The left has been peddling these ideas for decades,

Two wrongs do not make a right, especially when the people in question on the other side are political idiots.

The Declaration of Independence states that revolutions should not be entered into lightly or as anything but a last resort of desperation:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

People may disagree, but I do not see the present sad course of affairs as being anywhere close to this standard of revolution. I feel that the proper course of action is through peaceful Constitutional political means. Work to promote strong conservative Constitutional ideals and work to elect and monitor those dedicated to such principles.

I guess when we are both in a barbed wire compound standing in line for a cup of fish eye soup, will it be "time" then to consider other means?

“Two wrongs do not make a right”
What, are we on a Kindergarten playground here?

$12 trillion in additional debt and a decimation of every freedom we have left is neither "light" nor "transient".

With ACORN alone getting additional BILLIONS of dollars for their vote fraud scheme will ensure your dream of getting more conservative candidates elected never comes to fruition.

I respectfully disagree, CK. As you pointed out by your quoting of the DoI, the framers understood that revolution may be necessary. Additionally, they stated that, "...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

We have reached the saturation point. We are being made to deal with abuses and usurpations. The government is creating tax law to get back money that wasn't theirs to give, they are passing laws in direct opposition to the Constitution (FOCA mandates health organizations to perform abortions or lose Federal funding), and they are attempting to literally remove the voice and the fangs of the Conservative movement by silencing opposition on talk radio and passing inane gun control laws to disarm the law abiding.

If now isn't the time, CK, then when is the time? Additionally, I agree with you that we need to promote strong Conservative and Constitutional ideas, but when the deck is stacked against us in the polls (there's mounting evidence of voter fraud and ballot box stuffing) and the courts won't hear a case about the LEGALITY of our President's birth certificate, then we really have nothing left to help us attain freedom. They have legislated away our freedoms. When do we stop them?
