Oh give it a rest! there have been, throughout FR's years, many posts about how the American people will rise up, have a bloody revolution, and the Conservatives, the REAL " conservatives ", will take over. PIPE DREAMS and childishness, which Jim has repeatedly said he does NOT want posted to FR ever again.

No one rose up to take it to the streets, during the 8 years of the Clintons' administration. They won't do so, should Dean ( or any other Dem ) upset President Bush in '04, which is NOT going to happen; especially not now.

Fiction books and movies are NOT " real " and are NOT scenarios that the average American citizenry is about to engage in. Rather, the " average " person is far too complacent, ill informed, lazy, and more ready to just accept anything and everything. OTOH, those, on FR, with the biggest mouths, who shout about " watering the tree of liberty ", are keyboard/armchair warriors...all mouth and no DO !

The reference to a "movie" was a metaphor. The description of the "movie" is what I remember of that era. I do not want to see a repeat of the political/media quagmire that cost us victory. We cannot let politics and treason trump the mission and accomplishments of the military this time.

IMO what is occurring today is a virtual repeat of those events with additional aspects: 9/11, a virtual invasion by ILLEGAL aliens, and today the chi-coms are in position to deliver on their threats.

I am not talking about "American people will rise up." I am giving my opinion that springs from Gen. Franks' comment that said say good bye to the Constitution if there is a WMD attack here. I say again. I had rather lose my rights temporarily than permanently. Let's do it ASAP before we have to suffer a WMD.

I sincerely believe that a patriot-dictator -- and the President could be the one but for his approval of ILLEGAL immigrants, IMO -- is required to handle our early 21st century wars. The Vietnam war proved politicians cannot handle it, IMO.
