I don’t know what the tipping point will be. I thought Ft. Hood might be it, but nope. Sure fired me up and I’m still scorching mad about it. These attacks on the embassies have me seething and the gov’t.’s response - or lack thereof - make it even worse.
If the reports we’ve seen tonight that intel about the attacks was ignored turns out to be 100% credible, maybe that’ll be enough.
Ok, one can dream. I’m beginning to think Americans have been dumbed down too much and we’ve reached the point of no return. I hope I’m wrong.

Agree with what you said.
I’ve been ‘tuned in’ to the Islamic threat since 9-12-01. Started buying books.
Then came the re-election year of Bush/Cheney - 2004.
Where I participated in street corner rallies for months back then. While others held Bush-Cheney signs, and signs like ‘Veterans for Bush,’ I was holding large hand-made (by me) signs that said:
NO SHARIA LAW IN THE U.S. (Ironic, huh)?
and
DEFEAT ISLAMIC JIHAD
Passersby did not know what that (the signs) all meant, for the most part. Hope they remember those signs in later years - now.
Only the early morning of election day did one car passenger roll down the window and say ‘That (my sign) could get someone killed.’ I replied ‘My side or yours?’ as the car took off when the light turned green. Well, those were the words that sprang forth.
He did look ME - - -
This is in So. CA.
That was the ONLY confrontation I experienced back then (except for the occasional ‘bird’) - expected more.
But these days are more ugly, and there’s no street corner rallies organized yet, so don’t really know.
I still have all those signs.
