I gave up writing, waving signs and calling our non-representative representatives years ago. What a waste of time.

Just dealing with the bureaucratic arrogance of the SOBs who answered their phones made me uncivil.

The problems and anger has been brewing since the 2008 Bailout by George Bush. At least since that point things have gone mush worse than expected.

I see the seeds of a a new American Revolution have been sown and I expect it will as bloody as the first.

Thanks for the link.

I disagree with classic civil disobedience where people organize and break some law. It implicitly assumes that the other side is civil and cares about how many people they toss in jail. Given the rise of the prison industry and its cronies, I think its safe to assume that caesar would happily lock up half the population and tax the other half to keep them in jail. I also think conservatives are more effective while out of jail than in. So I think CD is largely a fool’s errand.

That is not to say that I suggest blind obedience. I think that’s almost as silly. No, what I think conservatives should be doing is using all the tools at our disposal to go around the edicts and dictats. For example, to this day I cannot understand why any healthy person or family would consent to obamacare or the penalty. There are the health sharing ministries and numerous waivers and exceptions. As for things like being forced to bake cakes for homosexuals, who in their right mind would have a business like that in the open anyway? That’s just inviting trouble from a parade of petty bureaucrats and criminals.

l see no reason to advocate law breaking. However it hasn’t missed my notice that 30 million illegal aliens seem to be doing just fine by operating under the radar.
