You have more faith in this people than I do.

I continue to contend that a people who would not resist infringements on their right to free exercise of Christian faith, resist the imposition of homosexuality upon the nation and accepted abortion as just another fact of life - are not a people who are going to resist the rest of their rights taken away as long as they have full bellies and access to their entertainments.

I just don’t see it as something en masse. The PC movement would not exist had these same folks you are confident will rise up and resist did so when the cost was next to nothing.

It’s not so much faith in people as tangible examples to draw from.

I think the issue here is that Americans don’t see a law as a true infringement upon them until they experience the consequences of it directly, or think that they’re about to. As someone said on a recent thread, if you want to see how Americans react to laws they don’t agree with, just hop on the freeway.
