They've been throwing so much crap at us that they've scattered resistance. Between unions, healthcare, abortion, etc. our troops are battling on too many fronts to be effective.
But this should the the one, the all-out effort to stop this should be our only priority until it is done. And we need to politically destroy the traitors who brought it to the floor.
I think that is part of their strategy. Overwhelm the enemy (us) with so many things, they can't form an effective defense. Everyone needs to pick an issue or two to focus on, find a group that is already fighting for or against that issue and join with them.
There is one battle, not yet joined by the Obamites, that is more important. That is the attempt to ban private ownership of militia suitable weapons, and handguns which are quite suitable for shooting some brown/black/red shirt thug as he comes in your door to confiscate your property or haul you or your kids off to one of these "campuses". Some of that was done as part of our previous great experiments with Socialism. The National Firearms act (1934 ) and the "Federal Firearms Act (1938) and the Gun Control Act (1968). of course there is also the soon to be reenacted "Assault Weapons Ban"(1994) and the accompanying Brady Act (1994). All were passed when Democrats controlled both Congress and the White House.
But never fear, or fear a lot, the White House site still shows The Messiah calling for the renewal of the AWB.(It's under "Crime and Law Enforcement" and "Address Gun Violence in Cities".)
As in 1775, the time to fight is when they try to take your guns. Before then, politics is the arena of the conflict, after that, it's fight or be enslaved. The crowd in Congress and the White House is going for enslavement, which of course they call "Hope and Change".
