I keep asking myself (and I’ve yet to find the answer): When does the shooting start? What will be the catalyst? Or will we merely roll over for the safety and security of our jobs and homes? At some point, enough is enough. But when is that point?

I think the tipping point will come with the Orwellian 'Fairness Doctrine'. If they try to silence all political opposition, people will resort to force almost immediately because it will be an almost naked attempt at tyranny.

One of the big problems here is the almost unholy alliance between big-business fat-cats, who have become acculturated to the extreme left and who flatter themselves into thinking that their business acumen gives them political wisdom and authority (Soros, Bloomberg, Buffet), and Democratic politicians who see funneling money to the fat-cats as a sure way of instituting a one-party state.

To go after the pols, you will also have to go after the whole corrupt class of crony capitalists who support them.

Actually, the shooting has already started. It’s been going on for years now while TPTB keep calling the shooters “misfits,” “sociopaths” and now “terrorists.” The labeling has bee mostly successful in that it has kept the numbers down but as society in general gets more and more fed up with what is happening to America there will be an increase in the number of shooters.

After the OKC bombing the term “militia” became synonyous with “terrorist” and the few organized militias faded away. Now the movement has evolved into smaller, more mobile groups with little or no communication between them. While that makes it more difficult for them to act on a large scale it also makes it much more difficult for TPTB to infiltrate them.

As far as whether or not we will value our jobs and homes more than our liberty: Have you noticed the huge numbers of layoffs recently? Have you watched the foreclosures? I believe it was JFK who said something like ‘if you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable.’ God help us all.

I can think of a few possibilities:
