Many people have been beaten-down and know that the beatdown would only be worse if they pushed it. I myself have had experience with trying to figure out how to challenge a plainly contraconstitutional "law" without acquiescing to that "law" -- it cannot be done: the system is [re]designed to disallow you from arguing the case w/o being in the position of 'defendant' after breaking the 'law' -- this means that you implicitly acknowledge the "law" as authoritative (and therefore valid) should you intentionally violate it.
I’ve talked about this on other threads, but there is no one who is going to save us from tyranny. We have got to do it ourselves.
We don’t have to be violent about it. Look at what happened yesterday in North Carolina. About 150 people were arrested protesting the Republican state government. Now, I don’t agree with why they’re protesting, but it is effective in attracting attention.
Will they succeed in returning NC’s government back to progressive nonsense? I don’t know, I sure hope not. But we’re certainly not going to change what is happening on the Federal level if we just post complaints on Free Republic.
