We bemoan the fate of being "leaderless" yet the patriots of 1776 did not follow any single "leader."

Our leaders will present themselves when WE are confident enough in our cause to know them.

BRAVO!

The message of the century!

Only once the people take matters back into their own hands, can any real leader emerge. Until then, there is no need for a leader...

“A leader is someone who figures out which way the parade is moving, and runs fast enough to get in front of them”

Future Trends, an old book.

Exactly. None (or very few at the least) of the Founding Fathers dreamed of a viable completely autonomous country. They all had visions that were pieces of a puzzle. Put them all together, and the result was the USA. Hell George Washington just wanted a job. These guys were trying to get through the day or week, not the Revolution. Our next revolution will be like that. The leader of that one could be a Army grunt, busboy or shoe salesman somewhere right now. We have to persevere!

My thoughts exactly.

It would be nice to have a strong leader standing up against what's happening. But a large group of people standing up can be just as effective. Maybe more so. We've got to stop looking for a leader and just get together as a group. Maybe from there a leader will emerge. We can't depend on one person. Not many people will have the guts to go it alone.

Bravo to you!!! The original Sons Of Liberty did what was necessary to get the ball rolling. We should all think hard about doing the same. If we wait too long, it’ll be too late! Just like the “Good German Citizens” prior to WWII. They laughed at him, mocked him, told jokes about him and by the time they realized that ‘boy we better do something to stop this monster’ it was too late. Hitler had their guns, he had their children (who now considered mom & dad enemies of the fatherland), he had the country. You either obeyed, or you died or worse!!!!
