Nothing you have “to risk” is worth squat without liberty. Grow a pair and resist.

“Agreed. I have been saying that since the beginning. Everyone will look at their individual situation and believe they have too much to risk, even in light of what is being taken away from us.”

There’s passive CD to be considered.

You, my perceptive friend, have said it far better than I could have.

What are you going to do?

Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday. Then get on my knees and pray.

The difference today is that we have a law enforcement and criminal justice system that are FAR better armed (and infinitely better organized) than the citizenry, and whose goal is to keep order no matter what. Until that changes, I don’t see much resisting going on.

If the Federal Govt funds abortions, I will refuse to pay taxes and will go to jail for it.

The federal government has been funding abortion for years. Why aren't you in jail now?

Let's start with those who call their selves conservatives and do nothing politically. As in sending a very basic email to their elected representatives.

If that level of involvement could be ratcheted up a small amount; it would help a great deal.

Are you serious? Millions have been standing up in defiance over the past 14 moths and that number continues to grow!

Pfft. Anyone can be a Keyboard Kommando. It's easy to talk a big game. It's fun to "stand up in defiance" when there's nothing to lose.

Here's the truth: None of you Website Wolverines are going to do a damn thing other than bitch about things on the Internet, or maybe wave a misspelled, hand-lettered sign at some meaningless street rally. So spare me the speech, Patrick Henry.

That’s what it will take to shut down this broken government we have. More people should step up.

obama supports abortion, including partial-birth, more than anyone that has been in Washington in a very long time.

Since the Republican politicians can’t do it, [not enough of them in Congress], we need to have a disaffected public rise up and disrupt Congress from carrying out its normal business until they rescind the Healthcare bill - and start from scratch.

Healthcare was s single party act of tyranny over the wishes of the people. Nothing should be “normal” until they retract the act.

I agree on that point. But they aren’t doing anything.

We have “Tea Parties” which are nothing but politically correct family picnics, really.

I’ve tried to organize in my area for something a little more spirited than the lame “Tea Parties” and struggle to get even a hundred people to sign-up.

Sometimes I don’t even know why I concern myself with it all. If Americans want this sh*t who am I to get in the way of their suicide?

But I get mixed signals when they cry out against what’s happening. Then they go back to the various screens they stare at for hours, days, weeks, until the next urge to cry out hits them.

It’s f***king weird what we’re doing. I don’t get it.

It's not a Revolution. We've already had that. By dumbing down the electorate, and by falsifying the votes, they have stolen our Republic.

We need a Restoration. The Republic must stand again.

Waiting to vote another group of useless a$$holes into office won't cut it.

We have to break this nation out of the chains of inaction. Tonight we are seeing our liberty being taken by force.
