Gun Control laws are put in place for lawful gun owners, and the Police State is not being put in place to control the FSA...

Drudge has a headline that Big Sis may be heading to AG.

She spent 4 years identifying "Domestic Enemies".

She'll spend the next 4 years working off that list and putting those "Domestic Enemies" in the crosshairs.

The fallacy of the "Legitimacy of Government" resistance

If my analysis in the below post is accurate, we will begin to see a new level of brazen use of Government force as a weapon by the Political Class.  We'll see things like the President re-starting the UN Small Arms Treaty process within hours of re-election.  We'll see things like a continued ramping up of Police State assets (hardware in public operation) and continued expansion of DHS presence on buses, on the streets, and checkpoints everywhere.  We'll see political enemies investigated by Government without the usual "CYA" excuses - the investigators will begin to drop the pretense and stop worrying about the "optics" of their actions.

If you, as a Patriot blogger or general Patriot, have chosen a course of resistance centered on "challenging the legitimacy of Government", you are wasting your time, your energy, and distracting your audience from preps and actions that will have value when the hammer falls.  Please understand that no matter what you say or think, this Federal Government has the Legitimacy of the vast majority of the Governed.  Period.  The 60 million who voted for President Obama are rabidly supportive of the current agenda, and the vast majority of those who voted for Romney are supportive of his approach to governance, which we all know is simply a "more gentle" version of the President's agenda.  (I do not lump in you folks who voted for Romney to slow the collapse)

I say this particularly to the bloggers in our community: If your strategy of resistance is to "reveal the illegitimacy of this Government", I implore you to examine your course and consider a more active agenda for the sake of your audience.  While most Patriots would argue, correctly in my opinion, this Government has no legitimacy because it wields power without Constitutional restraint, the reality on the ground cannot be ignored.  The vast majority of Americans dismiss your (and my) view of Government, and will cheer when you and your audience are prosecuted for anti-American activities.  In hardcore reality, this Government has legitimacy because they have the consent of the (vast majority) of the Governed.

Please start hammering on your sites the importance of your audience to take real-world, tangible steps to protect themselves against the coming genocide that will be fully targeted upon them.  Stop trying to win hearts and minds.  Stop wasting time trying to win debates.  The Enemies of Liberty do not care about your reasoned discourse, and they have no interest or capacity to let you live and let live.

Please advise your audience to pay Mosby to teach them real tactics.

Please tell your audience to get into a Krav Maga class, ASAP.

Please beg your audience to find like-minded Patriots and make real-world networks, even if they have to move out of their current suburb in order to have real Patriots at their shoulders.

Please counsel your audience that we can pick up the debates about how many forms of tyranny can fit upon the head of a pin after the real enemy, the enemy that is currently on the ground and in their faces, has been defeated.

Every single blogger I read advocates building Tribe.  Most Patriots are so few in number that they are isolated, with no real Patriots even within easy driving range.  Tell your audience it is OK to move, to find a town that has favorable geography and demography, where a dozen Patriot families, or a hundred families, can move into town and build the Tribe they so desperately need.  An isolated Patriot in a suburb with 6 months of food in the pantry, at some point, will be ordered to put groceries on the curb so they can be picked up by city workers and delivered to .gov redistribution centers "to help feed hungry people".  Failure to comply will be a death sentence.  Some will choose that death.  So be it.  But please tell your audience that there is no shame in re-locating to build Tribe and give themselves a fighting chance.

For those of you who have taken the decision to remain in place, so be it.  I respect your decision, because I know many of you have weighed every option and decided, for your own reasons, to stay.  But there is a large percentage of our readers who have not yet moved from the theory of resistance to the real-world application of resistance, and this must change, right now.

Bloggers: Please drop the "Legitimacy of Government" meme and push hard for your audience to get into the meat of how to resist. 

Patriots: If you look into your heart and know that you are not ready, get ready.  Or, you will die.  Your family will die.  Your women will be raped and used as mattresses by the genetic filth that will soon be unleashed.  Look into your own heart, when you are alone, and be honest with yourself.  Are you ready?  If not, fix it.

A quick test for Patriots who think they are ready to handle a hand-to-hand deathfight: Throw a heavy-bag on the ground and straddle it, and then for 60 seconds punch the hell out of that bag at full speed, no stopping.  Drop fists, drop elbows, shift and throw knees into the bag, at full speed for 60 seconds.  I am willing to bet most of you will be ready to puke at the end of it.

