Revisiting , the proverbial lines that shall not be crossed

This discussion was started over at Oathkeepers with this question to provoke thought , i will include the question as the asker asked , and my following response for your thought and approval:
I don't mean to incite anything, just wondering if we have considered or discussed where that proverbial line in the sand actually is. We stand stronger united than divided. When is it that enough is enough. I personally am getting real tired of this administration jamming $hit down my throat. Only so much of that and I start regurgitating it back up.
Just something to inspire some thought. I don't have an answer, just wondering.

To which i repied:

Kevin, I firmly believe , that the proverbial "line" is a very personal and intimate one, it is something that you , yourself must wrestle with, and ultimately , it is your desicion. I will not even attempt as some here in the group to draw them. What i can offer is some advice , even though it is not asked for, start talking to those in your state group, talk to your neighbors , even if you THINK you know your god given rights , review them, decide what they mean to you, re educate yourself, remember an informed person , makes informed decisions.and by informed , i mean dont take everything as gospel just because someone says it , research it , verify its validity. As far as what subjects are taboo to discuss, i think you can see what is and isnt simply by the response the subject gets , but as someone that contacted me said , their board , their rules , in a recent post i saw 1 member say , there was no"pc police " yet conclude their post , that the views were counter to the group and the person should find another soap box, and ended "you have been warned" if thats not policing........
I have had the few people that have contacted me tell me how they had started discussions , only to have them deleted or been set apon by those that do not agree, well as with any group , there will be disagreements , thats going to be natural and is to be expected. and in no way can be avoided. there is no way to please everyone , all you can do is stand fast by your beliefs , and remember , not everyone is going to agree with you, some will say you are to radical or militant , some will say your too pacafist, the thing is and what really matters , is what you think feel and believe. As for me , my credability has been called into question by some , and i have questions of credability of some myself , especial those that demand adherence to THEIR way of thinking to those that think i am too pacafist , im a useful tool, to those that think im too militant , im a firebrand or a loose cannon, to some because i choose to act more slowly and think things through , or because i leave the option open to discuss all options , So Kevin , as i can see from the initial post , you have questions as to where it that line, i tell you , its where ever you draw it at however many levels you want and ultimately , the choice is yours , no one elses , that way they cannot shove anything down your throat, but remember those choices , though they be yours , are yours to live with as well. I hope , as i always do , that my insights provoke thought , as i intend them to , now what you do with them , is entirely your choice.

i know what some think , but what do you think?
