Poll: 29% of Registered Voters Believe Armed Revolution Might Be Necessary in Next Few Years May 2, 2013 By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. Subscribe to Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. RSS

Twenty-nine percent of registered voters think that an armed revolution might be necessary in the next few years in order to protect liberties, according to a Public Mind poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University.

The poll, which surveyed 863 registered voters and had a margin of error of +/-3.4, focused on both gun control and the possibility of a need for an armed revolution in the United States to protect.

The survey asked whether respondents agreed, disagreed, neither agreed nor disagreed or did not know or refused respond to the statement: "In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties"

Twenty-nine percent said they agreed, 47 percent said they disagreed, 18 percent said they neither agreed nor disagreed, 5 percent said they were unsure, and 1 percent refused to respond.

So much so that islam is now “right wing”.

In America 70 percent of Muslims identify as Democrats. Their bond is not sex, drugs, and rap and roll, but a common deep-rooted desire to destroy America.

“They are still trying to tie Boston to the “right”. So much so that islam is now “right wing”.”

Wow, that’s revisionist given how Bomber #1 was an active Obama supporter.

It is nuts. But that is the meme.

Just like there is a push to deChritianize the military. Not a word is said about the Muslim soldiers who have fragged their fellows.

The left wouldn’t allow a peaceful separation - they know what would happen to them when all the producers fled.

Nice or pretty?, no. Good, and I might add necessary?, most definitely yes.

“Not a word is said about the Muslim soldiers who have fragged their fellows.”

I remember the Ft. Hood jihadi, but I had almost forgotten about Hasan Akbar who hand-grendaded fellow soldiers before the Iraq invasion.

When the poll stats are studied, I’ll bet folks think it’s mostly red-necks that think this way. Red necks do think they’re getting screwed, but it’s my take that it’s the folks who receive what is taken from them, who think they’re mistreated more.

My take..., it’s the left that thinks things are so unfair THEY will have to fix it.

Perhaps they missed this scene from the Boston May Day celebration:

I sure hope not, but the current Presidency and the Judicial class have a deep contempt for constitutional law. “The Law is what we want it to be” seems to be the theme. The Executive routinely ignores laws it lyingly swore to defend and uphold. The Judges invent law according to their own preferences and their perceived preferences of the populace.

29% is 100 million Americans. That’s a big chunk of national change.

“Be careful what you say.”

Americans need to say what is necessary. If you fear the red coats, go drink a cup of coffee. We’ll get back to you later.

If I’m not mistaken, America’s revolution against British rule was made by the same 30% margin of disgruntled American patriots.

Histroy shows a nations electoral process can only be as free and fair as its press.

“At that point, all the decades of preparing people with messages about racist right-wing extremists will bear fruit. The hammer will come down, with the gleeful support of those who believe that Christians, white males, and constitutionalists want to keep women pregnant and blacks enslaved.”

Fer shure, redpoll. The quivering 400-pound bowls of jello in the IRS, ATF and Department of Tea-tasters will become 10-foot tall Rambos who will fart cop-killer bullets out their arses and hit targets at 1,000 yards.

We’re f*kin’ doomed. Thanks for enlightening me.

I’d bet the numbers are a lot higher but people don’t openly discuss or advocate for armed revolution. >30% is pretty impressive.

My first thought as well.

I sure wouldn't reveal my thoughts on it - Someone "making a list, checking it twice..."?

Your name ending up on the "reprogramming list"?

Love when people who have never worked a day in their life and likely never will, hold up implements meant to produce goods from labor.

You can let cancer ravage your body as you age or stand up for something.

How do you think the Founding Fathers would have chosen?

left to run the country without the producers - they will crumble.
