And this is what it comes to. The fedgov will not do as they are mandated and the American people have to stand to protect our sovereignty. At the moment is Texas...already I know some in Arizona who have been doing this for years. We are reaching a tipping point.

    There are many pieces of legislation that create their own crises, however. Public housing comes to mind, as do many of the so-called banking reform bills. Obamacare is a perfect example of creating a crisis. Keynesian economic policy is a stupendous example of perpetually ongoing "crises".

    I'd say that there are plenty of man-made crises that then spur on more snowballing fixes.

    "And if you don't want to wait for the crisis, you invent or stage one to force the issue."
    Perhaps, but crises come on their own eventually, and the people with the agenda aren't able to pull it off without getting caught. We have a tendency to want to associate big effects with big causes, i.e. since Bush or Obama used a crisis to push through something big, maybe they orchestrated it. I think they almost never do. They just don't let a good crisis go to waste.

    They also did a rehash just a few years ago. The original was pretty good. Haven't seen the reboot yet.

    Precisely. And if you don't want to wait for the crisis, you invent or stage one to force the issue.

    "how are you going to convince the masses?"
    I don't think the majority would reject the idea of planning ahead. The problem is there's no impetus to do it before the crisis materializes. There is an incentive for people with unpopular ideas to wait for a crisis to promote them.

    Our disagreement is not deep. One 'picks ones battlefield' in time as well as in space.

    Actually Fivedollargold IS a chessplayer. Your point is well taken. We will have to disagree on this. Fivedollar's take on it is that the GOP needs to take the Senate in November. We are one Supreme Court justice away from absolute liberal tyranny. We got a taste of it when Justice Roberts flipped and essentially one man gave us Ovomitcare. The effort of the militias is laudable but short-sighted. Their effort would be better spent drumming up grassroots' support for conservative candidates this fall.

    The "tipping point." An excuse to declare martial law? Obama has become the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing. Even to some of his avid supporters. Because you see, once the wolf gets going in the herd, he doesn't recognize anything but his wolf-pack. Everyone that's not a wolf gets slaughtered.

    somehow I think if they went all Reno on them...it wouldn't turn out the same way that the other travesty in Texas did

    "The threat is greater than the execution"
    I am not a chess player, but I am told that this is a maxim amongst those who are. We can refrain from action forever because we fear that our deeds will be used against our philosophy. But there will never be an end to the 'crises' that can potentially be manufactured: the stock market, terrorist attack, disaster (as mentioned by edweaver below). If we let the threat of these crises rule our deeds then we are forever impotently frozen in place.

    It is true, $5Au, that this might be a trigger cause (and might be scripted as such by people who want to suppress freedom), but the American people do not have to follow the script. For instance: What if Texans supported the militia even after a manufactured crises were publicized? It could then be a rallying point that could turn public opinion.

    I do not think that we can afford to let our actions be determined by fear of being used.

    A quite from a President and Commander-in-Chief far, far different than the "Occupy Whitehouse" person currently residing there...

    "One legislator accused me of having a nineteenth-century attitude on law and order. That is a totally false charge. I have an eighteenth-century attitude. That is when the Founding Fathers made it clear that the safety of law-abiding citizens should be one of the government's primary concerns."

    If i was able to walk long distances w/o pain I would be be a member of the Minutemen Militia and patrol the border. So, the only thing I can to is to frequently practice at my local firing range. Remain ready, keep buying ammo and "LOCK & LOAD"!

    I agree there is no way our current military will go against the CONTROL of BO yet and side with true patriots. There will come a time if things don't start getting better.

    It might be good if Holder tried to crack down on people who are not in violation of the law. It would expose a clearer example of the fubar government's disregard of private property and make it easier to see that 'the king has no new clothes.'
