That is exactly what I'm talking about. Think of the founding of the country, people risking everything to establish freedom for the country. Valley Forge, the spirit of the pioneers, the greatest generation standing rock solid against the nazis.
Now we have some sap thinking that all you have to do is send in your tax return.
and of course, the catch all punishment would be called Catch 22

Emanuel: “Diversity is strength” “The Common Experience”
Communism: “Unity in diversity” “The Common Good”
I concede your point but still think you are failing to credit the communists with the ability they have shown numerous times.
yes 99.99% of our military would never think of shooting an innocent. yes the same people would never think to use their force upon American civilians.
It won’t come about overnight, it will be small steps accompanied with massive propaganda. For example the recent exercise in Iowa to search house to house for a ‘weapons dealer’. Those troops have no idea what they are really doing and are just following orders.
People with evil intent will seek out the more gullible, power hungry or whatever and will create their version of the SS or Gestapo. Next a specific class of people will be selected for persecution. This will help to unify the compliant and divide those who dissent. My guess is that it will be Christians or people who refused to accept the gay lifestyle. That’s how Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Chavez (he’s trying), Castro did it. Of course some were more efficient at killing.
The shot heard around the world IMO will initially be suppressed by the media but will get out with todays technology.
One thing to keep in mind is the importance of a short wave radio.
It would be too easy for information to be controlled and outright eliminated...without communications we would virtually be "in the dark"
We should hit the major intersections in all cities across the country with protest signs. Every single day, someone different with a different sign. Coordinate it per city. Shouldn’t be hard to do. Good grief people. We gotta start somewhere.
Well, depending on circumstances it could also be termed, weight control.
“If anyone else has another take please share?”
Okay. It makes me really, really sick...and furious.
LOL! It is where the existing government radically changes the forms and structures of society, instead of when the populace radically changes the government. Please review your notes from that history course with the alternate title "Revolutions Compared". Don't forget that well written tome "The Coming of the French Revolution" by Lefevbre.
I would never forget the power of the commies but this is different in my view. So far we have the ability to stop what we see is occuring the queston is will we. I have faith that we will. You scenario is entirely plausable too and at some point it will be too much, I hope.
The difference is those people risked everything to establish freedom because they WANTED to do it. No one FORCED them to do it. I do not think that the only thing I owe my country is my taxes. I also dont believe my country should FORCE me to do anything except obey the law. Forced service to the country will not cause patriotism any more than rape causes one to fall in love with the rapist.
“They all sing that same tune, “we want to work with the President.”
Does that mean that they are cowards or traitors—or cowardly traitors? Traitorous cowards? Vile scum? Exactly what could prompt a human being to utter those words, when the president is Chairman Maobama?
I’ll Freepmail you. I don’t have much in the way of specifics right now, still caffeinating, but the red text at the bottom of the Posting window still applies.
God bless you for posting this.
Father we call forth thy gracious intercession! Help us in this hour of challenge to America.
amen
In general, I’d recommend that everyone read and really understand everything Alinksy wrote. If they haven’t read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, get to it. They’re both in audiobooks, too.
