Standing Our Ground

Tea Party SC Standing Our Ground

It’s time for a reality check. The election is over; and according to the results, the majority of the people residing in this country voted to abolish our Republican form of government and trash the Constitution. They voted for virtually unlimited government, redistribution of wealth through higher taxes, limits on individual liberties, and out of control spending and debt. They voted to end the free market economic system and place an unmanageable burden on their own children and grandchildren so they can collect their free stuff now.

The leftists in this country now feel that they are in a position to do what they have wanted to do for decades: impose their elitist views on the population and take control of how we live, what we do, what we think, and what God we can worship. They are confident that they can succeed in destroying our country and our way of life for good because they have a President in the White house who is committed to establishing himself as a dictator. They also control the schools, the universities, the mainstream media, many of the courts, the United States Senate, and most of the largest cities in the country.

The left believes that this is their moment in history when they impose their will on the American people, the time when we all submit to their will and become compliant subjects who will acknowledge their intellectual superiority and march in lockstep to the beat of their corrupt drummers. They truly believe this, and yet they are very frightened. They are frightened of a document called the Constitution, most specifically of the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment.

The elitists like Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and their lackeys in academia, the news media, and Hollywood are cowards. They are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want; but they are not willing to pick up a weapon and fight for what they profess to believe. They will rely on others to do that.

Yet, they know that in order to be successful, they must take an important step and disarm the American people. They must abolish the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution; and they must do it now. The effort has already begun, and it is an all-out assault. Bills are being introduced in the House and Senate to ban so-called assault weapons, certain magazines, various types of ammunition, and certain handguns. This is all supposed to be an effort to protect our children from another Sandy Hook tragedy.

That is where the reality check comes in. The left has always been willing to exploit tragedy to get its way. All of this proposed legislation is just window dressing to lay the ground work for the ultimate goal of outlawing the private ownership of all firearms in the United States. Once that is accomplished, the government will move to confiscate all of those in private hands.

That is why the Obama administration is purchasing millions of rounds of ammunition for federal bureaucracies, and FEMA and DHS are training thousands of people to engage in urban warfare. Not urban warfare against foreign or domestic terrorists, but against American citizens who attempt to exercise the 2nd Amendment rights that have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. In fact, the left is already calling for the people who believe in gun rights to be declared terrorists and arrested not only for supporting the 2nd Amendment, but also for exercising our 1st Amendment rights.

This is not an obscure conspiracy theory, but is happening now. It is for real. I have people telling me that it will never happen because these bills will not pass Congress. I agree that with an all-out effort, we can defeat the legislation in the House of Representatives; but Obama and the left plan to simply bypass Congress and impose gun control by Executive order and by signing the UN Small Arms treaty.

Therefore, our most critical battles may be in the Courts. For over 38 years, I have defended the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution both in and out of the courtrooms. As the new Executive Director of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), I will make sure that the foundation is in the forefront of the fight.

This is not just a battle that we must win; this is the war that will decide the fate of our nation. We cannot compromise, and we cannot surrender. The 2nd Amendment was placed in the Constitution to ensure that the American people would be able to defend themselves against any future government that sought to become a tyranny. That is what is happening now, and we must not give up our weapons.

A friend and fellow veteran just forwarded a quote by the great Russian writer and patriot Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, who said this about the lack of resistance to the communist takeover of his country:

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else at hand?…

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If……if……We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more—-we had no awareness of the real situation…….We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Enough said. Fight back now!

  1. Feinstein, Schumer, Obama, Holder, Bloomberg, and their whole gang of progressive/Marxist/socialists are tyrant wannabes. To them, anyone who does, or might, oppose their control over every aspect of our lives, is “a criminal” because they said so.

    To quote a few of their heroes, with explanatory comments in ( ):

    “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” – Mao
    (They revere Mao and the way he ruthlessly grabbed power in China. The fact that he murdered about 100 million Chinese to do it is, to them, a “feature,” not a “bug.”)

    “If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. … The only real power comes out of a long rifle. … Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. … We don’t let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns? … The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.” — Joseph Stalin

    “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the To quote a few of their heroes, with explanatory comments in ( ):

    “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty.” — Adolf Hitler
    (These psychopathic sociopaths in our government – and THEY ARE PRECISELY THAT, never make the mistake of doubting it – believe that they are anointed to be our rulers and that we are the equivalent of Hitler’s “subject races.”)

    THOSE are the reasons why, and the sort of people who want to, disarm us.

    These same people through DHS and other alphabet agencies have recently purchased over 1.8 BILLION rounds of ammo – enough to shoot every man, woman, and child in the country more than 4 times – ammo that’s illegal for military use under international law. Considering that you and I and all of the other US taxpayers are paying for all of this ammo, it’s frighteningly reminiscent of the story of political prisoners’ families being forced to pay for the bullets used to execute them … isn’t it?

    If we allow these leftist control freaks to ignore and ultimately gut the 2nd Amendment, history will inevitably repeat itself. These “gun control” proposals have NOTHING to do with preventing crime, but EVERYTHING to do with CONTROL.

    Hitler disarmed the Jews and others, then murdered about 15 million.
    Stalin disarmed the Russians, them murdered about 40 million.
    Mao disarmed the Chinese peasants, then murdered nearly 100 million.
    The Turks disarmed the Armenians, then murdered 1.5-2 million.
    Pol Pot disarmed the Cambodians and murdered millions.
    Rwanda disarmed its ethnic groups, then murdered millions.
    The list goes on … over 170 million people murdered BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS in the 20th century – AFTER they allowed those governments disarmed them.

    They ALL thought “It can’t happen here” – until they were disarmed and it started, then it was too late. Don’t make the same mistake. Don’t EVER let your government disarm you.

    The Founders knew that government, if not constrained at every step, will continue to accumulate power and control until it becomes tyranny. That’s why they feared standing armies and insisted that the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

    “Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t let him do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.” – Aaron Zelmanm

  2. So what do we do !?!?!?!!?!

  3. If we had a legal form of voting I would say yes. And if the electoral collage was not a den of thieves the Republic would stand.

  4. When they come looking for them (our guns), it’s time to use them.

  5. The zillion $ question is “will the R’s have the stones to actually do the RIGHT thing or will they CAVE AGAIN.
    As a life long R the current bunch of clowns just ain’t doing anything but cave.

  6. We must be willing to fight for our Second Amendment right even to death. We will have to put our lives, our fortunes and reputations on the line for freedom as our Founding Fathers did. I heard that the Army has been ordered to kill any American citizen who refuses to hand over his/her guns. Well, it may be that we may need to die for freedom for our future generations. So be it. So help us God!

    • I can’t imagine the Army takin on this task to start with. And I can’t imagine a person hired by the bambam administration to do this job either. Unless he or she wants to die. I just don’t believe this will ever fly. Bambam is just tryin to scare everybody into givin up their gun’s , an it ain’t gonna happen. Just think how many gov. employees are gonna have to be hired to do this task. Just ain’t gonna happen. And he can take his exevitive orders and stick them up his ass. I don’t own a gun but I would die before givin it up to and ass hole administration like this or any other for that matter.

  7. If you do not believe in the Constitution stand aside for those that do or suffer. Those that want to alter or rid us of our rights as written are traitors and should be exiled or put behind a fence to fend for themselves in various environments throughout N. America. No rights due to being traitors since a crime against society you lose your rights, or you used to.
