I just received this from a fellow poster, quite a bad-a** himself, and had to share....

The guy's name was Samuel Whittlemore.

He was born in 1696 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He was already pushing 50 when he joined Colonel Jeremiah Moulton’s Third Massachusetts Regiment and fought in King George’s War (1744–1748).
It’s not clear whether he fought in the French and Indian War (1754–1763), but evidence suggests that he did. He would have been 67 years old when he participated in an expedition against Chief Pontiac in 1763. In between wars, he was a peaceful farmer near the present-day town of Arlington, Massachusetts.
Most people’s glory days are long behind them when they become a septuagenarian. But not Samuel Whittlemore. Far from it.

April 19, 1775. Samuel, still hale and hearty even at the ripe old age of 78, was out working in his fields on a beautiful spring day. He looked up and spotted a column of British soldiers returning to Boston after the battles of Lexington and Concord. Samuel had no doubt heard the shots in the distance that morning—American m*****amen sniping at the British from behind trees and rocks and stone walls as they marched.
Now, despite having fought for the British Crown for most of his life, Samuel Whittlemore was a staunch proponent of American independence. He didn’t want his grandchildren to be subject to the whims and unjust laws of a distant king.

So it’s no surprise what he did next.

Samuel threw down his hoe, ran to his house, and grabbed his trusty musket. He flung himself down behind a stone wall and, judging the timing just right, reared up and fired, ambushing the British Grenadiers of the 47th Regiment of Foot single-handedly. He k**led a redcoat with his first shot. The perilous old Samuel jumped up, drew his dueling pistols, and laid waste, k*****g a second redcoat and mortally wounding a third. By that time, the British were upon him. Samuel tossed his pistols in the dirt and drew his sword.

When the dust settled, Samuel Whittlemore had been shot in the face, bayoneted 19 times, and left for dead in a pool of his own blood. Nearby minutemen found him a short while later…not only still alive, but trying to reload.

He was immediately packed off to a doctor, who gravely pronounced that he had no chance of survival. Samuel Mutha-Humpin’ Whittlemore, 100% grade-A prime American badass, not only recovered, but lived another 18 years. He died on February 2, 1793, at the age of 96. Just a month later, George Washington was sworn in for his second term as the President of the United States of America, a country that Samuel Whittlemore had almost died to help create. Samuel holds the distinction of being the oldest man known to have participated in the American Revolutionary War.

They just don’t make ’em like that anymore, people.

P.S. I'm pretty sure ol' Sam had been a USMC reservist.

If Trump loses it's going to be on their conscience!!! They need to look at the bigger picture......Do they want to live in Socialist America where government tells you what to do with your money???? Or do you want to live in Capitalist America where you do what you want with your own money??? I pick the latter!! But if cowards helps Dems to get rid of Trump you deserve what's coming to you!!! Just hold your nose and stand with our President!!!!

How To Start A Civil War

By Ray DiLorenzo ~ Oct 19, 2019, ~ CFP

(A****a will use the e******n as a call to arms...literally. They have spent several years probing on what they can get away with, and it has been considerable.)

The Democrat Party has made a fateful decision. They’ve decided to safeguard all that is left of their power and the progressive movement they have worshiped at the cost of the existence of the nation they have sworn an oath to preserve.

The Democrats, after 160 years, have once again resolved that they will not accept the e******n of a president decided by a legal and Constitutional process. Their crusade to oust our president started in 2016 and will probably climax in 2020. This time they will not accept separation, only control…a true civil war!

Sixties flower children finally took over the Democrat Party, they sought not to create a more perfect union, but to destroy it

Many of us saw that it would eventually come to this. And it is nowhere. The party of love and peace is now the party of war, h**e, conformity and subservience. If you wear a MAGA hat, they no longer accord you a flower but deliver spittle. If Trump removes troops from zones of endless warfare between followers of the ‘religion of peace’, they no longer applaud but show contempt. Endless wars serve their purpose. MAGA hats do not. If you speak out against their narrative, they attempt to shut you down. To them, the Constitution is a constant irritant.

A rock musician of the sixties put it well. “In the sixties, we thought we could change the world. In the seventies, we found we couldn’t even change ourselves, so we went for the money.”

The money has now found a voracious partner…power.

