If we were under attack...

First of all, I don't expect my opinion to be popular. I am only putting it out because I feel it is important for all of us to give it some thought. I am positive their are others who have had this go through their mind at one time or another.

As many of us realize, the United States is not somehow immune to tyrrany. That although God has blessed us so far, we are only a couple of steps away from what we have watched and read about around the world.

As our government has grown larger, it has also grown farther and farther away from the individual.

As much as we would love to think that the constitution's "rules" regarding our government still stand, the fact is, we have little say so anymore in what our government does or decides.

Even when the government makes decisions that are totally distressful to the majority of us (Obamacare), there is little we can do about it (be honest).

So, how many steps are we away from losing all control?

Unlike a lot of the conspiracy theorist's out there, I do not believe in the New World Order. But, I do believe that power has gotten into the head of our government. Democrat or Republican, both sides.

Our constitution states; For the people, by the people. It is no longer that way. Sorry. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their collective graves.

So anyways.....

My post is not about what happened in Watertown. I am going back and forth in my mind regarding how I feel about what happened there with regards to the overwhelming force. There are many out there in the WWW who feel that the government overstepped it's ground.

I am merely using it as an example of what could happen.


After seeing the pictures and videos of Watertown after the Boston bombing, I got to wondering.

In my opinion, if we, the citizens of the US were under threat from our government, if there were “squads” like those seen in Watertown, everywhere, I think most people would shit their pants.

Unlike many countries in the world, the people of the US are soft.

Could you honestly imagine seeing your neighbors outside, shooting down guys in military uniforms?

Yes, it is easy to imagine, dream a little dream, sound tough and mean, behind your computer screen.

But, what if it were real?

Ok, I know from what I have heard, the people in the Boston area are not exactly the toughest. A lot of them were seriously scared shitless by the whole thing.

Can you really say that a majority of the people here in the US are much different?

There are a lot of countries in this world where the people grow up around war in one form or another.

Massive street riots. Shootings, pipe bombs, being beat unmercifully, yet they keep coming back for more.

Children are seen regularly carrying guns, looking more grown up for their age.

Not here. Except for some pretty rough parts of town (even then, I'm sure some would cower), the most people here have experienced, is a really scary movie.

The people back in the civil war and pre civil war days had guts. Those guts have gradually been bred out.

Have many of us have thought about this?

How many of us honestly believe we would be able to fight against our military, if it came to that?

I for one am very happy that our country has been at peace for so long. But, has that peace inadvertently created a people that may not have what it takes?

On a side note, another question:

Where do we the citizens go, if another country decides to start bombing the hell out of us? Huh?

You can bet your bottom dollar the people in power have a place to go. They will be protected in the case of war.

But, not since the end of the cold war, have we been "instructed" as to what to do in case of attack. Do you know where your nearest bomb shelter is?

When is the last time you saw a public service message explaining where to go?

Where would you go if bombs started raining down?
