I was walkin’ down the street In the town where I was born I was movin’ to a beat That I’d never felt before So I opened up my eyes And I took a look around I saw it written ‘cross the sky The revolution starts now Yeah, the revolution starts now
The revolution starts now When you rise above your fear And tear the walls around you down The revolution starts here Where you work and where you play Where you lay your money down What you do and what you say The revolution starts now Yeah the revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now In your own backyard In your own hometown So what you doin’ standin’ around? Just follow your heart The revolution starts now
Last night I had a dream That the world had turned around And all our hopes had come to be And the people gathered ‘round We all brought what we could bring And nobody went without And I learned a song to sing The revolution starts now
Sit back behind a computer and post on the Internet using obscure chit-chat forums!
The computer is the new fiddle. Don't have to worry about getting hurt or killed that way until they come after us. And they will be coming. Some of the things that are posted on this very forum is insane and it gives them leverage to control us more. Dancing With The Stars is a good example. According to what I see printed on this forum, DWTS is more important than the inside destruction of our country.
I do too. What is it you and others really want besides chit-chatting to berate our efforts and our format of peaceful assembly? Do you:
1. Want things to stay on the current course towards more tyranny if it is profitable for you?
2. Want the tyrannicals to repent enough to just ease-up some?
3. Want the tyrannicals to have an epiphany and repent enough to choose to follow the Constitution?
3. Want to overthrow the tyrannicals and the Constitution too in a shooting war?
4. Want to assist the tyrannicals in overthrowing the Constitution, dissolve our States, and so on?
5. Want to nullify the tyrannicals and their systems and replace them with something better in line with the Constitution?
6. Other -- like just fiddling around posting to kill time until the tyrannicals come for you?
It's one thing to talk about a shooting war as the only option but what then, on the off-chance that the tyrannicals could be replaced that way eventually? Anarchy and everyone adrift in the aftermath? Sounds to me like Bush's no-plan other than prolonged Chaos and Conflict for the countries he invaded.

Hell you can't even peacefully assemble any .more. They send in a few "plants" and then start caving in heads. I guess you think we can talk our way outta this mess we're in or change things at the ballot box Is that what you think will achieve the desired results? Fat chance. We're too far gone for that! Those who believe they'll leave us alone eventually are sadly mistaken. Are you one of those? They keep taking away our freedoms and when they feel they are in total control, we have had it.
Jefferson warned us how to keep our freedom and said the price to do so was blood shed by both tyrants and patriots. Apparently we as a whole don't have the stomach for it. If we don't have the moxie to restore this nation by whatever means is necessary, then the people as a whole and those on here ought to quit bitching about what is happening to us, bow down, and accept whatever they want to do to us, and what they want to do to us "AIN'T pretty.
Generally, I agree with him but he didn't walk the walk he was chit-chatting about there as if bloodshed is fertilizer.
He's not one of our Founding Fathers who paid such a high price for our Freedom and, while war might be the objective of those who attack our Freedom and forced upon us to defend it, America, and ourselves, I don't believe other Founders intended for us to "ransom" our Freedom repeatedly from thieves and hoardes of saboteurs of it or from bloodthirsty Chickenhawks disturbing the Peace either. Our first duty to protect our Freedom, imo, is not war but to go about our own business of governing ourselves Constitutionally and building our society and economy with those principles. Of course there are those opposed and lots of them but they aren't our dictators. They're like delusional outlaws and invaders from a foreign system but what if they weren't even "in the picture" at all or were defeated by war? What would be your best hopes for America?
Tough talk but Did he see military action during the war? Answer: No. The closest he allegedly came to that was narrowly escaping capture twice.

Did you serve in the military?
A comedian amongst us. How in the hell are we going to govern our selves Constitutionally when the bastards tearing this country down and shreading our Constitution on a daily basis. The longer they are in power, the more freedoms we lose. You bugwits can't seem to gather that in.
They aren't going to leave and give up their power by us asking them nicely to do so. They are playing a mean game, a destructive game, and I'm sure it is gonna get meaner and more destructive. Are you ready for your chains and leg irons yet?
Wait until we have martial law and there are empty food pantries. What are you gonna do then? Beg for mercy, beg for food, or kill some innocent person to get at their food supply to survuve? When you have to do that, you might just as well kill the bastards causing so much misery.
I got you pegged. When you put Jefferson down, that told me all I need to know and want to know about you.
