See that poll at right? At the moment 59% of you have admitted that you would not do anything to help George Zimmerman if had been convicted. First, thank you for the honesty. We all know that had he been convicted, it would have been a political conviction, which means Rule of Law is dead. Make no mistake, Rule of Law IS dead, Zimmerman just got lucky on several levels (he isn't white, so much obvious legal hanky-panky that the Jury got to see, and so forth).
If 60% of the people who read this blog, people who for the most part consider themselves Minute Men and willing to fight and die for Liberty, are not ready to leave the porch and resort to the bullet-box for such a blatant act of injustice, I ask you to please look inward and ask yourself this question: What is it REALLY going to take before you start defending our Founding Principles for your fellow Countrymen? Not just for you and your family - your Countrymen, fellow Patriots who you do not know.
So far as I know, there was not one massed crowd, anywhere, protesting the prosecution of George Zimmerman - an obvious Intolerable Act.
How did I answer the poll? I'd have sent him money for his commissary account so he could buy some trading material while locked up. But I'm not ready to leave the porch for what is, honestly, just one more abuse in our long train. Shame on me.
But: I would find out what prison they put him in. I would have found out his block and cell. I would pass that intel to local III when things get sporty. I have a list of people I intend to help, once it gets sporty. I have other lists, too - not people I intend to help on this plane of existence. But these are mental lists - sorry Mr. Prosecutor. Nothing is written down. ;)
Back to the poll: It is not yet time to leave the porch, at least not in a one-way, John Parker manner.
Yes, I agree with most of you who say we should have started long ago. But the reality is that right now, at this moment, the ground is not in our favor and too many Patriots refuse to move. I'm not sure what it will take - NSA barely registers an uptick of indignation in most Patriots. I don't know what it will take to make masses of Patriots leave their porches in common cause.
I do know this: Drawing a line at the threshold of your front door as "the" Intolerable Act that gets you moving is a FAIL.
It is time to have a serious conversation with yourself, Patriot.
Waiting much longer is not merely a losing strategy - it will result in the absolute loss of Liberty.
