I am still of the opinion that nothing is impossible nor inevitable, and will always refuse the injustice of a socialist government. I actually don't believe that our society will function in that mode, once we've reached a certain plateau, for very long before armed 'resistance' begins. If that time arrives in my lifespan, I will never be old enough to lay my life on the line to remove such tyranny from our soil in any way necessary.

If you and yours believe that socialist perversion is inevitable, I am more than prepared to go you one better: Perhaps having Clintoon elected will advance the timetable for the eventual revolt against our coming tyrannical government. You choose slow bleed, I choose let's slug it out as soon as possible and get it over with once and for all. Once again, I see no point in voting for RINO Rudy. However, I'm of the opinion that the Republicans will more likely alienate those who actually account for the most significant chunk of their base voters and that alienation will result in Clintoon being elected over your RINO in 08.

RINO Rudy or HRC in 08 is a lose/lose proposition for America.

If our government is allowed to continue on this path, it will eventually have to be destroyed (I prefer not to wait for a collapse) and we will be wise to move back to our constitutional roots. Furthering the conservative agenda is still an attempt to reverse course on almost a century of socialist progress, and failure of that effort is also not inevitable.

Your scenario makes the eradication of that tyranny all that much more difficult to erase as time allows that perversion to embed itself even further into our culture, and I disagree with that approach. I do more than just hope for change, I actively work within my means to further the agenda of those who think along the same lines I do. If the Republicans are going to capitulate to that insanity, I will no longer support them, and neither will many other Americans.

History tells me that Americans are slow to anger, but when the tipping point arrives, we are ruthless towards our perceived enemies. If bloodshed begins in earnest, I will bet on the side that the bulk of our veterans 'choose'.

I have a paleocon friend who makes this point all the time. I can't really refute it, except to say that life under a progressively declining nanny managerial state is not all that bad. If I were unhappy, I would leave for Bermuda or some other tax haven.

I have prosperred in this America, and I have done so because I do not let my political orientation get in the way of my pragmatism. Sure, I can't smoke in restaurants, but I don't smoke anyway. I get frisked by federal agents when I want to travel, but I am reasonably assured that my flight will not be terrorized. I pay over 30 percent of my income in taxes, but I have a very good income and not a great appetite for the things that money can buy, so the tax burden does not really affect the lifestyle I would lead one way or the other.

Revolution may be beneficial as far as preserving or even restoring liberty in this country, what precious little of it remains. But I would never support a liberal in the hope of bringing about societal chaos in order to make it happen.

The liberals root for a bad economy because, being opportunists, they see that a bad economy and failure in the WOT is something they can exploit. I just think that if someone promotes the worst for America, that makes them no better than the leftists.

I am trained in business and will thrive in just about any political environment, because I assume the macro environment is beyond my ability to change but within my ability to predict. But I totally understand and do not blame you for the above point of view.

No matter how bad things get, I just will not root for my country to fail.
