A tyranny of the majority is still tyranny. To paraphrase Jefferson the blood of tyrants refreshes democracy.

I suggest reading "The Secret Six" which tells the story of the men who financed John Brown's attack on Harper's Ferry to understand why men under a democratic regime might find violence as the only solution to end democratic imposed tyranny.

The consensus is that Obama is going to continue not doing s##t and that is the problem. Who are the Dems going to blame when the country continues to be run in the ground. You can't blame Bush forever.

What threats of violence? Got a news story or something to prove your point, or are you just trolling?

On here just today. Many posters have called for violence. Just look around and just for good measure

oh i agree.....i was talking about the idea in the thread suggesting the right needs some kind retaliating thing which is not the case at all. Its already clear that if the vote was just a practice run, and re-voted today...the outcome would be completely different...an obvious blunder economically.

Revolution

Quote:
1.
an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.
2. Sociology . a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. Compare social evolution.

3. a sudden, complete or marked change in something: the present revolution in church architecture.

4. a procedure or course, as if in a circuit, back to a starting point.

5. a single turn of this kind.
You can have a revolution without violence. Sad that people ain't bright enough to know that.
