Who the heck are you and why do you think your opinion is of any value?
I tend to agree with the original poster. Quite often on FreeRepublic there is pseudo brinksmanship that gets played that centers around the thought that we are just a step away from “The Next American Revolution”. Fact of the matter is we are not that close to a revolution and no state or groups of states are anywhere close to seceding from the country.
The people, even those of us who are more conservative, have shown themselves willing to put with quite a lot of crap with no actual threat of sweeping change. While we see the inklings of a party willing to persecute those of us who are more conservative, we have not yet reached the point of day to day persecution that results in actual revolution. Fact is we are far from it, so any talk of the next American Revolution, civil war, secession, is less than worthless. If we talk in those terms, we have actually given up the fight to change things through the changing of minds, which ought not be willing to do.
