" You can not invade the mainland United States . There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass . " Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto [ Japanese Navy WWII]

______________________________________________________________________

DEC2008 we bought over 1,529,630,000 rounds of ammunition in just one month . That's with a " B " for billion . We also bought more firearms than China's & India's armies have combined in the last three month alone .

OK we are concerned about survival in an uncertain world and many of us worry about the attacks onour Second Amendment and OC & CC . BUTare we concerned and worried enough to unite ?

One blade of grass is very weak however many blades woven together in a united effort are strong . Who said , If we do not hang together we will hang seperately ? Was it John Pierce ?

What leads you to believe gun owners are not uniting at this critical juncture in history? We unite behind lobbying organizations like the NRA and GOA, and not to mention where we are spending our dollars.

Don't think for a second those in power have not noticed any of this taking place.

They noticed how divided we were for the 2008 elections and are now waiting for us to go back to sleep with a fake lalla bye . The ancients even used the individual blades of grass to make very strong body armor .

1.] Not voting

2.] Voting for a third party as I did with Ross Perot and got Bill Clinton

3.] Voting for Mickey Mouse

4.] Influencing others negatively

5.] the 2008 election continuance of divisiveness within that gave us this administration

6.] The ignorance , apathy , and bigotry [ Glenn Beck is a Mormon]

7.] Fear of Uniting together as a brotherhood

8.] False leadership by some that only seek : power , sex , and money

9.] I hate to lose and if our national sovereignty is lost all of the Contitution is lost .

10.] The propaganda machine against our RKBA is powerful and misleading

11.] Not voting for Ann Romney if she is nominated to be the First Lady 2012 .

The ego it takes to be a staunch OC'er I think procludes us from being very good followers, and none of us really wants to lead the other crazy people.

Divided we are now, but you might be surprised at how quickly we unite when we action is truly needed.

IMHO.

Impressive stats (I did my part). Do you have any cites or sources? Do these numbers include law enforcement/military?

I concur. But unity only comes when circumstances arise. Like the old song from the Last Poets - until the SHTF, everyone is just partying and bullsh*tting, partying and bullsh*tting.....

I have a friend who was in East Berlin a few days before the Wall came down in 1989 - he was meeting with political activists there and they had great detailed plans, over a 10-20 year period for slowly working away at the institutions that were holding up the Wall and then, before a few more days went by, the People just catalyzed and acted in unity and the Wall came down -

(those political activists' with their jaws and 10 year plans dropped, joined in to what was already happening) -

I don't see why it would be any different here. :dude:

We can consider ourselves Patriots, supporters and defendersof the Constitution. Someone else may say we advocate sedition. Any group that advocates the overthrow of a government or gathers in support of such acts is committing a crime. We must tread carefully, Brothers and Sisters. We Support and Defend the Constitution, against all enemies, Foreign and domestic.

Sadly, it seems that some of those enemies of the Constitution have made their way into positions very high up in the government. This is a very scary situation, indeed!

I can vouch for the fact that Brother Razor is an absolute freak for noted Mormon Mitt Romney.

I don't believe in Mormonism myself, but the ones I know are some of the most decent folks I ever met. However, Jainism is another matter. I once dumped a girlfriend because she follwed that religion. Her name, you see, was "Jane":celebrate

sorry. I just had to......

The first time I heard Mitt Romney's name was on MSNBC . The reporter said that Romney would be taken out at the knees because he was a Mormon :shock:

Your avatar reminds me of a very good friend Don Hendricks of Fullerton , Ca.

Don was a nationally known watercolor artist , Scout Master , Fullerton State Professor , and Mormon .

ignorance = I don't know /// should be ...... I want to know

apathy = I don't care / / / should be ...... I care

bigotry= it is someone else' fault /// ...... should be ...I am responsible

I really hate bigotry .

Not only Horst, but Josef Goebbles invented the "big lie". OH, the song.

Just so everyone knows I am NOT advocating National Socialism in ANY way. But no doubt about it the Germans had some of the most stirring marches since John Philip Sousa, and "Horst Wessel" was one of those. I just re-worked the lyrics to make it all-inclusive ("Citizens" instead of "SA" (Sturmabeitelungen or Storm Troops) and to make the bad guys we march against be the enemy which killed almost 3.000 of us and who continue to kill our troops, as well as our other enemies both foriegn and domestic (Instead of the "red front and reaction") My intent was to turn the old Fascist anthem on its head, and for us to be marching against precisely what Horst Wessel stood for.

If I have alarmed or distressed particularly any of my Jewish bretheren or sisteren, I apologize.

But if even ONE anti recognizes these lyrics and goes :shock::what:well, so much the better.

I don't care what religious beliefs anyone has, when it comes to supporting the Constitution. We are all in this together, patriots come in all shapes, sizes, religious and social backgrounds. All Ancestries, all of us, we are all Americans, and none of that hyphenated #*%@ either. Either you're American or you're not. Stand tall,,and when and if the time comes,,,
Keep your powder dry !
