there are two sides in war the aggressor and the defender. preparing to defend yourself is not and act of war. going to the shores of a country with war ships is an act of war. if you can't see that this government is out of control then you are blind. nafta, amnesty, adopting U.N. resolutions, alliance to foreign countries, aggressive wars, voting against the constitution(patriot act, military commission act, etc) and more are acts of treason by people who took an oath to defend and obey the constitution. we had a power grab by the international bankers in 1913( even pres wilson regrets signing the federal reserve act of 1913) and a military coup in 1963(only one gunmen is the real conspiracy theory). this country has been controlled by the international bankers and corporations and they are bent on destroying our way of life. why else would they send our manufacturing overseas. manufacturing is how you create wealth for a country. no we need to prepared to defend ourselves from these globalist fascist. wake up people.

  there are now free speech zones, pre-raids on portesters(the democratic convention had pre-raids on protesters from re-create 68 and other groups1, 2).people have been arrested for filming police 1,2, 3senators are passing upwards of 90% of there bills without reading or debating them 1,2. this is insane that no one cares about this and you think this is only happening in texas WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Mobman....I'll add some thought on your post...a short while ago,  the US president from Kenya authorized drone missile attacks into Pakistan from outside that country, killing a major terrorist leader and his family, including children, without authorization from Congress or the UN, such as liberals made Bush seek before taking any similar actions. Our friend here, davie, posted an original news article on this after the attack, and included comments to the effect that "this was good start".

When asked by myself how liberals were against Bush for such actions, but now they support the president from Kenya doing the same thing, I couldn't get any legitimate responses. I want to know where nobama thought he got authorization to attack yet another country from? I have had zero responses from liberals. Still waiting....

Why do liberals turn a blind eye to their own doing what they criticized the Bush admin for, over an eight year period, and beyond? In fact, davie even professed support of such illegal acts of war. I'll never understand them....but they sure are avoiding this one.

When I posted "nice try Janet, or is it Eric", I was serious.  I would advise extreme caution if you are tempted to respond to anyone posting solicitations on the internet, when they are soliciting support for any possible physical resistance to the usurpers now holding power in D.C.

I'm sure that there are efforts underway to compile lists of anyone replying in support for any of these efforts. 

 If it does eventually hit the fan, you don't want the Obumbler, Napolitano, and Holder to have your name on a list of "domestic terrorists".  It's a good bet that tese lists already are being compiled.  And don't kid yourself, they can and will easily determine your identity if they want to.

So just be careful.  One of the most difficult and important aspects of any kind of resistance to tyranny in our country will be secure means of communication among the freedom fighters.

Wow; you got that right, hiroad. Just ask the nine who were indicted from Coralville for allegedly accessing the messiah's education records via computer. Sure...wrongdoing may have occurred....but they sure found out who they were, didn't they?
