Pisgah Inn Rally this Saturday
Pisgah Inn Rally this Saturday, 10/12 at noon. Caravan at 11 AM.
The Pisgah Inn is re-opened as of today, 10/9. Why? Government has backed down! Across America, citizens are tossing aside the barricades to our monuments and saying ‘enough is enough!’ Let’s make Pisgah Inn the inspiration for other businesses across the country to push back this tyranny perpetrated on ordinary citizens by a vindictive regime. Come to get that message out!
Citizen groups are gathering for this: Veterans, students, business owners, seniors, churches, Oath Keepers – WE THE PEOPLE. Many have worked to get this organized. Please come and join us to send the message that we will not tolerate this selective, vindictive, thuggery of this government to target honest, hard working Americans who still believe in the principles that made our nation great. Do not allow this tyranny to go unanswered. This is bigger than Pisgah Inn shut-down. Shutting down veteran memorials and cemeteries is an outrage. Removing home owners from their residences and targeting free enterprise is a violation of every person’s right to life, liberty and property. What next? Please join We The People. Please share this with your groups.

Please bring an American flag and/or sign. Bring lunch and a drink, but be prepared to patronize the Inn.
Not to rain on anyone’s parade but rallies, protests, sit-ins, etc., are useless efforts if the goal is to get government to change its ways on a permanent basis. That’s not to say there’s not some benefit re: PR, awareness, etc. But to go stand around somewhere for whatever cause for a couple of hours and then go home whilst patting each other on the back for a job well done is a waste of time and money.
The only legal and peaceful way to change the government is starve it of revenue. Which means disengaging from commerce. No commerce, no taxes. No taxes, no revenue. No revenue, well you get the picture.
By engaging in commerce you are feeding the beast. The simple act of going to a rally is in itself engaging in commerce (even if all you do is drive there and back, not to mention the commerce generated if you stop for lunch, generate any waste that someone must be paid to dispose of, stop in a shop along the way and purchase a trinket, or any other sort of commerce that is typical of a weekend trip to the mountains). Yes, going to a rally is to engage in feeding the beast by creating commerce that otherwise would not occur if you simply stayed home.
We could change the course of this nation tomorrow simply by not going to work or otherwise acting in a manner that creates taxable revenue. The CONSENT of the people to engage in tax-generating commerce is the ONLY lifeblood that keeps governments in power. Withdraw that consent and voila, the government will change its ways PDQ.
In the end no one can compel another person to engage in commerce. To choose NOT do so is both peaceful and legal. Of course, since we’ve allowed ourselves to become dependent on others for food, water, warmth, and shelter, along with voluntarily enslaving ourselves in debt, not many folks can simply stay at home. When questioned why, they will say they, “have too much to lose”. Yeah, whatever.
What they’re really saying is, “I don’t know how to survive without relying on others. Worse yet, I’ve allowed myself to become beholden to them in return for my future labor and wages. Thus, I must get up and go to a wage earning/tax generating job each day whether I like it or not.” To those I say, enjoy the diminishing pittance you so dearly cling to. As some of like to report the US dollar has lost ~95% of its purchasing power within my lifetime.
Anyway, it’s supposed to be a gorgeous weekend and I’m sure there will be a lot of enthusiasm for the rally. The locals (and the government) will appreciate taking your money.
The weather is suppose to be great, so why not travel the Blue Ridge. Much better than sitting around home watching football on your overpriced cable. I hope this isn’t hate speech.
I don’t have cable and I don’t watch sports. Though I do practice what I preach, as I will be tending my chickens, weeding my winter crops, hunting to put food on the table, doing repairs around the house and preparing the nursery for the arrival of my daughter which includes a homemade, hand-built crib and cabinet. Much better than most anything else I can think of.
BTW, what is hate speech?
Public protests, or demostrations of unrest, are very powerful influences.
If they were we wouldn’t be in this mess. Is it not obvious that the tools used over the last 30 years have failed?
Actually, Kayser, the rallies and sit-ins and protests over the last 30 to 50 years by the various radical 2% factions that make up the Liberal-Progressives have been VERY effective. You might want to read a little Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” to see the plan. That IS why we are where we are today.
