Ostrich-size egg .... unless there is something bigger.
If they cut off electricity every night, what happens to their refrigerators/freezers? Or do they not have one?
Well, not in current species
But they will never hear anything pinning the blame on the Obama administration-- look at how the State Department just flat out lied to their faces about Lurch being out sailing while Egypt goes up in flames. I'm sure most everyone heard the State Department denial, but only a few heard the truth.
Nothing will change unless some state governments step up to the plate and start nullifying federal laws and regulations and start arresting federal officials.
The US is already a 'soft' despotism (see Steyn's recent stories on the bunny regulation enforcers) where you can be threatened to be fined into bankruptcy with no legal recourse. We're only a few steps away from political opponents of the regime and priests being arrested and jailed on trumped-up charges for "civil rights" violations for opposing "gay marriage" or abortion.
We can all talk about how we will "resist" individually, but that just means we'll be picked-off one by one. We need politically organized resistance backed by armed men, which is a combination only the state governments have in sufficient measure to be effective.
Of course
