Can you name one Amendment, aside from quartering, that ISN’T hanging by a thread? Anything that DOESN’T require govt permission, some fee/tax/toll?

Did not We the People elect (R) into all 3 houses in the past decade? We got BIGGER govt, faster (TSA, DHS, NSA, NCLB...). Did we not sweep Congress this past election? And what did We get? Nada...we get to foot another bill for the big $$ donators (PP, exec. amnesty, Ex-Im Bank).

Even our States, per your definition, are no longer ‘free govt’ entities (NY, CA, IL..).

How many MORE of these peaceful attempts before We finally decide enough is enough? Or, do We too wait until the herding onto the box-cars to finally attempt to break the shackles We allowed to be placed?

To resort to violence is to take on the enemy on their own turf. They have overwhelming force and will smash resistance before it occurs, which is happening now. The days of flintlock v. flintlock are long gone

But okay, I'll go along. Tell me what happens after the victorious Freeper Army sweeps aside the forces of evil.
