“Yes, but the left’s riots did not earn them anything except headlines.
Then the left infiltrated the schools, media and now the gov’t. That worked.
We have to use legal means. It's frustrating sometimes but anything else will destroy what we're standing for.
We can vote. We can work with the media and the schools. (TX just had a breakthrough with the books.)
We can sue. Even if we don't like lawyers, they will work for anyone who pays them.
We can petition. We can pester our reps until they see the light.
There is a huge legal machine already in place to make democracy work.
Let's use it. Yes it's slower than molasses but it is legal.

I sense there are people who are itching for a civil war but if it goes that far, everyone will lose.
Let's use words instead of violence as long as it's at all possible.”

I agree, but there needs to be an or else. The founders of this nation did not start the revolution and move toward independence. It is something that grew for decades. During those many years, the founders and their predecessors tried every single means toward reform. They petitioned, they begged. They did not one day just up and decide to start shooting Redcoats. They tried it all. And it ALL FAILED. It failed like it always fails. It always fails because the master or ruling entity has no reason whatsoever to negotiate or accommodate the weak. There's no incentive either.

If you vote, petition, protest and it still fails, then what? We have been doing those things. Regan, 1994, George W Bush, at each point conservatives did their part, government only grew larger So we elect Republicans in November, will this time be any different? History tells us it won't be.

I agree, but there needs to be an or else.

We have not exhausted all legal channels yet by a long shot.
The "or else" is the fact that we are the majority right now.
That could change very quickly if some hothead does something stupid.
We must stay cool but determined and keep up the pressure.
When we fought Britain, they were on the other side of the ocean while Washington is right in our midst.
Using guns against Washington is akin to removing a brain tumor by shooting yourself in the head.
Let's try some legal chemo first.
Prepare for civil war if you must but for God's sake don't start it yourself.
Remember how costly the last one was.
