“Well not a revolution, no, because every American Citizen is sovereign unto himself with no royal personage over us. Elder Romney would have had no original claim for a revolution glorious or not. Only an indictment for crimes committed, that he was a fugitive from.”

Arguing that it was a revolution based On a world view that died in WW I that royal blood defined a nation? That is some weak sauce.

“If that snaky Mittens Romney was forced into hiding with his extended Mormon family in Mexico (great-grandfather Miles Park Romney went there when polygamy was outlawed in Utah) and then invaded America with Mexican troops would you call that a revolution too?”

In this scenario, would America be being run by a dictator, in the pay of a foreign king or leader who was massacring people for sharing a similar religion/ideology of the majority of the population (as Louis XIV was with Huegonot French protestsnts) and increasing his grip on power by building up a massive standing army led by cronies, and would this army of Mexicans or whatever be coming in to restore constitutional governance and banish the creeping despotism of the madman running the country?
