I realize old tactics (call, email, fax, rally) don't work - and told Freepers that over a year ago. I was poo-pooed then, so we employed the old tactics while I patiently asked what we were going to do after they passed healthcare.

My suggestions (back then) require a great deal of organization & commitment to peaceful civil disobedience (note: that's not a military coup) tactics. What I learned is that there's no stomach or will for it.

Let’s face it, Americans have become too fat and lazy to do the hard work of running a country. It isn’t going to change either, at least not until a bunch of other things change first. Much as I hate to think about it, I believe we will have to sustain massive loss of life due to either enemy action or natural disaster before the remainder of people wake up and start to pull themselves out of their rut.

Few people remember that American politics was fairly evenly divided at the end of the 1930s. It took a sneak attack on our navy to get us pulling together against the axis powers. It worked then and it’ll work again. We just need a common enemy that both parties can recognize. Right now we have such an enemy but Zero and his minions are doing everything they can to smooth over forty years of attacks as simply “misunderstandings.”

I don’t know what’s going to happen but I categorically refuse to dismiss any possibility with “it can’t happen here.” It can.
