As I have been telling my friends for many years, the true divide in this country isn't between races, religions or even economic classes. The real divide is between the government and those sheeple who are governed. It doesn't matter who's sitting in the Oval Toilet.
What was once "We the People" is now "We the Government". We are now the public servants. We are the cash cows for the well fed and set for life entities of government.
This needs to change. By legislation, by ballot box or by force if necessary. It wouldn't be the first time.
You are correct, and Thomas Jefferson agreed with you:
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." -- Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion... We have had thirteen States independent for eleven years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half, for each State. What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?" -- Thomas Jefferson to William S. Smith, 1787.
"I hold it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms are in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people, which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is medicine necessary for the sound health of government." -- Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Jan. 30, 1787.
