***you do realize that the vast majority of Americans know nothing of what is going on, and could care less***

That is the summation of the conclusion I have always posted about the 30+ million Egyptians taking to the streets -- do we need the people of Egypt to teach we Americans about freedom?! In a land of perhaps 10 times the population of Egypt, could we get 300 thousand to take to the streets? 30 thousand?

But the American Revolution was not supported by the vast majority of the colonists. In fact the present 3% group claim it was just that many. My memory of American history is that it was about 30%.

As to the vast majority of Americans not caring, the Carter presidency proved otherwise. When gasoline got expensive and required long waiting lines, heating oil cost as much as burning your house down - if you could get it, paychecks shrunk due to taxation and inflation (essentially the same thing), home mortgages were around 20% and Americans were taken hostage with no consequences - enough people woke up. :)

Can the vacuous Bitem Administration do less?

yes, I think it was about a third of Americans who supported the Revol. war....a third were "neutral" or cowards, and a third were loyalists....

I'm sure we could muster up a third....

but one of the freedoms taken away from us by the branch covidians is FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY and thus, we haven't been able to rally or group up or unit as much as we should have....

hopefully, it'll change.
