I try to imagine what would have been the response of many on this forum had those who disagreed completely with George W. Bush had suddenly been reported to be buying every gun in sight and plotting the overthrow of the duly elected government.

Buying guns? Anyone who dared criticize the Iraq war was called a traitor.
The corruption in our current adminstration, appointed czars, and Congress exceed that of any time in our nation's history. We have an incompetent commander-in-chief during a time of war who has failed to acknowledge to his citizens the first jihadist attack on our nation's soil since 9/11/2001.
The government has found the quiet limit of how much injustice they can impose upon the people. Will they be so blind, so deaf, so arrogant as to push beyond that limit?
The ears of government are deaf to the cries of "STOP SPENDING" as the dollar plummets and the foreign holders of our debt warn the President that his country is not the custodian of sound financial policy. Once Presidents of our country were respected as leaders of the free world. Now our current President talks down his country with alarming regularity on foriegn soil. He bows to the leaders of other nation as though he were grovelling.
How much more should the people take before reclaiming their Rebublic and their Constitution? How much more before reclaiming the dignity of our nation?
In 1792 Robespierre wrote: "
When a nation has been forced to resort to its right of insurrection, its relationship with the tyrant is then determined by the law of nature. By what right does the tyrant invoke the social contract? He abolished it! The nation, if it deems proper, may preserve the contract insofar as it concerns the relations between citizens. But the end result of tyranny and insurrection is to completely break all ties with the tyrant and to reestablish the state of war between the tyrant and the people.....Insurrection is the real trial of a tyrant. His sentence is the end of his power, and his sentence is whatever the People's liberty requires."
Let us pray it will not be in our lifetime or that of our children that insurrection unfolds in the name of reclaiming liberty. Let us pray our representatives wake up to the unrest they are creating. Let us pray they give up their insatiable appetite for powers not granted by the Constutution. Let us pray they stop spending and printing money at a rate that puts our economy on a collision course with collapse.

Please let me know who, except for government, has the authority to make it "mandatory to have at least 1 in each town across America", as you put it? Do tell.
Here, let me help:
man-da-to-ry [man-duh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee] –adjective
1. authoritatively ordered; obligatory; compulsory: It is mandatory that all students take two years of math.
2. pertaining to, of the nature of, or containing a command.
3. Law. permitting no option; not to be disregarded or modified: a mandatory clause.
4. having received a mandate, as a nation.
So who gets to "authoritatively order" billboards be put up?
Geez, some people are really dense. When someone believes in something strongly and says that it should be mandatory that there should be one in every city you take it literally.
What it means is that it is so important. Saying that it should be mandatory is a reinforcement of how strong the belief is not that government should make it law. I will say again that people that want government intrusion in their lives might, will probably take it the way you did.
There isn't any. The American people are becoming sheep. And therein lies the problem.
IMO, the "sheeple" days though are coming to an end -
Just what I thought. You haven't a clue. And you're going to defend the Constitution not knowing what it means? How ya gonna do that?
Educate yourself.
