"I fear what the dims do to our nation will be irreversible..."

Difficult perhaps, but not impossible.

As it is - we are slowly drifting in the same direction...
We are currently the frog in tepid water, but the heat is increasing slowly enough we haven't "jumped" -- but the result will be the same..

If it comes QUICKLY, perhaps the shock will force an overly civilized society to resort to the means our founders provided to "resist" a tyranical government.....

Unfortunately -- some demons are not mollified, frightened or driven away by rational conversation , negotiation or educaton....
The worst demons must be destroyed. Literally.

Although I pray it never comes to this, I would not cower in fear if called upon to once again take up arms in defense of this land our forefathers bequeathed unto us...
