Massive, Passive, Civil Disobedience Now, or Armed Civil War

Back in 1996, Billy Beck wrote a piece, in response to a Usenet post, titled “Too Late For a Political Solution?”  I’ve had this post bookmarked for a number of years, and I occasionally re-read it as I observe the freedom destroying events taking place on a daily basis here in the United States.  Billy’s piece is distinctly more relevant today.

This commentary by Billy is particularly relevant today as so-called debates about DeathCare, and other State programs which destroy productivity and reward incompetence, degenerate into anger, physical violence and arrests, as I noted in my previous post titled Tick, Tick, Tick.  And make no mistake, politically things are tick, tick, ticking into some type of confrontation.

Tea parties, letters to Congressmen, townhall meetings and the like, news of which only make it into media headlines when uncivility rears its head, are ineffective and simply relieve pressure, temporarily, from the dissatisfaction actual freedom honoring individuals are burdened by.

Politically, life for individuals is becoming increasingly restrained and gagged.  Note the protests against cash for clunkers, bailouts of financial instiutions and what have you.  Have the protests against such forced socialist programs had any traction?  No, those who protest are laughed at, ignored, or, as in regards to Obama’s DeathCare program, those who criticize, pointing out the fallacies and implicit dangers of the State’s ideology, are flagged as dangers to the State’s grip around your neck.

I’d quote from Billy’s piece, but his insights deserve full review, so I shall not.  It is time for massive, passive, civil disobedience, now, or armed civil war will be brought to fruition.

  1. It’s been too late for a long time.

    There is no reason to hang any hope on those scratching around at “town hall” meetings. The rare gossamer strands of principled objection fall on minds conditioned to recognize only the dinner bell.
