eAmerican Cultural Renaissance
Captain Panther
"The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a game, a self-propelled wheel, a first movement, a sacred "Yes." For the game of creation, my brothers, a sacred "Yes" is neede😛
the spirit now wills his own will, and he who had been lost to the world now conquers his own world."
Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spoke Zarathustra
This quote is one of my favorites of all time, and I believe it encapsulates our current situation very well. We have been pushed around quite a bit by PEACE, losing all of our high grain regions and many states, the most recent being Kansas. These losses have pushed people to quit the game, and contemplate escape plans to other countries should we be completely conquered.
Does anyone remember that we're still in the middle of a war for America here? Many act as though this war, and America for that matter, are as good as done. We are never done. We never give up.
Forgive the cliche, but "It is always darkest before the dawn." Given, it's as dark as it has ever been before, but that just means one thing: when we eventually regain our composure and beat PEACE back from whence they came, the dawn will shine brighter than any darkness. By allowing ourselves to give up and let PEACE come into our home, we give in to the aforementioned "darkness".
This is our home, and our country! How is it that we can idly sit by and let those cocky PEACE players come and take it? Giving up is not an option, nor should it ever be. We shouldn't be sitting here thinking about what we will do when we've lost, or bickering amongst ourselves over moot things. If there was ever a time to live up to our name, the United States, that time is NOW. Help out new players, and if you are new, seek help! Recruit your friends in RL. Cut the ego and learn to work as a team to win America back! Everyone can contribute something, and it's time that we started to.
To further get the blood flowing, this song is perfect for our situation and generally awesome:

Composure by: August Burns Red
Shake it off.
Pick yourself up, they say.
Your life fell apart in your hands, and you've got the scars to prove it.
It's not the first time, and they're getting deeper.
Pull it together.
Button up your shirt.
Roll down those sleeves.
Don't let them see how you've coped.
More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand.
It seems like your giving up on everything you worked for.
It's pulling you under.
It's gripping around your throat.
Life can be overwhelming,
But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch you've ever had.
They have always been there to brace your fall.
Wave goodbye to the past.
You've got your whole life to lead.
It's time to gain some ground.
If you also believe it is time to begin an eAmeican Renaissance, then please vote this up!

Great article.
*applause*
We are in revealing times. Those who campaign on fighting for democracy and freedom are now begging us to take what we can get from our PEACE overlords.
I'm so sick of political opportunists in the eUS, I can't stand it. No country wants spineless, sniveling cowards... not this one. Not Indonesia. Whatever these pathetic excuses for human beings think they're going to get out of making a deal with PEACE, they're mistaken.