Now consider doing it in kit.  Now consider having to do it in the midst of a Stack.

Now consider how effective your "Legitimacy of Government" argument would be in that Stack.

If you are not ready, fix it.

If you have no real Patriots in your AO, consider a new AO, right now.

Implosion now has a timeline...

There was a difference between candidates last night.

It wasn't policy or ideology, however.

It was timeline.

With Mitt in the White House one could reasonably conclude that his tactics would lead to a likely delay before the camel surrenders.  Mitt shares ideology with the Left, but he is a moneymaker and rainmaker first.  That means he'd have worked in such a manner that would have settled the markets and allowed bubbles to grow for a while longer.

President Obama is an ideologue first, and has no interest in prolonging Implosion.  You don't think a few Patriots are the only people to conclude that a massive reset is required before real change can happen, do you?  The Hard Left wants to move the country much further Left, and they know a collapse is the most reliable way to reach their goals.

Upon the ruins, they intend to lay the Iron Fist.

So, it is reasonable now to conclude that an end-date is November 2016.  For the Hard Left to know they will govern during the collapse, the collapse must occur prior to the next Presidential election.

4 years.  I would contend that is the outside number.  At most, you have 4 years before America goes hot.  The next 1-3 years will be spent imposing more of the Police State apparatus and hollowing out the economic power of our country, exporting more and more of our economic infrastructure to the foreign Enemies of Liberty.

Triggering a collapse of a nation as rich and powerful as America is an imprecise science.  Any number of X Factors could trigger an earlier-than-desired Implosion.  But it is my expectation that if the domestic Enemies of Liberty are able to control this crash, if they are able to ride the stick all the way to the crash site, you and I have 4 years, at most.  Likely, 2-3 before the gloves come off and all pretense is discarded.

What does that mean to you?  What does that mean for you?  Only you can answer those questions.

The clock is ticking. 

I wonder how many people realized last night that the idea of a walled city filled only with armed Patriots isn't quite so nutty a concept...

The Fallacy of...

Moreover, while boomers were almost all born into families where mother and father were married and living together, Hispanics have a 53 percent illegitimacy rate, African-Americans a 73 percent rate.

Among the white poor and working class, the illegitimacy rate is now 40 percent — almost twice as high as it was in black America when Pat Moynihan wrote his 1965 report on the crisis of the black family.

And between the illegitimacy rate and the drug-use rate, dropout rate, crime rate and incarceration rate, the correlation is absolute.

Some of us are often accused of always “crying wolf.”

But it is worth noting that one day the wolf came.

That is Pat Buchanan.  Here's the full piece.

Let's face facts, Patriots.  President Obama won, and he did it because more people voted for him and his policies than for Romney.  Yet 35% of Americans self-identify as "Conservative" and only 24% self-identify as "Liberal".  It goes to show that regardless of the label you like to put on yourself, one man's "Conservative" is another man's "Traitor to the Constitution".  As has been discussed on this blog for quite a while, just because a man likes to call himself a "Patriot", he may well just be another ass-hat.

Labels are meaningless.  Actions matter.  How you carry yourself matters.  How you treat your fellow Man, matters.

Whatever you thought the odds for Liberty might have been yesterday, the election results tonight should cause you to re-examine your numbers and expectations.  Many men call themselves "Patriots" and have no use for the Constitution, Founding Ideals, no intention of giving up their Government FSA checks, will call you an extremist and terrorist if you suggest Social Security is unconstitutional.

Not everyone who says he's on your team is really on your team.

I have no use for a "Big Tent" Liberty Movement that includes people who "...are all fighting for Liberty."  Scratch the surface, as we have seen time and again, and you learn that your idea of "Liberty" is often quite different from that other guy's idea of "Liberty".  Refusing to stand with such people is not "Dissension" - it is choosing sides.

Choose sides, Patriots.

Kenny offers his perspective, here.

But please have the courage to see the truth before you: President Obama is going to have four more years because a very large percentage of Americans chose him.  He won against a guy who is very ideologically similar.  Between the two politicians running for President tonight, about 150,000,000 of your fellow Americans voted for Monstrous Government that steals from the productive to give to non-productive (President Obama) and nearly Monstrous Government represented by Mitt Romney.

If you believe that it is morally repugnant for Government to take the possessions of one American to give to another American, you are in a very, very, very tiny minority.  If you believe that no man or group of men has the Right to tell you how to live, to dictate even a moral code for you, then you are among an even smaller minority.

