I'm asking where is the Tom Paine? Where's the Sam Adams? Where is Thomas Jefferson rallying public opinion for certain individual liberties!?!

Har! Doncha know he would become an immediate media darling and his personal charisma, charm and gravitas would be displayed on and in every media source in the free, and not so free world. His every utterence would cause even the most jaded of journalists to swoon in the aura of his incomparable oratory and transcendent radiance. Their unmitigated delight in the emergence of such a being would create in their realm an inexplicable but intractable case of the vapors. -- Oh wait...

Seriously, think about who you know, hard core fire breathing Constitutionalists with a modicum of national prominence, who don't get dissed mercilessly here on this very forum? And you want a movie star?

Again, are you kidding? I have said since 2006 that even Ronald Reagan could not get elected in today's climate...not least because the "conservative purists" would knife him in the back for signing Amnesty, or cutting and running from Lebanon, or allowing 12 million abortions during his 8 years, or for installing a NWO liberal as his successor, etc etc etc.

My point to you is that when you recognize that we're too fractured to even unite behind a political leader like Reagan today, if one even existed (I don't think one does)...it's obvious that there's not going to be any uniting behind some rebel leader who's going to ask for real blood and sacrifice.

And trying to get it started too early will get a smallish confrontation like Waco which will usher in sentiment to abolish the rest of the BOR for the "public good."

That's all!
