Letting Slickster off the hook for what must have been a half dozen transgressions was probably the beginning of the end. I mean, if der Slickster got away with it, well, it only encouraged the forces of evil to push the envelope. My question: When will we say this far and no farther? This has been the underlying question that has been around since I joined FreeRepublic in 2000, and we, as a country, have been unwilling to stand up to creeping tyranny. Sooner or later, the camel's back will break.

I can't add anything to that and can't answer your question either.

Stay prepared. Stay safe.

My question: When will we say this far and no farther? This has been the underlying question that has been around since I joined FreeRepublic in 2000

I think the answer to that question lies in these two words: pain threshold.

The people will finally stand and force the government to back up when their pain threshold is exceeded. I'm convinced that Obamacare will do just that.
