“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause.
And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. ****And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.” ****
Well stated. I WILL NOT BE CONTROLED. You know they say we VETS are a danger, lmao only if you try to fuck us and violate our Country's Constitution. We will not tolerate you trying to screw OUR COUNNTRY OR IT"S CITIZENS
Your comment makes me think of every one of my military friends and smile. They would never telegraph anything; they do the job and just leave your sorry butt on the ground facing up (if you're lucky) before you ever saw it coming. Gosh I love those guys.
I concur, if it ever comes to it I shall be one of the ones leaving many laying on there backs, spirits leaving their bodies wondering what the hell just happened.
Reminded me of ths from MLK

Can confirm, brother. Just waiting on a green light.
One of my favorite quotes, "Do not confuse my calm demeanor with me forgetting how to fight."

GBY, Kilowatt2066. I really needed to read what you have to say.
There are THOUSANDS of us who will stand with you - or even, stand alone.
Land of the free - because of the brave.
Amen Brother
When they complied.
I WILL NOT COMPLY!
I HAVE BEEN YELLING THIS ON TWITTER FOR 12 MONTHS. NOBODY GETS IT.
Well there's your problem...
Twitter is the battlefield and Anons need to be on there fighting every day to awaken people.
TFW you think about opening 10 alt accounts just so you can boost the internet points on a really great post... (nice find!)
I will not comply
Good gut punch.
Shit, that's rough.
Cowards die many times. If you cowered, it is what it is.
