The problem isn’t in the planning. It is in the motivation. Why get together? Who are we going to fight? The government? The liberal next door? College professors? At this point in time, we are still comfortable. We have our full bellies, full gas tanks, 24/7 power and water, electronics out the wazoo, a church on every corner, etc.

If we band together in 1990’s style militia, the government will just infiltrate them with informants, so staying disorganized is best. When we’ve lost enough comforts, we might band together and fight, but we still don’t know who to fight.

I believe that the American people would be very content with slavery as long as the lights and water stays on, cable TV and internet porn and gaming keeps working, we keep on getting new electronics every few years, and the restaurants stay open. These people will send their kids to bureaucrats for indoctination, they’ll surrender most of the guns and bury the rest, and they’ll accept high taxes in exchange for free stuff.

Of course, at some point, we’ll have all that...and then our Chinese masters will move the factories over here so we can produce cheap junk for their consumer class. And by then, it will be too late.

Socialism is the rule of the most ruthless, using the common man's conceit, over the most gifted and accomplished.

...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

I don't know what y'all are complaining about...we simply aren't "there" yet.
