They are playing a kind of flex defense against anything we do. They seem to keep it just below the level of outrage that would spark strong, massive, no holds barred resistance and repudiation. Here we have evidence of outrageous interference with the voting process itself, and yet the wronged candidates, for the most part, do nothing but meekly submit like scolded children. We are dealing with a deeper set of problems.
1) We have become so culturally balkanized we cannot muster a unified response to a direct threat to our existence. It is as if we are on some drug that allows us to see what is happening but paralyzes us and prevents us from lifting a finger in our own defense.
2) We now live in a culture where the appeal to law as a moral force has almost no effect. “They shouldn’t do that,” means nothing to those who are dedicated to stealing our freedoms. Yet we pound away at that deserted target, hoping someday it will finally work. That’s not where the enemy lives. The only thing they will recognize is consequences, reliable cause and effect. This is like the problem of disciplining a child once they have learned there will be no more punishments for bad deeds. Words that appeal to our higher nature can only affect those who still have a responsive higher nature, a conscience. The rest, for all intents and purposes, have the listening skills of zombies.
3) It is just easier to sit at home and complain, or get on line and complain, than to do something that costs time, effort, and money. I tried rounding up people here in Springfield for conservative political action, and had promises, but no follow-up, no real support. Your real commitments always show up in where you invest your time, treasure and talent. Always. Based on my (admittedly limited and anecdotal) experience, our commitment to really winning this conflict is radically lower than our bluster would suggest.
I could go on. But these would be sufficient to cripple any sustained resistance. This is a marathon, not a sprint. They have been laboring for this day for a century or more. Their “work” has paid off. We are like Sampson, accustomed to having and using the great natural strength given us by God to shrug off any insurgent like a pesky gnat. But our hair has been cut, our strength diminished, the divine cause of our strength denied, even here on FR. And now we gasp with amazement at our own inability to respond, as Soros and his friends bind us with flimsy devices our forefathers would have laughed at, and overcome in a moment.
We are not who we used to be, who we remember being, and we will have to address that if we really want out of the prison that is slowly but relentlessly being built around us.
Peace,

In My mind, there’s a possibility that the regime has planned a humongous blood-letting, to intimidate the populace to fall in line, a la, Soviet Union, paving the way for self-proclamation of BHO as POTUS for life.
Also, I would not be surprised if BHO has delusions of grandeur and aspires to murder more people than his hero Uncle Joe Stalin did......tens of millions.
And lest we forget; the various departments of the government acquired millions of rounds of ammunition this past summer; for what purpose? I’ll make a wild guess that they do not intend to give those bullets out as party favors!
We got your back Jim. I just hope the GOP is listening to us. They better not dare lurch to the left.
If not now, when?
When: Between now and no more than two years from now.
We have a president who is a coward in foreign policy and a leftist radical with respect to the Constitution. He is destroying the military and has driven a stake though whatever might have been left of our Culture.
The truth is History took a holiday not when the Soviet Union fell but rather when she rose to create her half of the bipolar world. When she fell inertia pushed America to this point in history. The two term Obama presidency now destroys what was left of the military as well as the "respect" (fear) other nations may have had for us and thus releases every pent up force through 50 years to do the mischief that the superpowers damped down. Watch Islam and Israel, China and Russia...Chaos will come to the world.

An interesting scenario was presented in the Vince Flynn novel, “Term Limits”.
I suggest that the first thing conservatives do is attend your local village, county and schoolboard meetings and throw all the leftists out of office. You can’t do revolution if you don’t have a secure political base. Cleaning up your neighborhoods is a start.
See the Founder’s Committees of Safety for instructions.
“Committees of Safety formed in 1774 to keep watch on the distrusted royal government. By 1775 they had become the operating government of all the colonies, as the royal officials were expelled....

The GOP is as much a symptom of the problem as anything else...the “election” worked out great...if you live in DC and suck off the teat..or are a Congresscritter retailing bits and pieces of ObamaCare...
‘Bammy is the best thing ever to happen to DC...they’re pleased even if our vote has been disenfranchised.
Well said, Jim. I am with you 141% and am ready to yake this fight to the only place the left knows - the street.
Let’s roll!
Words used to be the coin of the realm - meaningful dialogue and reason. But now? We can say something sensible and kind and it is said to be a “dog whistle” for hateful, racist things. They can call for bringing guns to knife fights, getting revenge and are cheered on. People supposed to be representing us speak of “reaching out” and “what we did wrong”, their guys speak of going over, around, under the barrier.Their leadership is filled with true believers and warriors, while we have a lot of people who want to be loved. To be fair, it is probably an easier thing to ask of someone to go increase their own powers by growing government, than to send people in to essentially defund their own power.
Do we need to have something like “cells” of us in case communications among us are somehow thwarted? Do we need code words to avoid the internet searches?Do we stay home on “Black Thursday” and “Black Friday”? (I do anyway).
What do we do now that we seem to be in the “So-be-it” Union? How to break the stranglehold of MSM and Hollywood?
I have been a registered Republican since 1960. I’m seriously considering changing my registration to Independent. What do you folks think about abandoning the Republican party? (We keep getting McCains & Romneys)
The admitted Marxist Obama swore an oath to defend the constitution but is now aiming to destroy it by his own hand, and to destroy American liberty, all in the name of economic and social justice, redistributionism and REVENGE!FYI, nutmeg.A true leftist revolutionary wannabe dictator now sits on his throne, scheming to mete out his brand of justice and revenge, unencumbered by the "flawed constitution," the courts, the threat of removal by election or, with traitor Reid in charge, removal from office by impeachment.
The Boss weighs in.
He’s STILL sawing on that devil’s fiddle now? You gotta be kidding me... or again maybe you aren’t.
if you want to resist... then start small
start a push to have the divisions of elections from all states supply the credentials they collected for the handful of federal elections that was their job/duty to manage
if they did not collect the required documentation...
1. demand they be held accountable (election fraud if nothing else)
2. demand they get the documentation, post election, before certifying the vote to congress
3. demand congress insist on the REQUIRED documentation before certifying the vote at the federal level
this will force 0bama and crew to submit the documentation... OFFICIALLY... which they have avoided since 2008 when it was first pointed out by PBerg, one of hillary’s attorneys
if ANY candidates do not comply... then they do not qualify for office
failure to hold EVERY candidate seeking federal office to such simplistic requirements undermines the very fabric of the rule of law.
there simply is no good reason this should not be done
Bold words, but no mention of how?
The how is the crux of the matter
The military takes an oath to protect the Constitution and the American people. How can they take that oath and still not see Oboma for what he is? I can't help but ask myself "Where are they when we need them?"
So many states are petitioning for succession right now. People know their country is being attacked from within, and they want out because no one is there to protect their liberty. Where is our military? What are they doing right now? Are they even noticing?
The Leftist Revolution swung into the final stages on November 4, 2008. 2012-2016 will be the finishing touches. But that is not the question. The question is what will we do? The answer to that question is still pending, but, one way or the other it will be answered.
where...
