Went sailing out of SF Bay today, out past the golden gate, prepping for a sail to Hawaii this spring hopefully. I didn’t see the news about DC until probably 5 pm PST. Viewed many different web sites, watched Tucker and a bit of Hannity, and flipped the TV off to see interviews online and read threads about the events as they happened. I feel like I am no longer fitting into the American landscape,

First I thought the people pushing and even fighting their way into a public building were hero’s. Then I read some may have been lead in by antifa types looking to make Trump look bad and I thought so what? These people are protesting a serious flaw in our system / of governance. Who cares if they break a public buildings window, who cares if a door is busted and then I read about Ms. Babbit and see the video of her shooting, why did any officer feel the need to take that shot? What threat was she? Was she armed? IDK

My take on this is simple. A felon pops a lot of drugs, passes bad checks, runs into an idiot cop and we have lots of dead people, billions in private property damage, “mostly” peaceful (BS) protests and endorsements of all that by the media, socialist politicians and the Hollywood crap artists. It generated billions yes billions for “BLM” and they used it to steal the White House and senate. Another felon, rapes his wife, and then at gun point reaches into his vehicle and gets shot. More riots, more dead, more looting and billions more lost and given to BLM. Plenty of support from socialist and the rest.

Now 12 hours from the time Mrs Babbit is killed it’s due to a presidential election fraud, disbelief and worthy mostly peaceful protest. The results are in. Not one conservative pundit, not one Republican, and not one interview do I see where by anyone is standing up and saying these people in DC and Mrs. Babbitt were right! I do. They were right to protest, fight, disrupt and challenge the fraud challenging the Republic. Why is no one publicly stating this? It’s infuriating !

First off, I want to say that I am very, very jealous of your marvelous life. I wish I could go sailing.

Now, to the point of the matter. We aren't dead. America isn't dead. It is gravely wounded, but it isn't dead.

You fit into the American landscape just fine. It's the new landscape that doesn't fit into you. And it definitely isn't American. So the question is do you defend or run away. We all need to ask ourselves that question.

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government.

You are correct, the landscape does not fit into me as well.

As to your question...Yes, I'll defend. No question about that. But I plan to retreat far enough away so not to be bothered.

America has a terminal disease. It's as good as dead.
