I agree with you, there are a lot of fat sheep.

Just an example, I was in an office with a friend who was waiting for medical records. You had to take a number and when your number was called you went to the window. We had been in there about 35 minutes waiting. A woman came in and just started talking to the clerk, no one said a thing(about 10 people waiting).The heck with everyone waiting, she was special....LOL.

Well I did, I told her to take a number, sit down, and wait her turn. My friend was embarrassed I spoke up, too bad. But this is what you have today in this country, people who sit on their hands for the most part.

The majority are asleep in this country.

I know I am not alone. Communism will be run out of this nation, one way or the other and the Constitution restored to its full glory, for the individual, not destroyed for the socialist collective groups.
Your thinking is scary because I don't know what you refer to when you say "communism will be run out of this nation". I know you are referring to something, but I don't know what since there is no "communism" in this country. Maybe you think there's going to be a civil war against liberals and you will win? LOL!!

But if you don't know what you oppose ("communism"???) and you therefore identify it incorrectly, you won't accomplish what you want. You'll create a disaster instead, if anything.

Maybe anything you oppose is "communism"?

You could have done better. You could have told the person sitting behind the desk to tell the lady to take a number and wait her turn.

I don't see people, especially those who are Republicans, wanting to get rid of wealthy elites, like Trump and Clinton. Those two will get many, many millions of votes in November. However, people still get really highly emotional over homosexuals being granted rights, especially same sex marriage, along with abortion still not being banned. So do you think the revolution or split should be mainly based on taking away all rights from homosexuals and getting abortion banned?

No, not even close. Most of the population agrees on 95% of everything, it is only the 5% of things, and these are the things politicians and activists love to hype up, that the population does not firmly agree on.

Even at that, a lot of disagreement is just because the other party said it.

There are no serious issues being discussed in the US at the present, unlike in 1861.

That wouldn't have worked, he was a young guy and she was a 40 something woman who was let's just say was displaying her goods and being flirty. Before I said anything I waited to see if he was going to say something to her before speaking up, he wasn't. It was clear after a couple of minutes she was going to cut in front of everyone and he was allowing it.

I have to tell him how to do his job?

Big deal. CPUSA consists of 6 people, two of whom are FBI agents.

No.

And if people with these kinds of kooky ideas ever do revolt and win, then this country will quickly start looking like a third-world dung heap.

I'd love to see the hillbillies with their guns keep up our technology sector, international financial networks, infrastructure, healthcare and medical research, etc.

No.

Next trip you talk to Golden Corral and you'll forget all about the "revolution."
