“Sigh. I guess it’s time. I don’t know if I changed or Free Republic changed, although I suspect the latter. Either way, I’m not on board for any of this. I don’t want any part of rebellion, even speculatively.”

“Fine. Then sit down, shut up, pay half your income in taxes and wait in line for rationed health care!”

False dichotomy. The unwise and unwarranted call for extra-ordinary measures, rebellion, hints of violence, etc. is not the only alternative to doing nothing. What absurdity.We have so many better peaceful and democratic alternatives.

What if THIS was advocated instead in a peaceful 9/12 protest ...
WE CALL ON THE DEFEAT IN THE NEXT ELECTION OF EVERY SINGLE ADVOCATE FOR BAILOUTS, TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS, TRILLION DOLLAR BOONDOGGLES, TRILLION DOLLAR ADDITIONAL TAXES, GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTHCARE AND CAP-AND-TAX REGULATION OF ENERGY.

What if also it was adovcated ...
SITINS AT THE OFFICES OF ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONGRESSCRITTERS.
... shutting down their offices. Going to the Congressional gallery. Publicly rebuking those who advocate socializing the economy.

What if in 2010 EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 218 Congresscritters who voted for cap & trade EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Congresscritters who voted for Obama’s 2 trillion deficit budget and ‘stimulus’ was defeated in 2010? Swept out of office?

*That* would be the revolution in Congress that is really needed. Every election is a democratic revolution. Democracy works. Focus on the REAL task of winning the election and, no, we wont have to ‘wait in line for rationed health care!’