I still disagree. I don’t believe for a moment the liberal protests, sit-ins, etc. have done a thing. The world elite have put us where are today and we would be where are whether those liberal events happened or not. Don’t mistake correlation for causation.
after listening to the capos of the d.c. criminals spewing their immoral deals.listen to some truth. protest the right way.this one’s for you kayser;
Hal, thanks for the link. Every word was exactly what I’ve been saying since 2007. The only thing I would have emphasized is my bit about disengaging from commerce on a grander scale. Excellent link.
Quote of the day:
“I’ve heard from liberals and I’ve heard from conservatives. I’ve heard all of them, from everybody. They all have said the same thing, every one of them. Don’t give up. Fight tyranny. That tells me that if someone threw a match in the middle of the country it would explode right now.”

Um, you do realize it was the far right wackos who closed the government, right? Vindictive regime? Dude, get back in touch with reality! You can’t take the government hostage and then blame Obama for not paying paying ransom.
Frankly, it makes you look like a fool.
Step outside of your conspiratorial vacuum and look at the facts ok?
YEs, the right wing are the ones persecuting employees of the government for talking to the press. The list goes on and on. Your blindness to the tyranny in the WH is amusing buy sad.
Please provide proof that one party or the other caused the shutdown. Neither side has been willing to negotiate. It’s a classic “Mexican standoff”.
The GOP has passed no fewer than 5 bills to open government. The Democrats in the Senate refuse to negotiate and refuse to even vote on funding bills.
Your spin is hillarious. This is the Democrat shutdown of 2013. Period.
Well, let me clarify. It’s not even a “shutdown”. Government is still open. This is a temporary 15% reduction in government spending on non-essential services. Hell, Obama is probably spending more money on security personnel closing down open air venues than would be need to just keep them open.
Look out. Now you two have gone and make Christian swear!
Don’t make me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry. 🙂
What, pray tell, did the government do to the Pisgah Inn that warrents such platitudes and lack of substance in a commentary?
In 17 prior shutdowns, including under Bill Clinton’s administration, private business and properties have not been treated the way they have under this administration during the current shutdown. That said, Obama appears to be withing his rights to do what’s been done, however, it shows a serious lack of empathy that other Democratic and Republican administrations understood were more important to the PR side of politics. Shutting the parks and private businesses down and kicking old folks out of their homes was political grandstanding in an effort to get people to blame his adversaries. It backfired and he looks like an a**hole for having done so. Just because its legal doesn’t always make it smart.
Never mind, I saw the story. Conservatives are whining and rallying about the closure of an inn caused by their own actions. I guess in addition to being dumber than a box of rocks, the average conservative is a hypocrite, too.
Zon what do you think of letting the wetbacks use the mall, and at the same time turning WW2 vets away from the DC WW2 memorial? And of course the President’s golf course remains open, but he doesn’t have the balls (non golf) to go play on it.
Republicans passed bills to keep it open. Democrats refuse to debate or vote on them in the Senate. Who exactly is causing the closure? LOL. You have absolutely no leg to stand on here. President says “give me everything I want, then I’ll negotiate”. I don’t think he understands what that word means.

@ Christian: Ptthhh! In bilateral talks in August the Speaker of the House promised to provide a clean CR and Debt Ceiling increase in exchange for $70 billion in cuts. Then reneged on it at the last minute and wanted the President’s signature legislation repealed in addition. That’s not passing bills, it’s playing fantasy games. But don’t my account, according to the Wall Street Journal poll out this week, 70% of Americans see it my way. And less than 30% approve of the Republican Party. In fact, 52% of REPUBLICANS disapprove of the Republican Party.
Y’all sit in these echo chambers telling each other your farts don’t stink and see yourselves as Defenders of the Republic! The rest of us think you’re certifiable lunatics more concerned with winning than governing.
See and there you go pissing on yourself. Calling someone a certifiable lunatic, even tongue in cheek, doesn’t do anyone any good.
Who says it’s tongue and cheek?
So which is it? Are you a doctor and Christian is your patient, or did you steal his medical records and are now revealing his personal medical information, or are you just childishly calling people names?
I’m not referring to Christian per se. I like Christian, and I like you, too. I’m referring to the politically lunatic things the Conservative fringe (I guess you could characterize as the Tea Party) is doing. Economies are hard enough to keep moving forward as it is without a small minority holding it hostage with ideological obstructionism. But the lunacy is that the vast majority of Americans, along with the rest of the industrialized world, reject the extreme conservative approach and they keep doing the same things while saying everyone else is just wrong. And what makes me angry is now they are bringing down all conservatives and running moderates out of the party. The kicker is the people they running off they deride as impure RINO’s and Libtards, further isolating the party.
