Yeah, it's annoying some of the whining. "It's been 10 months! That's too long! I want it now!""
Some people wait years, decades even, for justice. Some never get justice in their lifetime. Some people never get justice at all. Ask the victims of Stalin and Pol Pot if they got justice. Ask those of Mao. There are people who watched their children butchered and raped before their eyes. A lot of them did not get justice right away.
It takes patience and time.
So thanks for posting this. Some people need a reminder that good things come to those who wait (and we don't mean passively). It's timing. Timing is critical in war. You can't let the enemy provoke you into striking at the wrong time and they will try.
Food and water will be essential once the fallout happens here...but as long as you've got an old radio playing tunes from the 1940's, the journey will be much easier.
Mark Hammil was never viable as a live actor. As part of the ensemble of the Big Red One with Lee Marvin I found his character to be way nauseating. He almost ruins Star Wars in the same way Sean Astin and Elijah Wood almost destroyed Lord of the Rings with their over the top whiny ass bitch ass soy boy fuck all portrayals of Frodo and Samwise.
yeah but Washington couldn't even win the war without use of violence. And he was willing to kill those who were a threat to liberty.
we are better than that. we will win it behind our keyboards and in the comfort of our homes. and just allow the tyrants to live and rule only thinking they are in control. am i right?
There's LOTS killing going on from our guys, you just don't see it. Resignations after resignations. I'd love to be on the "TAKE A SEAT" team that sits down with them.

Paris Nov. 13. 1787.
persevering lying. the British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. yet where does this anarchy exist? where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? and can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. they were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. god forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. the people cannot be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive; if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it's natural manure. our Convention has been too much impressed by. . .
"These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine continues to be relevant to this day. His Liberty or Death speech before the 2nd Virginia Convention, American Crises and Common Sense need to be memorized by every Patriot. He is my go to source when I need a bump of hopium or national pride. My all time favorite Patriot.

You really need to research your history. They had no idea if their plan would work. For all they knew the enemy could have been tipped off and they could have been going into an ambush. It was Christmas Eve with poor weather conditions and they had no idea what they'd find when they got there.
So why were Washington and his bedraggled Continental Army trying to cross an ice-choked Delaware River on a cold winter’s night? It wasn’t just to get to the other side. Washington’s aim was to conduct a surprise attack upon a Hessian garrison of roughly 1,400 soldiers located in and around Trenton, New Jersey. Washington hoped that a quick victory at Trenton would bolster sagging morale in his army and encourage more men to join the ranks of the Continentals come the new year. After several councils of war, General George Washington set the date for the river crossing for Christmas night 1776.
George Washington’s plan of attack included three different crossings of the Delaware River on Christmas night. Col. Cadwalader was to lead his force of 1,200 Philadelphia militia and 600 Continentals across the river near Burlington, New Jersey. His role was to harass and prevent the British and Hessian units near the town from racing north to support the Hessians at Trenton. Gen. James Ewing’s force of 800 Pennsylvania militia was to cross the river at Trenton and take up defensive positions along the Assunpink River and bridge. Ewing’s soldiers would work to prevent the Hessians from retreating from Trenton. And Washington and his 2,400 soldiers would cross at McConkey’s and Johnson’s ferries, roughly 10 miles north of Trenton and would then march down to Trenton to surprise the garrison at dawn. This was an ambitious plan, one that even well rested and experienced troops would have had difficulty in executing. Both Cadwalader and Ewing’s forces were unable to cross the ice-choked river. And Washington’s main force managed a crossing, but was more than three hours delayed.
Does that sound like they knew "exactly where they were going and what they were doing"? No, they just prayed to God it would go right. Their faith paid off, but they had no idea. Two of the boat crossings couldn't even get across the river. For all they knew they could be walking into certain death. So research history before you make statements like that.
At the time that painting portrays, the Colonials were on their last legs. They were about to lose the war. It was some relatively minor, at the time, actions that subtly turned it around. One being the crossing of the Delaware.
We are angry, pissed, sometimes pull hair, and in turn cuss at the television and at the lying speech makers. Then yesterday, hubby placed the Gadsden flag on our porch. Hah! Never give-up and never surrender. We've got to have the spirit of General Anthony McAuliffe.

I wish I could sticky comments
Well said, Supra
It’s gonna be really funny to watch this comment updoot now.
Someome might even screenshot it and turn it into a post!
Oh, you’re funny.

And of coarse, in a Durham boat...
And using oars made from Maricopa wood.
[Ok, now where can I find the "Shitcomment" flair, before someone thinks I'm serious with this?]

456 = 9 6. 9/6 when the Gitmo Hearings start up, scheduled until the 17th.
The 17th is the 234th anniversary of the signing of the constitution too. 1787.
War, War never changes.
And yes, I hear it in Ron Perlman's voice!
Shame the Perlman is such a soyboy cuck.
Never could stand him. Still can't! But Fallout 3 is/was a classic. Still load it up once in a while.
Once they destroy the US dollar, nuka-cola bottles and caps will be the new currency.
New vegas was epic.

Most people are wondering what the hell you're talking about. I totally agree. Gotta say I loved that aspect!
I would've never heard of "the Ink Spots" had I never played those games..."I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" remember?
(((Perlman)))
Exactly!! Those who scream the loudest
Mark Hammil was never viable as a live actor. As part of the ensemble of the Big Red One with Lee Marvin I found his character to be way nauseating. He almost ruins Star Wars in the same way Sean Astin and Elijah Wood almost destroyed Lord of the Rings with their over the top whiny ass bitch ass soy boy fuck all portrayals of Frodo and Samwise.
With a sense of urgency, tenacity, physical fitness, and above all, integrity, for in truth lies victory.
Brilliant Reminder! Thanks!

There's LOTS killing going on from our guys, you just don't see it. Resignations after resignations. I'd love to be on the "TAKE A SEAT" team that sits down with them.
What's your basis for this statement?

Difference was, they knew exactly where they were going and what they were doing.
We've been told to sit on our thumbs and wait and some ethereal entity will fix everything for us.
LOL, no, they didn't.
Who told you that?

Something huge is coming next week…
Another next week of waiting!
No. I hate people that say that. We've been getting BOOM, after BOOM after BOOM.
I spathize. But I have direct word from Seth himself. That’s all I can say.
