I hate her. She’s crazy.

Like a fox.

Ann, if you weren’t so damn kickass, I would find you absolutely drop dead attractive. As it is, I think we should go kick some arse some time. As to the income tax and the whole fight the feds thing.

Welcome to the war. I have outstanding federal liens on me for past tax disputes. I refuse to pay and they keep sending me bills that I refuse to pay. Been working now for about 4 years under the table. I work as an independent contractor as a superintendent building projects and doing things like commercial tenant improvements.

Anywho, the way I look at it, the federal government allows the illegal aliens, the undocumented useful idiot Democrats, to get away with not funding the federal government, so I am just following their lead. I of course cannot become an employee, otherwise the feds just seize parts of my pay because when you fill out all the crud as an employee, they get you roped into their bureaucracy.

The only way forward, IMO, is to make them irrelevant. We have to as a large and unified group tell them to piss off. About 1 million people actually signed the secession petitions. Just imagine how many people have not even heard about that? I would say at least 1 in 20 to 30 would sign such a petition if presented with it. Remember, in our founding only a very small percentage had the balls to stand up and be counted. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the coming battle.

In nomine patri et filli et spiritus sancti

I don’t know that I could do what Ann is doing. But God bless her for having the spine to not only speak out, but walk the walk as well. God bless you, Ann Barnhardt.

Until I hear otherwise, I credit Ann Barnhardt with popularizing the notion that it is unmanly to wear a sports shirt with another man’s name on it.

Now if she could just popularize the notion that white kids wearing black socks with sneakers look like little old men.

Time for all conservatives of this country to have a Spartacus moment.

BFH. WTHeck man. You need a thicker NY accent my brother. Throw out some “Fuggidaboutits” and such.

Hang in there Ann. You have people praying for you.

Ann is going about this the wrong way. While I applaud her ideology and withdrawl from mainstream enterprise to meet her religious objective. I’m a little lost as to why she’s kicking the hornet nest to begin with.

It seems better if she would settle her current issues and move on, I say this because she’s paid into the system thus far, just get out. There’s little point in dragging a stone down the path of salvation. Just settle and move on, teach others how to live similarly, you can still starve the government.

It’s kind of like being the lone gun rights advocate… Everybody (thinking) agrees with you but nobody else has the balls to do anything and the BATF shows up and beats down your door and murders you and/or your children then the complicit news organizations depict you as a nut that needed killing, imprisonment… etc. etc. They are not idiots. They will get us one at a time and everybody else will sit on their sofa HOPING that they aren’t next. God bless you Ann.

See that expression on my avatar? That’s because my testicles are slowly, excruciatingly decending.
I know my time is coming, but I have no idea when. I will have to give up everything I worked for, everything I have saved for my and my familie’s future, and join. I just don’t know when my limit will be reached. I am preparing for every possible scenario I can imagine.
I’m not an Ann Barnhardt or a Friedrich Bonhoeffer, but I know I am not a sheep.

BFH, did you buy your recording equipment from Edgar Hoover or Mr. Pinko?

HEY! I would never give up this Mr. Pinko

Menderman, they don’t make adequate tub recording devices. -bfh

@Menderman I forgive him for recording it on an 8 track he borrowed from his mom.

What we need for a tax strike to work is a nationally known leader to promote it. Washington risked his life and fortune for what was right…You listening Rush?

“She’s crazy.”

That’s what a friend of mine said. He’s a professor. I’ve told him “Really? I come all of her writings on theology and politics cohere PERFECTLY with Reason then?”

He replied: Keep me posted about what is happening to her.

Yes, she is one the most important person alive in America now.

Ann holds the mirror that we all desperately need to look into.
Immortal Soul > Stuff

I have listened and watched Ann ever since the great koran-burning video came out.
I was born ball-less due to the fact that I am female, but I am learning to grow a pair and take a stand on issues that matter.
While I haven’t taken the great steps that Ann has done, I have done small ones which include cancelling mindless cable networks, boycotting liberal business and spreading the word to family and friends about the state of our country and what is at stake.
I was blessed to be born in a large Catholic family and we look after each other. We are all Conservatives to the core.
I can say my weapon of choice is my Rosary and I keep Ann and all those who love this country in prayer and ask God for protection.
God Bless you Ann !

What is a “Three Percenter”?

During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King’s tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists. They were in turn actively supported by perhaps 10% of the population. In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored their cause but did little or nothing to support it. Another one-third of the population sided with the King (by the end of the war there were actually more Americans fighting FOR the King than there were in the field against him) and the final third took no side, blew with the wind and took what came.

Three Percenters today do not claim that we represent 3% of the American people, although we might. That theory has not yet been tested. We DO claim that we represent at least 3% of American gun owners, which is still a healthy number somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million people. History, for good or ill, is made by determined minorities. We are one such minority. So too are the current enemies of the Founders’ Republic. What remains, then, is the test of will and skill to determine who shall shape the future of our nation.

The Three Percent today are gun owners who will not disarm, will not compromise and will no longer back up at the passage of the next gun control act. Three Percenters say quite explicitly that we will not obey any futher circumscription of our traditional liberties and will defend ourselves if attacked. We intend to maintain our God-given natural rights to liberty and property, and that means most especially the right to keep and bear arms. Thus, we are committed to the restoration of the Founders’ Republic, and are willing to fight, die and, if forced by any would-be oppressor, to kill in the defense of ourselves and the Constitution that we all took an oath to uphold against enemies foreign and domestic.

