Common Sense 319 – A Recipe for Caesar

[Xenophon]

The place to look for Cincinnatus is not in Washington

The place to find him is in the mirror

Cincinnatus was more than a rifleman. I'm not sure each man can presume to be Cincinnatus, if the established order has mechanisms to make sure that Cincinnatus stays at his farm.

Now the Black Swan is here

Temporary external threat

Good training

The National Command Authority does not protect me, I protect them, by giving them freedom of action

Well Regulated Militia, stand to, stand to

Every man a Cincinnatus

Which would be fine except the population despises half of the National Command Authority at any given time, while the National Command Authority fights itself and prevents itself from working in an efficient fashion.

We are the strong, our role is to protect the weak,

can't save them from themselves,

but we can lift the burden on the system so someone else can change their diapers for them

E Pluribus Unum

America is a Religion

Shot Heard Round The World

One man, one kit, one rifleman, can change the course of history

America is faith based

You have to have faith

The God of the Hebrews is with us, always

Don't look for a Caesar to save you

Be Cincinnatus

Save yourself to save the republic

Nothing else matters

Secret American True Believers behind enemy lines, can spot a Secret Canadian from a mile away, they are easy to spot when you are surrounded.

Nothing else matters

I'm not looking for a savior. I already have one of those, who is infinitely more reliable than any worldly organization or individual.

I'm just looking for a smidgeon of honesty from the government. Even just a little would be a nice change of pace.

My daily objective is to help my family maintain their security, whatever personal cost that comes. All my actions are subservient to that objective.

No time for that now

DEFCON 1

White men of yore

Walk tall, no fears on earth, with a military bearing, plain spoken gunfighters, no chattering class
