I dont think so...the grazing herd is oblivious to the wolves, but the bulk of the posters here have been well aware of the amount of gravity weve already gained on the back side of the ole slippery slope...
my gut says that most of 'us' are/have been at a crossroads for a veeeerrry loooong time...
until the certainty of the words comes from that 'still, small voice', I can be 100% sure if its 'offensive' or self defense...
problem is that when/if I hear that voice with clarity, will the aforementioned 72 hr hold become reality if Im forthright with even my most trusted friends & family ???
also, personally having been rather flirtatious and actually runnin with my devils in days gone by, there is also a bit of angst in cozying up to those old emotions...
back in the day, I had a bit of success in being able to throttle back the 'enthusiasm' of a conflict, but over time that ability became practically non-existant, and once the switch gets flipped, I do kinda get on a roll and hit auto pilot, so to speak...
just think William Munny in the last scenes of Unforgiven, commie muzztards do NOT wanna open that can, but they can and in fact are in the process...
at this point Im not so sure if the handlers have lost control of the Kenyan commie's arrogance, or if they really believe that they have reached 'critical mass' and are working for their own final solution framework...
oh well, I'll get outta bed in the AM, go to a building full of Christs brethren, and continue to seek His Will and ask for His Direction for me & mine...beyond that is uncertainty, at least till the last chapter of His Book...
Both scenarios are deepy disturbing...I have wondered if uhbama's arrogance has startled his close gulag and caused them a sleepless night or two. And I have wondered if uhbama is a tool being used for that reaching of 'critical mass' you wrote about.
It is getting surreal, for real.
