Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: To the Keyboard Warriors and the Facebook Commandos of Washington State As patriots, we all make decisions every day about the fight for liberty. Is this battle worth fighting? Is this rally worth going to? Should I stay home and just call legislators? Is it all hopeless anyway? These are decisions that no one can make for us. The moments that we choose to stand are ours and ours alone. Certainly in any conflict there are a hundred jobs that need doing, and people as a rule are diverse enough in personality and character that there is a place for anyone who wants to be there. In the liberty movement and the current fight for our freedoms, this is also true. There are those who work to influence the legislators, calling and writing and campaigning. There are those who step forward to run for office, allowing their private lives to become public fodder in the hopes that they can work to effect change from within. There are those who spend their time on social media, debating and educating and attempting to influence those who are further behind in their journey. All of these jobs are important. All of these jobs are necessary. The loud networkers and group leaders and event planners and forum admins have a place, and what they do matters. I do not fault them for not standing next to me on the line; on the contrary, we need those people who call and write and keep the pressure on our elected officials. We need the people who network and man the internet radio stations and write the blog articles. The problem is that a good number of them do fault us, for standing. For showing up in person and staring down those who would enslave us. For being uncompromising and refusing to back down. For being willing to sit silently in a steel cage, facing indefinite detention while being treated like the enemy. There are many who, in the last few months, have denigrated those of us who are standing in person and armed. They have called us names, blocked us from their pages and groups, written articles about their belief that we are all stupid and uneducated attention whores, and even insinuated that we are federal agents attempting to rile up the people for the purposes of getting the ‘real’ patriots arrested. I have read literally thousands of articles and comments and forum posts written by people who claim the title of patriot and yet sound more like the people we are standing against. Go home, they say. Shut up. Stop making us look bad. Stop being so loud. You’re gonna get us all in trouble with Daddy. That’s what all of that boils down to. We are afraid, and we wish you’d stop rocking the boat. What is even more pathetic is that often these are the same people who will loudly proclaim that if the government showed up at their front door, by God, then they’d fight. You just wait…they will be epic warriors, who will rise to save the Republic. You’ll see. I say that if you cannot be faithful now, then you will not be faithful later. As an American born of blood and gunpowder, it shames me to know that so many of my countrymen are so utterly worthless to the cause of liberty. As someone who believes so strongly in this cause that it literally forms the core of my heart, it breaks me to know that so many are willing to go about their days accepting restriction after restriction, accepting the thousand little deaths that our liberty dies every day, not even seeing the death and destruction that is at the end of this road—the same road that people have died to prevent us ever being on in the first place. As a woman, it absolutely disgusts me that so many grown men in this country have so little in the way of balls. Does it not shame you at all that there are women standing the line with their children while you can’t even muster the courage to show up? Does it not make you feel small to sit in your group chats and pontificate about us while you’re sitting in the rear with the gear? When you’re sitting at your lunch dates with the FBI “opening dialogue,” does it never occur to you the lives that are at stake, and the danger your mouth could be putting them in? Here’s a news flash: It should. While you so-called patriots in Washington State sit on Facebook and run your mouths, patriots in Tennessee are making the trip this week to stand with us. Patriots in Alabama who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses will be here. Patriots on the East Coast are working day and night to help spread the word. Patriots in Montana and Arizona and Idaho and several other states across this country are literally standing by to drop what they are doing, to leave their families and jobs and lives to come here and help defend our state, our land, our rights. They will come to defend our lives with their own, if necessary. An entire nation of patriots stand ready to rise up and help us, and yet you still cower. Thankfully, there are men and women in this state who do not fit this description of gossipers and cowards. There are those who show up unfailingly every time. Their hearts are true and their loyalty unquestioned. Every time they leave their home to stand in another action, they know that this could be the time it goes horribly wrong. Every time they stand, they have that fleeting decision to make. They watched the video of a fellow patriot arrested. They heard the story of his detention, put in a steel cage like an animal. Denied the rights that so many have died to secure and protect. They understand that in four days, that could be them. They will still come. They will stand, because to them liberty is worth more than popularity, more than their public image. More than life. These people are my brothers and sisters and I am humbled to stand next to them. They are faithful now, and I know they will be faithful to the end. So for those of you who spend your time whining in your forums and your Facebook groups about those of us who have literally pledged our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to ensure that you have the right tomorrow, next month, and for all your life to sit at your keyboard and do nothing except talk trash about us, I have one thing to say. You’re welcome. “…the hour is fast approaching, on which the Honor and Success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding Country depend. Remember officers and Soldiers, that you are Freemen, fighting for the blessings of Liberty–that slavery will be your portion, and that of your posterity, if you do not acquit yourselves like men…” – George Washington, General Orders to the troops, August 1776 Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Bump this!
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
That's a great article. Thanks for posting it.
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends. Paul Craig Roberts "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." Frederic Bastiat
