I wholeheartedly agree. However, the battle is all but lost. The left has an IO campaign second to none. They have control of the media with only one vestige left for conservative expression (AM talk radio) and they are attempting to quell that outlet. They will silence the opposition. They are firmly entrenched in the public education system from primary to post-secondary. They control the labor organizations. And now, they control two of the three primary branches of government. Thanks to former POTUS' actions such as Lincoln, FDR, and Truman, they have precidence for subduing their opposition through Presidential order. All it will take is some form of internal threat (i.e. terrorist attack or econmic collapse).
I'm not saying give up. However, at some point, we will have a kinship to the Spartans.