You'd better come to grips with this reality: The current government of the United States of America has legitimacy given to it by the governed.  Period.  They voted for this government and what this government does on their behalf.

Use this information as you will.

Mitt Romney has voted for many anti-2A laws during his political career.

Regardless of who wins, you should be voting for Liberty at IIIArmsCompany.com

One way or another, one day sooner than later, you will be faced with a national-level move against 2A.  You already know that fact.

November 6th

This will be my last post until tomorrow evening.

To every single Patriot who has put in work and moral support, thank you.

If you can purchase a firearm tomorrow, I hope it will be a III Arms 1911 or AR.  The order forms will go live tonight at midnight Eastern Time.  Options and pricing will be on the forms.

IIIArmsCompany.com

Citadel: If you are part of this audience and you want to reserve your place in the Citadel, please go now and submit the simple online form at IIICitadel.com.  The Citadel project will begin to earn attention beyond our community beginning tomorrow night, and reservations will be on a first-come first-serve basis, except for you if you get your reservation in by tomorrow night. Your reservation is non-binding and free, it simply ensures you are one of the first in line when the project is ready to take the next step.

We'll know what "The next step..." for the Citadel will be once we know how much support there is for III Arms.  There are several exciting announcements in the queue for the Citadel, but they will be rolled out after Buy a Gun Day.

If you remember, America 527 will also be selecting six customers who will receive gift certificates to their local gun shop.  Five people will win $100 each, and one person will win $500.  I suspect the III Arms Company would accept those certificates as well, if you are so inclined and lucky enough to win.  ;)  We'll probably announce those winners Wednesday.

Stay safe, Patriots.

Nine Hours and counting...

The Buy Now buttons will go live in fewer than nine hours.

There is no way I can properly explain the amount of work that has been done by so many Patriots in the last few months.  And they have all done so quietly, without fanfare or public recognition.  They are working for Liberty, not fame or money.

And for those of you who have been helping with moral support, with visiting blogs and forums outside our community to spread the word, thank you.

For the general III Community and Patriots who visit this blog, please take a moment and consider what this collection of Patriots is accomplishing.  We all speak of Tribe, of working together, of taking action that results in positive forward motion. 

These Patriots are doing it.

Regardless of what you may think of me, if you have not yet pitched in and helped raise awareness on the gunning and political blogs/forums you visit, please consider doing so tonight and tomorrow for the large group of Patriots who are part of your community.  Help them succeed.  Simply post a heads-up at your tea party sites, your firearms sites, et cetera.

The image is more of Zoomie's great work.  Please drop by his place and add one or two images to your site to help the III Arms project.

Now is the time to do a push for III Arms, Patriots.

If you support what 40+ Patriots and their families have joined together to try and build, we ask that you fly a banner or button on your site, write a post of support, visit several of your favorite mainstream gun blogs, militia blogs, et cetera, and post a polite, short heads-up that III Arms will begin accepting orders on Tuesday.

Please help by posting to a few different sites each day this weekend, and right through Tuesday night.

A Vote for III Arms is a vote for Liberty.

IIIArmsCompany.com or IIIArms.Blogspot.com are both good sites to promote. 

Every single post that you make is a big help, and may mean the difference between success or failure of this III Project, designed to help the entire Liberty Movement.

NYC FSA: Dumpster Diving already

**UPDATE THREE**

Stranded New Yorker: "People Are Defecating in the Hallways"

Have you doubted the predictions that disease would claim more lives when SHTF than hunger and violence?  Three days post-Sandy, and people are using public hallways as toilets.

Keep watching.  Keep learning.

Never forget.

**UPDATE TWO**

The residents of Staten Island are pleading for help from elected officials, begging for gasoline, food and clothing three days after Sandy slammed the New York City borough.

“We’re going to die! We’re going to freeze! We got 90-year-old people!” Donna Solli told visiting officials. “You don’t understand. You gotta get your trucks down here on the corner now. It’s been three days!”

Link here.

Gun Sales Surge In Fear Of Obama Re-Election

Gun shops across America are annointing President Obama as the best gun salesmen of all time.

They expect prices of rifles and firearms in general to double in price if the nation re-elects President Obama.

My point: President Obama has not passed or proposed a single further restriction on 2A.

Mitt Romney has a long history of restricting 2A.

Anyone not buying regardless of the outcome of the election simply isn't thinking prudently.

Sandy is the answer...

...to the question: Why the Citadel?

I have no desire to fight to get the necessities of life, or to defend my stash when "it" happens on a national scale.

