Sometimes, the way this blog is set up,confuses me.

You say the only option left to address what you perceive are the wrongs in this country is to foment revolution. I disagree, for several reasons. First of all, given the total number of Americans who voted in the past election, it makes no sense for any of us to claim a ‘mandate’ in any one view. Millions of your fellow Americans disagree with your take on things. Would you have us understand your comments to mean, their views are less deserving of respect than yours? Assuming all views are valid, espousing revolution undermines your claims you are fighting as a patriotic American! You fervently believe, you are ‘right.’ Then, persuade those others of the soundness of your views. With reason and intellect, but not hyperbole and Divine inspiration. Surely, weighing the risk to the Republic of words over rebellion, you can concede to the position, talking merits more time and effort. As I see it, asserting might equals right under the present circumstances is un-American.
