I can see that Gunsmoke had a far greater influence on many of us than our English teachers did...

The tree of liberty MUST be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants....
Thomas Jefferson.

I'm not advocating anything here. The reason I post this quote is for all to contemplate the word MUST in this quote.

Jefferson did not say, “may be, ought to be, might be, should be”, he said MUST be.

Our founding fathers formed this nation under divine inspiration for the Almighty himself. They knew the hearts of men were, are and will always be corrupt. The founding fathers wrote certain things with the express intent to ferret out evil intentions within our governing body and subscribed methods in which to deal with it.

This is just one quote, there are many that deal with oppression, corruption and tyranny.

We should all take stock in these writings, it may just please the Lord to restore this nation to prosperity once again.

Thank you for your patriotism.

Active Duty + Reserves < 1% of US population

Approx .7% (including support personnel).

Hard to envision the US military used to subdue a country and a population the size of ours (even if they were so inclined, which a majority would not be).

Average ratio of sworn police / citizen 2:1000

I can envision the rabble taking to the streets and trying to burn down the cities (since it’s happened before) but I don’t see how that benefits Obama.

I would like to think that there would be defectors in great numbers among the federalies, but this could come down to race, wherein federalies of a certain race would not defect.

This has been gamed out at the war colleges for many decades and this is how it has turned out every time. Everyone loses.

First of all, WHY would the feds game this out, for what purpose? The mere fact that it has speaks to the nature of the people in charge.

Second, no, not everyone loses. Yes, the free forces lose a lot - but the statists cease to exist. Did the Russians lose on the Eastern Front in WW2, or did the Nazis? Yes, it was bloody, but the Russians clearly won. That is similar to the gamed result you mentioned.

By the way, I'd love to see such a study, or at least a link to it. I'd also like to know how recent it was - because we proles have been buying about 10 million guns a year for the past several years, and have severely strained the supply of ammo in process. I'll bet that such studies would need to be revised to reflect these facts.
