I believe that you are cautious. However, more and more of us are recognizing that we have been unwilling participants in a civil war that has been waged against us in the name of tolerance and diversity and justice.
We have not recognized that while we thought that we were just in disagreement, the other side had declared war on us.
“I believe that you are cautious.”
You are correct.
First, many FReepers have direct knowledge of what has been foisted on our nation beginning in the 1960’s. We knew about Ayers when he wasn’t just a (”respectable”) guy in the neighborhood.
And yes, without going into my background, certainly more than at any other time of my life I am exceedingly cautious. This is not a state v state controversy, it is a government v citizen dispute. And, apart from O and Pelosi, there are a couple hundred dedicated socialists in our government; over a hundred of which came out of the closet even prior to Sunday. Many know “Slaughter Rule” Slaughter is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
They have an agenda and, as we have seen since the 60’s, they are willing to play hardball. If we are not successful with the 2010 elections, it seems mosts likely sometime thereafter we will be challenged to take bold action.
You have heard this before, but O and his handlers will seize any opportunity to find an emergency that increases their power. For example, folks talk about not paying federal taxes: “what, are they going to arrest all of us?”
Yes, its possible they could arrest us all in a global sense. They could conclude defiant non-payment of taxes is a real threat to the existence of government and declare martial law. Even if it is only a sizeable number of non-payers they could come with their new shotguns and seize assets.
So, in my view, it seems essential that we proceed cautiously until we see what the 2010 elections bring.
Sorry for the rant.
