But there are a few more steps to this dance between here and there.

The tenth amendment movement sets up the conflict between two "legitimate" entities instead of the feds being able to "put down a rebellion".

And we'll get a lot more support if the feds attempt to use force against our elected state representatives than against a bunch of "rednecks with assault rifles".

Speak for yourself, sam. You want to pack it in, that’s fine.

What are you waiting for? Go do what needs to be done. Early adoption doesn’t have career longevity prospects, but someone needs to get the ball rolling.

This is exactly what I'm talking about!!! FR doesn't create "three musketeers." It doesn't join people on partial common gorunds.

It isolates into sneering factions.

Obama couldn't have created a better site to effectively crush his opposition if he had wanted to.

Considering the quality of some of the stuff that has been appearing here, it’s more like FR is splitting people along common gerunds...

I’m hoping all this rhetoric is maintained (backed up) to the elections in November 2010...

What might be interesting is to see how some areas regain some things at the local level this November...

I hate Obama for making me think this could happen.

I've got a faded recollection of Golda Meir saying "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children; we cannot forgive them for making us kill theirs."

Sometime in the next 12-18 months, a line may be crossed and, if so, someone in a position to do so will hit the reset button.

What sort of position would that person hold?

Being a Brit living in Canada at the moment..I really shouldn’t stick my nose in this bowl of dog phlem. But looking back on your last election for Presi..I really can’t see who the hell you guys could have voted for.

I know if I had been in that voting booth I would have gone cross eyed and squirrely.. trying to choose between a self confessed super hero who won’t admit to beeing born.. and a little old man who has had his 15 minutes of fame and is now trying for another 15 minutes.

Can anyone on here tell me what the choice was? To my uneducated eyes Ralph Nader is looking good...(kidding.)

Blah blah blah. Keep forwarding the emails in ALL CAPS to people who already agree with you. Yeah. That works so freaking well.

OK Genius. What's your solution?

You’re wrong,sam. I’ll stand and fight with you and anybody else against tyranny. I’m sure there are things on which we disagree. But I feel we’d be on the same page here. Regardless of anything else,I believe you, me, and the vast majority of people on FR would stand for liberty.

The Dems played the “change” card and voters went with the super hero—a Chicago machine politician taking it national.
I held my nose and voted for McCain. At least I knew he would have a strong stance against the Islamo-terrorists. And living in Chicago, I knew what O had planned for the rest of the country.

>It's that first step that's the hardest, ...

Which makes moot any further discourse except how to do that first step.

Focus is what is needed, and needed right now.
The rest is dreaming.

spray graffiti on the exterior.

Maybe he will paint it a different color? He must be mad with rage having to live in the White House, where not one predecessor has "looked like him."

not a litmus test when America started to unravel. She's been decaying with each new generation for 40 years in our schools.

HEAR HEAR! Give me 1000 men with such conviction and I shall find a lever to move the world!

There are millions and millions of Americans who would want to go into open revolt against this government. But we don’t know how. If we ever figure out how to take that first step, I think things will happen very, very fast.

We need to learn from the Founders. Organize. Debate and come to a concensus in a positive sense - not just how bad things are and that where we are at is bad, but agree on where we want to go. Once we know that we can begin working on the plan to go from Point A to Point B.

We need another Jefferson, and another Washington (in due time). We need to raise such men up, and not let character assassins or secondary considerations drag them down.

Speaking of Jefferson, we need a manifesto, which would reflect the consensus of the productive class, outlining what is wrong, why it is wrong, and what need to be done in our government to set it right. Along the lines of the Declaration of Independence. And then make it clear that if the government won't heed this, we are prepared to force the issue (this is where the need for a Washington, and willing troops, arises).

Just thinking out loud...

Don't let anyone get away with the notion that voting a Marxist into the whitehouse will be a good way to teach someone a lesson.

We agree on that, then. I held my nose and voted for Juan McCain b/c of Sarah Palin. I still am very impressed with her.

There's not going to be any 'armed revolt.' Don't lie to yourself.

I don't disagree with you necessarily.

However, IIRC the percentage of Americans that actively participated in the war for independence was not a large number (~25%).

Why do you anguish & worry about this when our country is being destroyed by the very people who wouldn't bat an eye to line you against a wall????

It seems like the first thing that some conservative FReepers do when the subject of taking back our country from the socialist-communist usurper Oboooombi & his socialist thugs come up, is to start getting all teary eyed over protecting those poor socialist miscreants. Believe me, socialists care nothing about salvaging any conservative lives in their fanaticism to force socialism & bankruptcy & Zimbabwean type results on America. They want to destroy us, plain & simple. If lining up the socialists against the wall is what is needed to overthrow socialism-communism that is destroying our country and to take our country back, then so be it. I won't shed a tear or sympathy for any socialists ever. They don't shed any tears or remorse for us.....ever.

We are at war already in this country, against a ruthless, no holds barred, socialist-fascist-communism Obooombi & his socialist demoRAT party of thugs....we need to realize that and quit playing nicey with people who want to destroy us and our children. The RNC & much of political republicanism is so squeamish about even attacking Oboooombi's socialist programs & runaway spending, that it isn't even close to calling for any type of open rebellion against the One (piss be upon him). It's the last thing we need to worry about, when we can't even voice a strong opposition to Obooombi's socialism for fear of being called a racist or "not supportive" of this usurper.
