They forget that there is a more powerful World out there where the rural people control the food, raw materials and the means of producing them.
If it comes down to it, we could halt all food production in mere days, shut down all power to large population centers and disable all roads leading out of their mass, rat infested urban cesspools, they call cities.
It may be true that they can control the urban population for a while, but that aspect will wind up being their own self defeating fate.
Us country folk can survive and will beat them like a Michael Vick Pit Bull; If they make the grave mistake of getting us riled up, that is. And I might add, they are well on their way at that!
I am afraid there just won't be enough people to care about their plight and we, as a people go down without a whimper.
I live in a town of 20,000 most are of this mindset. Everybody is growing a garden this year, planting fruit trees and learning how to can and dry food. Went to an event last week that featured Sheriff Richard Mack, the guy who sued the Clinton Administration over the Brady Bill went to the Supreme court and won.
He gave me much hope, he said if we can concentrate our power on constitutional Sheriff;s in all 900 counties, the O admin can do nothing. If the feds pass an unconstitutional law, the Sheriff's (the boss's of each county)need not enforce it. They have the authority over all law enforement in the county and can very easily stop unconstitutional federal law taking place in their county. He said forget about DC it is lost to moral corruption concentrate on electing constitional Sheriff's!!!
