"Dear diary,

I am soooooo depressed today.....
It's extremely cold and I just feel like my troops hearts aren't in it anymore....

Ye Mainstream Media are constantly touting polls that show the Revolution is EXTREMELY unpopular.....

The same pollsters show that in the Colonies, King George has an approval rating of 80%, while my approval rating is barely above 20%....

Last night, one of the militia accidentally killed one of our Indian scouts who got drunk and stole some corn, so NOW a group called ILM are threatening to abandon the cause....

I feel like I can't possibly go on, diary.....

What should I do?"

I'll ask your Mom if that's prudent advice.

I like what you tried to do here.

Ignore the haters and keep posting.

I honestly thought Conservatives were tougher than this.

I completely understand being down, but Jeebuz some of the whining makes us look like little schoolgirls .

This is actually poignant. I see posts from Conservatives saying to give up on the internet, give up on Trump, give up America...

How bout we simply stand our ground?! We don't need to rally, storm "CHOP" zones, whatever... we just need to not change our core beliefs. To RAISE our children instead of letting society raise them for us. To RAISE them to believe right from wrong. RAISE them to believe in the America our Founding Fathers created.

And most of all, to let them know that standing for your beliefs is much more courageous than giving in to the mob.

The OP is right. Washington did not give up. He BELIEVED in his cause. And so should we.

Cheers to the OP.

something worth remembering at this time from Sun Tsu...

"if you stand by the banks of the river long enough, the body of your enemy will float by..."

it won't be too long until all the kooks and nuts turn on each other...

and something else is going to happen that the left isn't going to like, have no idea what it is or when it'll happen, but something will break

"The Art of War" should be right next to your Bible if you are a Conservative!

Very reasonably satire shining light on the current insanity -

Many of the inmates have enough later intelligence left to know when they are being made fun of.

Keep up the effort - you have legions of like-minded patriots with similar thoughts.

It happens all the time on this board when there is a 5 or 10yd loss

Watch what happens with this place when there is a big run to the 1yd line

Yep, I believe in my fellow Patriots and I'm not without sympathy.....

Hell, I've caught myself getting the sads lately, but at some point we have to suck it up.

If not for ourselves, for our family.

"something' always happens in the wonderfully random population we exist within.

the left wing radicals will cause something 'awful' to happen if normal happenstance doesn't provide them enough 'causes' to riot about.

They have declared war on me - I am declaring war right back at them. Until this insanity passes, I will have no common interaction with any suspect of this anarchy.

They have declared war on civilization itself.....people are slow to wake up to that fact.

In Left World, riots and looting are the "new normal".

Yep. They are already eating their own.

I don't know what will happen either, but I think it will be that BLM starts coming up with their own political candidates and they and the democratic party tear each other down.

As one poster said, we just have to stand our ground. It will happen. They'll call someone out who won't fold and their end will begin.

Imagine if he had been a quitter like half the doom-and-gloomers all up in here posting lately.

I say half because the others (at least half) are obvious shills...
