I am probably wasting my time trying to talk sense to people who think they know more than other people.
Anyway:
First, not everyone has the same definition of the word "tyranny." Some
conservatives view Obamacare as tyrannical while many liberals view it
as not going far enough in terms of nationalized health care.
Furthermore, a law or tax viewed as despotic by some citizens might also
be regarded as a necessity by the government. In the late 1700s, some
Americans viewed the Founders in the same manner that many of us view
Bush or Obama. Whether it was anger of taxes in the Whiskey Rebellion,
or unfair treatment of veterans in Shay's Rebellion, armed Americans
have never been able to overthrow their government, even in the early
years of the country.
Simple fact: the Founders might have given citizens the right to bear arms, they
viewed any rebellion to their authority as a mortal threat to the
republic. Also, as Richard Brookhiser, the historian and senior editor at the National Review, states, it's the responsibility of
citizens to vote or debate, not engage in violence in order to change
legislation.
The real lesson here is that any illusion that owning one gun, or one hundred guns, would frighten or
alter the way government behaves is not only unrealistic, but something
George Washington would find unacceptable. The view propagated by the
NRA that gun ownership keeps the federal government "in check" is not
only historically inaccurate, but also contrary to the actions of our
Founding Fathers.
One thing that makes the US great is Article III, Section iii of the US Constitution which says:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
The Constitution also says:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
Which means anything like founding father quotes and the Declaration of Independence (and other historical documents) ARE NOT legally binding.
So, you assholes need to live by the document you claim to believe in or get a brain.
The Second Amendment does not explicitly repeal Article III, Section iii no matter how much your diseased minds might want it to, which means that you have to live by consitutional process, or work to change it through the system as provided in the constitution.
And if you took an oath to defend the nation or enforce the laws: guess what?
You have to do that job whether you agree with the law or nor.
If you are given a lawful order you must obey it, and you are not the final arbiter of what a lawful order is since I doubt you have the intelligence to know what the law is if you belong to an organisation as fucked up as the oath breakers.
So, before you start doing silly shit--you might want to get a handle on what exactly the Constitution says and how it works.
Although, that is probably too late for you and you are already doing some seriously fucked up shit.
Yes, I'm talking about that 10-30 Million turn out for Operation American Spring, which probably had more people watching it than attending it. And only a few thousand watching it.
And probably most of the people watching it were "libtards" who wanted to laugh at the feebleminded doing what the feebleminded do.
Sorry, but political correctness will never win out over human nature and people love to make fun of feebs--especially if the feebs are making a show of themselves.
I think most of the comments were coming from the "libtard" contingent as well.
I didn't make any comments at the live feeds, but I do have to say that the 97% don't have too much to fear from the III% if this is any indication of their efficacy or intelligence.
In fact, we don't need for the guvment to take you out as you are doing a wonderful job of it yourselves.
Even the Washington Times had this admission from the people who generated this fuck up:
“We were getting over two inches of rain in hour in parts of Virginia this morning,” Mr. Milton
said. “Now it’s a nice sunny day. But this is a very poor turnout. It
ain’t no millions. And it ain’t looking like there’s going to be
millions. Hundreds is more like it.”
Something about not being able to run a piss up in a brewery comes to mind as I watched the sideways footage at the Washington Monument. On the site where I was making comments with other "libtards" as we watched some real "tards" who were trying to mainstream, another commenter pointed out:
Definition of go sideways go sideways, verb, to become worse.
In fact, if anything, we are watching your movement self-destruct.
Which, if we are grateful for anything you do--it will be that your movement collapses on its own from your being fuckwits.
Thank you for being yourselves.
Anyway, I'm sure that "the Mainstream Media" will mention you: Rachel Maddow is always up for a laugh at your expense.
There is this description of the Syrian Army's attack:
“In every single second you can hear the sound of mortars and rockets and air
strikes,” said an activist calling himself Abu Rami speaking from Khalidiya.
“The regime is so close you hear the sound of them launching the missile,
and then you hear them land.”
The Syrian rebels were armed, but seriously outgunned by a force which had an objective of crushing the rebellion:
Last week one rebel fighter said the outlook was so bleak that he and his
colleagues went to battle in suicide belts, to detonate should they be
captured.
“If we are captured we use it when we are crowded among the soldiers,” said
Adnan, 27.
His voice tired and his tone hopeless, Mohammed, the activist who had just
managed to flee, said: “Most of my friends have died fighting in Khalidiya
these last years. Now I have no news about the ones that are left.”
A truly tyrannical regime has no qualms about wiping out any rebellion, no matter how much force it takes or what kind of force is needed.
