You start, and I'll follow. Everyone has a fighting spirit within them, everyone wants to experience true freedom that our forefathers did.

However, as someone mentioned before, we are divided and conquered. Broken up like the compounds of gasoline, and scattered all over the tank. What we need is someone to put us together and light the spark, and it will cause a wildfire of human will that can't be extinguished by the water of our overbearing government.

I wait, and prepare until that day. I am a coward in my own sense, I won't lead the attack, or the initial fire, but once it starts, I will be the steady ember that keeps that fire hot.

That's my personal take on any revolution be it violent or non violent.

Your assumptions are correct, we have turned fearful. We're hardly
the country we once were. It's not the fault of the citizenry, the media
has taken every single method of instilling fear in us and have
apparently succeeded.

Not to overgeneralize, many have awoken to this and now stand
on both feet. I think we are waiting for leaders, the people with
the charisma and courage to lead.

I can't say which I am, I'm still waiting for things to congeal a bit
until I stick my neck out but I do have my inclinations

Like in the movie Network, we do need to get mad as hell. Once we
are mad we need to do something more with it than sit and stew as
that is self destructive. They kind of have us screwed in more than
one way. Even those who are aware have issues that are imposed
on them by the PTB even though they feel they are in control of
their lives.

Courage is quiet, patient and kind. We will know when
the time is right and like snowflakes on the mountainside, when
enough flakes move it will become an avalanche. Each snowflake
feels no power of itself but when working in unison it's a whole
different game. Strength & vigilance.

I remember combat.

We didn't thump our chests and talk with arrogance.
We stayed silent until the enemy was engaged.

We didn't carry bright colors and waving flags. We dressed to match the terrain and conceal our whereabouts from the enemy.

We never stood definatly in the open to be easily killed. We ran ducked dodged and even crawled.

We never lay out on the empty ground in the face of the enemy. We dug foxholes and built bunkers.

We never walked out on a patrol without water. We never went into the field without food.

We never expected an empty rifle to kill the enemy. That is why we carried ammo.

When we were attacked, we killed the one leading the charge first. This wasn't because he was the bravest or the biggest threat, it was because he was the one that the rest of the enemy could see.

Everyone behind him saw him die and his only contribution was to help instill fear into his comrades.

The OPs sentiments are noble and his words are brave. He derides all who do not think as he thinks. He looks with disdain at those who would prepare with concealment, water, food, ammunition and shelter.

He might be right. He might be wrong.

I hope we never have to find out.

But, if we do find out and the OP is sincere...


Go ahead buddy, lead that charge.

I completely respect everything you've just said. I agree with it. I'm not talking about fighting in someone else's country, I'm talking about standing your ground in your own home!

You did NOT combat your enemy, by sitting around huddled with your food and water, waiting for the enemy to entrench himself in your backyard did you?

Again, too many people misunderstand my point. I'm not talking about leading a fight against the enemy. I'm talking about living your life as you deserve to live it. I'm talking about not walking around with rifles and guns, waiting to shoot your fellow man because you're afraid. I'm talking about the concept behind fear and cowardice. You're talking about military doctrine.

I'm talking about what is gained by a nation of people who look out for themselves and hide away while the Government has free reign over their lives.

I'm not talking about leading a battle into the streets of D.C.

Do you think they would dare fire tear gas at you? Would they rush you with their batons? No, they would politely ask you what it is that you wanted - and they would do their damn best to make sure they didn't piss anybody off.
