What if a revolution is required....?
1/7/2013 | Self-vanity

Posted on 01/07/2013 9:41:13 AM PST by SERKIT

What if we had a President that ran on the concept of "fundamentally changing" America, away from its founding principles, away from its traditions, and away from the Constitution?

What if we had such corrupt politicians that freedoms were reduced, slowly but surely eroded, or repealed?

What if the corrupt politicians and the anti-American President continued to oppress the people and suppress freedom?

Wouldn't a revolution only predicted, but necessary? In order to stay free, and preserve the Constitution - where politicians fail to defend the Constitution - then the people will need to defend it - by maintaining an armed citizenry. Isn't this also part of the intent behind the Second Amendment?

Will the roots of the Liberty Tree soon, once again, require fertilization by the blood of tyrants and patriots, to paraphrase one of our founders?

You have the freedom to keep and bear arms, but you don't need to - you should have the freedom of choice.

Gear up! Patriotism required.

My family fought against British tyranny at the Battles of Cowpens and King’s Mountain. If tyranny needs to be resisted today, O’m sure there are enough Americans who will step forward to challenge it.

King George III was a gentle saint compared to what we’re stuck with today.

A third of the population supported the revolution at the time, not much considering it’s outcome.

People were upset by the tax on tea and stamps placed on them by Parliament......but these taxes were NOTHING compared to all of the new taxes contained in Obamacare, in addition to higher taxes we’re going to have to pay on estates, dividends, capital gains, and income.

We are past the point of what the Founder’s intended the Second Amendment to rectify and return liberty into the hands they worked so hard to enshrine, should it ever be usurped from them.

A ‘revolution’ today would be a bloodbath and more in-line with the French experience with revolution than what our Founders were engaged in.

Sad fact of history and the moral make-up of this people today.

A fact known by the MarxoFascists, who NEED a bloodbath in order to succeed in completeness where they are taking us.

Ubama's "fundamental transformation" is designed to be a slow-motion train-wreck.

At some point, probably after about six-months of triple-digit inflation, riots will start in the inner-cities when the amounts on the EBT cards aren't covering trips to the casinos like they used to.

Whoever survives the following five years wins the "revolution."

I don't think Ubama is going to be among them.

1/3 supported, 1/10 did something, 1/33 actually took up arms.

And they won.

We CAN do this again and restore our Republic.

“Gotta rout the media first.”

That echoes a novel I downloaded from the net in .pdf form called “Unintended Consequences” in which the members of the media who collaborated with an oppressive regime were targted for assassination. That said, it is not a new idea.

It’s also an idea that I support. If push comes to shove then the people who’ve been shilling for an oppressive regime should be held to the same account as the regime itself.

And easily a third of the population of the geographic area now designated as “the United States of America” would support a similar resistance movement today. Even with the American Revolution, there were “sunshine patriots” and strong supporters of the Crown, theoretically in the majority, but remember, one man, with strong convictions, is a potent force that can shift that majority.

Secession should not be dismissed as a strategy, dividing the geographic area between the “red” counties and congressional districts, and the “blue” districts, and declaring separate republics. In many instances, the division would not be congruent with current state lines, so, potentially, a state like California could be divided between a thin coastal line, and the much larger interior.

Inevitably, the “blue” districts will turn out to be greatly fragmented, and it is impossible to administer any national entity across what is potentially hostile territory separating the multiple districts. The “red” districts shall turn out to be nearly contiguous, making administration much simpler.

It can be done. Should the “red” portion of the electoral map declare themselves a separate republic from the government administered from Washington, DC, there is really not a whole lot the Washington regime could do to reverse that intent. Sure, they have the military, and the naval forces, but much of the “red” portion of this geographic area is self-sufficient in production of raw materials, manufacturing, and distribution. Most of the “blue” districts are not.

The leaders would be labled terrorists, placed on the president’s kill list, which is now legal, and the sight of predator and reaper drones crisscrossing our skies would become commonplace.

One never knows what precipitating events may occur that lead to acts of liberation from threats to the well-being of the nation as a whole and seek to overthrow a ruling elite and corrupt cabal of politicians and wealthy and the misguided who benefit most with the ‘status quo’..

Taxes, guns, suicide attacks.. take your pick.

Nope, no one knows.. but we’ve seen numbers of all of them go thru the roof this millenium.. Progre$$ive agendas don’t come cheap, yaknow.

Against about 1.5 million combined Federal and local law enforcement that may violate their oaths of office and follow illegal seizure orders.

I like 10:1 odds in our favor.