You know "it" is coming.

You know how the masses will be stranded, become desperate, and how they will behave.

We are watching it right now.  We have seen it before.  We will see it again.

I choose to be as far removed from that nightmare as possible.

I choose to have as many like-minded Patriots as possible at my shoulder.

I choose to live, so I may one day influence the rise of Rightful Liberty once more across the continent.

Oh Sandy, II

I hope everyone is watching the headlines from the areas that were hit by Sandy.

If you had any doubts about how thin the veneer is between "Civilized Citizen" and "Me first", those doubts should be put to rest.  Looting and fights over gasoline, even when FRN's are still worth something.  The aftermath of Sandy, particularly how people conduct themselves, should affirm for everyone that commodities are more valuable than FRNs and even gold in a SHTF world.

The S has not HTF in Sandy's wake.  These are minor delays and inconveniences.

In a real SHTF world, there will be no re-supply.  That's when everyone will lose their smiles and facades.  That's when a can of beef stew will cost you an ounce of gold, or more.  That's when bullets, beans, band-aids and buddies will be worth far more than their weight in gold.

Oh, and a Federal Judge has now said it is okie dokie for FedGov to install video cameras on your property without a warrant.   Here's the link.

Liberty in my lifetime

If I live to die of natural causes at an average age, I will live to see Rightful Liberty exercised in my lifetime.  I have no intention of letting the next generation be responsible for doing the work we must do now, the work our fathers should have done then, and our grandfathers when they had their chance.  I see many blogs in our community advocating that we should educate our children for the fight that will come in their lifetimes, after we are gone.

I say: Bunk.

If we hand to the next generation an America void of Rightful Liberty, I will consider my life to have been wasted.  I will die with shame.  My nieces and nephews are in the two generations on the planet behind mine.  Not only is it not fair to leave this mess for them, it is also cowardly.  While you and I may face tools of tyranny today such as biometrics and drones, imagine what my nieces and nephews will face if this status quo is permitted to continue.  Their chains will be much heavier than are yours and mine.

I am relatively certain that an economic collapse will occur within the next few years.  There are millions of highly motivated people who will work in their own interests to delay Implosion as long as possible, and they are clever.  But current course and speed cannot be overcome.  I will not be surprised if Implosion happens in 5 years, at the outside.  Nor will I be surprised if it happens tomorrow.  I could make the argument that the detonations are already happening, infrastructure is being destroyed and dismantled as we speak, as we watch tv and vote, every swing of NYSE, each day another nail in the coffin.  The pace will quicken as the pillars grow more and more stressed.

Then, boom.

The Citadel is not a place to run away and hide.  It is a refuge.  It is a safehouse.  It is a muster point.

The Citadel is a place we will build together where Rightful Liberty can be exercised among our neighbors and Free Enterprise can be unleashed, all to the extent that Fed and State laws permit.  It will not be Utopia.  It will not be without glitches.  But it will be better than any other community in America that I know about, because all of our neighbors will share our ideals of Rightful Liberty and Free Enterprise.

The Citadel can serve as a showcase for other Americans. It will surely become a target of those who would be Masters.  But challenges like these exist in every Time of Man.  We are not exempt from the nature of our fellow Man who will seek to bury us in chains.

When the country implodes, be it with a bang or with a long series of small detonations, the Citizens of the Citadel will have advantages over most other Americans.  When the world gets ugly, we will have a place to remain as safe as possible, warm and healthy.

But most Patriots will not be satisfied to simply have Liberty within our own walls.

Many Patriots will pick a time and gear-up and leave the safety of the Citadel and move to secure Liberty on a larger scale amid the Remnants.  For our posterity.  We do have that Obligation.

My personal opinion remains the same: CONUS, from sea to sea and border to border, is meant to be a unified land where Rightful Liberty is the dominant ideology.

I know all of the arguments against such an outcome.  The naysayers may be correct.

But if we fail to try, our lives will have been wasted.

There will be Rightful Liberty within the Citadel in my lifetime.  But that isn't enough for me. 

Sea to sea and border to border is my intent.

Today the country is filled with hundreds of millions of people who will actively work to deny that outcome.  Lucky for advocates of Rightful Liberty that most of those contrary bastards will die of violence, hunger and disease as a result of their life choices.

When Patriots gear-up in the Citadel with the intent of securing Liberty across the land, we will be a much less populated country. 

Death to tyrants.

