Whereas in other nations, when a junta takes over or when the Left conducts a revolution (Iran, Cuba, Russia), the government then is used to strip people of their liberties because the government once guaranteed them.
 
 
That is not the case here in America. Here in America, every single individual, whether man, woman, child, or elderly can be hardened against criminals, thugs, drug cartels, Chicago boyos, terrorists, or anybody else operating weapons short of WMDs.
 
The training of this insurgency or counter-insurgency, is not particularly difficult. If the US military can do it with a bunch of Arabs, they sure as hell can do it with regular Americans wanting the same skill sets.
 

The source of training knowledge is also not limited to military service. Much of it is civilian or private.
 
 
The Left has conquered many governments before and then proceeded to torture to death the people because the people were never armed with the power to resist in the first place. Power comes from the barrel of the gun, because it is the individual that wields weapons and their own life as a weapon.

Another 25% can be convinced to either not side with the enemy or to provide us with limited or total intelligence.
 
The last 25%, however, will either need to be eliminated or exiled or rendered into political 3rd class citizens. Only a permanent solution can deal with them and whatever future generations they will recruit. That amounts to about 60 million Americans that will fight for the rule of Leftist utopia. Out of them, no more than 6 million can be categorized as actual activists, organizers, logistics, fighters, or leaders.
 
The difficulty is that there are no permanent solutions. Only things that can last because it has been fed by the blood of patriots and tyrants. After the Revolutionary War was won, all the British Loyalists were exiled to Canada and elsewhere. They were not allowed to partake of the democracy here in the US. They were not allowed to plan an insurgency. They were not allowed to incubate their young so that sometime in the future they could take over the US and pledge back the loyalty once broken with Britain.
 
There’s no point killing people personally if it will do no good in the end. Solutions, to be solutions, must work, if only temporarily.

I just had a conversation with a friend of mine, and we agreed — everywhere we go, everyone we talk to, no matter whether they are acquaintances, friends or strangers — people are literally up in arms about Obowmao and his national socialists pushing for more and more government control over our lives.
I hope, and pray, that it does not come to violence. At the first threat of real violence from the right, Obowmao will not let a good crisis go to waste.
The turning point will be November. If they ACORN this election [which is entirely possible, given the plethora of secretaries of state with a (D) after their name], there will be hell to pay.
There is a new strategy afoot to take back the GOP to its conservative roots by getting involved on a precinct level — as a precinct chair or committee person. It may be too late, but I feel like I must do something other than passively whine and post blog comments. The strategy is spelled out at http://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/

To which Dennis Prager once said something to the effect of, “It’s like that in Cuba so people can be indoctrinated. I’d rather be illiterate than be forced to read nothing but Marxist propaganda.”
