Where to start and where to end on this one? For a long time the “elected” government has done their fairy dance around the constitutional rights of “We The People” by inventing their own rights. They have used it as grade school sissy fights during elections, to win favor of a class of people during elections... see the theme?

They pander to the newest generation of voters simply to turn the vote in their favor. And a lot of these young voters fall victims to their words.

Granted the constitution is a long read, along with the bill of rights.. in fact most couldn’t fully paraphrase anything but the second amendment. But they are the most important rule sets of this country. They are why this country exists.

When will it finally be the time that constitution believers start believing elections will not fix this. We must become our forefathers, or become the Jews held in concentration camps. Because before long that’s precisely what we will have. And by then it’ll be too late to fight back!

There is SOOO much to unpack in this considering the amount of special attention being given to such a SMALL portion of the population. ESPECIALLY the "transgender" loons. The people with gender dysphoria make up just 0.6% of the ENTIRE US population. That is 1.4 million people total. These are the people that CLAIM to be the gender OTHER than what they were born. There is no actual medical diagnosis for many of them that have this mental illness.

But, the MAIN thing that really stuck in my craw is the following passage:

"Definitional issues aside, any religious person who believes homosexuality is sin, and that marriage is a union of a man and a woman, and refuses to perform or participate in any way in a ceremony celebrating such an event, face legal challenges."

The truly insane part of THAT is the religious person never said the homosexual couple COULDN'T get married. They just refused to perform the ceremony themselves. Same with the owner of the cake shoppe. He never said they couldn't buy a cake like what they want. He just said that HE wasn't going to make it. Nobody's "RIGHTS" were denied EXCEPT the people holding to their religious convictions.

I saw a video of one of these extreme leftists that DEMANDED we respect them and said that we WILL. They don't seem to understand that we don't care if they want to pretend to be something they are not. Where they cross the line is trying to FORCE ME to participate in their delusional thinking or thinking they can push their ideas onto KIDS and not face consequences.

My mom always said I could act any way I wanted IF I was willing to live with the consequences. These fools don't seem to believe there should be any negative reaction to them forcing their way of life onto others.

As for the government's part in all of this.... they WILL be facing the consequences of their actions soon enough. If the voting booth doesn't do the trick then I have a feeling there are some Patriots that ARE ready to stand up and put an END to the abuses of power by our current elected reps. I believe things are going to get worse before they get better, but that means they ARE going to get better, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

The problem is, yes there are some, but even less than the revolutionary war. NYS just increased NYC businesses employment tax to nearly double. Instead of an old fashioned tea party they just leave.. the new concealed permit regulations are just getting more and more expensive while the same drug dealing repeated felons keep getting caught with illegal firearms, the list just in this state is horrendous. Yet the citizens move away, bringing their way of life that causes this elsewhere to infiltrate the next state.

When you try and call people to action “my sons got baseball practice” “my daughter has dance recital” always some excuse not to wash these elected officials out.

J6 showed Americans what’s awaiting any resistance, so there hasn’t been a J6 issue since. People say they’ll fight but so far they haven’t. So when push comes to shove will they do the step after fighting and possibly lay down their life in defense of liberty?

This reminds me of the story of the traveling salesman walking up to an old country house.

As he was walking up there was an old hound dog bellowing over and over again. The salesman asks the farmer sitting on the porch why the poor old dog is carrying on so. The farmer replied, "He's sittin' on a nail.".

When asked why the old hound doesn't move to releave the pain the farmer says, "Don't hurt bad enough."

We as a society are that old hound. We are moaning and bellowing but we are not yet in enough pain to actually DO anything about it.

One other thing I believe I must say is that the J6 incident, in my opinion, was NOT an insurrection. Had it been we would be having an entirely different conversation right now. The dems want to CALL it an insurrection to garner sympathy. "Those big evil MEGA-MAGAs were trying to hurt us." HOPEFULLY, we here understand that what happened on that particular January 6th was a protest. Some elements DID get out of hand. And as we are finding out, those elements were lead by government agents acting on behalf of the democrats, trying to goad people into doing things they wouldn't ordinarily do.

J6 was nothing more than that old hound dog bellowing VERY loudly but STILL not moving.

It was a mild protest at that! Hell Martin Luther King Jr had more violent speeches than J6 “insurrection”

As for the hound and the nail. We have been hurting bad enough, America is lazy. We know discussions are made to have one world order and Biden is aligned with it.

Now we’re headed into another 2020 election. Nothing has been changed with voting laws, so we’ll have the same thing. Which means another 4 years. While our “victories” still aren’t doing a dang thing. These porch nails are becoming stakes with heads.

There are some of us that HAVE in fact been hurting bad enough and are MORE than ready to MAKE something happen. Sadly the numbers that are willing to truly get their hands dirty are fewer than what is needed to go the route of our founders.

There are some that HAVE seen combat already in Iran or Afghanistan, but there are many of them that are no longer able to act in a combat capacity. And a large part of the population that is in the sought after fighting age group now are afraid of their own shadows and whimper if they get a hangnail. They are not just lazy they are also SOFT to an extreme.

I wish I was 30 years younger and didn't have all the physical issues that I have today. I would join up with a militia group in a heartbeat. Of course, I am tied in with a group of friends locally that are close-knit and are ready and able to defend our local area. And to help each other out with supply issues as the may come up.

I would greatly enjoy being able to exercise my 2nd Amendment right for the INTENDED purpose but that may be a pipe dream at this point. I just don't know if there is enough support, OR the leadership to actually make it happen in today's environment.

Exactly what I’m saying just better worded. The people that will not hesitate to seriously take arms physically wouldn’t have a chance. Then there’s the next group that will when it comes to it and it’s at the door but they have a life and can’t do this or that because they’re busy with everyday life. Then we have the next set who a small portion are insane enough to try with a small force even though they know chances of survival are 0.01 then we have the newest one. “I’m too high to work man” or cry about a chore because they spent 7 hours in school already”
