[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5520211, member: 22662"] It’s always fascinating to me to hear folks talking about revolution in the US. They tend to have a lot of passion on the subject without a lot of deep thought. A lot of angst and conviction without any comprehension of the magnitude of the task in question. It’s apparently based on an assumption that the military or large sections of it would be on their side and refuse to engage them. That they’d stand by and let these elements go neighborhoods rooting out the “leftists” and “commies”. “They’d never fire on fellow Americans!” Oh? Why not? If you’re willing to bring violence on fellow Americans, you should expect a violent response. Most times that probably wouldn’t happen because the movement would never get big enough. Other methods would be more effective. The amount of intel at the disposal of the US government after 20 years of the Patriot Act has got to be staggering. [/QUOTE]
