Our Founding Fathers raised an army and started killing the people who obeyed the King.

Perhaps, but what would the outcome have been if our founding fathers took the same approach?

Our Founding Fathers' approach involved muskets, balls (lead and fleshy) and powder. And to change this is going to take nothing less. Right now, for all of our protesting and threatening has achieved nothing. They no longer fear us. They see our disgust and just pat on our little heads and go, "Awww! How cute. We are doing this for you and one day when you are all growed up you will understand. Now run along."

They have no fear of us or our vote anymore. When Murtha, Durbin, Rangel get elected time after time, why should they fear us? Drag one or two of these yahoos behind a truck at the next town hall and then send them back to Washington and see if they fear us then.
