Obama and his umpa lumpas

I don't think a revolution is going to happen. I do believe inspite of the current trend the Constitution will prevail. If you have no faith that your Constitution works then you must believe President Nixon left the White House because the cooking was bad.

How bad the backlash is from this current trend only time will tell. I think another four after Obama will still be Democrat. Then the economy and lack of jobs for those willing to work will bring a swing back to the right and then settle in the middle.

Currently there are a lot of workers on the Government Tit that are receiving lay off notices. There will be base closures and a reduction in Military force leaving us vulnerable and the American people don't accept that well.

I have said before I signed and took an oath Both Foreign and Domestic. I have fought on the ground in a war and I do not think I could look down my sights and see another American and pull the trigger I guess I am off to a camp in my old age if it takes me taking up arms against my own country.

I guess the moral solution is to refuse to take your own entitlements from the pockets of the next generation, and to be a proactive political voice. What else can someone do?

Well, I guess the other major thing to be done is to help grow the economy (by creating either efficiencies or innovations, proactively), such that the net income available rises to meet the demand.

I just don't think there's a major disarmament agenda for sinister reasons. Like a mad cackling "first we take away the guns, and then we raise the taxes!". Socially, balancing the books and firearms are viewed (by the majority) as rather separate issues, and the politicians likely see them the same way. People give so many reasons why they should have their gun ownership accepted, and only a few of those reasons resonate outside of the pro-gun crowd. Many of them can seem kooky, and it's important that we all realise that.

There's no level of gun-freedoms that will restore America's fiscal viability or make entitlements sustainable. They're different stories. And the battle against entitlements is ham-strung by the hypocrisy of those who're against them, but will still take them (at the expense of the next generation). That protest sign "keep the government hands out of MY Medicare" got a lot of traction.

First let me be the first to congratulate your teacher for having such notions. Are you in a public school system?

A revolt? That depends on your definition. There are many revolts from small & quiet to mass war.

"I don't wanna' go to work today." Small revolt.
Civil War. Massive revolt.

It is the small revolts that carry the most danger since large revolts will eventually die down.

"I don't wanna' go to work today"

There are a few possibilities here. One can decide that this is not a good idea...ya' might get fired eventually or....

You like the idea of not working. (read Entitlements) Eventually you will get fired. You might decide a life of crime is the way to go if you can't find a job.
Possible end result could be life threatening to you and others.

So many believe a Civil War will just break out any second. This is not how large scale revolts start. It is many (small) things that eventually lead to violent revolt.

Right now in this period of history, there are more small things then ever before that threaten freedom.

Yes, the pot is boiling; the lid is on tightly; the escaping pressure is beginning to whistle; few with ears to hear can detect the sound of escaping gas.
(They) say they believe a revolt is not possible. What they really mean is they (HOPE) one is not coming.

I (Hope) I will win the lottery tomorrow. Highly doubtful.
