Not picking on you but I see a similar refrain posted all over Free Republic. Exactly how accurate is this? How many people will actually pick up guns and go fight? Where would they go? Whom would they shoot? I'm sitting here in Atlanta, GA. getting more pissed off by the day. Where do I go with my gun?
I think the way a "revolution" happens is that some state finally says "enough". We're going to enforce the 10th amendment and uphold our sovereignty. Others will follow and we'll have a repeat of the Civil War. Then it gets interesting... But what state will do it? Who goes first?
You have the solution. Give up on Washington, that way is hopeless. We need to protest and petition our state legislatures for relief.
I wonder about that all the time myself. I would suggest either selecting an accountable soft target like the Broadcast Media, or quietly destroying the infrastructure as more practical.
You are going to do what with a gun? Shoot the local dogcatcher? You cannot get near any of the people who deserve it.
March on Congress? As in Tienamen Square?
In the town hall meetings we saw how quickly they run and hide.
Agreed. Lots of words, little action - exactly what the Left is counting on. Kvetching can be ignored. Talk is cheap. Rah rah rah won’t take it any more tar & feathers throw the bums out don’t underestimate remember the Alamo FMCDH ... meh.
I agree with what you say, but I would bet that 90% of the people couldn’t tell you what the tenth amendment says.
I talk up the tenth amendment every chance I get and usually get blank stares back.
You’re right - it has to happen at the state level, with states refusing to comply, refusing to turn over income taxes revenues, and declaring their sovereignty.
THEN we may have to “pick up guns and go fight” when the feds attempt to use force to make the states comply.
Virginia. That's why I voted for Bob McDonnell; he's got both the character and the ability to stand up to the Feds.
