“My two cents:
1 Don’t shoot or in any way attack LEO or National guard troops; it is a sure fire way to turn people away from your cause. Refuse to obey unconstitutional laws but don’t refuse to obey the police, your fight is in court not with the police.
2. If you did choose to take someone’s life, a politician or other anti-American activist, which I would advise against, do not use a gun. The opposition would use the fact that you used a gun against you. Don’t forget they are painting you as rabid killers who are armed.
3, The fight is political, form groups to bring your cause to the public and fight this at the ballot box. Win the hearts and minds of your fellow citizens.
4. Tell your people, your followers and supporters that you are a law abiding supporter of the constitution and anyone who breaks the law does not represent you and your beliefs.

Dear Anonymous,
You clearly haven’t put two seconds’ considered thought into this.
I have one deadly serious question for you:
At what point do you draw the line, and stop cucking?
The Colonial Militia opened fire in 1775 when TPTB came for their guns, and their leaders.
Maybe I’m sentimental about the principle, but that sounds like a pretty good historical precedent to me.
You want to try fighting that battle after you’re disarmed, before the same courts that refused to throw such prima facie unconstitutional laws out, for decades, and you may as well just drive yourself down to the railroad yard and self-load onto a boxcar now.
If not your guns, then over what?
If not right then, when?
If you won’t fight when you’re armed, how will you do it when you’re disarmed?
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” – Thomas Paine
“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” – Sam Adams
It’s as if you couldn’t wait to run out and say “Any suggestion that someone might actually stand up for their rights in any meaningful way was unintentional” and “Hey, we don’t want to, you know, piss off TPTB or make things hard for their dutiful minions, right?”
In short, I cannot see any point of agreement with one word you wrote.
You’re twenty years and more behind the times.
For you, the catch-up is going to be a cast-iron bitch.
In the meantime, when the penny drops, and you realize the people “who break the law and do not represent you” are the very government and its organs you won’t lift a finger to oppose, will your head explode? Or will you just sit there in stunned shock while smoke exits your ears?
Or in your theory of government, do unjust laws enforced by unjust thugs for unjust ends nonetheless constitute a binding power over you until serendipity and happy accident grant you a magical do-over, and restore your surrendered weapon(s) to you?
8,518,000 Virginians were kind of wondering, just for openers.
You ever notice how evil we all think Hollywood is, and yet that is where you go for your memes? Make believe much???
To whom it does concern,
If you were so much on the side of right, you would not need to use ‘make believe’ and lash out at your brothers who have another opinion with the name calling and rhetoric straight out of Alynski’s playbook.
Then we also go to a bunch of people, (some good some bad) who’s main concern is the selling of books.
And yes i am aware of the good ones who are capable of logic,reason,patience and common sense values.
i guess we as individuals all have our individual line and some of us refuse to take the Bait, as presented including yours!
Some of us see the Traps that are in front of us, Try if you can not to hate us for having the wisdom to avoid them.
Can you forgive us?
What i was called to reply can also be considered Righteous anger!
Can it not?
OH!
and don’t get me wrong i have discerned by the Holy Spirit certain Truths, that Aesop has discussed over the years, and certain things that he cannot seem to see nor come to grips with, many more years than you Wes.
How long have you been here? 1.5? Or were you here under another name before?
I don’t see why how long I’ve been a contributor to NCRenegade to be relevant. I’ve been at this a long time my friend. I first started with articles in the Salisbury Post about 8 years ago. Feel free to go read some of them here…. https://www.salisburypost.com/site-search/?q=wes+rhinier I can assure you that was a very tough crowd. LOL… David would from time to time publish some of my articles but I think he asked me to be a regular contributor about year and half or 2 years ago. I’ve always used my real name. No need to hide. Hope this information is helpful to you. Please I encourage you to go and read all my past articles. Enjoy
Thank you, good to hear from you and share a little info.
i had wondered how familiar you are with Aesop and some of the crowd. That is the relevance. Different perspectives come from our life experiences, age, things we are watching etc.
Also saw a reference that you possibly teach a class?
i came across, N.C. and WRSA, by many visits to the Ann Barnhardt pages, while at that time engaging posting and creating articles of discussion on a sight that is no longer,(Freedom Works.)
I’m very familiar with a lot of the people on these websites we tend to frequent. I regularly bounce ideas and thoughts off some of these other guys. I have always enjoyed Aesops blog.
Really? You who would post as a “follower” Straining the gnat of someones’ post under his verifiable real name as you sit back and snipe under cover of a pseudonym? ROFL here. Those of us who post under our real names have much more to risk than you, and are much more prone to truth telling, even if you don’t want to hear the handwriting we so plainly see on the wall. If you are so worried about it being “bait” for your coming out of the shadows and actually joining in a discussion without feeling that something is “amiss”, then so be it. Your opinion has little use for me, if you are afraid to take that first step, claim it and name it, you might as well be posting as Minny Mouse or Gentle John. TET.
It says alot about a person don’t it Tim? We should have dinner one evening if you’re close by. Central NC is where I’m located
TET. You are off Base.
Why do you feel it necessary to stir the pot?
i am talking saying the same thing as you are down below.
“Agree. Don’t be “that guy”! Be influenced by the facts you see on the ground. For myself, I’m more influenced by what I see than any thing I hear about. Get out there and scout the situation if possible. Almost all this blog info is background, spin, and quite rightly suspect. People can be sincere but still wrong headed or with some hidden agenda. Discern truth based on your intuition and the Word.TET.”
Wes knows my name as do many others. Why does this shake you up?
“And way to go Rabbi Will” Wes and i are finally talking and you do not even see it? keep taking your little cuts and jabs.
If you are telling me to mind my own business on a public forum, get real and see my previous post. I’m just pointing out the obvious. I have no knowledge of your name or history, only going by what I see here. It’s always the other guy’s fault. No? TET.
i am saying why jump in the middle if you do not need to? i thought Wes, and i were doing fine? At least from my perspective. You came out of no where and seemingly picked sides.
No harm, no foul, hows that?
i believe we are all required to ask some questions when we are being nudged into open conflict,don’t you?
And No, it is not always the other guys fault.
There is a reason i go by a follower. This started around 2012. it is personnel yet if it is ‘that’ important i will ‘consider’ sharing with you.
We are all at a disadvantage here in ways. Just because you post your name, i still do not know you. i have only seen you commenting here recently, and usually get your points.
The FBI and other federal organizations have in the past used individuals to promote a view which would “incite” or “foment” actions by others to create a desired political narrative. I too have viewed these submissions with suspicion.

TET. Respect here! Good writing..call me. 7042026922
Thanks for the invite, here and above, also for favorable comment. TET.
I hate to say it TET. But you’re wasting your time on follower I tried it for a while. All you’ll get most likely is a never ending pissing contest from him. He seems to feel that he must always troll Wes on everything.
I get the picture. Once a troll, always a troll, maybe. I’m done with calling out to reason. And no, he’s not saying the same thing I said, it’s just more troll wisdom and doubting platitudes.
If I call that 704 -- number and it’s answered “Joe’s Billiards”, I’ll have a good laugh! TET.
[…] THESE roving lines in the sand are the times that try men’s souls? […]
It won’t be. You may need a 1 to start! Lol
