The Devil in the Details

New details are emerging about what led to the shooting of two ATF agents at an apartment complex in DeKalb County on Friday morning...

Reed says she told the ATF a different story than what they used to issue the warrant.
BATFU playing fast and loose with the details? Why doesn't that surprise me?

I also like this quote from another account:
“I just don’t get it,” the father said. “You come, kick in somebody’s door at 4 o’clock in the morning and what do you expect? This area has had a lot of burglaries and home invasions.”
Besides, haven't we established that if you shoot someone through a door, no charges will be filed? Or does that door not swing both ways?

"Or does that door not swing both ways?"

It is up to We The People to ensure that it DOES swing both ways. All of our appointed safeguards are failing us, so we must do it ourselves.....

If it happens enough times, and We The People show enough resolve. Perhaps our servants will get back into their Constitutionally delegated positions.

The door hasn't swung both ways for a long time.

But what do "we the people" do about it??

Blogging won't stop "them". The media is on "their" side. "They" know who "we" are. It is easy to factionalize and marginalize us and it is happening by the day.

I am asking sincereley and with due respect to the reasoned articles David has written on the subject.

Is critical mass building or eroding? Every day of public school, the daily paper, treasonous anti constitution placating finger in the wind connsensus driven "representatives" is
another step away from the constitution and OUR rights and the rights I expect to be here for my grandchildren.

Will the NRA ride to the rescue? Second Amendment Foundation? The "minutemen"?

Or are these groups really just fundraisers secretly working to undermine us?

Will an effective resistance to this one worldism coalesce or will us relics of freedom be picked off one at a time? or just "educated" away over time??

Will our grand children live in the American Union or the United States? Or worse, are we being sold off and dismantled, demoralized and laid bare to be plundered by islam and then china?

What would Jefferson, Hamilton,Frankiln, Hancock and the others have said? They risked everything for this freedom we stand by and see squandered.

I know the government is here to help....but....help do what???

And Churchill was right. If people won't do anything when there is no risk to life or limb, why should we expect any different when there are real risks and consequences?

I'm asking respectfully.

Remember WACO!

No one will ride to the rescue.

Things will need to get worse-- a lot worse--disastrously worse on a mass scale--before people start taking matters into their own hands.

The advantage the first Revolution had is that leaders--political, economic, social--were on the side of the rebellion. Now they are on the side of the status quo, which means repressing anything that threatens the order.

And then, since there is no formal resistance structure--we come to the question of who to ally with, and who will end up controlling which turf...

It's daunting--there are no easy answers. How's that for two massive understatements in a row?

I wish I had cheery answers. I fear that we may be going through hell if things don't turn around, that Churchill scenario you allude to.

And don't forget the police state infrastructure, the light speed communications and the record keeping that did not exist in the 1700's

And dare I say, an increasingly cultivated "lack of honor" among men?

P.S.

Can I also lay our dilema on a "LACK OF GUTS" among men?

Am I off the mark?
