From the People’s Democratic Worker’s Socialist Paradise of Nueva York I say: Tar is cheap, and feathers are plentiful.

And with the clown fest that is Albany New York, I doubt they’d notice extra feathers and tar.

Those leaders are out there, they are called staunch conservatives. A corrupt and sneering press corp will do all in their power to keep them from rising to leadership positions.

I have already decided that when the time comes, and it will, that the government tries to force me into their health “care” policy I will be making the news.

I will not sign up.
I will not pay the fines.
I will not voluntarily surrender to the eventual warrants.
I will defend my physical being with all the requried force.

No government will have control of my physical being, and my spiritual being will defend it rigorusly (sp?).

This splendid tale of resistance involved a firm objective, then somebody took the lead and action was taken. That’s a winning combination!

In our current national crisis, however, we are lacking both an objective and leadership, or we’d be in the trenches right this minute.

Our forefathers dumped real tea into a real harbor to protest a real tax. We need something real to focus on, not just words.

Anybody got any ideas?

Oh, the 2010 elections will happen,
but it remains to be seen if they’ll be a sham.

Saddam had elections, as has Hugo.

2010 will be a good indicator about whether the
ballot box of freedom is still viable,

or if it’s time to move on to the next and final box.

The real Tea Party
cost the government money
enraged the King
and was done with impunity.

Gotta get more creative, folks.

YES.

It was the day that never happened.
Because it never happened you never heard about it.

I still think of how history would have changed if it did happen - even if it was to total fiasco, but fiasco's only happen to the "Faint of Heart" not to those who Risk all that they have for something Good and Noble.

We took a step into the void and then stepped back when things worked out as they did. It is truly a strange thing to have been involved with.

It is as if we stepped into another dimension, reality changed (for the better) and then we stepped back into our "old" reality (and nobody was the wiser.

I agree with you in principle — let’s see how things develop. Your “final box” is not one most can even conceive, and not one that sane people wish to leap into on a whim.

“Your “final box” is not one most can even conceive, and not one that sane people wish to leap into on a whim. “

You’re correct, of course, but the downside to that is that some folks (hopefully a TINY minority) will continue to dither until it’s too late for the opening of that last box to do any good. Timing is the key... and I am not 100% sure we HAVE as long as another 18 months. I HOPE we do, for I do NOT want to be the one to open the ammo box if it’s not completely necessary!

Agreed! I’m not sure we really have 18 months either. I am quite certain that, barring a miracle, if there is not a dramatic change in Congress in 2010, and in light of the Census, which will undoubtedly make it all but impossible for Conservatives (even Republicans) to win an election in 2012, we’ll cross the point of no return... Exactly WHAT that means, I have no clue — nor does anyone else. But, timing is the key, as you say. I have NO plan to “lock and load” first — but I don’t want to wait til they are dragging “troublemakers” out of their homes either... Know what I mean?