The irony is they whine about the so called Socialist Democrats, then do things to lose elections to them. The actions of the Republicans over the last month has Democratic operatives everywhere jumping with joy.
LOL. Polls. Let’s look at the crosstabs…
The respondents of this poll voted for Obama 44-35 and yet by a 43-38 margin believe Obamacare is a “total bad idea”.
The only thing we’re losing on is rhetoric.
Certifiable lunatics? Yes, how dare we look at human history and decide to champion the individual freedom over the collective of state. After all, look at all the successful stories of statism throughout the ages! Forget the failed economies and mass murders. You know, the little things. Why yes, I see it clearly now, we need a new monarchy and Zon can lead us to salvation!!
I’ve never understood how liberals can think people are too stupid to take care of themselves, but that people (after winning an election or being appointed to a bureaucrat position) are suddenly capable of telling others how to run their lives.
Tell you what, if you like big government controlling your life, there are plenty of countries available to choose from already practicing it. MOVE THERE. Let us have one left where those of us that want to live in freedom can do so.
Platitudes and rhetoric are obstacles to finding solutions to complex problems. In the case of the Tea Party, it’s all they have. Since when did the issue at hand, funding the government and paying our bills, have anything to do with the Federal Government controlling your life? The Federal Government does not, has not, and will not control your life beyond enforcing laws enacted by a majority of elected representation. And suggesting otherwise only reinforces the notion that conservative movement adherents have lost touch with reality (see the aforementioned comment on echo chambers) and are aching for a fight for the sake of the fight.
My ancestors helped wrest control of this land from the British and I have no intention of leaving it so a bunch of ideological half-witted lunatics can turn it into an abomination of democracy. I choose to fight for sanity and reason.
“The Federal Government does not, has not, and will not control your life beyond enforcing laws enacted by a majority of elected representation.”
When there are some many laws (what, 80k plus?) that no reasonable person can be expected to know them, much less follow them; when the laws are so complex and lengthy that even those who write and enact them don’t read or understand them; when the laws are written purposefully such that un-elected bureaucrats make law on-the-fly post-passage as part of the rules process; and, when the laws are ghost written by lobbyists and crony-capitalists who draft them to their benefit (and not the people). . . then do we have a lawful or lawless society?
In this instance are the laws really enacted by a majority of elected representation?
“Since when did the issue at hand, funding the government and paying our bills, have anything to do with the Federal Government controlling your life?”
Since 1913. Taking my property via coercion is theft.
“an abomination of democracy.”
Last time I checked we are not a democracy.
A Republic if you can keep it. You know Kayser control of food is next after control of healthcare. It’s not right that you prepared and others less fortunate didn’t. They will confiscate your produce next and redistribute it.
No one voted to have the freedom of religion removed from the bill of rights. However, Christians who oppose the slaughter of innocent life must now pay, through Obamacare, to support this holocaust. Example 1 of thousands where the Federal Government has assumed control of my life by enforcing laws enacted without the consent of the governed.
Your vote is your consent and signifies your acceptance of the system. Voting is the singular VOLUNTARY act of consent. Every other act could be argued to be submission, but voting is consent.
Disagreeing a bit with KS, voting is how those in powers let you imagine you have some influence over the situation. So you complain about not voting for something while KS says voting signifies consent. I say, it is a method to keep the people compliant by letting them imagine they are still in control. Notice what Nancy Pelosi said about the Constitution when ObamaCare was being enacted. Notice the uproar when the ability of the left to twist elections to their advantage is slowed.
Lewis, name any other voluntary action that signifies consent versus submission to the status quo?
And yes, I agree that “voting is how those in powers let you imagine you have some influence over the situation”. However, the people do have the legal, peaceful means to control the situation, they just won’t do it. That being, quit engaging in commerce that creates taxable transactions.
“‘Finding solutions to complex problems” ”
That’s the problem with you Zon. What you liberals on the far left think is so complex is really easy to understand for most human beings. A pile of dung stinks Zon unless you libs decide that it would better serve the the government coffers to convince the masses that it smells ok.
