There is  a tipping point here. Whether we have reached that point yet or not is a  difficult thing to gauge.<\/p>\n<p>The founders took a lot of abuse before they rebelled. They, like we,  saw it as an action to be taken only in extremis. Yet driven to what  they saw as a position of intolerability, take it they did. These were  not wide-eyed radicals, but mature, reasoned and educated men. Most  stood to lose everything and understood that once begun there could be  no turning back.<\/p>\n<p>No one, least of all people like Erick or myself, would want to see  open strife in this country as long as there was any recourse to redress  by election or through the courts. Along with the rising anger in this  country as more and more \u0091details\u0092 of the monstrous 3,000 page bill are  revealed (Nancy Pelosi: \u0093You have to pass the bill to find out what\u0092s in  it\u0094), is the increasingly voiced fear that Barack Hussein Obama and the  Demarxist Congress would somehow manufacture a \u0091national\u0092 emergency and  there would be no elections come November. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/friend_obama_one_doesn%E2%80%99t_need_enemies\" ><b> read more &amp;raquo;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/friend_obama_one_doesn%E2%80%99t_need_enemies\" >http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/f&#8230;t_need_enemies<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>03.28.10 03:03 AM posted by Skip MacLure First of all tonight, I would like everyone who reads this column to read Erick Erickson\u0092s article for Friday, March 26, 2010 on RedState.com.
