They won't feel big when they start meeting leveled rifles when they show up to pull people away. I fear that we're almost at that point.

The idea that liberals are just asking for handouts and conservatives are doing all the work is hilarious. In fact, liberals tend to be more educated higher earners than are conservatives. The red states suck far more money out of the federal government for aid then do the blue states.

Non-compliance will always be a better and more effective form of resistance then talking to your elected representatives. Your elected representatives aren't going to do a damn thing, that should be obvious. The US Army is refusing to comply with the executive order with regard to LGBTQ soldiers.
