To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
The reason that Christians will not rise en mass to revolt against the system is that most Christians have decent jobs and need to keep those jobs in order to support their families.

Christians will remain mum in order to keep those jobs.

The one mistake that the leftists could make is for them to create a situation where lots of Christians started losing their jobs due to supposed violations of diversity nonsense or holding opinions that the company deems to be out of step with their mission statement.

Until there is no downside to rebellion, Christians by and large won't rebel.

We need someone to say that it is OK for Christians to go on welfare as a form of protest against the evil system that the US has devolved into.

If millions of Christians were to quit their jobs at the same time, go on welfare, and live together in safe, protected homeless communities then something might happen.

Other than that I can see no hope for the US regardless of who wins the next election.

This has already happened. Whether its illegal aliens taking construction jobs from the skilled tradesmen or H1B Visa holders from foreign IT service companies taking IT jobs from the computer science graduates, the blue and white collar middle class has been taking it in the shorts for years. And don’t forget the abortionists and sodomites who have now made it dangerous to work for any mainstream corporation because of PC speech and behavior codes. Why don’t you just admit that you are part of the cowardly and craven group of slackers who would roll over for any tinpot dictator that comes on the scene and quit lying about how your lukewarm Christianity justifies your acquiescence.

That is indeed the reason. They have chosen security over liberty.

"Protest?" That is essentially a tax revolt, and a perfect solution which will never happen, since people are sheep and they prefer security. (Jefferson: Mankind more disposed to suffer...) A coordinated "strike" or walkout would fix the problem in a few weeks because the government can't exist without loot, and vast numbers of welfare recipients would riot when the system collapsed at the first default. Government surrender would be inevitable. Unfortunately, it takes timing -- coordination -- and the evidence (that would be history) strongly suggests that we as a nation don't have two revolutionaries left to rub together for this effort.
