If you keep chipping away at our rights afforded by the Constitution that OUR families have shed blood to defend (and most likely yours too) you will not walk away from this unscarred. However, should you decide to cease your attack on our country from within you and I will both simply part ways and go on about our day."

Sure seems like THAT is the united message we should be yelling from the mountaintops.
While I absolutely agree with you in principle, practicality is another matter. The practical facts are that the govt has shown it has no scruples about murdering it's own citizens (Waco, Ruby Ridge, 9-11 etc etc etc) and an individual is not equipped to resist on his own. When the winds of confiscation begin blowing, how is one person going to stand up and declare they are exactly the type of target these motherless liberals are looking for? Expecting them to back down and say "Oh... here's a man who stands tall and resists us... we should shamefacedly turn around and leave." is naive. That person will be shot while "resisting arrest", their assets seized, kids sold to the foster-care indoctrination machine, and the entire incident will make little more than a "domestic terrorist thwarted" byline in the news.

The only way bold-faced resistance will fly is if there's a movement large enough to take notice of, and it can unite together uniformly enough to make the bullies take pause and consider the ramifications of all out war on a law-abiding demographic of their constituency. That's going to be the challenge - coming together like that in an organized fashion.
