From Francis Porretto’s latest post:
‘A long time ago back at Eternity Road, in connection with the “McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act,” I wrote:
In his fine 1967 book The American Tradition, Dr. Clarence Carson noted that liberal opinion about freedom had settled on a rather stunted view: that free speech plus a voting mechanism provided all the freedom the nation could ever require. Of course, that view leaves everything else to be legislated, regulated, and taxed to the hilt — an electorally ratified totalitarianism in which everything not compulsory is forbidden — but that’s all right because we’re still free to complain about it.
….It’s all out in the open now, Gentle Reader. The forces of totalitarianism are advancing swiftly. The Democrats are the mobile army in the field; with a few honorable exceptions, the Republicans provide the mere appearance of an opposition. The two groups share a single agenda: more power for each and for all…’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Life Liberty PROPERTY–original words- wish we still had Property as part of the standing three–now the govt practically owns our property-via taxes and other govt -“for the good of the many” – laws–
I posted the link to the video of the Marine calling mc cain a traitor – Porretto mentioned that confrontation in his post–

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” —Patrick Henry March 1775
I feel sad that so many American patriots have defeatist attitudes like poor Francis!
I think in his case it’s mostly because of his age and poor health condition.
Also, people in general tend to look on the dark side of any situation.
Yes, these are dangerous times. Yes, our country is presently ruled by traitors, Progressive Communists and their lackeys. Yes, they plan a Soviet America and dream of making all citizens slaves in an Orwellian nightmare.
However, OUR PROGRESSIVE ENEMIES ARE STUPID AND INCOMPETENT
I mean they can’t even get their precious Obamacare website up after three years and one billion dollars
So how the hell are they takeover a country of 3.5 million square miles that has a gun behind every tree manned by over 150 million patriots
I think most of us on this website are in agreement that the issue between the patriots and Progressive traitors is about as wide and deep as the Grand Canyon, and short of a shooting war, no means are available to settle the dispute.
Anyhow, how do you compromise freedom and slavery
IMPOSSIBLE
So the issue can only be settled by force of arms in a revolutionary war.
This shooting war has not yet begun.
But it will within the next three years.
A Second American Revolution is INEVITABLE

Patriots have guns – but the commies have nukes.
Do you really think Osama bin Kenya or Billary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren wouldn’t reduce the heartland of “Real America” to glowing radioactive rubble in order to defend communism in the USA?
Quite so, Carol. Without property rights, the rest are pretty much meaningless.
Excellent article.
It is clear we cannot defeat the left/ Democrats with the current bunch of Republicans as our vanguard. Their removal has to be the first strategic priority.
It’s also clear the communist left (Democrats) and socialist left (RINOs) can never be defeated at the ballot box – even though their entire legislative programme is prima facie unconstitutional.
Andrew Berwick says:

This was the plot to Jericho (2006 to 2008) a television mini-series where traitors in the American government destroy 25 major USA cities with nuclear bombs- and plunge the country into anarchy, starvation and civil war.
The series was suddenly cancelled, but in the last episode where the country had been divided into three smaller nations with the “Republic of Texas” as the big kid on the block, and it wasn’t looking good for the D.C. traitors who started the war, as the rebels were on their dirty little game.
Like I said before, if you’re stupid enough to start a forest fire, a wind change will blow it back in your face.
If you’re interested Jericho is available on Netflix.
‘Valerie Jarrett´s Daughter and Son-in-law work for company that receives $653 Million for Obamacare’
Pure coincidence.
