I just hope they have enough sense not to dare risking an open armed rebellion at the level of the nation at large. A bloody armed rebellion by 1/3 of the American colonists was required to win our liberties, and the newly liberated American citizens knew that a constitutional guarantee of the RKBA was necessary in order to protect all of our other rights. And if the political climate of the nation continues to go the way Obama wants it to go, it may eventually take another armed rebellion in order to keep those hard-won liberties from being denied to us by the rapidly growing mob of un-American collectivists on the far left.
AFAIK, with the possible exception of Switzerland, America is the last nation on earth where the people still have the freedom to exercise the God-given, unalienable, human right to keep and bear arms for personal and national defense. The colonists thought it better to die in the fight to achieve the liberty for posterity to exercise their God-given rights than to continue living as virtual slaves to a tyrannical royal government. And if another rebellion becomes necessary, this time against a tyrannical, Godless, un-American, oppressive, Marxist government, in order to preserve those rights for present and future generations of Americans, it will be the duty of every patriotic American man to redeem with our blood the liberties that our forefathers fought and died to win and leave to us.
I know that many people will say that talk is cheap but blood is dear, and I agree. But I also have to believe that there are still many Americans who would be willing to sacrifice their blood in order to preserve the liberties of their children if it ever comes down to that bitter choice, and it just may if Obama is a foretaste of what lies ahead. Thousands of years of human history is to a large extent an account of the common people's never ending struggle with tyrannical despots wielding illicitly acquired power over their lives, and there is no reason to believe that the success of the American colonists approximately 2-1/4 centuries ago settled that struggle for all time to come.
BIG BTTT
Fortunately for them, the King didn't have tanks, F-15's, Helos, and Puff the magic dragon.
One must recall that Sherman was an American, and so were the people he slaughtered in his march to the sea.
