Who have we put in office that will carry that banner forward?
But I will, with forethought, leave out the word "peacefully".
While I agree that the 2010 election cycle might be our "last chance to save her". The thought of armed revolution is nation-ending mistake I choose not to threaten to participate in at this time.
Honestly, if ever on my lifetime.
It gives the good guys the appearance of the "Radical Right".
My mouth to God's ears, we saw the pendulum begin to swing back in the elections across our nation 2 weeks ago.
Citizens at the ballot box, and patriots gathering in unbelievable masses is the only answer.
Armed revolution should never & can never be viewed as the solution to our current crisis.
The will of the people, the focus and determination of right-minded leaders, and the grace and blessings of the God of our founders, who has blessed us since our conception, is the only way to turn all this around, and rescue our ship of state from the precipice we all seem to agree we're headed towards at break-neck speed..
We've grown to where we are as a united nation because the system works. We've certainly made mistakes, and turned wrong corners as a nation. Granted our current situation is one of the biggest "wrong turns" in our history as a capitalist republic, but to talk of more than allowing the cycle to come back around to the constitutional vision of those that constructed this nation is not a wagon I choose to to board.
Our task, as devoted and dedicated patriots, as thinkers in the mindset of those that have come before us, is to solve our crisis in the way they would request & require of us.
The blood for our freedom has already been shed. The sweat of our brow, and the focused determination of our spirit is now what's required.
A suggestion that the resolution might need be by other than peaceful means is based solely in anger, and not logic or patriotism. When we stop talking, thinking & negotiating, we've ALL lost.
