Waiting for a flash point is like waiting for NK or Iran to comply with inspections. The longer the fedgov avoids one, the farther down the socialist path they take us. People must, at some point, consider what if a flashpoint never comes? Would you consider to sit on the sides, continuing to lose freedoms and property, indefinitely? What if healthcare and climate change pass? People need to draw their line in the sand and not keep moving it back while hoping for some uniting flash point.
This isn’t directed at you but rather is a general statement to all who seem to be idly sitting by, waiting for some sign. The men at Lexington weren’t sitting at home waiting for a flash point. I don’t think Jefferson, Hamilton or Madison were sitting at home waiting for a flash point. They actively went out in the community and stirred up suport for the opposition. We need to be more aggressive in our efforts and not limit ourselves to being internet-only commandos.
I’m on board with you. At some point, some of us will have to risk taking the hit, much like our Founders did when faced with similar decisions.
