UPDATE: Consider specifically the responses from Dan and Trainer, then the rest. Dan points out the obvious that I deliberately left out of the poll question and follow-up - we have no infrastructure "at all".
Second: Trainer points out that I changed the rules between question and follow-up. I did so deliberately. Obviously, Patrick Henry can not give that speech, so any answers based on that premise end with that realization.
Finally: Most others point out what I have suspected and talked about many times before: I won't go alone on a suicide mission and leave my wife/kids/family to the wolves. In my world, that is valid.
So, now please consider this question: Would you begin hunting Enemies of Liberty IF ANYONE gave the Liberty or Death speech today?
And factor this question into your reply: If we will not go to arms today, and we will not participate in the Constitutional political system, are we not merely waiting to die as slaves within the system implemented by others?
If we are not ready to go to arms, and we are not willing to run for office on a wide scale and try to fight in that Constitutional arena, then what about the Pioneer Project concept? Is not secession into our own community, away from the masses, a decent middle-ground?

I bumped the poll to the top of the right column.
At this moment, 88% of you have taken the position that you would gear up and begin hunting Enemies of Liberty if Patrick Henry were here and gave his famous Liberty or Death speech.
This means you have already taken the position that the republic is ready for Hunter-Killer Teams to begin taking out Enemies of Liberty in pursuit of restoring Liberty.
The question: Why have you not started on your own? Patrick Henry is not coming. Not one of our bloggers can fill his shoes. If you have taken the decision that it is time to hunt, why haven't you begun?
I promise I will not flame anyone who answers the question in good faith.
Nor will my feelings be hurt if you choose not to answer such a question publicly.
I genuinely would like to know what is holding you back.
