NO TIME FOR TIMIDITY

Patience is NOT a virtue if it means doing nothing. 

I’m tired of hearing, “we need to have a conversation about (fill in the blank).”  We already know the problems; it’s long past time for action, and more importantly for results.

I’m tired of hearing, “we can count on the silent majority.”  It’s silence that has us in this fix to begin with.

The reality is, we are at the cliff’s edge of losing America as we know it.  Each person within this nation is on the verge of losing the collective and individual freedoms as we know them.  As the saying goes, “the squeaking wheel gets the grease,” and the Progressive Marxist Left has been “squeaking” for decades.  Their relentless, insidious efforts have paid off for them while way too many of us placed our focus elsewhere, thinking the Progressive Marxist Left will someday just go away.  

Well they won’t go away — not now, nor in the future.  No more can any of us take for granted our freedoms and way of life.  As a Veteran, I vividly recall the definition of war, “to overwhelm the enemy with such force that they lose the will to fight.”  News flash, America — “We the People,” are the enemy according to the Progressive Marxist Left. 

 As a U.S. Military Active Duty Soldier, I willingly and freely took an oath that reads in part, “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; . . . SO HELP ME GOD.”  As a Veteran and Citizen of this great nation, I will always hold fast to that oath.  It is my belief that many elected politicians and un-elected bureaucrats in this nation, not to mention many of its citizens, should be charged with treason, and there is plenty of evidence to convict them of treason.  We must keep our eyes on the prize; A FREE AMERICA AND A FREE PEOPLE, as well as our jobs, bills, time with family, and other worthy endeavors. 

I love and applaud our President on all fronts, especially “draining the swamp.”  But is it solely President Trump’s responsibility to drain the swamp?  No!  It’s each one of us who need to drain the swamp.  And, the “swamp” is in the federal government, state government, and locally, in our own back yard.  As a Believer, I am to actively resist evil in all its works and ways.  And as an American Patriot, I am to actively resist anything, anyone, any group of people, and any other nation who want to take down America.  I love God, my family, America, my Fellow Patriots, the Constitution of the United States, and the collective and individual freedoms we have thereof. 

No, it’s not time for silence, nor more words; it’s time for ACTION and RESULTS.  And there is NO TIME FOR TIMIDITY.  “I walk through the valley of federal, state, and local government intimidation, coercion, tyranny, and death, and I FEAR NO EVIL.”  There’s the Progressive Marxist Left, the intimidated compliant sheep, and the American Patriots.  If you haven’t already, it’s time to make a choice. 

STAND TOGETHER FOR FREEDOM

Protesting in Ravalli

What do lawful protests look like? No permit is required.

There are two laws under Montana code that are used to address protests in Ravalli: Disorderly Conduct and Failure of Disorderly Persons to Disperse.

Permits

No city in Ravalli county requires a permit to protest.

Unlawful Assembly

The state of Montana manages protests through their code on disorderly conduct.

Fines and jail time can apply if convicted of disorderly conduct. See subsections 2-4 for details.

Failure to Disperse State Code

Protests are also managed through Montana’s code on Failure of Disorderly Persons to Disperse.

Who can order individuals to disperse?

  • Peace officer
  • Judge
  • Mayor

Fines and potential time in the county jail may apply if convicted.

This is America

This is America, not China, and don’t we all want it to stay that way? We must stand firmly in the defense of liberty.

A mask mandate, or any other health mandate that violates an individual’s right to control his or her own health, is a slippery slope toward tyrrany. 

God-given inalienable rights mean that we as individuals are responsible for our own health. No one can mandate whether or not we wear a mask, receive a vaccine, a forced abortion, or sterilization. Individual freedom must be preserved and held inviolate.

While we appreciate the knowledge gained by dedicated medical professionals, they must be kept in their proper place.

Advise away, but NEVER mandate.

Our national motto is not, “In Experts We Trust”. Nope. Sorry. Their combined understanding is but a drop in the ocean compared to the omniscience of our Great Creator. 

When dictators, or even a panel of experts, are allowed to enforce their highly educated opinions on the masses, disaster ensues. Unintended consequences are worse than what they were trying to prevent. There is simply no greater formula than freedom. And no wiser course than to trust in the Lord.

We are standing up to the mask mandate and any other other health mandate. We are standing up for freedom.
