Simply going out and voting isn't going to fix what's wrong when your political system has been hijacked.
We're not taught....the famous second paragraph (well, no longer famous second paragraph) of the Declaration of Independence which says that it is our duty to overthrow the government if the government suppresses the freedoms of the people.--Naomi Wolf

Yes, I totally agree, but the problem is, a tyrannical govt would never come out and announce itself to be tyrannical, it will always try to disguise tyranny as something else, something that is beneficial to people, or for their safety, this fools people into believing tyranny is a good thing.
Plus, I would bet if a small group tried to shut this tyrannical govt down, a great majority of people would actually side with govt over their fellow citizens, that is how brainwashed people are today!
Ive said it on other threads, in todays world under this type of govt we have right now, real american patriotism would look more like domestic terrorism, sadly though to many people patriotism means total subservience and obedience to a tyrannical authority. LOL I stopped celebrating 4th of July a few years back, I just cannot stomach celebrating obedience to the govt we have today, I think our founding fathers would find this to be treasonous actually.
