That may be, but he didn't use professional soldiers during the seven years of war, but a very patriotic American militia instead. (that defines a terrorist today)

The idea here though is, that the u.s. has never been invaded by a foreign country, the use of military force, not with standing, what was 9-11-2001 if not an invasion? imo, the group had to get creative, because of the fact that most civilians in the u.s. are armed.

The majority of the actions taken against Loyalists (Tories) were committed by civilians and not the Continental Army. After the war many left and went to Canada or Great Britain.

And yes, you have been very angry lately. Posting multiple threads a day complaining about this or that. Maybe it's time for a break from politics and city data. Go do something fun.
You musta have skipped American History class in high school.

I find such a comment disrespectful to the person who died from a shell attack and had their weapons on hand. Not once when I went to the WW2 vet wall of those that served , did I see an asterisk indicating. Ohh they were a Democrat and died from being untrainable . Ergo, their fault.

Some of us are not that h3ll bent to kill for anyone. My conscious is not for hire by the govt. Just because a person has a right to something doesn't mean they are required to exercise it . Some citizens don't even vote. Some citizens don't even practice religion.
While it's not a right...some folks don't even practice common sense.

I support the 2A, but you think your AR-15 is going to stop a tank or a helicopter?

However we did have:

WW2- multiple U boat attacks in US waters
WW2- Japanese firebomb attacks on the west coast
Mexican attacks in 1916

Now we have liberals attempting to federalize elections (steal them) and use the FBI and NSA illegally against US citizens.

We are obligated to loyalty to our country, but the government only when they deserve it.
Except the poster I was responding to did bring up 9/11, as for our soil being occupied by foreigners I am well aware that was last time was the Japanese occupations in the Aleutians during WWII.

The steal you speak of was attempted by the former President and his minions not those trying to ensure that existing voting rights are protected from those states who would strip away what has been existing law for decades. We just had 4 years of an administration trying to use Federal Agencies and Departments to find dirt on his enemies so spare me the talk of we are now victims.

I agree we are loyal to our country but we can also extend respect to those in government and act like adults just as they should even if we don't agree with what they are doing.

For starters, Biden essentially threatening to use nuclear weapons and F-15's on U.S. citizens probably scared some people...

If and when the u.s. Army is called upon to squash domestic affairs, for sure the AR-15 would be rendered useless, as life in American would never be the same. Doesn't mean that people won't try to restore it ... just means the resistance would be futile.

Libs- do you now understand the 2nd Amendment?


Of course they understand it. They always have. That's why they have been lying so frantically about it.
