Re: point about being distracted.

My guess is that Zer0 will manufacture an international crisis so he will look patriotic and have all the Dems and GOP join him looking the same. Symbolically, like 9/11 when we were all Americans.

While he is busy engaging his “crisis”, the healthcare becomes less visible and is quietly being implemented with less opposition.

Prager’s “Liberals” are partly old fashioned liberals (what we would call a centrist Republican now) and partly a figment of his imagination (Prager once opined that Jimmy Carter governed as a Liberal). Still, the yet to be enlightened Americans will better understand what’s going on if they are called Left.

I’m getting irritated at the overuse of the term “civil war”.
Law-abiding rhetoric isn’t.

RECOMMEND: Insert at position #1 on the list:

Pray aloud--- and cry out to the Living God, for forgiveness of our many national sins -- and deliverance from dark forces that have usurped authority -- and threaten our liberties.

*******

Just food for thought...

Nah. None of those steps will work. God gave his formula for such things in 2 Chronicals 7.

If Christians will
1) Humble themselves
2) Pray
3) Seek God’s face
4) Turn from their wicked ways

Then He’ll heal our land. That’s it. The fact that all this is happening is proof that we’re failing to do all of those 4 things.

2. Recognize that we are fighting the Left Fascists, not liberals.

While Left implies more government, they need to be tied more firmly to ideas that establish government planning and control.

he key to defeating the tyranny that is seated in the Congress, Senate, and Executive of the United States is for "We, the People" to get a quick and thorough understanding of the principles underlying our own Constitution's provisions and protections.

Nothing else will do!

Talk won't suffice. "Issues-oriented" arguments against this or that bill or effort in the Congress or by the Executive Branch won't do.

Understanding and articulating the underlying principles of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and then coordinating efforts to defeat violations of those principles is the beginning of a return to what Jefferson called the "only path to peace, liberty, and safety."

Fortunately, there are many sites providing quick and easy access to the necessary information. The Liberty Fund has a library which contains original documents, speeches, and writings. One Congressional Candidate has a web site which is a marvelous resource for literally hundreds of documents, books, e-books, and original writings. Then, there is Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny," and Stedman & Lewis's "Our Ageless Constitution." That 292-page book is a treasury of information and documents, including 25 illustrated and easy-to-read essays, each page explaining a principle underlying the Constitution. These may be used for learning and teaching the ideas, using the Founders' own words.

The tyrants who now control Washington are not intellectually equipped to combat the geniuses who formed and framed the United States Constitution. They think they are smart, intellectual, and "progressive." The truth is they are only petty tyrants, pseudointellectuals, and get by with their actions only because America's citizens have not been taught the ideas of liberty. When confronted with those ideas, the counterfeit and "regressive" ideas of the Clintons, Obamas, Reids, Pelosis, and all the others can and will be exposed.

Acknowledging the role of Divine Providence at the beginning and throughout America's history would be helpful also.

Listening to Winton Phipps' youtube video of "Heal This Land" may help with the anger, as well.

I really hate it when leftists called themselves liberal. It is a misnomer. Liberal means to bring on change. The left is opposed to change and want to maintain the status quo. The left is the reactionary, while the right is revolutionary.

This is all fine and dandy. Problem is this approach is about 5 years too late. IMO what’s happening now is worse than what happened in 2001. The approach to internal threats should mirror that of the external.

NO!! It is NOT a “civil war.” That would suggest that Americans are fighting Americans. The left is NOT made up of actual Americans, but rather of America HATERS. These are people with nothing but contempt for both the nation and its people. What I desperately hope we’ll engage in is a second American revolution. Just like the first, it will be a battle of actual Americans against enemies of America.

I agree with the Seven Steps but am underwhelmed. They are not going to get us out of the mess we are in. There are only two ways out (1) a general collapse (Heaven forbid,) or (2) a resurrection of the Tenth Amendment.

The Tenth Amendment has been dumped in the garbage can while the Federal government grew and grew and Federal judges made up law out of whole cloth (”penumbras”) or overreached with the Commerce clause.

I can only hope that the States overwhelmed by unfunded Federal mandates, and since today by Medicaid costs impossible for them to bear, will use their collective power to amend the Constitution to hamstring the Federal government and bring us back to sanity.

Well we have to start to call Them The LIARS they are when they claim that Monstrosities like this are going to Lower the Deficit. We have to show some passion by RAISING our voices and Not letting them take credit for the few little positives in a Bill and Blaming everybody else for the Terrible consequences of theri actions ,Bankrupting the country for instance.
