I see you are another of those who are uncomfortable living in a freely elected democratic republic.

I don't care for the policies or plans that Obama is pursuing, but until it violates our Constituion, it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution.

The way to fight back is to get politically active and get good people elected: then make them toe the line through letter writing and phone calls. Members of congress will respond given enough voter pressure. Look at what happened in the House this week.

I do not recall ever having seen a 100% solid block Republican vote. EVen the RINO's who would probably have peferred to vote the other way were afraid to break ranks. That came from us, not the press or their own volition.

“but until it violates our Constituion, it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution.”

This is where I start to tangled up in my little brain. I know there are some who believe the Constitution has ben violated in a couple of ways and not just since husseinorama. So, what is the tipping point? Is there any wiggel room? Is one instance enough? Isn’t that why we have the courts? Once the courts are stacked, then we have no recourse.

I write this because I mull this over everyday. How will I know it is time?

Well, I have said NOTHING about 'revolution" - my concern is that too many people have a 'not time to worry yet" attitude.

Would you consider a totally new layer of law enforcement in addition to our military - which includes States National Guards and the CoasT Guard, State Police, Sheriffs and Police - that was as big as, "just as strong, just as powerful, just as well funded as our military" something to "worry about"?

Could you cite where in the Constitution that is allowed?

Could you explain to us just what 'bama is proposing in this clip = and could you give us a heads up so's we'll know when we should 'start worrying"?

It's also suicidal and counterproductive.  Gandhi recognized this.  That's why, instead of providing the British Military Industrial Establishment with justification for using force and strengthening itself, Gandhi won India's independence by making salt.
 
The actions of Timothy McVeigh and Co., on the other hand, did nothing but empower the Federal Bureaucracy.
 
As Orwell recognized - the System expects revolt, and is prepared to profit from it.
 
Unfortunately for us, Salt is as cheap as Bread and Circuses; and so the sheeple-frog sits in the slowly boiling pot.  
 
By the time it figures out the plot of the main course, which it is, the sheeple-frog's legs are as cooked as the books of the Federal Reserve.
 
Frog's legs, Milk, and Apples.
 
Tyranny of the Appetite.
