The Battle of Athens

A little while ago I said that I was going to educate myself and become active in securing my 2nd Amendment rights. Iwannausername suggested that I read about the Battle of Athens, Tennessee. It was a very interesting read. In particular the fact that "Governor McCord mobilized the State Guard, perhaps to scare the GIs into withdrawing. The State Guard never went to Athens. McCord may have feared that Guard units filled with ex-GIs might not fire on other ex-GIs."

An armed revolt against tyranny in a small town. WW11 Vets that had enough. This is what we need now.
If you think that is what we need now, why don't you do it? Instead of just being a keyboard commando.

LMAO @ the GB [:o)]
Such that they can no longer be corrupt or prevail...
They will try to persuade the undecided that the non-corrupt are in fact...
The enemy...
Crying out to those who are yet to decide that "they", the corrupt, are the way to the future.
Knowledge of history can and will promote the future... Corruption can not detour that.
Regardless of their power over the non-corrupt or undecided...
So... When it's time... The non-corrupt will prevail.
The corrupt can't change that... Future.

He said NOW. Not when it comes time.... Real easy for all you keyboard commandos to call for something, but never actually do anything.
THanks for posting this. O had seen it before, but it's one of those videos that cannot be shown enough. Good stuff for history teachers rather than agenda teachers.
My granddaughter is taking US history this year. Her teacher liked this video and is actually is going to show it on friday. This teacher of her's actually seems to wants to teach. Her teacher's father is KIA from VN. She wants me to bring my medals and anything else from VN I have for a show and tell for the class. That should be interesting. I will have to bring pictures of weapons since I cannot actually bring a 45, AR, AK or a M-1/M14 to the school. I have lots of pics from VN.

So just what would you do, throw a happy Parade and start kicking and screaming like a little girl until you got your way?

I would not say something stupid like: This is what we need now. And then not actually do anything. All you keyboard commandos are the same. Just like you guys that are afraid of happy people, nothing but bluster and paranoid fear.

Thank God for comedians! U really should have your own show in Vegas. U R so funny I almost peed myself.
Amazing how a simple little YouTube video about an event in history and people want to start an argument and start acting all childish. m1aguy why not stay off my post from now on. No one wants your BS around here anyway. Go troll over on the PETA web site.
Why would he troll the PETA website? He's probably a high-ranking member over there.[;)]

You know that you just got him all excited with that comment don't you!
Now he's the one. "Keyboard Commandoing" [:D]
A significant fact is missing in this conversation. The "militia" was not "revolting" nor did it instigate anything. The issue was a group of people had unlawfully removed the ballot boxes, aparently with intent to change election results. The "militia" was merely stepping in to prevent that violation. It was merely reacting, not moving on it's own initiative. Those posting that the "vets" now need to get froggy are overlooking the issue that by "revolting" they would be the ones violating the law. Give due process a try.
On the other hand form a militia today and take on something like vote fraud (for sake of argument lats say vote fraud is happening someplace) and they would label the militia paranoid conspiracy theorists. Game over before it starts.
