There is never really a good time for a revolution.
If it ever happens I think it will come as a complete surprise to most and will be triggered by some seemingly minor event I am sure (the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back).
I do still hold out hope that we can salvage the country without it.
I have a six year old son and I do not want him to have to live through something like that.
I have grandchildren older than your son - and I don’t want your son, my sons and daughters, or any of us to have to go through something like that. However, at this point we’re in between a rock and hard place.
America has put forth “their best” in the form of Clinton, Obama and McCain. I give McCain a couple of concessions, one that he was in the military and two that he was a POW in Vietnam. Other than that, he has not shown us that he has the balls to handle this job. On the OTHER hand, Clinton doesn’t have them and is a socialist, and Obama is a Marxist.
If we can’t see the difference in these three people and stay home and not vote, then we deserve exactly what we get. A civil war. There are differences, albeit, they are minor, but there ARE differences.
In another thread JSM is talking about greenhouse gases and dissing the Bush administration. So, he has bought into this crap.
Well, “climate change” DOES exist. But there’s little humans can do about it, and a lot less we’re going to be able to do when we go into the next ice age - and still have NOTHING to do with it.
On the other hand, we don’t need a civil war - not like we had in 1776. What we need is simply to stand up and DEMAND a reduction in the amount of taxes pulled out of our hands, refuse to let a government this large push us around and when we do, it will begin to get the message.
What are they going to do? Send in US troops? Nope, that’s against the law, and when they do it, THEN we have them. And we fight. Until then, there are still options to repair things in this country that won’t require violence.
