And to think, if he were alive today Jefferson would be under attack by an amalgamation of scum who aren't worthy to even be a piece of used gum underneath his boot.
So monumentally sad what has happened to America.

Do you think the federal government is your friend?

Thomas Jefferson would be telling us to pick up our rifles.

I find the last line particularly interesting. It’s often left out:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of your sons and daughters” doesn’t play as well, but it’s closer to the mark.

Then pick up your rifle and get this party started.

I have been saying for some time that a civil war is coming in the US. Some think I'm crazy, some call me an idiot, but look at the direction that things are headed and ask yourself what the solutions are.
There was a time when regardless of the situation you could always vote yourself out of it but if there is one lesson from the whole Russia Collusion farce its that we may be in a situation where we cant solve this at the ballot box. What happens at that point?

TLDR: 'merica!
There are patriots who understand what the United States is and believe it is worth defending. There is another segment of society that is 'historically ignorant', does not understand the freedom given to them, and would openly subvert or corrupt our way of life and institutions. Those who are patriots and see the decay are well prepared for the inevitable. It will be a sad day when it comes, but patriots will face it with resolve.
I want to be clear here for the liberals who are on this board. I welcome anyone, regardless of the color of their skin or their religion, to be my fellow American. It begs the question: What is an American? To me, it means that you buy into the 'social contract' allowed under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You are willing to follow the law and play by the rules. As long as you are not infringing on those rights (including personal property), live your life. You also accept 'Americana' and our culture. It's not that we don't value the culture of other places where there is culture to be admired, but we are American. Those who willfully disdain or come to push a different culture onto us are not welcome. When you agree to be an American, you agree to join us -- to be one of us -- and to love America. You agree to stand next to me to defend her and to defend her ideals. You want to make sure that Lady Justice is truly blind in issuing her justice. All of the above is predicated on facts, abiding by law, and a desire for an objective outcome.
In short, I love you if you love America. But you can damn well be sure I will not hesitate to defend myself or my fellow American when the time comes. As I said, that will be a sad day when the Left finally goes too far, but good men don't stand idly by when tyrants or their paid goons do evil.

This was only applicable when the large majority of people actually wanted liberty. We have far too many people now who are completely fine with giving up liberty in exchange for government subsides and handouts.

Another one?
Y'all spend a lot of time talking and very little time doing.

Shut the hell up already,no one wants to hear anything you have to say. Don't you get it?
You say you served and went overseas, and were wounded. If so, I am sorry this happened, and thank you for your service. There is a reason people do this, and evidently you don't understand why. So sit over there in that dump boring town and do whatever it is you people do.
The example I gave the other day was strictly hypothetical and highly unlikely but you and your ilk were too busy acting like middle school kids to get that. As Royal said, any real trouble won't be started by us.
