You Might Be a Threeper If…

When I went to police academy in 2002, I was told that the most dangerous person I’ll ever encounter is a person with a copy of the Constitution in his back pocket.  I didn’t realize I was being indoctrinated until years after the fact.  I know that “3%ers” are often considered suspect and potentially dangerous by many cops out there.  Maybe they’re right, maybe they’re not.  So, let’s get down to it, what does a 3%er believe and are they really a threat?  I found most of the answers on David Robertson’s website www.dmrpublications.com and I’ve highlighted a few key points to ponder below.

I have been asked a few times “how do you know if you are a Three Percenter”? So let me see if I can help. In fact, let me provide you with well over 50 ways to tell whether or not you, or someone else, is a Threeper.

Of course, as you probably already know, the American Revolution was fought by roughly 3% of the colonists. Three Percenters are basically saying that they are like that 3% of the colonists – IE: principled enough to do what is right when it is right to do it. This is only part of the story though. Three Percenters generally model themselves after what I like to call “The Founding Fighters”.

Unfortunately… and statistically speaking, the vast majority of people can’t be Threepers. Which is too bad because this nation sure could use more. Not to say that most people don’t care, or that they are not active somehow. It’s not even to say that they wouldn’t fight when the fighting began. What it means is that MANY Americans are still a little confused about who or what the real enemy is, or where we need to go and for what reasons. As a result, many are forced to wait to see what happens instead of being directly involved before the fight. Of course, it also means that we see many people following flawed ideology or “leaders” without doing their research ahead of time. This explains the confusion, separation, lack of direction, and blurry goals.
You MIGHT BE A Threeper If…

1. You have actually read the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, and the REASONSlisted in the Declaration of Independence and understand the gravity of the situation we currently face and what it all really means.