We are the people that the collectivists who now control the government should leave alone if they wish to continue unfettered oxygen consumption. We are the Three Percent. Attempt to further oppress us at your peril. To put it bluntly, leave us the hell alone. Or, if you feel froggy, go ahead AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

I thought, I had faith, intellect, principles, convictions and balls of steel.

Listening to Ann, I am left wanting.

To paraphrase from the movie “Gandhi” “Ann, I know that you are right, but I don’t know if this is right.”

I don’t want you in jail. I don’t think it will accomplish anything. But then again, you seem to be doing this for yourself, and your own sense of salvation. I can’t argue with you and won’t.

I’m not a religious person in any traditional sense, nor am I an atheist. I am an Idon’tknowist. So I can’t relate to your religious convictions guiding your principles on this. But I admire that you have them and are willing to put everything on the line for them.

I don’t know what to say. I just hate the idea of you in jail. And it’s not because you look like my mom and sister. (Barnhard must be from the same family tree as Barnhardt)

I support you. But I’m not really sure what that means right now.

We don’t tolerate that effeminate crap in my family.

Individuals who stand up to the government will be dealt with and taken down by the government. It is going to take thousands or millions of men in a civil war. There doesn’t seem to be enough men who are willing to risk death in order to preserve freedom. But if you get a big enough group of people with the courage to fight, others will join.
Men are wired to be dangerous; it is society that has ruined the last few generations.
People are way too comfortable today to get up off their lazy asses and fight, physically fight for the freedom of their grandchildren. When that comfort has been taken away from them, then they will start thinking about the natural instinct of survival. They had better hang on tight to their guns or there will be no way to fight.

Ann Barnhardt is a hero, a godly woman with the courage of a thousand men.

Ann, I pray that you will win your legal battles, and that men will soon leave their comfort zone and take up the natural masculinity and protectiveness that the Good Lord gave them.

I am not one of the neutered. I would like to be part of the army that it will take to get the government out of our business and back under the control of the People.

AAron (or Anne),

You are way off base. You must be a newcomer to Ann Barnhardt…Ann is a Leader in every sense o the word.

I amm proud to say I met Ann several months ago in Knoxville, TN when she made a multi-state tour. What a treat that was! She even had her Pink AR with her.
Ann has stepped up to the rampart and I am ashamed that I’m not there. Since she mentioned the Three Percenters, I would recomend that IOTW readers go online and learn about them. As a Three Percenter, my path will take me in a different direction. My only regret is the sad physical condition my body has fell into. Not good for frontline duty, but stand I must. I leave you all with this quote.

“It is not ours to restore the Constitution. It is ours to show them the wrath of the American people without the protections the Constitution affords them. Let them restore the Constitution to find protection from us.”
TL Davis

Now go get ‘em!

One thing is crystal-clear: the second ANYTHING bad happens to Ann, CW2 begins.

I genuinely think Ann is becoming a saint, and we are blessed to know of her.

Thank you Ann. God bless you.

You are one in ten million Ann. Do not dispair, not only is HE with you, a lot of us are too.

I did want to thank Bigfurhat for doing this interview. I don’t think he was comfortable doing it for several reasons. However, he did respectfully challenge Ann. I think that needed to be done. It’s important. So kudos to him for doing it.

I appreciate Ann for being gracious, honest, humble and not overbearing, when it would be easy to be that way under the circumstances.

I do like it when people I admire are challenged. You learn a lot more about them.

“What is freedom? Freedom is to be alive in Christ Jesus. Freedom isn’t keeping your money or your house or your car or your shit. Freedom isn’t going hither and yon whenever you please. Freedom isn’t earthly liberty. Earthly liberty is a mere derivative of authentic freedom, which is Jesus Christ Himself. Reject Christ, and you’re already a slave, and thus earthly liberty will be impossible. That’s why this is happening. This nation has rejected Christ and thus the earthly liberty that WAS a derivative of a Christian culture is now rapidly evanescing. This nation has embraced evil, and with evil inevitably comes chains. Day by day, link by link, this nation is forging its own chains, and it is so far gone that even the Christians are happily embracing the chains, ridiculing and desperately trying to convince those few who refuse to be chained that the only way to be free is to bow down and put on the chains too. Well, to hell with that shit, I say.”

– Ann Barnhardt

Here’re some questions for round 2:
1. You used to be all militia, all the time. On the verge of going underground, to kick some ass where the rubber was really hitting the double-track. The moment I first heard you present your tax-strike, one word stood out: “non-violent.” When did this happen, and why? Some people really want to know. All the balls in this fight are not on the non-violent-only options, and you know it, so why the silence? Isn’t this just a little bit presumptuous and insulting to those preparing for more than just going to prison?
2. Your position on the hopelessness of the Republic is well-established, but you refuse to even entertain the question of kicking your tax habit by going elsewhere so you can fight from outside. Other people talk about this as a strategy, and it’s historically strong. Why the silence on that? Too ball-less an option to even address? Really?
3. You admit that there may be no one behind you on the Higgins boat. May or may not be true, but when asked about impact, your response is always “If everybody did this…” Stop. Everybody else is not doing this. You just used the term 3% in the same breath. You know the math and you KNOW everybody is not doing this. Ever. If this is really not self-martyrdom, why not address the other options that you are rejecting?
4. Despite the pointedness of these questions, I support what you’re doing, but only because I acknowledge that everyone is called to their own way of making a stand. You usually appeal to intellectual arguments that are universal and apply to everyone, but is that what this is, really? Or is there a personal revelations aspect to this? An inner calling for you? That would be important to specify, because it would help others who are trying to make sense of their own callings.

In any case, God bless you on your way, Ann.
