Decent men do not usually win these conflicts.
They are savage and they are ugly and
the leftists are better at both of these things than conservatives tend to be.

MaxMax, I don't know why you resorted to pure insults in your post. Sharrukin was stating some wisdom in his first post about the difficulty of getting people to give up their comforts and routine, in order to rebel. Jefferson himself said much the same thing in the Declaration of Independence:
“...all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms (of government) to which they are accustomed.”

I too dread the prospect of a revolution/civil war, because no matter why it starts, no one can guess what the end result will be.

We Americans tend to think in terms of OUR revolution of 1775-1783, which was a highly civilized conflict led by very Christian men. It was an ANOMALY in the history of rebellions. These days, with our society as decadent and godless as it has become, a revolution could easily get hijacked and we could end up with the French version in the 1790s, or the (2nd) Russian of 1918-1919.

Sharrukin, you err in your later posts as saying the US lost 2 wars against Canada. Both examples were merely campaigns in larger wars. While we have lost many battles and even campaigns, we've only lost (politically) 1 war.
