This exactly. I don’t think the institutional GOP RINOs will ever evolve from an amorphous blob stand for nothing organism to something remotely resembling a backbone.

Hey, don't you talk about Larry and Lindsey like that!

Great post Norton. So many good posts. Lately I pray every night for this country and for peace but its hard when you see and hear that the socialist left has gotten away with something else. I told my son today driving home from the gun show that I pray that he will continue to have all the freedom and libertys of the US though out his life time. Who said the saying "Freedom is not free". I can honestly say I'm not the brightest bulb on here but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see whats been going on. Trump has opened my eyes and althou I don't care for some of his comments I like his politics. I think Wednesday was a set up. They needed that scenario to farther bash Trumps agenda and supporters. Another, with so many other nails in the coffin for Trump. I have been trying to stay away from news networks lately especially fake news, but its every where. Anyway enough ranting. I support the Constitution. O and if they want to defund something than defund the socialist teachers union. God is in control.

Well spoken and point well taken in.

I couldn't agree more. I've actually unsubscribed from a couple of threads that are getting acrimonious with a couple of folks clearly trolling - I can't believe they are members of this community because they seem to be parroting the exact same things the leftists and progressives are.

I'll never believe for a second that this election was legit, but it is what it is, and come the 20th, we're going to be dealing with an administration that is going to be in high gear towards pushing the country towards democratic socialism, which IMO is a mistake.

I'm here, sacking up with everyone else and I agree - now more than ever we need to come together as a community.

Good post Norton.

"DEMOCRAT" Socialism is just that, nothing Democratic about it.

The assault on our constitutional rights will continue until we destroy the false narrative that we are racist, fascist and bigots. Until that narrative is defeated, constitutional rights and protections only apply to Democrats.

motorcoachdoug · Jan 10, 2021

Well Done!! That needed to be said and now it is time for us to stand shoulder to shoulder and move forward as well. Side note, I wonder if this is how my ancestors felt back in 1776? Also going to send some more $$$ to MSI when i get my check on friday to help. This is a MAJOR fight we will have to take to the courts and that cost mega $$$ and heaven forbid if the courts let us down, then it is time to answer the call..

Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with every patriot here!

How do you propose that 'we' do that? What's your plan?

Norton - well said - Thanks

1 - The first line of defense is you having the courage to push back in social situations when you are being branded as something you’re not.

2. Stay engaged in the political process and primary any sitting Republican who does not fight big tech, the media and the notion that Republicans are racist.

There’s a whole separate conversation we can have about why republican economic policy is better for minorities than Democrat economic policy but unfortunately explaining the differences between supply and demand side economics is too large a topic for this forum.

But the bottom line is we need leaders who can articulate that to the minorities so they understand that republicanism and their economic policy is better for them to create generational wealth than the regulatory system which is the Democratic economic system.

Remember for democratic economic policy to be relevant there has to be high levels of poverty and unemployment. Therefor the worst thing for Democrats would be wealthy minorities who do not have to rely on government handouts.

Folks,

I get it. We are all reeling from the events that have happened since the election in general, and with the events of this week specifically.

There were those that thought that the election was going to go differently in November. There were those that thought that something was going to come out of the court challenges around the fraud allegations. There were those that hoped for a different outcome with the Georgia do-over election as a last ditch hold on the Democrats taking complete control.

None of those things came to pass.

This week, a protest was held in DC and while emotions were running high, there was no presumption that it would be anything other than those kinds of protests/marches that have gone before, i.e. being peaceful.

That didn't happen either and shit went down.

As a result of both the outcomes of the elections, and now following the events that occurred on Wednesday, we are seeing the most overt and Draconian attack on freedom of thought and expression to occur in any of our lifetimes.

Those that are wielding power right now are going to wield it like a club, a whip and a knife. They want to beat us into submission, and carve us from society.

The purges that are occurring right now are following the script of every leftist overthrow of a government since time began.

Right now we are in the purge of thought phase. They are seeking to compartmentalize us into smaller and smaller pens where we can eventually be rounded up later; either metaphorically or literally. That remains to be seen which it will be.

But here's the point.

Your angst, concern, fear, anger, outrage are being channelled in the wrong way. You're spending time arguing and finger pointing at people here who are the ones that you need to stand with when the time comes.

We are not alone in this. We must stand together.

MDS is right now on the front lines of the 1st and 2nd amendment fight for freedom in this country.

That is not hyperbole. Our voices are being silenced on legacy media and new media across this entire country and outlets like MDS stand as the last outposts of free thought for those that cherish our Constitution and individual liberty.

You need to decide now where you stand. Are you ready to stand together, or are you going to let their plan to divide us succeed?

This community has always been, and needs to continue to be, the place that brings patriots together centered around the basic principles of freedom.

What's done is done. We can't do anything about November 3 or January 6. It's past.

We need to move forward and stand together, or we will surely fall separately.

Put your grief and despair aside now. It's time to sack up and gird yourself for what is to come as they seek to destroy your rights.

Wow. Great piece!

...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor (2nd Continental Congress, 4 July, 1776).

Good post Norton! Alot of us are pissed and we do need to think with our brains and not our feelings. How to win back this country without lighting it on fire is the big issues now. We have a great place here but what if they shut it down and band this from the web? That is the problem they control the outlets. I think some on the left will pull back just to keep things from going all crazy. The bs at the Capital scared them a little,but gave them more ideas on what to control too. God Help US!

Great post Norton.

Great post; now we need to *do* something...

Great post, Norton. I am so sickened and disgusted by what has happened, and is happening, that I tried to stop caring, to drop out...but I couldn't.

I spent some quality time at the online MSI meeting 09 JAN 2021, and plan to be more active in that great organization.

Walmart - no guns - no ammo

Went into the local Walmart last evening, no guns and no ammo we’re on the shelves. I said to the clerk, wow, sales must be booming (no pun intended). He said, all the guns and ammunition are locked up in the back until after the inauguration.

Seemed ridiculous....

Everyone - take a breath, now sack up
