Massive civil disobedience, folks.

ORGANIZED civil disobedience.

What if they wrote a law, and nobody obeyed it?

What if they imposed a tax, and nobody paid it?

Yep. I think that’s where it’s going to start. Like the Colorado baker who refused to to endorse a homo wedding. He has also said he will not comply with the indoctrination order or the reporting requirements. Which puts the ball in the gummint’s court. Either they back down or they take this guy to jail for practicing his religion. If they try the latter and a thousand Christian soldiers stand against them, we’ve got a Bundy ranch situation all over.

Enough of these and we’ll either control this hostile government or it will escalate beyond mere peaceful resistance.

A law, and taxes are imposed by congress, and only signed into law and enforced by the president...

So...If we do not adhere to the “rule of law”, or pay our taxes, are we really in the right???

Don’t get me wrong, if the majority were to rise up and make the changes, when we have that opportunity, you know, those things called elections...

If we fail to get the turnout due to some pesky annoyances that somehow create this apathetic political environment we are living in now...

Who do we really have to blame???

If you wish to act like the fools in Ferguson, Mo., fine...

If you wish to be resolved, and resolute to the purpose for change (in a civil manner), then make sure YOU get up off your azz, get others (most important) to get off their azz, and do what is right, regardless of what you see and hear from now till November...

I do not disagree with your statement...It is what it implies that we (of conservative bent) not adhere to the rule of law...That idea feeds the mindset of political apathy...And that is a win/win for the liberal/socialists that desire to destroy the founding principles of this country once and for all...

It is not quite time to go to gun, for lack of a better term...We need to play this smarter and with more forward thinking than the immediacy of the emotional BS the left pushes on the weak minded in this country...

Governments derive their "just power from the CONSENT of the governed"

We kick and scream about government...overbearing regulations...high taxes...corrupt financial system...destruction of the 2nd Amendment, but fail to stop and think that:

We CONSENT to overbearing regulations every time we ask permission from any government to improve our homes or businesses and need permits...

We CONSENT to high taxes every time we file that 1040...

We CONSENT to a corrupt financial system every time we spend or accept one of those "Federal Reserve Notes"...

We CONSENT to the destruction of our 2nd Amendment every time we walk into a gun store and submit to a background check.

The only way we're going to win is to stop consenting.
