This is true and the country will surely convulse. However, the history of the American experience shows that freedom is a fragile thing with a big cost.

We were born of revolution that is a fact. However we have the most stable Republican Form of Government the world has ever known. There will be no revolution. Here is food for thought. In times of national crisis such as the great depression the country did not lurch to the right it ran to the left. They looked to Washington to take care of them. Those that think by letting the liberals take us down the tubes so the country will "wake up" and become a nation of rock ribbed conservatives are ignoring the history of their own country not to mention human nature.

Your points are true. However, fear of the noose is no reason to not fight for ones freedom. (I speak of revolution at the ballot box - not with force of arms.) It is better to have fought for freedom and died a peon, than to have sold freedom and died in comfort.
