No offense taken. See my comment at #316.

I’m 39. Two children: daughter (13) and a son (8).

I’m fully prepared to fight and to be totally honest, some days I have to restrain myself from taking that action. I’m just not yet convinced that reforming and reducing the current system of government cannot be done without violence.

And I don’t think JimRob is ready to concede violence yet either. I’m speakingn for him so I’m sure he’ll correct me if I mispeak badly on his behalf. I think he believes that we can converge upon Washington D.C. with a peaceful, OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE group of Americans and DEMAND change IMMEDIATELY and order them to CEASE and DESIST. And I support that.

(caps for emphasis, not shouting at you)

But my answer to your last two questions are as follows:

If not now, when?
When we are convinced that there is no other alternative than the forceable, physical removal of our representatives in D.C.

If not us, who?
Defintely us, definitely not our children and not our grandchildren.

Belive me when I tell you that I'd really like to believe the above, again. I used to believe that, truly I did.

Then we had the 2008 elections, ACORN's corrupt activities in stealing the election, Obama's directives to his minions to engage those of us who disagree with him in 'street fights' and his theft of trillions of dollars of your, my, and our grandchildren's money, enslaving three generations to pay back the Communist Chinese.

I firmly believe in my heart that this SOB who occupies the White House is doing his level best to destroy this country, so it can be "remade" the way he wants it: A large, socialist government that intervenes in every aspect of our lives.

Nope, no thanks. Not for me, not what I (or you) want for our children.

Maybe the 2010 elections will change things. Maybe it is 1993 all over again (as I posted on my blog) a few months back.

But I have to tell you, my frustration level with this illegal, corrupt Government that daily seizes more and more power Un-Constitutionally usurping States rights and our own personal freedoms really has me thinking that we're at the end of our ropes, and that nothing short of a full-on Revolution is going to stop the trajectory this country is now on.

I hope and pray I'm wrong, but something in my heart of hearts tells me I'm not.

Thanks for your thoughtful response, peace to you.

I missed this in my first read of your reply and I'm curious: what would convince you that there is no other alternative?
