Yes, I agree. And will there be any push back from the Constitutional defenders before the apogee is reached? That's still a question. My good friend and I who have discussed this topic with over many campfires and beers feels that no, definately no push back. Sheeple like acquiesence to whatever comes next (socialized medicine?). The outrage over the New London decision was short lived. (Kudos to Sean Hanity for going to the city in Florida where greed heads want to destroy an entire neighborhood.)
The Free State Wyoming and Free State (New Hampshire) project are also interesting. I agree with the criticism that there is no hope of holding the line in New Hampshire. Too surrounded by socialist thinkers, to many Mass voters moving to the border bedroom communities.
But Wyoming is an interesting play. It has the smallest population of any state, is arguably the freest and most libertarian of any state, and has some small counties that could be taken control of with enough new people moving and and harmonizing with the prevailing local trends.
It would be great to create one alternative in the USA to do things like abolish most government programs. Run with a miniscule and volunteer set of public officials, etc.
Boston T. Party wrote the book Molon Labe, which while very fanciful, outlines such a strategy. Also a web search for Free State Wyoming will show the discussion group.
That's the only semi-organized strategy I see that seems likely to succeed. Other than the second coming of Ronald Reagan, or the man on the white horse.
All things considered I think the pale horse may be the more likley one we'll see a rider on soon.
As a New Hampshire native, I'm dismayed that this appears to be so - I love the "Live Free or Die State." But there is no escaping the Socialist mindset in VT, MA, ME (and Quebec).

I've adopted the West as my new home and this is the best news I've heard in quite a while. THANKS!
These are the last ditch efforts after everything else has failed and before the second Revolutionary War breaks out. If these things happen, it will mean that all the battles to restore the Constitution will have been lost. It may be true that the socialists have been winning, but make no mistake, we certainly don't intend to lose and we will never surrender.
Americans still want to be free. When a group of candidates offers them a choice, the American people will choose freedom. Our plan will show you how FreeRepublic can be instrumental in recruiting candidates for office, yes just like "Another Ronald Reagan". We believe that we can recruit candidates made from the same mold as Ronald Reagan and cut from the same cloth as the Founders. Success not only breeds success, but it also intimidates the losers and the losers' clones.
Most Americans can still tell the difference between freedom and a free lunch. Part of the job of our candidates and part of the task for FreeRepublic is the clear concise definition of what Americans can expect if they depend on themselves versus what everyone should expect as government dependents. The problem isn't that the socialists have better arguments; the problem is that nobody has been presenting our arguments at all. Adding insult to injury, the media and our educational institutions have successfully demonized everybody that has even tried.
