That's a good question. But here is your flaw. See I consider myself a patriot and from my prospective the tyranny you speak of comes from the other direction. Now see the problem? You feel like you are right and I feel like I am? Now the ONLY solution to this problem is compromise, something that has held this country together for over 200 years. You can't get everything you want and I can't get everything I want. If we continue down this road there is definitely going to be a civil war. I always thought we wouldn't but now I'm not so sure. Certainly some on the left have gone too far and I'm willing to acknowledge that.... You conservatives with some common sense need to start pushing back on the extreme rhetoric on your side though.... You've got people running all over the country with high powered rifles itching to start crap and it needs to stop. For my part in discussions with like minded people like myself I have been pushing back on the rhetoric from the left.
