Lighten up - I am only asking you a question and not putting words in your mouth. You are doing a good job all on your own. By your last statement, you are still prepared to give the Media their “sound bite” of those “Nazis pushing back hard on our poor officials.” If we are daunted by criticism from the Left, and believe moral equivalency in tactics, then we’re doomed. Even Jesus blew his stack and raged through the temple. Should we do any less? WE’re already the Enemy of the STate, so what’s the difference?

From your post:
So, are you saying that if we keep talking politely, or just don’t even show up, that will “sway” these Statist tyrrants another direction?

None of which I said.

Let me ask an honest question: Are there particular ways to protest what these socialist legislators are doing that are NOT advantageous to liberty's cause? If so, what are they?

I don't think we disagree one iota on the diabolical nature of the left and the urgency to push back as hard as possible. I think we're just not in agreement on method. I want the most effective means in fighting the leftists to be employed - toward the same goal. Understand? Laser sharp debate, boldly and loudly exposing the left's lies (not hard to do), apologetically calling a spade a spade, writing well-composed letters to the editor - all of these are excellent means to push back, as well as attending town hall meetings and being heard. Townhall.com does an excellent job of posting articulate pieces from some of the best conservative minds to be found. I want more of this type of debate at actual town hall meetings.
