I'm not sure motivation is what is needed. I think we're plenty motivated, but nobody is sure when or how to move. You may have all the answers on that, but people, being what we are, tend to disagree on the whys and wherefors, especially when it involves the well being of ourselves and our families. If I'm going to stick my neck out, I want to make sure it doesn't get chopped off for no reason. How about you?

Who's "we", and what movement? I may very well be duped, but I don't think I am. I seek every opportunity to get myself more enlightened, even when the key to that additional bit of enlightenment likes to hurl insults or disagrees with me on other things I feel strongly about.

I've often thought I'd like to see Ron Paul get angry enough to spit nails in public and stop playing Mr. Nice Guy. To some extent, I believe he does let the system limit his effectiveness. On the other hand, he's a pretty bright guy and I have to believe that he, with his greater number of years behind him than I have, has thought this through. I have to accept that his way of doing things is what seems best to him. He has managed to start a revolution of sorts that shows every sign of growing despite his GOP loss.

I'm not sure what this means, but I'll assume it means you didn't care much for my last post in this thread. The reason I quoted abundant scripture in my previous post is because this thread is becoming a matter of conflicting opinions. I have opinions, but I thought I'd try to back mine up with something more authoritative than my anus.

Judging by the posts I read on here, I think the good folks here are well aware of the OPFOR's ruthlessness and determination.

Yes, they will. I have ideas, but I don't know how to implement them. I do, however, believe that there isn't time to do community organizing to generate support for a local slate of candidates who will all get elected and run that locale in accordance with libertarian principles. I believe that system is rigged. I believe that system tends to corrupt most of those with the best intentions. Is this still what you advocate? I ask because I've noticed that you have recently appeared to change your tune (nothing wrong with that) by advocating something along the lines of direct action.

I must not be reading you right on this. Are you really saying that we, the militia, should kill indiscriminately as long as we suspect that there's an enemy combatant in the midst of other people? If I'm reading you correctly, I work in what you might call one of these free-fire zones. Being mistaken for OPFOR would kinda ruin my day, not to mention that of my wife and two young daughters.

This seems to delve into the realm of the highly unlikely. You would enslave people because they worked for the government?

This post struck me as venting, which is fine, but I got to the end of it and I still couldn't tell what exactly it is you're suggesting other than continuing to prep.
