I think it will take a lot more than merely demanding as individuals that Progressives cease their rhetoric: we need to organize a national effort to stand up to their bullying tactics, make it plain that what they are doing will lead to violence, and inform Americans that inciting such violence is exactly what they want.

We, on the other hand, wish to be left alone, free to work and create and pray without being assaulted by left-wing radicals who preach hatred and demand unearned benefits at the point of a gun.

Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi were brilliant at non-violent resistance. They both died for it, but won millions of followers, and ultimately, their battles. I think it is worth a try, before we start building barricades. But for the record: all my guns are loaded, always.

Only problem with that, is that we don't control the airwaves, the left does. They're only going to allow what messages and images they approve of, to get out. Even then, you can be sure that they will use them to twist what we're really saying into some lie that supports their suppressive agenda.

Yes, we now have our own unofficial information channels and communication routes, but they're still mostly our home network. The zombie drones on the left aren't exposed to them.

The state-run media is going to continue to push the coordinated message that the Tea Party is dangerous and extremist, and they will do this over every protestation from the right. Bank on it.
