Why We Fight

Steve Schmidt with some strong words, taking Patrick Henry as his text. The main message is that strong words are not going to be enough.

I'm not going to fight.

Evil people rule the world, that's just how it is.

All I can do is marvel at their proficiency. My theory / belief, that the world rulers are actually decedents of Magog rather than Judah is not meant to be derogatory. I'm just, figuratively speaking, taking my hat off and bowing.

It's impressive. Not a darn thing I can do about it. Somebody is going to buy Donald Trump, once he has no more money.

Liberalism is the philosophy of optimism and hope; conservatism is the philosophy of pessimism and fear. Very pessimistic message there, Cat.

It's the wrong sub-forum for me to preacher the Gospel.

The tribulation is upon us. Rejoice.

I want to redirect. I'm quite serious about the title of this thread, and about my current signature, "If you love liberty you must hate Trump." I fear Americans no longer understand and value their freedom--they take it for granted and cannot imagine what it would be like to lose it. If they did they would want to defend it, "not just with the spear but with the axe!" as an old Greek put it.

Not only here in the USA today, all throughout history citizens are complacent apathetic comfortable until to late. Thinking it will never happen or someone else will stop it from happening.

My cynicism is not becoming for someone who believes in Christ, I admit.

My freedom has led me to a forced choice, a road that splits in two directions. One path leads to misery and destruction. And so does the other one.

Because I'm poor. This may be because I squandered the opportunities presented to me, but there were not many of those.

There's nothing we can do about Trump and the Fourth Reichers taking over.

You could start with a truckload of encrypted smart phones. Just try to do that, without some agency becoming aware of it.

The way to go with the phones is to do it with ordinary phones, and software. Wouldn't try to buy crypto-chips, and wouldn't trust them anyway.
