Using the mechanisms of government, politics, public opinion to pressure you, investigate you, threaten litigation against you or otherwise complicate your life.
Banks announce they will not lend money to people who deal in firearms. A major fundraising web site refuses to host campaigns for the targets of ideological harassment. A U.S. senator openly threatens to go after global warming skeptics using a law that was passed to take down the mafia. Governors veto laws designed to protect religious freedom after receiving threats from organizations like the National Football League. And of course, conservative organizations endure harassment from the IRS.
No one has passed a law banning you from owning guns, disblieving global warming, opposing gay marriage or being a conservative activist. They don’t need to. All they have to do is use the mechanisms of government, politics and public opinion to pressure you, investigate you, threaten litigation against you or otherwise complicate your life. And if you want to put a stop to it, all you have to do is stop opposing their agenda.
Can you see the battle lines starting to form? The stage is being set for revolution.
Necks in nooses, heads on pikes.
The majority of politicians are nothing more than a bunch of thoroughly corrupted whores.
When a group of corporations can threaten an entire STATE, and force the government of that state to capitulate against the will of its citizens, you know where the real power lies.
If these governors and state politicians had any real backbone, they would call these corporations’ bluff.
Instead, they cave in, demonstrating just who has control over these political whores.
And both political parties are equally guilty, along with their backers in the financial sector.
I don't know about battle lines. I do know that it feels like I'm living Atlas Shrugged.
Herman Cain nails it.
Revolutions have been fought because of this kind of tyranny.
Heads on pikes lets them know that you care.
or the people have a perfect right to use force to replace tyranny with freedom.

"Over a period of several weeks in October and November 1938, the Nazi government disarmed the German Jewish population. The process was carried out both by following a combination of legal forms enacted by the Weimar Republic and by sheer lawless violence. The Nazi hierarchy could now more comfortably deal with the Jewish question without fear of armed resistance by the victims."
"It may be tempting to argue that the possession of firearms by the German Jews would have made no difference, either in the 1938 pogrom or later in the Holocaust, when the majority were deported and then eradicated in death camps. Yet this fatalistic view ignores that the Nazis themselves viewed armed Jews as sufficiently dangerous to their policies to place great emphasis on the need to disarm all Jews. In 1938, it was by no means certain that Jewish armed resistance movements could not develop, and even less certain that individual Jews would not use arms to resist arrest, deportation, or attacks by the Nazis."
"Stalin and Pol Pot, incidentally, also moved to disarm their citizens before their reigns of terror. For those who invoke the rallying cry of "Never Again," -- and count me in -- it's useful to consider the role of an armed citizenry in resisting oppression."
Heads on pikes are better.
They stick around longer, so to speak.
Ping.
I see you’re already here ... “Never mind”.

Operation Choke Point is particularly insidious. It's clearly restraint of trade but who will enforce the law when it's the enforcers who are breaking it? And that, my FRiends, is the stuff of revolution.
These are a few of my favorite things?
