Here are some masks that I wear as a fashion statement.
I especially like the blue masks because they go well with a blue shirt and a blue watch that I wear. :love:

There are those that get mad when there's a government mandate and they see somebody that doesn't have a mask. Are they the 'good guys' or...?
They’re definitely not the good guys because they don’t respect free-will.
If someone wants to go 200mph wearing no seatbelt while drunk, I would allow it. I’m a libertarian.

I don't judge someone because they freely choose to wear a mask. I don't judge someone who freely chooses the covid vaccine. I have confidence in my immune system at this stage in my life to handle covid. So no masks or covid shot for me. I always thought it was interesting when some of these experts went before Congress and while they sat silently, they had a masks pulled up over their noses. Then when it came time to speak, they pulled their masks down. That proves the point that it is very difficult to communicate effectively while wearing those things. Yet they expected workers around the country to wear those masks all day long and effectively communicate with their customers and clients. I don't respect leaders who can't lead by example. If you can't wear your mask properly while speaking before congress, then don't expect workers around the country to be able to do what you are unwilling to do.

Well said about politicians.
“Rules for thee but not for me”
They provide good entertainment though and most of the country join-in every 4 years in the ritual.

I don't join the ritual every 4 years. They aren't as important as they think they are.

Gotcha. So you’re all talk and no trousers then.
All your other talk about the “dangers” of these masks can be dismissed as first amendment entertainment then. Fair enough.
So what we learned from this exercise is that USA has better entertainment than say Afghanistan and I 100% agree with you on that.
If you live by the sword you will die by the sword. The only justification for a civil war in my opinion is a clear violation of the constitution. I don't think a mask mandate is that, a stolen election is, a fraudulent president committing treason is, a government violating its oath to protect the US by opening the border is. And mandating an experimental vaccine that kills people is.

This thought of "all talk and no trousers" sounds to me like someone not familiar with spiritual warfare. The useful idiots that trespassed on January 6th.

Do you realize if 100% of the Trump rally had held the line and not entered the congress building they would have had to arrest the ANTIFA thugs hired to start that thing, Jan 6th would have blown up in the face of the false flag and instead of being a this huge embarrassment it would have been a victory.

The US government stands because the people give it legitimacy. You don't take away their legitimacy with guns. You stand your ground with guns, but you take away their legitimacy with the word of God convicting and exposing their sins and hypocrisy.

If people had taken guns to the Jan 6th rally with this stupid phrase "all talk and no trousers" then those standing for election integrity would have lost all legitimacy.

So what is the statement? That a disciple of Jesus Christ is bowing to an illegitimate regime's idiotic mandate?

So what you’re telling me here is that the situation is VERY serious and dire, which requires the second amendment but you don’t want to act on it because …. .?

So why have it there? For show? A feel-good mechanism to fool the masses that they have some power?

Umm the statement is a fashionable one. The blue mask looks good with my clothes.
Blue mask, blue shirt, blue watch, blue eyes. Looks good on me.

As long as the powers that be fully control the media you cannot fight them with guns. They will portray any event in the most horrible and despicable light regardless of the truth.

You have to first alert the country to the mind control and get them off of the manipulation. I think it is very clear that over the last 2 1/2 years we have seen that process, but it is still much less than I would have hoped.

So not only do you have to speak, create new platforms, and do the hard work of talking to your friends and neighbors with love, patients, and perseverance. You also have to let the fruit of the corrupt regime ripen. Imagine you are screaming about Biden didn't get 81 million votes and I'm thinking OK, maybe he didn't. But the economy is great, inflation is low, no war, nothing but peace and security. I'm gonna think so what, he is a good president. But if I see inflation, businesses closing down, cities like San Francisco, NY and Chicago descending into chaos, and WWIII starting then I don't care if he got 81 million votes or not, throw the bum out.

So the two go hand in hand.

I saw a woman in Chicago complaining that the government was taking the "resources" and giving them to the illegal immigrants instead of her.

I was thinking what "resources" is she talking about, what a strange way to refer to the money they are giving them. Then I realized she meant the tax revenue of the wealthy. She had voted for a government to take money from the rich and give it to her and she was upset that they were mistakenly giving it to the poor illegal immigrants! Everyone loves the concept of take the money from the rich and give it to the poor, because no one considers themself rich. But she just got a primer on the communists and now you might have a chance to talk to her and wake her up.

Many of you make statements which are hilarious because you don’t realize how out of touch you are with reality because you watch extreme YouTube entertainment shows which have altered your perception of reality.
For example you make hilarious statements about the situation in Germany during ww2 and of course that happened to them because they didn’t have guns.
YET you all HAVE guns and complain about these DIRE situations and this tyranny. :LOL:

The second amendment is very effective at protecting your own house. The reason they want to take away everyone's guns is because they realize how hard it would be to go door to door if everyone is armed. There are 350 million Americans. No invading force will have that many men, if they have 10 million men it would be amazing.

However, if a bunch of bozos get their little AR15's or whatever they have and think they can take on the Federal government they are simply a bunch of useful idiots. The deep state would love it. Do you have tanks and armored vehicles and all the logitical supplies necessary? They would have no problem putting your stupid little rebellion down and they would plaster it all over the news until everyone on both sides of the divide utterly hate and despise you.

Every single successful civil war has to win the hearts and minds of the military. You do that by convincing them that their oath of office means they must fight against this deep state and remove it.

Yeah okay so what you’re telling me here is that to counteract THEIR shows we need a better show. Got it.
And that’s exactly where we find ourselves in. CNN vs Fox News. Another regular day basically.
The second amendment in the mean time just sits there looking sternly cos that’s all it’s got. Looks.

No one is stopping you, if you want to join the Jan 6th protestors in prison, go ahead. Already the FEDS have gunned down two veterans in their homes for posting something online similar to what you have said. So keep it up and you too can have your "I am a martyr" ticket punched by them.

You think you are acting on faith and in courage, you are simply acting in unbelief and confusing foolishness with courage.

Really? So the reason the Second amendment is there is to protect your house? How do people in other nations protect their houses without their second amendment?

What I am telling you is that we are fighting a spiritual warfare and the strategic high ground. We are fighting for trust and we are winning. You are pushing a losing strategy that will destroy all the gains we have made.

They don't. They march dutifully into concentration camps like they did in China and Australia.

First of all they gunned them down because they didn’t follow commands. You know how the cops are when you don’t follow commands.
But if the situation is infringing on free speech then this is even more serious than we thought right? More reason to invoke the second amendment.

They gunned down men in their homes who were not threatening anyone nor were they being charged with any crime. That is not a reasonable response, that is murder. This is my point, if you don't control the media they will portray cold blooded murder as the government protecting you.
