Several years ago we witnessed a strange and unexpected event between a dog and a cat. A fairly good sized German Shepherd spotted a much smaller, black house cat and broke into a dead run after the cat. The cat, startled by the dog and now instantly charged with adrenalin, struck off down the street as fast as he could go, in a black blur. Now a dog chasing a cat is hardly news, but it was what the cat did that drastically altered the outcome of the chase. About a few seconds into the chase, the cat, without regard to the consequences, suddenly turned 180 degrees and planted five sharp claws on the dogs nose as the dog, trying to stop, ran into the cat. The dog turned tail and bolted up the street, yelping in pain, as he fled into the distance. The cat simply decided it had had enough and “esplained” it to the dog (bully), by punctuating his message of displeasure with the weapons with which nature had armed him. The episode brought to mind our current dilemma. The dog (bully government) has been “chasing” the cat (the American people) for the last 80 to 100 years and the “cat” has yet to turn 180 degrees and punctuate its message of displeasure on the “dog”, with the weapons with which nature and our constitution have armed us. It took over 150 years (1620 to 1775) for the colonials to grow tired of the British government and turn on them, no matter what the consequences. Their brave, courageous and some say fool hardy actions, gave birth to a unique kind of freedom, at great cost. The British were many, heavily armed, outfitted and organized. The colonials were poorly armed and disorganized ….. in reality an unruly, unregulated and untrained militia. Throughout the battles and skirmishes during the revolution, many feared that victory would never be theirs to celebrate and defeat would come with even greater injustices, intimidation and retribution on the colonials, at the hands of the King’s men. Some say providence turned the tide. Other’s say the French, who hated the British and helped the Americans because of it, snatched the King’s victory right out from under his Generals’ noses. Perhaps both are right. But like the dog chasing the cat, the difference that characterized the American Revolution was what the Americans did. They had finally had enough and “esplained” it to the British (bully), by punctuating their message of displeasure with the weapons with which nature, bravery and courage had armed them. We may rightfully ask, what, in the instance of the cat being chased by the dog, caused the cat to turn on the dog, even though the dog was five times the size of the cat? And along the same lines, what was the catalyst that caused the colonials to turn on the British, even though the colonials were much smaller in number, armament and training? We believe that the catalyst is of the same substance from which heroes are born on the battlefield and it finds its roots in two human emotions, anger and self preservation. Anger and self preservation are the motivation for a corresponding response to any threat. It was the cat, without regard to his own life, who turned on the dog. It was the colonials, without regard to their safety and security, who turned on the British because they stepped outside of the main stream, the rational and the accepted to overcome their fear. They resisted abusive authority, no matter what the cost. The cat turning on the dog was a form of individual heroism. The American revolution came in the form of collective heroism. Not a single living, two or four-legged organism (don’t know about micro organisms, plants and trees) on Earth likes to be pushed around, chased or bullied. They in fact, have an all-consuming desire to be free. In most cases, the natural reaction to bullying is anger and results in either fight or flight, depending on how nature has armed them. Our situation in America is different, however. Because of the undaunted bravery of the colonials and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, we do not have to resort to violence to “esplain” it to the bully. We need only use the tools with which nature has armed us, our intellect, high morals and values, along with the foundation of liberty embedded in our Constitution and we will reverse the destructive path we are currently taking into abject socialism and ultimately, enslavement. Today, the American people are still capable of collective heroism and the challenge to abusive authority, just as they were during the birth of our freedom some 233 years ago. We see the growing signs of that emerging heroism almost every day now. That those in government are becoming aware of this rising tide, is evident by their irrational panic to pass more controlling legislation before all Hell breaks loose. Let us emphasize that there is no other country like America and there are no people like the American people, anywhere on earth. Freedom is burned into their souls and as the cat who turned on the dog, the brave ones, the collective American heroes, will not let freedom die, no matter what it takes to preserve it. So we say to those who oppose individual liberty, the gift from our creator, we are right and you are wrong, because freedom is right and slavery is wrong. We also say to those who work to tear down America’s liberty, sovereignty and its moral and ethical values, let the games begin. In the end, we have no doubt that we shall prevail, just like we prevailed on the day that freedom was born when “….. a shot was fired, a shot heard ’round the world”. Stand steady and strong. Tyranny and corruption will be challenged on all fronts. The threshold for a peaceful American revolution is at hand.

There is NO 'peaceful' solution left, as evidenced by the last selection. Fuck'em all; let God sort them out. eheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Finally. What the hell has taken the sheeples so long? We need to move on this NOW, in fact we should have been rolling a decade or two ago. : )
Normally, the threshold is when your group, whether small or large, is fired upon. Surely, we have been fired upon. Our leaders allowed the Mossad and CIA to kill thousands on 9/11. Duh, hell yes we have been fired on but, that wasn't even the first volley. Lots of us know it goes back for many, many decades. Not only have we been fired on but, our boys are firing on innocents all over the globe and we allow it to be done for the greater glory of democracy and the American way. Well, the definition of Americanism has been distorted. Americanism is recognition that "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. So, who are we now, some new breed of creature above all that God, Family & Country stuff. Or, have we just lost our way because powerful elites have controlled our surroundings. We are literally lost slaves who are basically out of touch with our true nature. We are free will creatures that are endowed with a spirit of the creator, yet we follow the man to self destruction. So sad.
Increase in gun sales should be sending a clear message though.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! What planet is he on?

Bump that!
Ted Kennedy Is Now Eligible To Vote In Chicago.
Apparently the planet that recognizes that many people have inherent goodness and are decent, honorable folk, despite the attempts to marginalize or eliminate them completely from the culture. Pure and morally chaste? No, naturally not. But decent, honorable and good thinking? Certainly.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
great post
When my dog was much younger, we had to temporarily board him with the in-laws. They have a rather large dark gray house cat who won't stake sh-- from anyone, people or other animals and to this day takes great pleasure in taunting my in-laws' Cocker. I've said this before, that my dog is a Carolina Dog/American Dingo we found in the wild. That cat goated my dog and then took off. My dog finally caught him and the cat did that very same move; stop on a dime and greet the oncoming dog with five sharp claws. Carolina Dog's are highly intelligent and maintain that lineage of a predatory instinct. Long story short, my dog also stopped on a dime, took his paw out and smacked that cat into next week. After that, they left each other alone. To the article's point. I don't know what the tipping point is going to be or when it will come. It very well may not come in our lifetime. Like the article said, our forefathers put up with it for 150 years. Near as I can figure, the best I can do now is to live within my means and not shackle my child(ren) with debt, teach them to be good and to pursue God, teach them the lessons of our founders and my relatives who lived through times much worse than this. I am lucky enough to have listened to their wisdom.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

"Greenhouse gases do not act as a blanket around the earth and they do not keep the atmosphere warm. ... greenhouse gases emit more radiation than they absorb and this ongoing radiation loss tends to cool the atmosphere at between 1C and 2C per day, a fact known for more than 50 years. And yet we continue to get the simplistic explanation that greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere and so more greenhouse gases will warm the atmosphere more. No wonder the public is taken in!" --William Kininmonth, meteorologist , 1791
