29% Think Armed Revolution Needed

[Mike.357]

an armed revolution is probably necessary to change things.

 

Are we to the point where it is going to happen. No.

 

The changes made at the ballot box have not been changes, Just different people getting wealthy on our back. 

 

Am I going to take up arms and participate in a revolution?  Not this week.  But I am not ready to judge those who may deem this week as the correct time to begin.

[Guest Darth Maul]

Maybe next week then ;)  I've yet to draw my personal line in the sand. But I know this much, when they come rolling down my street yelling and demanding that I go back inside and to stay away from my windows as if I have no rights well that won't be a good day for anyone.

 

Hope that clarifies things for those that are unsure of who said what and who meant this or that.

I don't know about anyone, but it will most likely not be a good day for me if this happened.

Creeping incrementalism keeps the frog from jumping out of the pot before it is too late.

Welcome to Amerika 2.0, the time for the frog to have jumped has long since passed.

 

The frog should have never got caught in the first place. :popcorn:

 

He might jump out of the pot, but his capture and cook will just corner him the kitchen, toss him back in the pot and trap him with the lid.

 

This is not directed toward anyone in specific, just don't want to post twice, so......

Where are folks strategies? Thinking beyond the first step? No alternative methods before the last resort?

 

If the left-wing socialists and communists were this "all or nothing", they'd marched against our government and all been killed a long time ago. It would have definitely made our life easier, right? We wouldn't even be battling them in our education, media and political systems today. But the reason they're winning today is because they chose the right way to fight for what they wanted; the long hard road of changing the education system, media, and taking over the political parties, etc. Why can't anyone here come together and put in the hard work like they have to change it back? Do you want to make the fight easier for them to win?

 

A preemptive attack with lack of support from your fellow citizens will only backfire on you. It will also help make the case for the left-wing to revoke our second amendment as well. Just look how close we came with the last mentally ill nuts that shot up a few folks. Can you imagine the backlash from an armed rebellion of right-wingers trying to overthrow our current administration? What a freaking fiasco that would be!

 

I stand where I've stated. We're not there yet. The education system is where you will find your win. You can't change the old minds that are made up, but you can plant the seeds in the new minds growing up. We can also infiltrate one or both political parties like the left-wing has done. Now that would be a fun battle to fight!

 

Or you can grab your little rifles with a couple thousand rounds, dig in, be labeled a terrorist and get killed in a very short time, which will result in absolutely no positive political change. As already mentioned, it would probably be the reverse, negative change, as it would be used as propaganda to revoke the second amendment and label us all terrorists and crazies.

 

Choose your life or death.

...I understand this is just discussion because my feelings are any group, no matter how big, that thinks they can go toe to toe with the U.S. Military and local Law Enforcement is delusional anyway.

 

Obviously, effective nationwide armed revolution would not, could not occur unless a large percentage of those two factions jumped in with the "resistance".   They are, after all, us.

 

As far as the military, simple majority desertion would swing the balance as long as it included air units.

the military joining in civil insurrection has never happened before, ever.  :cool:

Well, much of the CSA leadership was part of the US military.

No telling how many rank and filers defected from the US Army too. ;)

And I'm doing my part by bringing my kids up to value liberty, discussing the issues with friends, family and acquaintances. I figure that will have a much more positive impact on our cause than shooting an elected liberal who will become a worshipped martyr and replaced by someone worse. It's a technique.
