THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION

"In times of change, the Patriot is a scarce man; brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot." Mark Twain

HAPPY BILL OF RIGHTS DAY!

Over the past couple of days the Gunny has given some examples of the early militia, and the intent of our Founding Fathers to provide the people with the means to resist a tyrannical government. The Second Amendment provides the American people with the materials required for a revolution, that much is certain, but could the Founders have foresee a time in our history when we have a radical liberal POTUS, steeped in leftist ideology, and a serial narcissist to boot, as well as a Congress and Senate staffed with radical liberals that Barry Soetoro has installed, in many cases bypassing the Constitution, the Congress, and/or the Senate? That we are also faced with RINO quislings and a SCOTUS that could not tell the Constitution from a philly cheese steak as well as a greedy and aggressive UN desperately seeking relevancy through a one-world government?

Did they foresee that a presidential "czar" one Elizabeth Warren, was actually speaking about a leftist revolution and seizing control?

Has it come to the point where we must consider this:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of 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."

Considering this lame duck Congress performing a "scorched-earth" policy, it is time for us to start asking ourselves some serious questions.

1. How far has the State to go before we rise up?
2. What should be the extent of our response?
3. Is there another avenue of approach than violence?
4. As an Oathkeeper, what is my responsibility towards Law Enforcement that sides with the oppressors?

The Gunny hopes that we NEVER have to rise up to replace our government but if certain things happen, will we allow ourselves to become slaves or fight and possibly die as free men and women? How many Americans will sit it out or more likely, join with the oppressors, who will promise them anything and everything, as they are already doing?

We must remember one thing and that is, OUR revolution was violent towards the enemy and the Tories (1777) but when it was over, we embraced peace. However, in the four other serious revolutions since then, all of them have degenerated into violent bloodshed and butchery. The French Revolution was so bad that Jefferson, who embraced it first, was revolted by it later. When the commies took over Russia in 1917, it was a slaughter. Castro and Che murdered their opponents like the Marines were landing in Havana! And in Mexico in 1910, millions were killed as a corrupt party took control of the nation. In all of them, sooner or later, a dictatorship took over. Will the Second American Revolution end such?

Currently, Hillary Clinton is the SecState and has voiced support for the UN Small Arms Treaty, which in reality, is a global gun grab and a subjugation of national sovereignty. Obama, as a radical leftist, of course supports it as well. George Soros is advising and funding this regime and all of their various groups, i.e., Media Matters, Center for American Progress, moveon.org, HuffHo, etc, and they are all hand-in-glove with the UN’s stance of a global government. In addition, this regime ALMOST has the SCOTUS in their pocket. In time, they will reduce our Constitution to, as Associate Justice Breyer writes, "a living document."

What do we do next? Are we out of options at that point? Do we rise up in righteous ire?

What do we do if an incident erupts in, say, Nowheresville, Texas, where a group of Americans refuse to disarm and a siege sets in. Remember that when the FBI put the Montana Freemen under siege, other Americans showed up armed and ready, in the FBI’s rear-area, waiting and watching. The reader will remember that this siege occurred after Janet Reno’s slaughter fest at Waco and Ruby Ridge, where the FBI shot and killed Americans for a minor felony committed by Randy Weaver. It should be noted that the Montana Freemen siege was settled peacefully. Why? Because Americans stood up to the tyranny of the Clinton Regime and that idiot Janet Reno. Was the FBI nervous? Probably. Was that a good thing? Probably.

This time however, shots would be fired on both sides, and Americans on both sides are dead. Many American citizens (80 million plus are gun owners), would grab their guns, while the government organizes a response. How far are we willing to go? Many people, especially on the Left, take about revolution but they need to remember that they/we will be shooting their fellow Americans, not a foreign enemy. Indeed, it may again be brother against brother, etc. To the Left, the ends justifies the means, just as the Ukrainians in the Holodomor or the Cambodians under Pol Pot.

If the government backs down, what do we do then? What if they don’t? Say Obama declares martial law across the land, vacates the 2012 elections because of the "crisis", and he is backed by the SCOTUS? What if half of the military deserts to our side but others don’t, so are they now the enemy? Are they honoring their enlistments/appointments or are they now the oppressors? Do we go all of the way at this point? Is the entire government the enemy? As noted above, "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, to institute new Government…" Those are OUR marching orders. That is our duty as free Americans.

But what of our fellow citizens who either oppose us or do-nothing? Remember, 33% of Americans in 1776 OPPOSED the Revolution and another 33% DID NOT GIVE A D*MN either way! How will we potential revolutionaries handle that? Former Congressman Dornan stated on 25 Jan 95, that the Second Amendment was not for hunting game but rather, "it is for hunting politicians." How do we do THAT without alienating a majority of our fellow Citizens?

Back in 2008, the Gunny noted on then Illinois senator Obama’s official website, MyObama, a group called "Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama" wrote:

"This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx’s writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat."

In other words, revolution in America brought about by the Democrats. Oddly enough, it is Van Jones, a former czar of this regime, who is preaching: "top down, bottom up, inside/out" chaos designed to bring about a leftist revolt in America, as we are seeing in Europe. We on the Right have peacefully marched on Washington DC not once but TWICE and did it peacefully. Noted that when the Leftists marched on DC, they preached violence and left the place trashed.

So what is our trigger point? When and If the Left rises up as they see their last great chance to destroy the Constitution and America as we know it slip away by 2012 (when we throw Barry into the same pile with clowns like Carter)? Is it when the left vacates our Bill of Rights and shreds the Constitution as they are already doing? (Nutsy Pelosi: "are you serious? Are you SERIOUS?")

All the Gunny can say is that we continue to fight for our Rights peacefully but prepare for the worst, should it come. LtCol Lakin stood up to be counted and it taking the heat for his refusal to deploy under an illegal president. Our Founding Fathers put EVERYTHING, including their lives, on the line during the Revolution, can we be any different? Will we roll over and allow the left to turn America into a third-world nation along the lines of France or do we fight to return America to her former greatness and exceptionalism? Are we ready to go to prison or die for our beliefs as it appears the Left is?
