So we'll form our own group Nomander, LOL! Other than that I'll be on the side of protecting myself, and my family.

That's a good idea. And I could open a funeral home.

Sitting on a beach abroad while morons bash their heads in and then re-establish the same people in their new-founded government that led to this hypothetical uprising.

Sorry, I got only one life and at this point, it's not worth dying over the same meaningless crap that humans have been doing for centuries.

Nothing ever changes - only labels. The masses used to be serfs to their kings, now they are serfs to their employers. Europe didn't want to be united under German military rule, instead it is now united under German economic rule. The Spanish fought off the "Moors," now the "Moors" live everywhere. Millions have died for these grand ideas. Wow, what progress.

I believe the big guns of war in our country and the national guard are on the side of true democracy which is defending a free marketplace without big government of a dictatorship .

To march against capitalism is to march for communism and too many of our boys who fought for the right to a free marketplace and a democracy for the people , not for the government or dictator.

Will the people throw all what we worked and defended for since we were a nation? I don't think so.

You'd have about one week before people started starving to death and after two weeks there would be dead bodies in the streets and people fleeing the city en masse I am Legend style...
I guarantee you that The Good Earth is a far more likely scenario for anarchy then I am Legend.

I would like to tell all that I really believe Obama wants to declare martial law but next spring now yet. If he can get that done he can stall the elections as long as he pleases. Something like that could really bring a revolution and I am still on the side of legality.

When it reaches this desperate level, which side will you support? Will you be with changing the power structure in government and finance by force, or remain complacent no matter how bad the situation gets?
We don't live in the 1770's. The only ones revolting will be the communist/socialist revolutionaries. When they revolt, better believe that it will be crushed quickly.

I don't believe you but I sure hope you are right. Obama will not crush a revolt by the people you mention. Hell, he is one of them.
