Do you also think that George Washington and his peers were un-American???

Through history pacifism and talks never get you anywhere, think about what results Chamberlain's talk with Hitler got him. Hitler's, Mussolini's, Franco's, Stalin's "people" also had "other" views or opinions and where did that get us. Good luck with all the talks!

I am NOT preaching it, but I said that I agree with what Pastor Manning is saying about a revolution, like I agreed with George Washington!!

Now, when the other two government branches, the whole media, right and left have been effectively neutered to silence, you are just getting what you are asking for together with the other people you mentioned, and it is called TYRANNY, pure and simple. Just like these four fellows in Europe crammed down the throat of their "people," and not to forget the Japs, and now Venezuela!!!

#64 - That has basically been my position on this matter all along. All the talking in the world is going to get nowhere now that is abundantly clear. It will take ACTION unfortunately. It’s what it took eventually in Europe, it’s what it took in 1776. The Corruption is deep and wide and I dare say it even involves some “outside of the country” forces as well. Watch for the United Nothings to become a very powerful vehicle being used by Mr. Obama or whoever the hell he is. Treaty after treaty after treaty. Time to stop all the pontificating - organize and mobilize. The consequences of not doing it are pretty devestating. CO

Stop with the hyperbole. Multiple question marks do not indicate the soundness of your approach, or the folly of others for their disagreement. You attempt to ridicule my comments by positing that I could consider George Washington un-American (presumably, for agreeing to lead the Continental Army against the British, once the Colonists had declared their independence from England. Without writing an historical dissertation on the subject, let me just point out that the Colonists engaged in just the sort of conduct I espouse, but not you. That is, for several decades before the American Revolution, colonists had entreated the Crown to amend their conduct. And colonists, restricted by the lack of any electronic means, managed to create avenues of communication with others, to discuss and debate how to proceed. (Few would argue that Tom Paine’s “Common Sense” pamphlets in large part coalesced support for the ideas that led to the American Revolution.) What I am saying is that, espousing a revolution absent the extensive efforts at change characterized by the conduct of those patriots who fomented the American Revolution, with the support of the majority of their fellow colonists; would make it appear that, your objection to the status quo is directed more to the person who won the election than to a bona fide belief he has somehow usurped the will of the people.
