The key to this battle is to first realize that the enemy is real and has a face.

The patriot movement is led too easily by the controlled news media which gives them an issue here and there to chase. What really winds up happening is this:

An issue is only an issue so long as it remains on the front page of the newspaper. For instance, ten years ago the militia was watching videos and holding meetings in absolute fear of National ID and the possibility of being tyrannized by an all - powerful federal government.

Today, the focus changes and the patriots are willing to build a bigger military industrial complex and add more JBTs in order to make them "safe" from what they perceive as being hordes of "ilegal aliens."

So, they cannot decide whether they want this government with its endorsement of eminent domain decisions, Brady Bill, Lautenberg Amendment, Patriot Act, gun bans, abortion, warrantless search and seizures, unconstitutional "income" tax, National ID, womb to the tomb monitoring OR the illusion of safety they will feel if they militarize the border to "save" us from ourselves.

In my mind, I believed in the biblical admonition that you cannot serve two masters. Either you want the more intrusive government or you don't. So, the first enemy you have to deal with is the one who is a double minded paradox seen daily in your mirror.

The next enemy you have is that government which has dismantled the Constitution and sold you out for pennies on the dollar. Those are the ones who deserve your undivided attention.
