Quote by: Osborn F Enready I really tend to disagree here Brien.
I think if I participated in a current rebellion, it would have to be to resurrect the Constitution, initiate fair-voting policy and standards, unseating all current "repubicans and democrats" and holding new national elections using new fair and accountable voting standards, and fair and open debate between all parties canidates with citizen question interaction. It would have to focus on bringing back justice through a Constitutionally Limited, Democratic Republic, and removing the bi-partisan corruption and the "lesser of two evils" option by adopting via amendment if it passed, Instant Runoff Voting.
I also think it should be clear from the amount of casualties sustained in Iraq, that a guerilla war with American citizens vs the U.S. government, would be a no win situation for them. We already control the land, the majority of the interstates and roads, as well as the overwhelming majority of the population. Much of that population is armed, some very, very well. Much of that population is ex-military, and much of the current military and government forces would be depleted by mass desertions once made aware they would be shooting their own famillies, friends and citizens. This would encourage U.N. intervention, which you know would mean absolute and defiant patriotism once foreign armed forces set foot on our shores.
There is already a large number of Sheriffs and military officers who are aligned against the NWO/PNAC. http://www.patriotamerica.com/JackMcLamb/
The armed rebellion option in numbers of population also is a bonus in our modern age, vs our founding fathers times. http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/cwc/other/stats/warcost.htm
In our current climate in the U.S., there is a large percentile of "disgruntled" citizens out of that 300,000,000 people. Our armed populace, outnumbers many national armed forces. |
Enready, isn't it true that we are in our present predicament because the centralizing of power in the federal government allowed megalomaniacs to grasp power?
I suggest we need to return to what this country was before the constitutional convention in the 1780s. Centralized power is too much power to grant to men in general. There are too many megalomainacs who will seize control of such a centralized system. Fifty free states would deny them such a grasp of power. What would be so bad about following the advice of Virginia's Patrick Henry ? Federalism has been tried and is a complete failure. The people of the beltway are so obsessed with their own power that they now believe that THEY are the nation, and that any movement against their rule is traitorous, when in truth, they are traitors against the constitution which they publicly swear an oath to uphold and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. For them to honor that oath would require of them that they all return to reside in their respective states. That is the only measure that would sufficiently trim back their horns against the people of this republic.
Then, in the interest of preserving freedom, the constitution should be placed in a museum as a monument to a dream well drempt, but seriously flawed by the wickedness of megalomaniacs. Having placed the constitution in a museum, we could resusitate the Declaration of Independence and the freedom of fifty independent states loosely knit together by a mutual interest in freedom and liberty.
I am not exaggerating the seriousness of our present danger. Both branches of the federal government are under the control of megalomaniacs and the denizens of the beltway are dreaming of themselves as world rulers without realizing that once the New World Order is ensconced in power they will be terminated-- eternally eliminated by hard core socialists. Their dream of themselves in power over the whole world will come to nothing. The leaders of nations which have historically been socialistic would eliminate them as threats out of fear that they might wake up and realize that they have unjustly betrayed a nation to which they swore fealty.