Yellow Belt Karate Gal kicks the snot out of Intruder

Jannine Ramirez in California returned home to the apartment she shares with her mother, and found a guy in the bathroom.  He had no business in her bathroom.

So, she kicked him out of the bathroom and kept kicking him until he was out of the apartment.

Now, I can promise this to you: A yellow belt in any martial art does not have the martial skills to kick an intruder out of an apartment, even if he is 10 years old.  But Jannine Ramirez had it in her heart to kick an intruder from her apartment.

The lesson is simple: Tools and skills are useless if you refuse to use them.  And if you have the desire and intent to accomplish a goal, skills and tools are not as important as the determination to succeed.

This is an important trait for anyone who is considering a place in the Citadel.

Good on her.  Here's the story.

Deer Hunters as Defenders of Liberty

There is talk about how many riflemen live in America, and whether that group of people can be an effective force against the State.

Militia.

Not an organized militia like OVM, filled with men and women who train and study and walk the walk. 

But an unorganized militia, much like the Founders and Framers had in mind.

Is not the very definition of the unorganized militia essentially: Guys and gals with their own firearms and gear showing up to defend home & hearth?  Will not the unorganized militia consist of former military members who bring much to the table?  Will there not be doctors and plumbers and linemen who know how things work and how to break said things?  Will not unorganized militia be contacted by organized militia such as OVM when the world gets ugly?  Will not the unorganized militia be as motivated to protect their home as the organized and the military man?

One of the prudent concerns is how do we get from step one (guys and gals with guns) to step three (victory).  Step two is often a soupy grey of undefined maybes and what ifs.

Much depends on the acts and actions of the enemy.  Much will be seat-of-the-pants and make-it-up-as-you-go when it comes to the unorganized militia in America.  It is simple reality.

Here's a test to help you decide if a few million guys and gals with deer rifles can be a potent weapon in the field against statist intentions:  Think back to your youth when hunting was new to you.  Think about your father, or uncle, and the guys at camp around the fire.

In an ugly world, if you were tasked with getting from Point A to Point B, but you knew there were 20-50 guys and gals from deer hunting camps between A & B, would you be worried about your odds of success?  Even if you had light armor and trained troops with full auto weapons?

I suspect most guys and gals at those camps of my youth would put the fear of God in any Statist tasked with challenging them.  Average Americans have proved time and again the ability to adapt, improvise and overcome.  You think that is dead in most Americans today?  Maybe.  But if only 10% of deer hunters decided to defend home & hearth, capable of putting .30-.06 fire on targets at 300 yards, capable of picking the time and place of engagements, capable of dialing into their local community to find out where the Bad Guys are and when they will be there.

In Calvert County Maryland where I spent most of my youth and teen years, among watermen and good ol' boys, you'd better believe there were "Intel Networks" in place that were very accurate and effective.  And all those good ol' boys could drop a deer at 300 yards with a spotlight and didi before LEO showed up.  If I had to drive down Maryland Route 4 with a convoy, and I knew my uncle and his buddies were there, somewhere, and determined to deny the route, I'd place my money on them.

And the old guys who don't have what it takes to hump a ruck any more?  A man in a rocking chair on a porch overlooking a road, with a deer rifle and an FU attitude, is a problem for anyone he doesn't want passing that road.

Don't worry about the unorganized militia.  Real Americans will step up and crush the learning curve.  Lazy Americans will die.  It is win-win for Liberty.

Stop worrying so much about what others are doing, and put yourself in a position to take point when those good ol' boys decide to leave the porch.  Make sure you have a few extras of essentials to fill in the gaps of their gear.

And you should find comfort in the knowledge that most Statist activity will be limited to major metro areas and their immediate suburbs.

Intellectual Honesty

Are you Intellectually Honest?

If you spent 20 years in the congregation of Rev. Wright, would you disavow the man and his ideals when politically convenient?  If you stood with a man who claims to be an honest and Godly man, yet you discover he is a liar, would you still stand with him?  More: You discover that he is a liar for self-aggrandizement and egotistical reasons.

Honesty is one of those core values that is not negotiable in my world.  Of course there are a few caveats.  Lying to protect an operation or an ally is justifiable.  Fibbing to your wife about the skirt with the horizontal stripes and her butt is not only justifiable, but probably prudent.  I'll lie in a hot second if it advances the survivability goals of my Tribe, especially if no injury is caused by the lie.   But lying for selfish purposes is not acceptable.

I could stand with a man who is genuinely patriotic and a selfish liar, but I will not.

