Here’s the risk for them: If they take away our means for prosperity, then they will find themselves with millions of angry people who have very little to lose and a lot to gain by a real revolution.

The way the Marxists were handling things before Obama was working nicely for them, albeit slowly. Doing it Obama’s way is also much more likely to foment a bloody revolution.

I’ll stand corrected on this, but my gut tells me that in the history of revolutions, the revolutionaries have won more games than the tyrants. And we would be playing on our home court.

Congress and Obama will make sure this is a slow drip where they think no one will notice. First year $50 extra a year, 2nd year $100, 3rd year $200, etc, etc,,,

"I’ll stand corrected on this, but my gut tells me that in the history of revolutions, the revolutionaries have won more games than the tyrants."

That's because only the successful ones are remembered. Failed revolutions outnumber successful ones by 100 to 1. Besides, successful revolutions are always from the top down, not from the bottom up, and where are the great revolutionary leaders of today. Can you name them?

Anyway, I suspect that if there is a revolution in this country it will be from the left. We see it now. A bloodless revolution happening before our eyes and virtually overnight. They took over the apparatus of state and are using it to the fullest. Those who's job it is to oppose them, the Republicans, are impotent cowards or quislings. No hope there. What's left? The American people? At least half of them are on board with Obama.

However, even a lost cause is worth fighting for, and you should never give the enemy a free ride. Remember the Warsaw Uprising!
