Maybe It’s Time for A Second American Revolution

How many of you have looked around the world today and wondered why we put up with so much?  Why do we allow the government to take our money and use it for frivolous things?  Why do we allow them to take away our freedoms and make us into slaves to the state?  Why do we so willingly sacrifice what this country was founded on to satiate some Fat Politician in D.C.?

Today in America we have No Justice, no freedom, no privacy.  We can not punish our children for disobedience for fear of being told we are abusing our children.  We are not allowed to punish our Animals for fear that some animal activist is going to scream Animal Abuse!  You are almost afraid to walk out of you house in just shorts for fear someone will scream indecent exposure or rape in some states.  You can’t even hug a friend for fear that someone will take offense. One cannot even read their e-mail without the possiblility that Big Brother is Watching.

Today in America you can no longer live without fearing what you neighbors might see or say.  You can no longer know if the person living beside you is a safe person to know.  Everyone is suspect.  What they might do to you?

If a person looks at the past when the First American Revolution took place, the laws that had been passed by Parliament, such as the Townshend Act and The Stamp Act, were what first spurred some of Americas Greatest Hero’s.  Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, James Otis and Patrick Henry all spoke out against the excesses of Government. One major reason people do not speak out is Fear.  They are afraid the Government is going to quash what they say.  That it will arrest them for Treasonous actions.  They fear the punishment.  Where there is No Justice, there is No Courage. 

Americans are Cowards.  They are scared to get up off their butts and take a stand.  They are afraid of the consequences.  They want everyone else to do it.  Americans have been cowed and buffaloed into forgetting one of the first principles in our Constitution.  That the Government is For the People By the People.   We are the ones who put them in power.  We are the ones who can remove them.  

Maybe we need a Boston Tea Party type act.   Instead of throwing all the Tea off the ships maybe we should get rid of one of the other overly taxed commodities.  Corn, Tobacco, or even Gasoline, throw them overboard so to speak.   Stop Shipping them, stop buying them, or even get rid of them permanently.   That might wake them up.   Perhaps we need to all march on Washington and remove the corrupt politician from their seats forcibly if need be. 

Too many Americans won’t though, they are too afraid or complacent in their current situations.  They are waiting for someone else to solve it for them.  They just want everyone else to take it away.  They won’t do what is needed.  A few hundred thousand descending on D.C. just to stand and block the entire city from operating, then when they arrest allow them to.  Every person.  The entire city would be bankrupt within a day, in three weeks the country would be bankrupt, but all would have to stand firm and demand speedy trials.  Not just sit and wait but fight for them. 

Americans need to wake up.   Look around you.  It is not going to change, it is not going to get better by electing one of the Fools that are currently there.  The only way it is going to change is if we all rise up and fight for our freedoms, fight for our country in whatever way possible.  Take it back from the Idiots and asinine fools we have given it to. 

No one can change this country, but us all.  No One man can change any thing, but 10000 can start a movement.  No One person can alter what we see around us.   No One person can do it all.  But 10000 speaking out can change the world.  Yes, one person can lead them all, but the others are needed.  Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, and all our Founding Fathers needed each other. 

Open your eyes people.  See the fall of our country around you.  See the desecration of our freedoms, see the invasion of foreign armies, see the destruction of the moral fiber and backbone of America.  We are lost, our country is dying and we are letting it happen.  It is not too late yet.  We can still change things.  America is no longer the Land of the Free the Home of the Brave.  We are now become the Land of the slave and Home of the Coward.

see the invasion of foreign armies,

This is where I knew you smoke crack.

Calm down, cow-boy. If you say that it's time for a Second American Revolution, I say it'll never be the right time for a Second Civil War.

Actually, Cikomyr, I suspect he's using the phrase in the lower-case sense - we here in Arizona are certainly dealing with the invasion of small foreign armies, armies in every useful sense of the word, though not under the control of a sovereign foreign government.  So far, they've only been 'at war' with each other, but these battles are happening right in our back yard & our government does very little to deal with them.

How xenophobe must you be to qualify immigrants and illegal immigrants as an "army"?

Reply #4 Top

How ignorant you must be of what's actually happening here.  The armies in question are a small percentage of the illegal immigrant population, but they are no less real and their victims are no less dead.

So in other words overthrow democratically elected people (people chosen by the US population) presumably with force, and put some unelected person or people in their place to rule the country as they see fit? If this wasn't JU I'd assume this was a joke thread. If you don't like the way the country is run, vote for someone who will run it better. What gives you the right to forcibly impose your minority view on everyone else?

