Revolution

During the last 30 years we Americans have been so politically divided that some of us have called this left-right, liberal-conservative split a "culture war" or even a "second Civil War." These descriptions are no longer accurate. The precise, technical word for what is happening in the United States today is revolution.

Meyer's must have struck a nerve. There were 175 comments to the article.

His article is also mentioned in another post:

"The precise, technical word for what is happening in the United States today is revolution."

Nope. the word is 'revolt'.

A 'revolution' is, by definition, successful. This one is far from over.

"The precise, technical word for what is happening in the United States today is revolution."

No, the precise word is coup...

[ElectronVolt]

Well, we know who the redcoats are because they’ve been red for a long time.

[Kakaze]

yes we are in a coup......or a cold civil war.

Revolt, will stop it.

We would all agree it is a struggle to defend the U.S. Constitution.

Yes.

The sooner the democrats are removed from power, the better.

There are a probably a number of tripwires.

For instance, I imagine some will be upset when they are asked to pay an exorbitant special personal property tax on the firearms they own, or even to drop those pieces off at a government location.

[optiguy]

You mean like they did in Australia?

From the article: "They have judged that our public education system is so degraded that only a few Americans are left who even understand what a democracy is, and how the free market actually works.

I'd say they have judged right.

“For instance, I imagine some will be upset when they are asked to pay an exorbitant special personal property tax on the firearms they own, or even to drop those pieces off at a government location.”

Hate to see us wait until then...

"We would all agree it is a struggle to defend the U.S. Constitution."

Then you better be ready to fight for the Sovereignty of your State. As for the Constitution, call me when Amdendments 14,15, 16 and 17 have been repealed.

About half seem to think it's a struggle to overthrow the U.S. Constitution.

Perhaps because:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But,
under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the
socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation,
without knowing how it happened."
~ Norman Thomas, former U. S. Socialist Presidential Candidate (1936

Until America wakes up even Pravda has a likely explanation:

"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American
descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against
the back drop of a passive*, hapless sheeple*…. The final collapse has
come with the election of Barack Obama …”
~ Pravda, May 2009

* My emphasis

Now, just as computers have operating systems so too do countries.

That being the case Congress is certainly an OS:

CONGRESS.SYS corrupted...Re-boot Washington D.C? (Y/N)
