    I'm not familiar with this story. But...I can share what I'm preaching to my kids...

    Knowing is half the battle. Don't have an online presence. Lay low. Gain knowledge. Make a lot of money in silence. Take care of your family and your health.

    They are certainly monitoring the internet and are keeping track of where everybody's hearts are. You can even see that in the testimony today on the impeachment of Trump. They are quoting all kinds of chat quotes from Trump supporters as evidence that Trump is guilty of things he never did. You bet they'll twist, strech and mangle the truth based on whatever tidbits you place online for them.

    Has no one heard that Biden's new secretary of defense gave a stand down order to the military, and that they are going to be combing through the troops to be sure that they don't have the wrong people in their service. Obama started filling the ranks with his liberal picks and Biden is now capitalizing on it.

    A National Guard of like minded individuals would indeed carry out their orders. Just look back at how the park rangers were eager to implement Obama's orders when he did his park shutdown. And that was without going through the ranks weeding outsoldiers that don't fit the profile that they want

    What became of 'meme' coined by Richard Dawkins? The online memes have nothing to do with memes.

    Considering the state of things today and knowing the bastards are salvating to round up and reeducate people like me (you), having 'them' concerned about election integrity or ANY unlawful conducted related to the process, is the pinnacle of hypocrisy. Frankly, I'm amazed the d's haven't recruited him for political office

    OK; will chill. Personal history tends to make me super-prickly when someone tells me "what I know and don't know." Not your fault.

    I was responding specifically to the "we" I interpreted in diessos' comment about 'we are becoming a country.' In this context, as I watch the impeachment trial, I am seeing things and attitudes, and hearing words and thoughts that I never really knew people actually believed. I guess one of the things that - as a conservative - bothered me, was always the idea that "if they saw what we see, they wouldn't feel that way." And what I am learning now is that they are thinking the same thing about us. Whether they believe what they are actually saying, I don't know, but they certainly are dramatizing it. Some of these people should be nominated for Academy Awards. I realize that's not really an answer to your question, but I hope it somehow explains the context in which I was using the word "we" in that comment.

    Of course I have other contexts and thoughts about "we." Which I will think about as I cook dinner, which is next up.

    Good observation, but not just the Jews, everyone else, too. Germans at the time were supposed to be a civilized people, just like Americans now are supposed to be a civilized people. Stupid is overruling rational thought at an increasing pace.

    Hmm. I am also 62 and have two "kids" both grown. They believe in their right to pursue their interests because this is what I have explained logically to them through out their lives. So, logic prevails.
    Both have read Rand. So they have concepts that are foreign to the average Millenial (Gen Y).
    * Going back to your comment, if they won't stand in conflict, just who will?

    No, they won't stand up for them or with them..they are to a large extend to blame for their kids turning out to be little commies. I am 62, I have 3 adult kids. I carefully indoctrinated them to resist all this sort of BS. I told my daughters, of which I have 2, that if they ever came home with a Democrat boyfriend I would stick my foot up their behind that they would choke on it. Both have married well. As a parent you have got to watch your children so they don't go on the wrong path, by for instance falling under the spell of college professors and the like. I liken the indoctrination I mentioned to a vaccine. If you don't administer it carefully they can catch a lifelong case of stupidity.

    America may have had political prisoners in the past but we definitely have them now. We have become a country never seen in my worst dreams.

    I don't disagree with your observation. But being a participant of the Gulch, you most likely believe that the "individual" will never be beaten out of the believers of such. If you cannot beat self value out of me, then I will not diminish. John Galt will always be "alive", in body or spirit. If the spirit lives, the foundation of its society will always exist. You are a member of the Gulch.
    So chill out, I was supporting you in a way.
    But in closing, how do YOU define "we" as it relates to your life?

    Well, you are right!
    In actuality, my parents were of WWII stock. So a better clarification would be, would Boomer Parents, the ones that didn't buy into Alinsky's contempt, stand up for their wayward offspring?
    Would the Berkley Brand of Boomers actually take up arms?

    You can disagree all you want. But you don't get to decide what I know, or what matters for me, or how I define "we." You have a good day, now.

    Actually the parents of the current marxist young people are not the Greatest generation, These little marxists are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the "greatest generation.

    If the "little wuss keyboard warriors" will not stand up, I mean actually enter armed (hot) conflict, then who will be the armed adversary?
    Serious...
    Now, will the parents (Greatest Generation) of these "keyboard warriors" stand in their defense while selling out their ideals?
    Serious...

    Curious, will the (Marxist) college students actually take up arms to defend the actions of their vote?

    When conflict happens, will the members of the National Guard actually defend the swamp?

    Dumb? Maybe..
    Too lazy to actually believe in their own words. Absolutely.
    Too weak to stop their ingestion of "poison"? Let's see where that takes them.

    Disagree with your statement. And when you get to the absolute core of your philosophy, you don't either.
    You know who YOU are. I know who I am. That is all that really matters. The US Collective is moving into a fog. But you? No.. Me? No.
    You and I are who we want as individuals, who you and I are.
    Members of the Gulch, I ask you. Are you participants in the US Collective?

    He (BHO) receives money from China maybe but it is not who/what he admires most: Socialist Europe.
    He has lit the rocket of the "Fourth Reich"
    Do as we say
    Take what we hand out
    Believe what we say is best
    "You" are no body, "We" are ultimate
    * We are royal (Aristocracy), so live your life as we deem it appropriate.
    Sounds like Hitler's doctrine doesn't it.
