For all the flowery rhetorics, a question begs:-
WHO VOTED IN THE GOTFR AND GAVE THEM POWERS?

I certainly don’t see them being voted by anyone to represent them, or are they even a registered political party.

If they are not voted in, not representatives of anyone, not even the minority groups, then what power do they have to impose their beliefs upon society, let alone ‘HANG’ anyone who disagrees with them?

This smacks of terrorism – a bunch of hoodlums forcing their beliefs down the majority’s throat by the TYRANNY OF FEAR. Haven’t we have enough of it already?

Should they really feel the govt are not doing a good job, then by all means register themselves as a political party, and convince others openly, not behind bedsheets and threats.
If they feel they have no money to stand for elections, President Obama had shown the way – through the internet, if such changes are true and necessary.
To continue and do as they are currently doing is nothing more than an IMPOSITION of beliefs and tyranny to society, and that is utterly wrong, no matter how righteous they think themselves are.

US is a democracy and whatever issues that may arise, it must be done in the democratic fashion – rational debate by ELECTED representatives and settled by legislature approval through the mandated choice of a head of state from the people via the vote.

I don't think that counts as very old.

Thanks for your reply. It goes to show how far gone and deluded you had become.
I know it would be impossible to change your mind, nor do i wish to do so. But let us try to find a common ground where both your kind and I can stand on.
The first common ground would be our agreement on the 10th amendment, from which you believe you or anyone who thinks like you have the legal powers to impose or force your views onto anyone.
But how do you intend to enforce your powers?
By killing others if they disagree?
You would have broken the other 9 amendments in the process, the very piece of paper you claim to uphold, if not committing murder itself!
This is where I would have to make my stand to disagree with you and people like you from carrying such powers whom you claim to posses and yet do not have the authority or sanction from your state.
May this be a joke because if true, its a storm only in a teacup. If you hunger for change, then do it in the official manner that the forefathers did - get elected first or back up the person you voted.
Just to clarify - the 'We, the people' in the sacred Constitution does NOT stand for you alone. It stands for you, your family, your relatives, friends and mine as well. Remember that when you attempt to invoke the 10th amendment.
Peace
