"...is that when it's over a country has changed not merely its leaders and its laws, but its operating system.

I'm getting so weary of metaphors. Let's be blunt, our "operating system" is a societal contract called the Constitution of the United States of America. This is not an "operating system", it is a written contract and has been abused and ignored that it is no longer recognizable. Okay, so I'm splitting hairs.

So what? What are you going to do about it? Nothing, most likely. You're going to talk and talk about it all; give it new names; and do nothing while our contract is ripped to shreds.

You will write your representatives; join your demonstrations (as I used to do); bitch on the Web; occasionally talk with relatives and friends; and then watch your "op system" go to hell.

I don't mean you, personally. I mean the American populace in general. There are movements growing for States' rights. There are movements growing otherwise - take that as you will.

Just stop giving metaphors for the Constitution of the United States of America. You and everyone else should use the word, CONSTITUTION, every time you speak of the abuses of the Fedgov. End rant.

We should also stop using the metaphors: liberal, progressive, leftist...etc.

The philosophy and political action we are fighting is COMMUNISM!

“here are movements growing for States’ rights.”

People can’t just concentrate on the federal government. Citizens need to take back their local governments.

Run for your local council seat. Volunteer to sit on the planning and zoning boards, where liberals cause damage to our property rights.

Read your state open meetings law. Liberals in local governments are constantly holding illegal meetings. With your open meetings law, you can sue liberals, nullify ordinances and even throw them in jail.

There’s no reason conservative communities should be under the thumb of liberals. Take back your local neighborhoods.

If you’re going to be revolutionary, start local.

I don’t think you are splitting hairs at all. You are exactly correct that the Constitution is a societal contract. One side does not have the right to ignore or change it without the other side’s permission and approval according to the terms of the contract. If one side (the fedgov) abrogates the contract, the contract is null and void.