When the sixties flower children finally took over the Democrat Party, the intention, as it turned out, was never to offer a solution to our social and domestic problems, but to destroy everything in their path to show and ‘prove’ to the world that our system does not work. They sought not to create a more perfect union, but to destroy it. In other words, establish change by creating chaos, blame others, and then demand a solution that they will dictate.

Almost every major city run by Democrats is in shambles either by crime or blight, or both
Almost every major city run by Democrats is in shambles either by crime or blight, or both. Our culture has deteriorated to a point where nearly every form of degeneracy is now considered normal and healthy. Our Judeo-Christian culture is looked upon with disfavor and secular, godless humanism with approval. Unchecked, uncontrolled migration has given us disease, crime, near-bankrupt cities, v***r f***d in the millions, terrorists waiting for orders, and a dilution of our culture only a sinister group could have thought of.

The news corporations no longer deliver news, but pure propaganda. They have abandoned their charge, taken sides and are determined to see the nation’s t***sformation to its conclusion.

With the help of Marxist teachers and educators, our education system is now more reminiscent of re-education camps than centers of learning. It has become so widespread that most children leave home as innocent models of their parents’ values and return as belligerent little know-it-alls that defy every decent ethic they were taught at home. When asked a question they drone outlines of prepared elocution.

Do not be deceived, they are not being taught Progressivism, or Democratic Socialism, and certainly not traditional liberalism. They are being taught full-on Marxist C*******m with a F*****t twist.

When President Trump wins re-e******n, I predict the Left will go totally unhinged
The big question is…now what? The Democrats know they have a very slim chance of winning in 2020, so they and their partners in the media are pulling out all the stops. They will destroy this president any way they can. Trump is right, they don’t want him, they want us, and he is in the way.

When President Trump wins re-e******n, I predict the Left will go totally unhinged. They will neither accept it nor allow it. It will make no difference if Trump should win the popular v**e. If Trump wins only the E*******l College, there will be an outrage heard around the world and…There Will Be Blood, especially in the big Democrat cities. They will run roughshod, destroying everything they can find. The media will feed the violence and continue their narrative that the r****t has again won the White House, their rampage justified.

A****a will use the e******n as a call to arms…literally. They have spent several years probing on what they can get away with, and it has been considerable.

Preserve the Union against a demonic domestic enemy long asking for their comeuppance
If Trump should lose, the Right will never believe that he lost fair and square. A strong suspicion of v***r f***d and corruption will take hold, feeding millions with a sense of finally needing to preserve the Union against a demonic domestic enemy long asking for their comeuppance. Their patience at an end. Every action will be met with at least an equal reaction. It could easily snowball to what I fear to predict.

If, before the e******ns, the Barr and Durham investigations show what many suspect, an attempted c**p, organized by the FBI, intelligence services, and others from the highest levels of government, the indictments will begin descending. The initial silence from these politicians/deep-state-criminals will be deafening. The next sounds heard will either be the reading of their rights, the he-made-me-do-it finger-pointing, or the quick glancing toward their blind, ignorant, well-indoctrinated followers the order…Charge! We pray everyone will come to their senses.

When there is nothing left to talk about, it becomes a case of doing rather than saying.

I call your "poppycock" and raise you one balderdash

I quote a meme posted by Bdamage this morning that I think fits OPP so well, if not people in general:

"Most people don't really want the t***h. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the t***h."

Anthony Scaramucci says President Donald Trump’s “meltdown” is going to get a whole lot worse.
On Wednesday night, the former White House communications director said that Trump was looking at his future “and the future does not look good for him.”
“As more facts unfold about Syria, as more facts unfold about the people that have been arrested recently, and the conjoinment of all those issues over there, it’s going to be devastating for the president,” he said.
Scaramucci also predicted that Republicans in the Senate will soon turn on Trump and force him out.
“The criminal activity will be so great that the GOP, and there will be 20-plus senators who’ll say, ‘OK, I can’t take this anymore,’” he said.
Trump will then face a moment like President Richard Nixon did in 1974: Republicans in the Senate will break the news to him that he’s got to go or else he’ll lose an impeachment trial.
“That will eventually happen,” Scaramucci said. “And that’s the reason why he’s pressurized.”
