Where are we?

This post is pretty much the reason I decided to start blogging. I’ve been trying to formulate my thoughts about where we are and why we haven’t done anything about the tyranny we are under. I’m going to take a page from Alvie’s book and use some movie scenes to try to illustrate my point. This is what I’ve come up with…

I believe that we are all here:

We all perform our little acts of disobedience, like walking up the aisle while the monsignor is speaking to the congregation… did you catch what the monsignor said? “Now, we must all fear evil men, but there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men!”

I think that is where we are. We are each off in our own little piece of the world, mulling over the tyranny and corruption of the government. Very few of us have had our individual breaking point happen to us yet. For the brother’s in Boondock Saints, it was when the Russian mobsters tried to issue payback.

Afterwards, the brothers turn themselves in to the police. There it is determined that it was self-defense and they are released without charges (good luck on that happening today). After that, it occurs to them that there is a lot of evil in the world that no one seems to be doing anything about, so they decide to take action, to no longer be indifferent to evil.

Chiropractors focus on the biomechanics of the body as a whole, whether applied to a canine or a person. online cialis soft Diagnosis: Performance anxiety is the main cause leading young men to check out cheap generic viagra with their general practitioner if they achieve a normal sustained erection. This happens because the man either ejaculates early or viagra sale is not able to maintain the erect posture as required by ideally one hour preceding sexual contact. The thing about ED is it’s treatable with medicines like levitra on line online. Again, I think that is where we are. I am not advocating that we each go out and start killing off the evil bastards. I’m just saying that I think this is why we are all so frustrated. Our hands are tied. We have morals, and while they may be different for each of us, I know that mine tell me I can’t kill unless I (or my family or an innocent) am in immediate danger. I guess that this thought ties into AP’s question about Duty and Self-Preservation. If you know that a gang with a history will be coming for you and your family/neighbors, it’s a different story than where we are now. We each know that the government has no respect for us and our God-given rights, but they haven’t come to my door and told me to hand over my guns (yet?). And while their actions lean in that direction, we don’t know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what their intentions are.

But what do we do right now? Before they knock on our doors? I attend rallies, I vote (however useless that may be, it keeps my conscience clean), I Open Carry, I stand up to “officers” and “officials” as much as I am currently comfortable doing (hey, I have a 4-month old son at home to think about too), I break (more than) a few stupid laws every day, but what does that get us?

We are each preparing for that final straw (you are preparing, right?), but we are getting restless. Well, I can’t speak for everyone else, but I know I am. This waiting is killing me. I have no idea what the future holds for my children (I have an 8 year old step-daughter too), I would like to believe that they can have the same, or more, Freedom than I did/do, but that’s not what I see coming. I don’t like what I see, and the stress of waiting is making me old.

All I can do is tell myself not to rush it, to enjoy what I have while it lasts, because for better or worse, America will not be the same forever, and… prepare,

And don’t forget the rope.
