Question: Is it really time for a revolution!?
I feel like being a little cliché and I'm sure that most of you probably have read this rant a thousand times before, but anyway I personally do not care because I feel like venting!
Thomas Jefferson --- "A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants"
Now I am not going to push any of my opinions on you!. I want to hear what you think whatever it may be! Please do comment!. I want your opinions on the patriot act!. Tell me what you think about the US in Iraq and the probable coming war in Iran!. There's a saying you break it you buy it!. Do you think a new president will end the war in Iraq!? And most dearly to my heart of all, about the electoral college which only gives people an illusion that their votes do in fact matter!.
Daily do I hear people complaining about the way our government is run, but I wonder how many people are actually willing to change it!. I in no way mean anything violent but just through shear number if enough people could unite image the changes we could set forth!. I think its been long enough we have let the few tell us what to do!. Okay i feel better now just think about it plz okthnkxbyzx peace!
By the way sry i probably did put some of my opinions in there, well anyway give me yours!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Revolution is absolutely neccessary to clean up this society and wake people up to the realities of the lives their living, and the fools in Washington who are running and ruining those lives!. I refuse to be controlled by so called caring politicians who claim to want the best for this country and it's citizens!. We are over taxed and over charged in the name of greed which will only continue to get worse until we rise up and fight for what is just and what we should be entitled to!.
I'm tired of hearing about the constant increase in products and the ever falling economy!. The cost of living rises while the pay scale remains inadequate to sustain a comfortable life without the continuous worries and stresses brought on by an overly complicated and overly greedy world!. The suits in Washington must be held accountable and we the people must rise above the insanity of this society and take back what is rightfully ours!.
I tend to refer to this country as the United States of Russia because while I love my land and always will, we continue to lose our rights and our liberty and I will not stand for my country being thrown into a state of anarchy and witness the slow death of democracy!.
However, while I wait impatiently for a Revolution, I fear it will never happen in a modern society where not enough people care and continue their every day lives working like sheep while being told what to do and how to live by morons whose sole purpose in life is not to improve the good of mankind, but to improve their own financial situation to a degree where the only thing thats matters in life is money and what they can do for themselves and not for others!.
When a world has reached a point of self interest and non caring and non compassion for your fellow man, then that world slides down to the very depths of hell from which we will never return from!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Revolutions are utterly inappropriate in democracies!. In societies that aren't democracies, revolutions might assert the will of the majority against the tyranny of a small group!. In a democracy, any revolution would necessarily be counter-majoritarian and therefore illegitimate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think any talk or activity of a second revolution will be smashed quickly and decisively!. And since we have given up our rights to Homeland Security, and all the new Executive Orders, that Congress recently given to the President, I!.E!. wire taps, Internet activity, seizure of banks, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
People nowadays don't have the stomach for a true revolution!. It would be "too hard"!. "Too much of a hassle"!. It would interfere with work or their daily Starbucks!. It's easier to just roll over and whine in their pillows!.

Revolution would make the news more fun!. I like bad news!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I consider myself an American patriot!. One who cares so much for his country that he is willing to destroy it in order to save it!. For nearly two hundred years, the democracy established by our Founding Fathers has been trampled, ignored, and flagrantly abused by our "elected" leaders!. It is long past time for we the people to take matters into our own hands and say enough is enough!. We need to start working toward a more perfect union, reestablishing justice, seeking domestic tranquility, defending the common man, weaning people off of welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our children!. Can we do this bloodlessly!? Probably not!. The politicos in Washington have grown accustomed to their ways, and are disinclined to change the way things work!. The American populace fed up with the antics of these politicos, the silent majority, will need to forcefully retake the reins of power in this country by any means necessary to ensure that the United States government truly is of the people, by the people, and for the people!. Governments are instituted to secure the unalienable rights of man!. When a government fails to secure these rights, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and institute a new government!. We may not have the same grievances against our current government as the colonists had against King George, but the precedence has been established to justify revolution!. There is no end in sight of the corruption and greed unless the American people stand up for their rights!. If a little politico blood must be spilled to achieve our freedom!.!.!.well!.!.!. the ends justify the means!. God bless America!Www@QuestionHome@Com
revolution is long overdue!. lincoln overstepped his authority, and so have pretty much every president since!. we're being unfairly taxed, which was the root cause of the first revolution, the supreme court is ruling the nation based on whims, our legislature is full of cowards and crooks!. the constitution is being trampled underfoot, the declaration of independence is being edited out of our history!.
the constitution is a contract!. and the federal government is not party to it, but the result of it!. people need to wake up and take arms before the last of the sane are locked in fema camps never to be seen again!. God is going to judge the people of this land, and it's not going to be fun!.
this nation is not, nor has it ever been, a democracy!. it was once a republic, "if you can keep it!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well, if the people dont listen to reason and vote in that Obama fella, we're just going to have to have us a coup! Just like the one my granddaddy would have taken part in to off that pinko Rosievelt, if that chickensh*t Smedley Butler hadnt tattled!.
