Does any superpatriot/wannabe revolutionary think they can actually take on the government and the US military?
Radical idiots from both sides of the spectrum are now issuing death threats to Congressmen, taking part in vandalism, and there are many that are taking about an impending revolution, which makes me laugh. First off, these heroes have relatively few supporters, while the military has millions available for service. Next, they have crappy rifles and Ford trucks, while the US military has automatic weapons, tanks, missiles, rocket launchers, helicopters, etc. In addition, these aren’t the Patriots of the American Revolution (those men were actually led by intelligent leaders and had the support of foreign powers) or even the Confederates of the Civil War (their leaders were also pretty intelligent and they too had some foreign support because of the cotton industry in the South).
Here is the best case scenario for any rebellion: they have uprising in several cities around the US before they are arrested by the cops and are thrown in prison for at least trying to instigate anarchy and endangering the lives of other Americans and the movements break apart because they realize they are losers and wouldn’t last a second if they were standing in front of an Abrams tank.
I don’t understand all of this violent rubbish coming from anonymous weirdos on the internet or on the phone; they don’t seem to have the balls to put themselves in public, unlike the Patriots of the Revolution. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington actually had real grievances, along with the other revolutionaries of the time, and they sure as hell weren’t afraid to be public about their beliefs and didn’t threaten other people.
Ron Paul doesn’t even want to associate himself with those people. He is actually a real patriot who doesn’t threaten people like a coward.
Brothers in the Civil War fought against each other, so I am pretty sure there are some servicemen who would take up arms to fight idiots who are threatening their families and innocent Americans.
Okay, I have nothing against the Tea Party movement in itself, as long as it remains peaceful. If its members behave and don’t use violence, they will become more influential.

People like to talk especially on sites like Y/A where most of the people remain anonymous. There is not going to be a revolution for many reasons,no one could plan and pull enough people together to even start to revolt without the government knowing about it. and even if some of the people in the military refused to fight their own people there would still be enough to put down any uprising.. Our firearms are no match for the military weapons so I am sure that a lot of the people would do what I would do, stay home and protect what is mine. If there is going to be a revolution it will have to be at the voting places and the ballot would be our weapon and our vote would be our ammunition.

They’re stupid.

As the wife and sister of two marines, do you honestly thing that our service men would fight against their own families?
That being said I am not for any revolution. I vote.

So far I have seen no evidence that any of the "violence" has been perpetrated by any real Americans or Conservatives or Tea-Baggers.
In fact, the reports of use of the N word were never proven., only claimed and one reporter confessed he made up the report he gave on television.
The only band words recorded were those that came out of the mouth of Vice President Biden.
Are you sure the reports aren’t either fabricated or possibly being perpetrated by the Left to create useful propaganda?
I’ve been to Tea Parties and saw no violence. I saw orderly people concerned about elected Representatives who ignore the majority of Americans and concerned about loosing their Constitutional Rights.
Some were so concerned about responsible behavior that they carried their own trash bags so they would leave no litter when the event was over.
Isn’t it illegal to use the military against civilians?
(As if that would stop Obama.)

The only thing you can hope for is all the middle class and poor that have children in the armed forces. The children will remember who put a roof over there heads and at least give us a tank yes thank you very much.

You are obviously a liberal afraid to be public about it and are afraid of patriots and their guns and trucks. Do you know anything about the Revoluntionary War? Do you know they were massively outnumbered and out supplied? Do you know that they changed the world with true heart and faith in what they believed in? Granted starting a revolution would be hard, but not any harder than it was before. I dont want revolution, I want people to quit trying to change the results of the first revolutionary war and leave my constitution alone. I want the foundation of my country to be strong and sturdy enough to not let some left wing socialist take over my country. Mark my words my grievences are real. Have you heard of the Declaration of Independence? Let me remind you,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Some examples of facts of the Declaration of Independence that apply or could apply currently.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
(In my opinion one example of this is Obama believing the constitution needs tweaking, and that excuses should be accepted as a reason to expand on the interpretation of our laws.)
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
(An example would be refusing to make a decision on the surge in Afghanistan causing more deaths to American Soldiers)
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
(Examples are Emanuel threatening people in the showers, or wherever, Obama not letting congress go home to their constituents until he got the vote he wanted, calling private meetings without transparency to bribe elected officials for their votes.)
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
(A loose example is Obama expecting, pressuring and bribing congress to vote for a bill the American people largely do not want knowing many of the elected officials will not be elected again. This congress stands a great chance of being dissolved in the next elections because they did not stand with firmness against Obama’s invasion on the rights of the people.)
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
(An easy example, the health care bill and the IRS to watch over you and fine you if you do not pick a healthcare plan to their liking.)
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
(I find this to need no explanation than watch your evening news.)
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of ou
