Defeatist arguments are the primary defense mechanism of the weak-minded.

I have been told on many occasions, when I express opinions regarding laws that I plainly disagree with, that you cannot fight the government. It is a belief that any government wishes their native populace to believe, because a people who think that they cannot fight their government in any fashion is more easily controlled.

Think of this: the early American colonists endured the same form of propaganda. They were told in no uncertain terms that the King and his armies were too powerful. That there was no way to oppose them, and it was folly to even attempt to do so. The vast majority of the people living within the colonies simply endured whatever legislation the King laid down, and submitted themselves to whatever tyrannies might be imposed upon them.

It was only a small fragment of the populace that dared to speak out, despite the prospective peril of doing so. Yet here we stand.

Rebellion and revolution are, in fact, the American way. We must all take a stand against totalitarianism and theocratic rule. We must, therefore, remember that freedom and liberty comes at great cost, and let those who would take our freedoms away from us know that we are willing to fight them regardless of that fact.

And those who are not willing to fight need to get out of the way.
