The worst part, FRiend caww, is that we’ve become a nation of talkers, not doers.

As Admiral Yamamoto warned, we could indeed put “a rifle behind every blade of grass.” But what kind of ENORMOUS motivation, what dire shock to the system, will it take to get Americans off their couches and pull those rifles down from the mantlepiece?

We’re suffering the same oppression and tyranny that so infuriated our colonial ancestors, but we are far, far removed from taking a stand on Lexington Green.

I have been wondering that myself. Which straw is going to break our back. Treason at the highest levels of our government and we seem to think that if we just wait it out, someone wearing a white hat will come and save us at high noon.

The corruption has saturated every single level of our government from smalltown, USA to the House on the Hill. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere left to turn, but we continue searching for a miracle.

Well, miracles happen, but some of them have a price. The founding of this country was a miracle. The price was almost insurmountable, but our forefathers paid it and we have wasted it. I don’tknow if such a miracle will happen again. I don’t know if we even deserve such a miracle anymore. But if it does happen, the price will be far greater for us than it was for them. Who is willing to risk that? What will it take? I shudder to contemplate the answer to that.

I understand your frustration, many feel that way as well. But I still think folks are pretty much banking on the 2012 election to change the course we're on, even though we’ll have a mess to clean up after this administration...we always do. My concern is BO still has two years left and I just can't see anyone able to stop this train before the election.

America isn't hurting enough for them to take up arms and I'm not convinced this is the way to go. We're survivors in this nation and can endure rough waters....for a time...but if this administration continues as it is and escalates things further I do wonder what it will be that breaks the camels back.
