I hope to one day meet you, TL, Arctic Patriot and the others who daily bring forth the message of Liberty. If that day does not come it will most probably be because we are gone from this earth. I do not know in truth how many there are who are really willing to stand but it has been said that 300 Spartans held their ground against an army 1000 times their size and by doing so gave the rest of Greece the time, the courage and strength of conviction to stand and repel an invading army.

By the afternoon of April 19th, Americans numbered "2,000 strong" as they drove the British regulars in retreat back to Boston.<br /><br />I think we'd see similar results once the jack boots decide they really want to play in earnest...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-22577337270372700762012-03-25T07:34:40.218-07:002012-03-25T07:34:40.218-07:00"Nobody asked me but here's my advice

This might be as simple as numerous non-connected non-joiner type folk across the nation engaging in activities similar to the "Counting Coup" activities found elsehere on this network. The most critical part of the exercise is to be able to repeat the actions without getting caught. This means using your heads, avoiding digital "foot prints" both at your home and at the scene (i.e.: cameras).<br />http://iiipercent.blogspot.com/2012/02/counting-coup-challenge-to-serious-iii.html<br />Of course that's just an opinion and we all know the relative worth of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-43996323704417659342012-03-25T06:57:33.197-07:002012-03-25T06:57:33.197-07:00Mr. Kerodin, Et Alia:
