What I do fear is that they are cannon fodder beckoning a nationwide government crackdown to which I and others will then be forced to personally respond to with equal f*cking measure. And all of this on the worst possible terms and at a very inconvenient time (executive actions on gun control mere weeks from now).Well, there is whole host of things wrong with this situation, which is why I never supported or endorsed "Operation Hammond Freedom" to begin with. There is a lot of misinformation out there at this time on the debacle in Oregon, and certain alternative media outlets seem to be conveniently overlooking particular facts. I suspect that some people in the movement simply want to "kick it off" (a second American revolution), and they don't care if the circumstances of that kick-off are favorable or terrible (I realize "favorable" is relative, but starting this fight from a much stronger position is more than possible). This attitude was prevalent among some at Bundy Ranch, as certain groups refused to dig in positions for a real fight in the hopes that they would be "martyred" for the cause.
This, in case you were wondering, is idiotic.

AS a career being a martyr sucks on a grand scale. There was a gook, named Sun Tzu and damn smart one was he, who wrote that you only fight the battles you know you are doing to win. The man knew what he was talking and teaching about. So is this a battle that we know in advance we are going to win? well? Are we? Related to that is the observation of NEVER interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. Lastly, do remember Murphy's Law(s) of combat operations.
ReplyDeleteYes and Newsweek says the feds are under orders not to initiate hostilities.
DeleteI am reminded of April 1861 and the attitudes that pervaded both sides before first Manassas. How many wars have been rightly or wrongly started by fools and waged by hero's? "Mopping up all the blood that will be spilled with a handkerchief" I believe was the quote. This fight is coming and has been for a long time, and I wonder if this will be another blood soaked spring. I don't think it matters anymore where patriots make a stand or the right or wrong of it. This fight is coming. All it needs now is for some damn fool to start shooting, for a state to leave the union,or for a fed to open up on a protest. This fight IS coming, and only G_D can stop it now--Ray

DeleteYes, just a short affair.
