Despite all that I know, God help me, I was surprised too. We are a country of cowards. That is the damndest truth and what a shame that is. Thet realization is all too clear now. Para is correct. These people are having their day.

I agree with what Parabellum just posted. I watch documentary style presentations on YouTube about the rise and fall of civilizations. There are common threads in each to the others. These threads are emerging in our civilization. Without hyperbole I think we are witnessing the fall of Rome in the United States. When Rome had decayed enough that there was nothing left of the culture worth fighting for, her neck was exposed for predators to tear. One by one the edifying principles in our culture have been discredited until now we are driven by the mob.

Yes. This.

Sadly I agree... a harbinger of the future.

So when can we begin shooting the bastards? I'm guessing the time isn't far off. We're out of ammo...Smile sort of. OK, they've cut off our supply of new stuff. All we've got left are a few assorted rounds, surely not even a gun load.

The rioters have an endless supply from the government. As long as it happens someplace else, it might even be interesting to watch. Will the cops of retirement age turn in their badges and take their retirement pay. I hear its nicer in FL than MN anyway. There is more to good laws than what the respective legislatures pass. We've deluded ourselves into accepting "fair trial" as 8 or so volunteer lawyers against one defense lawyer.

There will be periods of victories and periods of defeats. We must not give in. The tide will turn again. I am sure of that. To turn your back in defeat is a terrible tactic imho.
There is much to fight for. Even if you can not fight yourself any longer. There are those who will.
I will not dishonor the past or give up on the future. Until I take my last breath.

Yeah, sounds great. Are you familiar with the definition of insanity? It's attributed to Einstein but I don't think he said it. Nevertheless, I couldn't agree more with the quote.



How many years do you have left? How old is your spouse? How about your kids? Have you spoken with good friends lately?

You cannot fix the world. Mob rule is the order of the day and all you're going to do is end up getting trampled. Live your life. Be happy.

For those a lot older than me, isn't this something like how the WWII veterans came home, worked hard, raised families, and then 25 years later the late 60's riots and everything else happened and they were like WTF happened? We saved the world from tyranny and socialism/communism and now the kids want to join the other side?

There's nothing new under the sun.

Leftists are the same, the world over. Always have been. We conservatives believe in the rule of law, but it's not our religion. With leftists, their political beliefs are their religion. That's why they believe the end always justifies the means. They're right in their beliefs about everything. It cannot be otherwise. Those who do not accept the dogma are heretics. Once you understand this fundamental difference between us and them (err, "we and they"?), you'll be able to make sense (of a sort) out of how they behave.

Not really. My dad is a 95yo WWII navy vet (96 this year Big Grin ). Big differences are the blatant corruption in government from elected reps to 3 letter agencies to the judiciary. And the mega-corporations anti-American one world order mindset.

This serves to highlight why the country was founded as a Republic instead of a democracy. The left wants pure democracy and so long as you buy votes with “free” shit, they will always vote for their personal benefit without regard to the communal good.

Pack mentality, mob rule, democracy. All different names for the same thing.

You guys want "truth"? You might find some truth in another solar system.

Y'see, all of this is illustrative of the reasons why I've said for years in this forum that I am searching the skies for a comet. That's the only sort of "reset" which will work.

How true. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and The Cultural Revolution in China are prime examples of how this finally plays out. History has already recorded the show.

For some reason humans think taking the same road will lead to a different destination.

Yeah, it used to be that they dealt with heretics by stacking wood in the town square and burning the blasphemers at the stake.

Now days, the heretics get doxxed and cancelled. However they go about it, they will cast out the unbelievers, all the while proclaiming the absolute and unquestionable righteousness of their actions and beliefs. Above all- above even their being an utter pox on humanity- leftists are the ultimate hypocrites. All the things they feel- all the rage and hatred- they project that onto all the heretics and demons who don't accept their doctrine, and they must rid the world of we vile scum. Hypocrites. None finer.
