Actually, we're not. It's an illusion propped up by high technology. It is very similar to a fake old western cow town used for Hollywood sets. There is nothing behind it.
I've been the state leader of a militia website, and I can tell you it's a lot of talk and no action. Lots of flag-waving though. By "action" I mean organizational, political, and economic action needed to organize citizenry to PUSH BACK. If I could garner 1,000 riflemen in my local area, we could start the transformation. Or any county for that matter. Unfortunately, I can't get 10, and certainly not able-bodied men. Usually they are retired men with a myriad of health issues whom have witnessed a great nation slide so far, so fast. Talking to my sister states, they are in the same position. If you were to examine a typical training schedule of each state group, it amounts to nothing more than "prepping" to head for the hills and preserve their own families and friends.
I am sad to report that the spritual apathy is so strong, we will never witness an action similar to 1775: it is no longer in our culture. Meanwhile, we continue to conduct commerce with the very businesses that seek our demise; hoping that "the next election" will yield a magical candidate that will ride in and set everything right. Ain't gonna happen.
Game. Set. Match.
Now, if our nation would return to Jesus Christ, that would be a whole new ballgame, because at least we'd put aside our collective delusional thinking that man is god.
You are so correct. Despite the bold statement by some around here, there are few, if any, who would lay down their lives as the first to go forward.
It is no different than what many studies have revealed about helpless people in our cities. A person on the sidewalk asking for help gets none until the first person volunteers......then, many more come forward to help.

Thanks for the insight, that this country needs a spiritual revival is evident. Your assessment of the resistance movement is probably correct but I think it might change overnight if there were a direct affront to our liberties. The lack of participation you see in the local militias is due primarily to the general perception of “those crazy militias” and also the realization that they are often infiltrated by FBI trying to stir up mischief. True enough that most of the populace is pacified by bread and circuses. If (when?) there is an economic collapse and people know how and why it happened there would be more resistance.
There was only 3% of the population involved in the American Revolution. Does it need to be a higher percentage now?
