God, I sure as hell hope not....

"It could take a hundred years, or as little as a generation, to rediscover the freedom our Founders hammered into the U.S. Constitution. Much of our freedom has already been lost, but the rediscovery cannot even begin to emerge until the weight of government oppression grows too heavy to bear. Early Americans felt the weight of King George's oppression, until they could bear it no more. Then, they acted. Not all of the early Americans had reached the tipping point in 1776. In fact, many, if not most of the people, preferred to suffer oppression by the king, rather than to pay the cost of freedom. Many, if not most, of the people in America today, prefer to suffer governmental oppression, rather than to pay the cost of freedom. So far, governmental oppression is not too heavy; people can still do almost anything they wish - if they can get a permit."

How much more do you think we will, collectively, have to take before we start taking some real action? I know for a FACT that I'm not the only who is seeing the writing on the wall. Although one can only guess at the actual number of citizens that are discontent. My guess is, based on all the indicators, it has to be in the millions.
What will it take to have us begin to earnestly take action in securing our Freedom? Both for ourselves and our progeny? Will it take a horrific act by an increasingly despicable government? Or, will it take A HUGE NUMBER OF HORRIFIC ACTS? The message to government needs to be LOUD and CLEAR - RESUME your INTENDED POSITION, and FULFILL your INTENDED purposes. And, while so doing, LEAVE OUR RIGHTS, the
HELL ALONE!

There, I feel better now...
