This isn't directed personally to you.

In all honesty, I would appreciate a well-thought vanity post by those who think something other than peaceful means will restore our freedoms.

Congress is popularly elected, and the president is elected every four years, so how do we revolt against ourselves? Keep the constitution? Amend it at the point of a bayonet? Maybe a national referendum to elect a despot for life who could be counted on to maintain order and stop the bloodshed?

If a nationwide or sectional Jeffersonian watering of the tree of liberty is point "A," I would like to know more about the intervening points "B-Y" that lead to the goal of freedom at point "Z."

Maybe you should do a little reading, say Article 5?

You do everything that you can within the confines of the US Constitution and the tools available to you as a civilized man... if ALL else fails... revolution... and that is the last option on the list. Why? Because millions of Americans will die if it ever happens and that should be avoided if at all possible... but never should it be avoided at ALL COSTS... because that would mean that the millions of Americans that have died to ensure our Freedom and Liberty would have died in vain. We owe it not only to ourselves and our future... we owe it to our past as well. That is why it must only be a last option when your back is against the wall... like the lives and times that our Founders endured. I pray it never happens... if it does... I will answer the call.

Read “unintended consequences”.
