In a letter to Archibald Stuart in 1791 Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." Are there inconveniences in too much liberty? yes there surely can be as it means that you must extend liberties and freedoms to others that you might not exactly agree with but the opposite is what has given us the TSA and all the rules and regulations that have brought us to where we are today. This is the best analysis of the NDAA passed by Congress that I have heard and is worth the listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKbn1MdV79s&feature=youtu.beAt the NCPATCON in a discussion the four boxes of Liberty came up (soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box). Then this question was put forth for each box: Who believed that this box would resolve the grave issues we now face? After the first three boxes were brought up not one person admitted that they thought anyone of the first three would right the ship and turn the ship around. Now we stopped after the question was asked about the first three boxes not venturing into the arena of armed revolution. The question is that if we cannot restore the republic with the first three and I find that indeed doubtful then what alternative do we have. What options between number three and number four?

I like you and many who have posted here, have grave doubts that the first three boxes can do anything other than delay the need to use the last box to regain our freedom. I have stated before and will again till I think the time of using the first three boxes is past, that we must not move onto box number four till we have the public opinion behind us, because the powers that be have over reached to the point the people no longer will support them.
In other words, they have to make the first big dumb move. If things do not go the communist's way, I think it will just be a matter of time, before they make that big dumb move. They are addicts and can not help themselves. Their drug is power and they must have more and more and at bigger and bigger levels. If they don't get their fix, this election cycle, I believe they will do what is needed for them to get their fix.
What we do then will be the deciding choice of our life time. To act prematurely would be foolish in my opinion.
