Why is the first reaction of conservatives to wring their hands and say “oooh that won’t work because of this.... and that won’t work because of that. Rush is beginning to sound like that. Nothing we do will work!!!!
Well, for Heaven’s sake at least try it. Try something.!!

I completely disagree with your contention that this is a "wringing of hands" response. It is first to identify the coming persecution, which many are blindly ignoring.

The next steps will be to boldly, but with love, continue to proclaim the truth and live according to our Christian as long as we can. I expect to eventually be jailed for doing so.

Thirdly, keeping a calm head and control of one's emotions (!!) will help a lot too. Trust in God; He is in control.
