To quote from someone you likely dislike, ''There are no contradictions. If you think there are, check your premises.''

I agree with you in that I think it extremely unlikely, short of some amazing outrage, that the American people will revolt against the government. However, I do trust that you will consider my opinion, whether you agree with it or not, is sincere, and that I am not an hypocrite.

If revolt is not a likelihood, and, again, I do not think it is, then the options are very clear: stay, and let this gov't grind you down one way or another, or leave.

I would hate to leave this lovely land, but I shall, if I can no longer see any hope for the practice of the principles of the Constitution.

And, given current developments, in fairly short order, too.

Good... LEAVE ! What you'll then find out, is that no other place will satify you either; NONE.

From the very beginnings of this nation, the government has refrained from doing what you and others imagine they should have done and done what you rail against governments and presidents doing. We, all of us, can only vote for those who will do the least TO us and ours and do a bit of what we want done. That's REALITY , not childish wistfullness; which is what you engage in.

And revolt is completely and utterly just a daydream of those who refuse to comprehend exactly what would happen here, yes, even here, should that be attempted. If no one led a revolt during the 8 years of the Clinton horde, it just is NOT going to happen...unless something REALLY horrendous happens, such as being overtaken by the now faltering, faded, almost gone Taliban/OBL's goons.

And you should leave indeed, if you don't appreciate what we have here. Go live somewhere else, and you would kiss the ground and beg on your knees to be let back in.
