You’re thinking like it’s 1776. An armed rebellion in America today wouldn’t operate the same as Washington’s army.

Organized, and even rag-tag militias would quickly overwhelm most city governments and the National Guard would be powerless to stop it. The military wouldn’t dare attempt to re-take any such city, because they’d have to kill half the population to do so.

It’s a whole different ballgame than conflicts of the past. Most importantly, I think you underestimate the loyalty of the American people to their fundamental organizing principles, and to their country.

During the Revolutionary War, Americans were subjects of the British crown, so no, many of them did not support upsetting the order they were accustomed to.

But those same personalities are now loyal American citizens, who are likewise, accustomed to a certain order in their culture, which many now see as being threatened by the real radicals, the Socialists and their Dear Leader.

I contend that they will resist Mr. Obama’s “change” in every way they can, to save their way of life and their security. If the call to arms should come, I believe that a great percentage of the American people will answer it. They’ve got nowhere else to go. Their backs are against the wall.

Trouble is, there’s massively effective crowd neutralizing and control technologies available to the oligarchy these days.

Thankfully, God will have more up HIS BIGGER SLEEVES than they do.

Stilllll . . . gonna be a massively messy time.
