(53,661 posts)Armed forces as if we're still living in the arms parity as the British and Americans were in the Revolutionary War.
When that's pointed out, they say they will conduct guerilla warfare to win the battle for Freedom & Liberty© and say that won the Revolutionary War and the Vietnam War. They may have a point there, but it's turning a blind eye to the technology we all know exists.
The CT division of the wingnuts believe such things as, well, there are lists:
HAARP created Hurricane Katrina, the birds dropping dead in the air last year was a test to kill the human population.
The US military generated earthquakes in China and Japan to warn them off of something the (insert name here) didn't want, last year's Japanese tsunami was caused by a sub we sent that used a nuclear detonation to intentionally start the earthquake, and BTW, carrier ships arrived when the nuke blew. The reason the site wasn't dealt with properly was because they are planning to kill us all...
Enough lists. In the face of all they think is so evil and has their gastric juices in overdrive, they maintain they are going to run around in the woods and stop all of this. Or will kill the closest minions of the NWO© they can get to, which are the Democrats, liberals, homosexualists, Islamists, minorities, LEOs, etc.
What you will do (I argue) by destroying civil society and creating chaos, is bring those forces to bear on them. And the ones who will be doing that are the ones they claim to idolize, military or police that protected them thus far from hordes of hippies and tax collectors and all of what they presume are after them.
I haven't expressed that well, but if some of these people would return from the outskirts of Glennbeckistan, they might see our power to maintain our mutual Freedom & Liberty© is in believing we can make government work for us. They say that means I'm a 'statist.'I see that as better than a fascist theocracy.