Lying for selfish reasons reveals a very ugly fact about the liar.  Standing with such a man reveals much about you.

Intellectual Honesty demands that when you learn of a failing in a person that you find offensive, you live up to your own standards, even if it hurts.  Step away.  Or, at the very least, challenge the lie in the same venue it was offered.  If the lie was public, challenge it publicly.  If you denounce liars, and choose to stand with a liar, you are not being Intellectually Honest, and you assume the same taint as the liar and you are lying to every man who chooses to stand with you.  When you fail to call out a lie, you are as guilty as the liar and equally responsible for the damages and injury inflicted.

Too many people are willing to "overlook" the failures of others when it suits their goals.

When you advocate 1A rights, when you pound upon the altar of patriotism that 1A is not only a Constitutional Right, but a Right of Natural Law, and then you call for a website that is critical of you to be shut down for obscenity (or any other reason), you demonstrate that you are a hypocrite of the highest order.  Every 1A advocate who remains at your shoulder who knows the truth about you is being intellectually dishonest, and is equally guilty.

There are core values that should be used to measure the people with whom you will stand, and when deciding who you will permit to cover your back.  When you trust a man to cover your back, you are also trusting that man with the fate of your family.  If you get knifed in the back, is not your entire family placed in dire straits?

Could I be accused of living in a glass house and throwing stones?  I have been accused of many things, but not lying for self-gain.

Choose your allies carefully, Patriots.

What is coming our way will be merciless and unforgiving.  If you choose your allies imprudently, you will die.

Elections to be postponed? Not so much...

Politico floated a balloon today about postponing the elections.

I suspect the balloon was designed to see who would balk.  An ink pack squirted into the water to see where the dye ends up.

Here in my neighborhood, we escaped with no damage, a few limbs down.  In the greater DC area it is mostly power failures.  New Jersey and New York were hit hardest.  Pennsylvania is the only state with any electoral significance, and a delay only helps the Rs.

So, ask yourself who would benefit from a delay at the national level if voting were suspended.  Most of the country understands that barring a major event (beyond Sandy) Mitt Romney is likely to be the next President.  The states most affected are reliably Blue states, no advantage for either side by delay.

The Left would face a backlash from the Right of epic proportions if they try to delay.  "I told you he was an enemy, now he's trying to steal the elections!"  There would be many versions of that statement not only from the fringe Right, but mainstream as well.  The Left would sacrifice Legitimacy for decades, even for trying.

If elections are delayed with the intent of a D victory, they could only take office and hold office with troops in the streets.  Not going to happen.

Delay elections to set a precedent for some benefit in the future?  Maybe, but certainly not likely.

The elections will take place as scheduled, with perhaps a state or two making some sort of accommodation for the storm.  Mitt will win (barring some major event beyond Sandy) and President Obama will be seen by future generations as the most ruinous presidency in our history, save Lincoln.

When a Man reveals who he is, believe him...

If you run a blog or comment frequently, your true nature will be revealed at some point.

A lesson more Patriots need to learn and apply is that not everyone who calls himself a "Patriot" or "Liberty" advocate is to be counted as an ally and entrusted with your life.

I'm not going to write a long essay on the topic.  I already know the lesson.  I know who I am.  I know what I am and of what I am capable.  I know what is beyond my reach.  I know where I am going.  When a man reveals his true self and I find it contrary to my ideals or goals I move on, and that man is no longer allowed on my flanks.  Ever.

Trust and loyalty are invaluable.  I believe these two characteristics are hard-wired in one's DNA, alongside the capacity (or lack thereof) to understand and live by Rightful Liberty.

Some people simply can't do it.

I will not smile and play nice with a Liberal at a party or PTA meeting for the sake of political correctness.  The same applies to any man who has proven by his deeds or words that he is unworthy of trust, even if he calls himself a "Patriot".

The republic is headed for a fight.  I will choose very carefully who is permitted on my flanks, and the list is short.  Because we are not talking about a football game or dance contest.  My personal vulnerability regarding life and fortune and sacred honor is pretty high at the moment, my butt is hanging in the wind in several ways.  My wife is right there with me.  Many Patriots are standing with me, risking very, very much.  Yet for Liberty, we're risking it.

Every American will soon face Life & Death confrontations regarding the topic of Liberty.  Those who mean to be Masters, and their Useful Idiots, will move sooner than later.  Many good people will die.  I will do all I can to ensure as many real Patriots as possible will not die, at least not in vain.

This ain't no damned game.
