I swore an oath to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic.. Just because you TRULY believe in socialism and communism does not mean that you should be forgiven. If you commit acts of treason, sedition, commit terrorist attacks on patriotic citizens then you shall be considered a domestic terrorist. Terrorism serves no place in society.

Granted thug level ops, may not deserve to die no, but they definitely deserve to be trailed by a partial jury, and then sentenced accordingly. However, some/others in places of power have made decisions that not only negatively affected our republic, but harmed, killed, entrapped common everyday patriotic citizens just trying to live a regular life.

Nope. Traitorous actions require punishments fit for traitors or it simply encourages the behavior.

Did you recently change your user name from “Michelle Obama”?

One slight clarification: they know what they are doing, they are underestimating the reaction that their actions will bring upon them (like most libs do)...

Forgiveness is one thing, requiring punishment also is another. Just because you forgive somebody does not mean you are absolving them of the crime, and are not requiring punishment. There are a lot of chaplains in the Armed Forces, but they are still “armed” forces.

Look at the debt clock. We were at 6T when bush took office, 10T when Obama took office, and 20T when Trump took office. I cant remember but will check shortly, but I think we were sitting around 21 or 22T when the pandemic hit and we have been burning money ever since. Consider this timeline in contrast to all the tyrannical usurpation going on at nearly every level of government and big business.

I also took an oath, but above all else I have young children that our going to inheirit a miserable existence if nothing is done soon and I cannot bear the thought of that let alone accept the reality of it. As much as I dont want to die I accepted my mortality long ago and have a far greater fear of having to look my sons in the eyes and tell them I stood by and did nothing while they got sold down the river.

You are welcome to do nothing. There is no such thing as 100% participation but keep in mind you will be ignored regardless of the outcome. I've spent a decade positioning and doing my best to insulate myself and my family as much as possible for what I see as the inevidible. 10 and 15 years ago people thought I was crazy and it is more than statistically probable that you would have been one of them. Frankly, it is more probable that you thought people like myself were crazy than it is that you voted for both Romney and McCain in spite of warnings if you were even conservative or political that long ago.

Even if nothing happens, the only advice I can give you at this point is to stick up on beans and rice, pay off your debts like a madman and prepare for some epic shit to come down the tube because we've got bubbles galore and very serious economic problems that will come to roost and very soon and it's going to be way more drastic than just cutting a penny from every dollar. The whole system is going to be burned down either way, it's really just a matter of who is going to rebuild it.

No, I would like to avoid as much death and destruction as possible -- that's just smart.

To show mercy upon the little people who would give up and concede while holding the big fish accountable (and making an example of them, at least some of them) is just a smart move.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense. If we all let the left to hide behind ignorance, we can't punish any of them for anything.

"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
