It’s all about baby steps, and the left has been taking them for decades. People are angry at health care reform, but it’s only another incremental step. Government long ago unlawfully seized the power to regulate virtually anything (via the Commerce Clause). They can LEGALLY confiscate any or all income and redistribute it for any purpose.

Politicians already believe they have the right to do as they please. Now they are only haggling over the details.

Don’t put too much faith in guns, either. They don’t have to confiscate them. So long as they keep taking baby steps, most gun owners will never reach the point of open rebellion. Is civil war likely when they give the vote to millions of new citizens and convicted felons? Maybe, but probably not.

Don’t count on the courts either. They’ve been stacking them for decades. Even the Supreme Court hangs by a thread, only one appointment from being controlled by the hard left. The lower courts are stacked with some of the most extreme ideologues you will ever know!

We conservatives are running out of chances to turn the country back from the abyss, especially peaceful ones. I don’t think it’s over, but how many more opportunities are we going to get? Not many. Let’s make 2010 and 2012 count for all they are worth. We may not get another chance.

A Dictator isn’t interested in getting unemployment taken care of - Not yet. It must reach 20% or higher. I believe that with our culture of large TVs, new cars and iPods we will need only 15% national unemployment before looting begins.

There may not be a “Russian Army” to worry about. The invading army in our case is larger, more bloodthirsty, hates us on a personal level and moves silently. This is Islam.

I've been saying for the past several years that if the Feds ever control health care then that's how they will get us to give up our guns.

They will declare guns in the household a health/safety issue and if you want to continue receiving health care you must get rid of them.

Of course, this is predicated on them ever finding out you have them but that will come.

"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." - Tenche Coxe (introduction to his discussion, and support, of the 2nd Amend) "Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution" Philadelphia Federal Gazette, 18 June 1789, pg.2

Can we? Yes, We Can!

Will we? Probably not any time soon. I just hope we don't wait too long.
