Stay On Course, Patriots

I was reading some quotes today, and found myself identifying with much of what I found. Read these, and see if you can't find some common ground with them:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Taxes are a joke. Regardless of what a political candidate "promises," they will increase. More taxes are always the answer to government mismanagement. They mess up. We suffer. Taxes are reaching cataclysmic levels, with no slowdown in sight. Is a Civil War Imminent? Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn't come to that. But it might."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is a lie if we tell ourselves that the police can protect us everywhere at all times. Firearms restrictions are bad enough, but now a woman can't even carry Mace in her purse?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Go ahead, take everything I own; take my dignity. Feel good as you grow fat and rich at my expense; sucking my tax dollars and property."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The government is afraid of the guns people have because they have to have control of the people at all times. Once you take away the guns, you can do anything to the people. You give them an inch and they take a mile. I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government. The government is continually growing bigger and more powerful and the people need to prepare to defend themselves against government control."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Those who betray or subvert the Constitution are guilty of sedition and/or treason, are domestic enemies and should and will be punished accordingly.

It also stands to reason that anyone who sympathizes with the enemy or gives aid or comfort to said enemy is likewise guilty. I have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic and I will. And I will because not only did I swear to, but I believe in what it stands for in every bit of my heart, soul and being.

I know in my heart that I am right in my struggle, (person's name) I have come to peace with myself, my God and my cause. Blood will flow in the streets, (person's name). Good vs. Evil. Free Men vs. Socialist Wannabe Slaves. Pray it is not your blood, my friend."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The difference between a few people who feel much as I do, and myself, is the way some may deal or have dealt with their angst. Some people HATE the government. That HATE has been an excuse for a few people to do terrible things, and used that HATE of what some in government have done to justify some actions. There is NO justification for blowing up our buildings and murdering innocent people. If so, Bill Ayers (1960s-70s Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization) can be forgiven! But some, like Bill Ayers, will disregard the lives of innocent people, to cause destruction to buildings and people, just to get at the heart of their angst.

We need to temper our own angst with the actions some in our government are taking. Temper our actions, and pin-point our actions to correct the political paths we see are wrong. All the while, stay prepared to defend our nation against actual attack. Not against perceived attacks, or purely political attacks, but actual attacks where armed defense is warranted.

We need to be cautious of letting our angst, lead us into believing that ALL government is bad. We need government, to perform those functions that were intended. But that government needs to be in line with our founding designs, and our Constitution. Our actions need to support those who will help put us back in line with that.

Otherwise, we may start believing we should take extreme and unwarranted actions, disregarding the life and property of innocent people and officials. Stay on course friends, or some could fall into a perverted sense of duty, like that of Tim McVeigh, who's quotes are listed above. In my view, McVeigh wasn't wrong about his fears of the direction our country could go. But he was absolutely dead wrong in his perverted response to those fears, and became the domestic terrorist and murderer who all know. Let's stay focused on the political changes we need to make, and fight politically against every mis-direction those in office try to take.

Don't lose sight of who we are my American Patriot friends! Stay on course.
