No. We will have the army. It is the legions of armed federal functionaries that will be our opposition. It won’t necessarily be easy to get the army in play. But we must always remember that the enemy’s strength is drawn from the worst and the dimmest while ours is from the best and the brightest.
I know that neither of you guys asked for my opinion, but I think that you might be wrong on the opposition to worry about.
The one who causes you trouble is not going to be some armed Federal thug that kicks in your door at 3am. Well, maybe ultimately, but there are a whole lot of steps that need to happen before we get to that point.
No, I think that problems are going to be caused by the bureaucracy. It'll be the nice older lady in HR that brings in cookies for everyone on Friday...."Ichabod1, look, I need to get this Obamacare form filled out this afternoon. It's Friday, just get it done so we can all go home early." Or, it will be the next door neighbor that "helpfully" mentions your gun collection to the nosy census worker. And so on.
As much as I wish it were so, there won't be a single, armed face to the problems this country has. That would be easily to defeat. Nope, this problem is much more insidious - try telling your employer to go to hell when they want a dozen health-related questionnaires filled out, or telling off your family doctor of 20 years because "they're just following orders" and "need a little more info from you". And So on.
These are the things that keep me up at night. For instance, I can quit *a* job (and in fact, did, because they were unnecessarily intrusive among other things), or find *a* new doctor, but sooner or later, I'll run out of jobs, and new doctors. Bureaucracy just grinds you down....slowly, but it never quits.
