Good post. Read some of mine, I think we are of the right mind direction wise concerning the odds.

One solution is to provide a work around that we offer as educational meetings about the constitution.

I think we are in general agreement. You emphasize the need to mount a multi-front attack to find one that works. I agree as I emphasize that all elements of arms must be coordinated in football as in warfare. But who is to coordinate?

One thing I've been thinking about along these lines is forming neighborhood or community book clubs, where like-mindeds can gather to read and discuss titles pertaining to individual freedom. The best way to get people to THINK is to pry them away from the Hollyweird leftist-controlled "entertainment" of the television.

The beginnings of my anti-collectivism, pro-individual-freedom reading list:
The 5000 Year Leap (Skousen)
Atlas Shrugged (Rand)
The Fountainhead (Rand)
Anthem (Rand)
Free to Choose (Friedman)
The Sovereign Individual (Davidson/Rees-Mogg)
The Road to Serfdom (Hayek)

Under the "know your enemies" category I might undertake Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and Rahm Emanuel's The Plan, as well as the timeless strategery culled from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, as this is most certainly a war for the very soul of this (once?) great nation.

It's great to network on the internet, to formulate ideas and plans of action. But it may be even more valuable to establish networks of close proximity, people you know you can trust and be able to align with at a moment's notice. The socialization aspect of getting together in person to discuss what is happening in our country, where we're headed, and what we can do with and for each other to protect ourselves and our families (and our freedoms!) will be a great asset.

Good thread, by the way.