The problem is that you are fighting a civil war--not a foreign invader. You will be the person starting the war, not the government. Additionally, you will be trying to persuade people to join your side after you have made efforts to destabilise society.
Look a the reactions to Oklahoma City and Boston to get an idea of what you will be facing: more Boston than Oklahoma City.
And don't think your opponent isn't more than ready for you.
So, don't say "molon labe" if you can't deal with the reality of that scenario.
Of course, you all know way more than I do about this. I can see that from your comments.{1}
Since Democomie mentioned Matewan:
For some reason, US Citizens are more than willing to see their history being plowed over. In the case of Blair Mountain, not only will a historic site be destroyed, so will an entire mountain. Obviously, Blair Mountain is a mountain and its located in West Virginia. More importantly, Blair Mountain was the site of the largest Civil rebellion since the Civil War when Miners and the Mine owners clashed in actual armed battle. Between 10,000 and 15,000 coal miners confronted an army of police and strikebreakers backed by coal operators for five days in late August and early September 1921 The Battle ended only after approximately one million rounds were fired and the US Army intervened by presidential order.
The current "battle" is between Coal interests and those who would preserve this area.
The Battle of Blair Mountain site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 2009. Coal interests contested the historic designation of the Blair Mountain site and the site was delisted. Once again, the Big Coal interests demonstrate that they don't care about the public.
In the comment letter submitted by battlefield archeologist Dr. Harvard Ayers dealt with the records of ownership of battlefield properties and included a legal opinion on title holders by John Kennedy Bailey, real estate attorney of Charleston. After extensive review of the tax, deed, and death records at the Logan County, West Virginia, courthouse, Ayers and Bailey concluded that five of the objectors of record submitted by Mr. Reid-Smith were not legitimate owners. Two were dead, two were Life Estates, and one had sold their property. Of the 10 of 57 properties that he researched in depth, he also discovered 13 additional owners not found by the cursory search of the West Virginia Attorney General’s office. The upshot of this research was that the count shifted to 25 objectors and 37 non-objectors, which would overturn any attempt to de-list the battlesite.
A petition from a long list of some of the nation's most prominent scholars, historians and archaeologists--including the president of the Society for Historical Archaeology, the former president of the American Historical Society, officers of the Appalachian Studies Association--made a direct appeal to WV Gov. Joe Manchin:
"The Blair Mountain Battlefield is a unique historic and cultural treasure that deserves recognition and protection... No doubt much remains to be discovered, and scholars must be able to continue to study this important chapter in American history..We are concerned that the recent attempt to delist Blair Mountain from the National Register may be a first step toward strip-mining the mountain for coal production, which will destroy the historic site. The National Park Service found that the battlefield is both significant and intact, and we believe it must be preserved for future generations."
"The UMWA has always believed the Blair Mountain battle site should be preserved, and I began publicly calling for it back in the 1980's. We believe a monument should be erected at the site explaining what happened there, and that the road running through the site should be renamed Blizzard Highway, in honor of Bill Blizzard, the miners' leader at Blair Mountain. We support preserving the land immediately around the battle site, because we believe it's important for future generations to stand on that ground, and understand the importance of what happened there. This is also a personal issue for me and thousands of others from coal mining families who have relatives and ancestors who fought at Blair Mountain. What they did is a source of pride and inspiration to our families, and helps give us the strength to carry on their fight for justice. We will never forget it, nor should America."
Before the ink was dry on the National Registry, lawyers representing three out-of-state coal companies, including Massey Energy, somehow managed to round up new "objectors" to the Registry status, and asked the WV Division of Culture and History to issue a recount of the objectors vs. non-objectors. According to their own company report, "Jackson Kelly's lawyers aren't afraid to get their hands dirty..." For those not in the know, Massey Energy Co.'s sprawling Upper Big Branch mine was the location where an underground explosion blamed on methane gas killed 25 coal miners in the worst U.S. mining disaster in more than two decades.
Anyway, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Class War is alive and kicking in the US, but the American public can be easily distracted with wedge issues. The Working class can be deluded into believing they are "middle class" and made to believe that their interests lie with the rich and powerful. It's a shame that the struggles of the workers for their rights have not only been forgotten, but the worker's rights have been successfully rolled back.
Blair Mountain should be preserved for both its historic significance and its being the last vestige of scenic beauty. The De-listing of the Blair Mountain Battlefield must be reversed!
Please write a letter asking that the Blair Mountain Battlefield site be relisted on the Historic Register using the model from the Friends of Blair Mountain Site and spread the word to your friends that they should ask that this site is relisted.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
