You seem pretty defensive for a guy that doesn't give a damn if anyone else likes it or not.

Don't kid yourself, I responded to your flippant "thank goodness our founders didn't take that advice" shot, so enjoy the ride.

Regardless as I've said it's your prerogative to leave if you wish.

How very kind of you.

That being said let's get a few things straight. First of all it doesn't matter if you are killed with a musket ball or a tactical nuke from orbit. Dead is dead. The colonists faced a far greater disparity of force than modern day patriots would face if a crack down were to begin. Almost all of the advantages the government would have against American citizens could be turned against them.

Do tell. What 'advantages' are American citizens going to turn 'against' the federal regime? I point out also that your 'musket ball vs tactical nuke' comparison holds no water at all. What you fail to understand is that over the past 235 odd years, the accuracy and efficiency (not to mention kill power) of weapons have vastly increased. This means that the feds are able to kill dissidents in greater numbers and efficiency due to the superior technology that was not present at the time of the first American Revolution.

Now some of us might be the next Churchill that needs to retreat to prepare a counter strike in the name of freedom or whatever, but that attitide strikes me as being a bit...well...egomaniacal not to mention a bit premature.

Nobody knows who a future Churchill might be among the patriot masses, and as for being 'premature', what time table do you recommend, and how long should everyone wait to prepare?

This election cycle does in fact seem pretty absurd but let's face it, we the people are in fact choosing this stupidity. I know that is a hard thing to deal with but it's the truth. If Romney wins it's because the electorate chose him and when Obama crushes him, that will be the choice of the electorate as well. Until such a time when that isn't true, then it will be time to either run, fight or die, hopefully performing each action at the appropriate times.

If Romney ends up as the nominee, it will validate the suspicions of many Americans, which is that this electoral cycle is nothing but a charade, manipulated and orchestrated by the elites in BOTH parties, to the detriment of We The People.

Make no mistake, my comment wasn't flippant; it was sincere.

I was recognizing an obvious truth not presuming to grant permission.

I don't think discussing tactics for a conflict that hasn't started is probably a good idea so let's table that discussion. I know more than a little about weapons, and their destructive potential both modern and antique. There is no way that the Federal government could hope to pacify an uprising of even 10% of the (armed) population unless they were willing to destroy the nation outright. There would need to be at least a couple of decades of real civilian disarmament before they could even attempt it. I think you need to think this through a bit more.

People should start preparing right now if they aren't already prepared. Children should be raised in preparation. This is a fight we can only win temporarily. Do you mean to ask when we should retreat? Retreating before the first fight doesn't seem tactically sound if your goal is to take any ground.

Until you can present me some real evidence that people voted for someone other than Romney as Republican candidate for President but Romney still won, then the sad fact remains that while the voting populace is obviously so stupid to be considered borderline retarded, we still voted the guy in. We are Americans, since when did we start listening to the royals trying to run our lives? We are the ones that vote and if we allow someone like Romney to be our candidate with so many superior alternatives then we deserve to lose.