We have rival Mexican cartels, dealing in the smuggling of drugs & humans, at war with each other.  They don't have tanks or helicopter gunships, but they have armamentaria any paramilitary outfit would covet.  They often don stolen DEA uniforms when conducting operations, typically home invasions that would make any SWAT team proud, but without the niceties.  About half the homicides in Phoenix last year were related to this warfare.

This is exactly what I was talking about.  The armed violence taking place on our borders nearly every day that is not being reported on by most of the media.  It gets ignored.  You have to hunt for it to find anything.

Well, these are not "armies". These are "criminals". Calling a dog a wolf doesn't make a wolf out of it.

edit: And taking arms against your federal governement will not solve the problem, dummy. I'd like to know how you got to the conclusion that taking up arms against Obama will help you against those highly-equiped criminals?

OK, 'criminal armies' - make you feel better?  They are organized, have a command & control structure, are equipped as well as the standing armies of many countries.  What more do you want, besides air power?

This makes no sense at all.  No idea what you're getting at.  You're just makin' up shit, now.

Common sense on your side of the argument? I also have an army invading my home territory, you know. the Salvation Army. I can't wait for us to rise arms and kick them out!

So, can you please stop being ridiculous? I understand the criminal situation is bad, but tell me why it doesn't seem to be much of a concern to your governement? There's gotta be a reason, if things are so bad as you let people believe.

Except if you just making the problem bigger than it is, which is my personnal bet.

This makes no sense at all. No idea what you're getting at. You're just makin' up shit, now.

Oh, excuse me for talking about the very topic of this thread: armed revolution against the governement. I'll be careful next time I use "logic" or "common sense", that'll get you confused.

Are you accusing the salvation army of being a mafia cartel?

Exactly. With the same credibility that you are accusing a drug cartel of being an invading military force. And I am still looking forward the moment you will tell me how taking up arm against your governement will solve the problem. And why the situation, if it's so bad, isn't more reported.

you know this kinda hits home with what is going on in the US right now.

 

History is a funny thing. Maybe most of you nay sayers need to open a book once.

 

Look at what happend in fance... heck Ill even say look at how hitler got power. People that are not seeing thes same things happen now here in the states are just blind.

 

We got class warefare going on my friends... in a bad way. We have people protesting outside of homes of people that rightfully got bonuses ( and YES they were intited to them... even if they didnt earn it... but THAT IS THE WAY THE BILL WAS WRITEN! Now that is it found out they ( the politicans ) are spinning it like you can not believe and so is the media and the people are eating it up ...idiots )

Its all about the rich have to much.... "INSTEAD OF TAKING THE BONUSES WHY CANT YOU PAY MY HOUSE PAYMENTS WAAAA!" because you dumb idiot you took to much on that you could not afford... how is it their resposibility for your actions?

 

There will be no middle class soon enough... it will be the rich people ( the ones with the power in politics ) and the rest of us. Spread the wealth my backside.... I may be not well off but you know what? I am not entitled to other peoples stuff  and I am proud with what I have WORKED to get in my life.

 

And I do agree americans are to pussified now to actually have a damn backbone and stand up. If you do all that happens is you get called a hatter... I am sorry but the road this country has started going down is a very bad thing... and if it keeps up we will be nothing better than a second rate nation. I truely feel sorry for my kids

Ignorance is lie's little daughter :)

Now, come on with actual facts or stop crying. We have our own armed trouble in Canada, and I could easily point them out to you quite easily with proper news. The level of military skill that you are describing would have made the news if it was anywhere you are describing it.

And AGAIN, even if you are right, WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH TAKING ARMS AGAINST THE ELECTED GOVERNEMENT?!

I asked that question 3 times, and not once did anyone answered the question. So, please, if there are really military drugsalesman in your region, wouldn't it be simplier to try to take them on than to blame your governement and talking about overthrowing them?

You are all talks about being able to overthrow your governement, yet you cower in fear because of a cartel that isn't making national news. Make your fact straight, please.

Try reading anything ever said by the founding fathers, particularly their notions about guns, the reason they put in the second ammendment, and most importantly, read the decleration of independence.

That being said, when things get too bad ill move,i will not take up arms against the US government... for one and one reason only... This is something that the PEOPLE WANT! This has been democratically VOTED ON. The american PEOPLE choose to be that way, as a whole they have become fascinated with communism and class warfare.

In russia and china, you have an opressive soviet regeime hated by the people, that is a perfect spot for a revolution. Here, you have a an oppressive soviet regeime whom the people love, if they choose to be stupid, well count me out.
