The seed has been planted. Will it grow or will it die? That depends on each one of us. Thomas Jefferson exhorted us to refresh the tree of liberty with blood of patriots and tyrants.
This nation might have been saved the coming agonies, if we had parted amicably. That time is past; there will be a parting and it awaits the tipping point.
This is certainly true, however, I think most folks do not realize that when it gets right down to it, congresscritters are cowards. The overwhelming majority of them are in public office because they couldn't make it in the private sector. If you've ever met a few of them, as I have, then you'll know what I mean. They fear nothing more than losing an election because they know if they do, it's back to the private sector where their BS doesn't fly.
At this point I don't believe blood is necessary to refresh the tree of Liberty. Showing up and confronting your congresscritter when they make public appearances, as I did recently with mine, and keeping up the phone calls to their offices, writing them letters, using every available opportunity to teach conservatism, etc., might be all that is necessary. This is not a liberal country and won't ever become one unless we let it. Right now, we face Obamalamadingdong because far too many Conservatives sat on their hands in the last two elections. Far too many of us sat idly by and allowed the Republican controlled Congress and GWB to let spending get completely out of hand. Now, we are paying the price for that apathy.
If we continue to do nothing, or if only a few are involved, these weasels will think everyone is in agreement with them. We need to show them that is not the case, over and over and over, as many times as it takes....

Oh goodie. And what will you do when you catch that tiger by the tail, and turn the dirt into a crimson mess?
The Founding Fathers had a plan for a free America. Revolutionaries without a plan are no more than destructive thugs.
