a civil war none-the-less. There have been skirmishes for many years, and the Constitutionalists have lost most of those battles. Remember when there was prayer in school, and the Pledge of Allegiance? Remember when condoms were not handed out in school, and our underaged daughters couldn't have an abortion without our knowledge? Remember when you could say Merry Christmas without offending someone? And so, today, we find that there has seen a constant erosion of our liberty and a slow but constant shredding of our Constitution. We now find ourselves in a pivotal time in our nations history. Our backs are against the wall, and we're defending against a huge offensive. The very outcome of this war depends upon our ability to hold the ground we're on. The Progessives are throwing everything they have at us, and at a furious pace. Obamacare, Cap & Trade, the Stimulus package (Hmmm, not working, boss! But is it designed that way?) to name a few. Bill after bill after bill - all without being read, or being read by hired speed readers - how arrogant and disdainful. And like all those brave patriots who have defended this land, and freedom everywhere, throughout history - The Revolutionary War, the Minutemen, the defense of Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Bulge, the storming of Normandy, the hunt for Al-qaeda and Bin Ladin , and on and on - we must defend this land and we must win this war. There is no other option. Any other outcome is unacceptable. There can be no loss, there can be no compromise, there can be no further retreat from our principles. For to do so would result in the demise of America, beacon of freedom. So whatever it takes, the battle must be engaged until there is clear victory. But, like every army ever assembled, the progressive army has a huge number of followers who believe in their cause. So how do we win this war? We need a battle plan. Here's the start of one strategy, maybe you have ideas to improve on it, or maybe you have a better plan. Leave a comment if you do... 1. Research progressivism - know the enemy. 2. Research the voting record of your Representative and Senators - know the enemy. http://thatsmycongress.com/senate/ , http://thatsmycongress.com/house/ 3. Vote out progressive-voting elected officials - regardless of whether or not they are your friend, or even your relative, at the very first opportunity - take the battle to them. 4. Continue to watch the candidates - do not elect any candidate with a progressive ideology, ever - scout the enemy and the terrain. 5. Be vigilant, the enemy will counter-attack and will not go down without a fierce fight. They can smell victory, that's how close they are. Anticipate where those attacks will come from - new laws, the courts, the IRS, etc, etc. 5. Continue to vote out progressive thinking individuals - remember, there are "classes" in the Senate, so only a third are up for re-election every two years - take the battle to them. 6. As more candidates of our choosing are elected into office, instruct them to repeal those laws that have infringed on our liberties. Political activism in this manner is necessary for the country, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers, to survive - secure the perimeter. 7. Teach your children what you are learning and doing, (and teach them to teach their children) so that the vigilance we are embracing will continue well into the future - spread the lessons of battle. 8. Instruct your elected officials to pass laws that will prohibit the future erosion of the Constitution, and once we get it back continue to pass laws to strengthen that position - develop defensive and offensive weapons (laws) that will deter future aggression by our enemies. See you on the battlefield (I hope!). God be with you, my friends.
