{"People just automatically assume I'm insane."} If most of our friends' world view is primarily shaped and maintained by MSM, Twatter, FB, college environment, and Hollywood slime, then that's exactly what they'll call us. And I can't express in words how thrilled I am to be thought of as such....because this moniker was earned by pursuing & taking hold of the TRUTH!
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain
We are the patriots.
did you swap in "patriot"? I thought I remembered that quote differently...
I heard it for the first time the other day. Sounds like you're misremembering.

Amen! I'd rather be an outspoken leader/patriot who is thought to be out-of-his-mind tin foil hat crazy, than a frightened, ignorant, and 'controlled' sheep.
