As I said before.. I don't see my comments as being radical.. comments are not radical, actions are. Also, I will only take up arms against the government in defense of the Republic or my own individual rights.. this is my right and duty, therefore it cannot be labeled as radical or extremist.

When I joined the military, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies. period. By that oath I could have taken up arms a loooooong time ago.

How many "patriots" do you think it will take... and with such a dispersion in a vast country, how would you coordinate city / state / nationwide?

I don't think there's nearly enough who would join up or revolt. A few riot's perhaps, but they close the area's down on a city / state basis, and then you're dealing with the lies... what happens if the MSM reports rioting caused by an infection outbreak ... no bleeding hearts in other states, it's now a containment issue. True, or not a 'patriotic' military receive orders to quarantine and 'control', I'm willing to bet you'd shoot down anyone trying to escape and spread the fictitious disease, regardless of how you wear your flag.

OK that's a little too like all the zombie movies of late. the point is can enough rise up before the quell and the squash? Not likely.


How many people would join up? Well, in the Militia boom of the mid 90's you seen upward of 1million Militia members after the Brady Bill was passed by Clinton. That was nothing compared to what this country is going though in this day and time. Let the economy slip a little further.. the taxes rise and the jobs fall.. then try to start taking away weapons that no longer have anything to lose. I believe you will be surprised.

I'm not asking anyone to join a movement, take up arms against the government.. I'm not even asking anyone to vote here. I'm just stating- for the record- I will die free before I live captive. Hands down.

This country is great, people can do as the choose, BUT, no one, government or not, can take away the rights that would be mine weather or not we had the Constitution that stated it.

I actually think it would be the Feds that would be our only enemy. I believe that the cops when it comes down to will protect and serve the people, for once, like they were sworn too.

Please take a gander at the following link to read a part of Henry David Thoreau's highly influential essay, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.

Go to a library and check out, or better yet, consider purchasing Walden and Civil Disobedience through Amazon (link provided), E-bay, Barnes & Noble, etc...

People in America are complacent. Worse yet, this division still exists in an America that has grown to expect some kind of government to provide them with something that could actually be better provided by people who recognize that they are already free. If you are an American, I hate to remind you that the young man in this video has nailed it when he reminds us that the individuals we vote for work for us... not the other way around.

Also, in my humble opinion, this following video is far more chilling. I apologize if it has been posted on ATS before:

Let me ask all you "patriots" something - what are you fighting against here?

All you "patriots" talk about defending the Constitution - yet you know nothing about the Constitution.

All you "patriots" talk about government oppression - I have yet to see any oppression.

All you "patriots" speak as if the president has already committed some unspeakable atrocity, one that eclipses that of the worst atrocities committed by previous presidents - what is that crime? You talk about the Constitution, freedom, and rights, yet you stop at nothing to accuse others of crimes you cannot even properly identify.

On that last point, where you "patriots" these last eight years? Why wasn't this movement flourishing then as much as it is now? Could it be due to personal political (and perhaps, racial) bias?

The way I see it, this is all part of a trend. We saw this when Clinton got into office and these so-called "patriots" murdered and injured hundreds of Americans during the 1990s. This is a minority movement of children who don't understand what it means to be a nation and wail and gnash their teeth when things do not go their way.

I've seen so much of this anti-government diatribe, but there is absolutely no substance behind it. You all are railing against a phantom, an illusionary threat that doesn't exist. Can you spell "conspiracy theorist?"

EDIT: I echo the fears of those who speak of this resurgent far-right movement. I would not put it ast this movement to wage the sort of violence we saw the last time an "anti-American" president was in office.
