I then asked him if he knew what the spread was during the Revolutionary War. He couldn't reply so I told him from my way back high school (shock!) history course: ~1/3 Supported the Revolution and Independence ~1/3 were Neutral or tried to just stay out of the way ~1/3 Supported Britain or were not convinced Independence was possible After those numbers sunk in his face turned very pale. This is why you learn history, because it does repeat itself, and one must be educated in order to learn the warning signs. Do I want it? No, not because I don't want to be free, but because the cost in blood will be sickening. Do I think it's coming? With us only being 4% different than at the onset of the Revolution...a fool would not at least be open to that possibility...and would dismiss the possibility of any other type of domestic armed conflict happening. Sorry, had to edit because I hadn't had my morning cup of joe yet. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37714086 United States 05/13/2013 06:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By the end of this year, most likely beginning in the late summer, this country is going to erupt in the second American revolution. And the thing is most people are aware of it. Maybe they can't quite put a finger on what exactly it is that's making them feel so uneasy, but they know something is coming. Quoting: R.P. McMurphy And judging from their recent purchases of munitions, assault weapons, MRAPs, riot gear, body armor, and long-term storable food, the government is very much aware of this as well. 29% of registered voters now believe that an armed revolution will be necessary in order to retain and protect our inalienable rights. 29%!!! But I like to think of it more as a civil war rather than a revolution. We are at each other's throats like we haven't been in centuries. And as the obama administration continues its attempted cultural purge of conservativism, gun owners and anyone who practices religion, there is a massive underground backlash that's building up steam and is nearing the stage of revolt. It's left vs. right. Red vs. blue. Conservatives vs. liberal progressives. It's us vs. them. And the entire world is going to feel the backlash from it. Now if you don't believe me it's because you aren't paying attention. And if you're not paying attention, you'll probably be in the first couple of million to perish. Wake up and get prepared if you aren't already. And for all you liberal obama supporters... everything is just fine. Go back to sleep. Haha hahaha hahaha! Look at the partisan tool! Unbelievable that people on this website still believe in the red v. blue BS. They all hang out together in DC, NYC and LA and so on. They get drinks together, swap insider trading tips together, go to each other's weddings and parties, decide which group of radicals to demonize next together, they voted to bail out the banks on the back of the taxpayers together. You're the one who's not paying attention, and you're playing right into their divide and conquer playbook. Order out of chaos- they want revolution. By they, I mean democrats and republicans leadership. Get a clue and stop letting your us v. them worldview blind you to what's really going on. Anyone who willingly votes either democrat or republican should have their voting hand chopped off, just like they do in Somalia to thieves. |
