"However, If we give up..."

I will be THE last man to say give up. I'm trying to tell you folks that I have been there and done that it HASN'T worked! Look where we are now with the Obama,Reid, Pelosi triad that are weekly diminishing out liberties and rule of law.

A bunch of people holding signs in front of the WH in Lafette (sp) Park won't make one iota difference. The obama machine will ignore it, as did the clinton machine.

Without civil disobedience, nothing will change. Mark my words.

“Without civil disobedience, nothing will change. Mark my words.”

Agreed, however...let’s clarify civil disobedience...that does not mean bombs, guns, and violence. It means shutting down the local city hall or federal building, shutting down the local tv station, picketing Chrysler and GM dealers, going to union offices and picketing...now there is an idea!

I understand your argument. However until the majority of conservatives feel they have nothing left to lose they will be unwilling to take actions that may result in loss of property or personal freedom. Think frog in pot of water on the stove.

Hopefully the Tea Parties with energize the population so we can elect a new government starting with local elections.

I think civil disobedience is a good place to start. But what actions are suggesting?

I don’t think we are at the stage where we need to start bombing buildings, bridges, etc.
But this day may get here sooner than many think. I encourage everyone to buy guns and ammo just in case.

If you want to effectively protest, do it in front of a politicians (mayor-state rep-Senator) or LEO (local police chief-county sheriff-FBI agent} personal residence.

Just the fact that you march in front of their personal residence will raise the temperature 100%. That is what makes the fight a personal one.

Marching in front of someones office where they can say, "I've had enough for today, I'm going home for some peace and quiet" is considered official business. They were hired knowing unruly crowds were part of the job. Make it personal! That's when the wife just might come over on our side.

When you shake up their wives and children with the threat of possible criminal disobedience is what makes it a whole different situation. Make them afraid that someone who can no longer control their anger might just throw a rock through their car window.

No, I am not suggesting throwing a rock through someones front window, but you want them to think you will unless changes are brought about.
