I want to caution folks. I understand that Conservatives own guns. We live in a changed world today. The same weapons used against terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan would be used against us in the U. S.

We have no prayer whatsoever of prevailing. We would be demonized, and much of the public would think the government was taking the only actions it could take, because armed Conservatives were so evil, destructive, and vile.

How are you going to prevail against predators that can spot you and eliminate you from five miles away?

Folks, there were a lot of people in the South, that thought a civil war against the North was a great idea.

Lets face it, God will have to sort this out. Unless you have a death wish, and want to see your family pay heavily for your failed actions, I caution you to use sound judgement.

D1, I understand and respect your views. The prospect of a domestic war between American citizens and a pack of despots in Washington is a sobering thought to put it mildly. (The following comments are intended ONLY for hypothetical discussion and are not intended to advocate the violent overthrow of the government.)

I cannot agree however that such a conflict would end up in failure for re-establishing the freedoms and liberties that are even now being extinguished by the 0bamunists and their minions. It has been posted many times that in our first Revolutionary War, that only approximately 30 percent of the population chose to fight and oppose the British, but that was enough for victory.

In a future hypothetical war against Washington, the new American Revolutionaries would have advantages that our ancestors did not, in the areas of military experience, familiarity with the military tactics likely to be employed by the dictatorship, knowledge of the location of supplies, guns, ammunition, munitions, etc., and a most important factor is that unlike our ancestors, who had very few if any substantial numbers of British troops defecting to our side, let alone fighting WITH us, a new revolutionary conflict could almost depend on substantial numbers of defections from federal-regime forces, from the simple act of throwing down their weapons, doffing their uniforms and saying "to hell with this, I'm not shooting my fellow Americans", to GIVING us their weapons stealing MORE from their former federal employers, and fighting alongside us. We would not be only a rag tag, disorganized army of irregulars, we would have the benefit of the support of veteran military officers and enlisted men who would choose the cause of freedom, as opposed to the cause of continued federal tyranny.

I point out also, that how the public would view the new revolutionaries would be largely shaped by what was broadcast to them, and I'm here to tell you that TV and radio facilities, especially if they were being utilized for the benefit of a tyrannical regime, would probably be considered fair targets, and subsequently put out of commission. In that same vein, the public may be electronically tied to the Internet, but you can be sure that revolutionary forces will be capable of resorting to short wave, morse code, and NON-digital means of remaining in communication with their fellow citizen-soldiers.

Now to take this a step further, while I highly doubt that a second American Revolution would escalate to the point of using tactical nuclear weapons (unless it was by the 0bamunists), there is also the prospect that qualified military pilots might elect to join the rebellion, to the point of bringing their aircraft with them, perhaps even using their own munitions (air to ground missiles, gravity bombs, etc.) on federal forces.

There are simply too many variables, too many possible scenarios that play out to the advantage of the new hypothetical revolutionaries to automatically write off their prospects for victory.

It would be nightmarish, it would be bloody, it would be ugly with a capital 'UGH', but at this point our Revolutionary ancestors would already be at war, based upon the violations of our freedoms by a vile tyranny fast becoming the American equivalent of an old Soviet-style regime.
