Blah blah blah, "one more chance", blah blah blah. I've heard that one before. The truth is that you are deluded if you think the American people are going to rise up in arms because the Democrats win in November, or whatever. Most people are perfectly happy with America the way it is. Anyone who tries rising up against the Feds will accomplish nothing more than providing hours of YouTube video entertainment for the average Joe. "Lokkee here, Bubba! Here's whurr they git hit with 20 mm cannon fahr frum them Army heelacopters!"
I'll bet you a hundred bucks right now that the current political order will remain intact on 1 January 2011 no matter who wins the November election. Hell, I'll bet you a hundred that nothing will happen even if they cancel the November elections.

Learn a lesson from history my friend, only 3 percent of the American colonists fought the British army...a full 25-30 percent of the colonist actively supported the Brits...and by the end of the war, more Americans were fighting on the British side than on the American side...and yet we (the Americans) still won our independence.
You are making the same fundamental mistake that they will make...thinking the 3 percent will hide and wait to be rounded up, and nothing could be further from the truth. Using your army helicopter example, it will have to land sometime, and the fuel will have to come from somewhere.
But I suspect that many people (perhaps yourself) will be like 25 percent of the colonists and support either side depending on the fortunes of war. For them, I give that great line out of the movie Sliverado..."Hide and watch."
But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.
And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.
