Conservatives won’t fight back, and the liberals know it.
And no, whining about the liberals on talk radio or internet forums isn’t fighting.
“America is at that awkward stage: It’s too late to work within the system, and too late to shoot the ba$tard$.”
And don’t kid yourself. Those are the only “categories”. Our government is like a two year old, always pushing limits to see what they can get away with. It is what Clinton did when he was impeached but dared them to kick him out of office. In a kinder, gentler time where we had leaders with integrity, they would spare us the whole process, cough, Nixon, cough...
But it has only gotten worse and will only get worse until the whole thing implodes, which I firmly believe will happen within Obama’s second term.
That wasn’t the quote that I remembered so I sneaked a peek....

Whether or not “it’s time” is a consideration of provocation. Personally I do not believe that there is sufficient provocation yet to pull the trigger. But we’re close. We stand on the precipice and prudence dictates that we be prepared - and resolute.
