It comes when a free People have been forced to be to become slaves, when their country and way of life and treasure has been plucked from their callused hands.

Interesting article I stumbled across while checking stuff on slavery (as you mentioned.)

Historically, the definition of a free person is a person who owns his own labor. Serfs were not free, because they owed their feudal lords, the government of that time, a maximum of one-third of their labor. Nineteenth century slaves were not free, because their owners could expropriate 50% of their labor.

Today, no American is a free person. The lowest tax rate, not counting state income, property tax and sales tax, is 15% Social Security tax and 15% federal income tax. The "free American" starts off with a 30% tax rate, the position of a medieval serf.

In medieval Europe, when tax rates reached beyond 30%, serfs rebelled and killed their masters.

Anyone who doesn't see a civil war coming is wearing blinders.

I've heard Glen Beck, Judge Napolitano, and a few others say the word "Fascist", and then turn right around and discourage militia's, violence, and rebellion. I guess they feel the SCOTUS will pull our chestnuts out of the fire. If the POTUS is breaking the law, burning the Constitution, nationalizing more private companies than Hugo Chavez, and generally destroying our country and it's economy, then we are supposed to bit$h and moan and watch it all fall down. It's time to face up to the fact that between government backed bad home loans, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, we have already racked up $100 trillion in debt that we can't get out of. Now we are adding more. Any sober person that knows anything about economic theory is sucking the business end of a .45 if we can't take the country back soon. We had our chance with Bush 43 and the Repub Congress. You saw what a mess that was. Our next chance will be a big win in Congress in 2010. If we miss that, IMHO, there will be trouble. MY predictions will be long term 10+% unemployment, hyperinflation, low food supplies, unusable interest rates, and blood in the streets. People today have no patience with such things. There won't be the "Can't we all just get along" feeling. The only way to avoid these things is to have the same type Congress we had under Newt Gingrich. The Kennedy, Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Bwarney Fwank, Kerry, idiocy of the present Congress is unafordable any longer.

What are the odds?
