Knowing that your government was spying on you for "your own protection?"
Watching your government trade guns for drugs and then those guns kill Americans?

What, exactly would be your breaking point? When does it get so bad that you say, "I've had enough."

There is no plan. There is just simply different stages of anarchy. There is no plan. It's semi-controlled anarchy.
Tell it like it is...Joker.

I find your thread revolting. Does that count?


No sane person wants a revolution because you probably won't live through it and because you don't know what kind of governmental change there will be when its over.

What would cause you to revolt? Revolts aren't planned.

Diet Coke.

It's not one thing that causes it. It's many little things that build up over time.
Then one more thing comes along and it just breaks the camel's back.

Look at Brazil. Over 2 million are in the streets protesting.
What broke the camel's back there was the announcement of a 20 cent increase in bus fares.
That started the ball rolling on protests.

With all of the other problems in Brazil this was the last straw.
And it grew from there.

I said "IF" "Might" "May", but neither you nor i can predict the future and so we don't know what that puppet may pull or try to pull. So far he has the magic, going from a I never heard of the 176 day wonder boy to magic Peace prize Winner for nothing at all, to the most dead beat pres the Nation ever had and then again he was voted in.

That just shows us how stupid 1/2 the country is.

Pretty much I am ok with gross stupidity because almost nothing happens and nothing is enforceable.

The puppet hasn't yet figured out the How To of Stalin.

I hear people aren't happy with the latest Xbox, that might cause a revolt, but I am not sure how much damage a bunch of gamers that never go outside could do.

It's the leeches who will start the civil war.

When the money printing stops and their welfare bennies get cut, all hell will break loose. Until taxpayers put a stop to it.

I think it will be just the opposite!
Sooner or later the worker bees will get sick and tired of carrying the rest of the country. The purge that will follow will make the Battle of Warsaw look like a day in the park.....

That's exactly what happened and is happening in Brazil.
Over 2 million are now protesting.
And while the middle class protests, the youth are taking advantage of the situation to go on violent rampages.

It's a mess down there and we see very little coverage of it here.
And I think the lack of coverage is on purpose.
We see very little coverage of the outrage of citizens in countries all over the globe.

Read some foreign sites to really see what's going on.
