Moreover, it should be obvious that the War Of Independence cannot be repeated - we are not the political subjects of a foreign monarch and we have representation. The two key drivers of the Independence movement do not exist in 2010. This government is our fault: we created it, we voted for it. A "revolution" today would not mean a well-organized limited war of position against foreign armies stationed on our soil taking part in set piece battles like the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse. It would not even mean a sectional Civil War. It would mean bloody fighting almost block by block with a ferocity that would not spare women and children.
You first, Paul Craig Roberts.
Only if the government wants it that way.
Only if the government believes Might Is Right.
Only if the Will of the People means nothing.
If the people want less government within their local area, and wish to be left alone, then government should respect that. If the government insists that the people need to bend their knee and submit, then that provides justification for a war of ferocity.
No one should attack the government. The right revolution involves creating a situation where the government is ignored and inconsequential. If the government attacks us as a result of that, then that's another thing.
