If your question was directed at me, I am not advocating an armed rebellion...has not worked well before and won’t now because the media will portray any group doing this as wide eyed rightwing zoobies.

The way back is to get behind leaders who support your cause i.e. 400K marched on DC against abortion the other day, thousands marched locally against second amendment violations etc. We are never going to convince the 100% committed lefties to change, we don’t have to, but we must convince the 70% or so who are not committed lefty voters to move toward conservatism views.

The last election was a good example, Romney and presumable more than a few republicans lost elections because not enough people voted for them. The lefties were not able to duplicate their turnout from 08. A few hundered K changes in votes for the non obama, not just into not voting, and the outcome of the election and the course of the country would have been altered. Maybe not the conservative panacia we would like but at least the jerk would not have been free to turn ever farther to the left then he was before. Inertia must be stopped before change can occur.

Just like turning a ship, change is not going to happen overnight.

Nor am I advocating armed rebellion.

Will marching, protesting and demonstrations do any good when the sheer numbers we are up against seem insurmountable?

I'm not sure Liberty will survive this assault from the collectivists. With just under half the country working for the FedGovt or dependent on it, and then add 15-20+ Million in Illegals via amnesty...just WTF!?
