Stick to Party politics, in the end, the parties will stick it to the citizens.
To all the Dems who voted for Obama in the dellusion that he would change things, what do you say for yourself now? Feel like you were swindled? You should!
To all the Reps who falsely claim a return to small, limited government and return to origins of freedom, the constitution and fair play, why is it you only say these things while a Dem is in office? The rest of the time you're busy robbing the public and trying to conquer the world via wars, globalization and other false guises.
To all the 3rd party voters, if you don't consistently build your base without it being mere fringe issues and take serious stands on issues in order to win over other voters you will never be significant. All how bout all those 3rd party voters who show up when they're so fed with the other 2 party's for an election and then go back afterwards?
In the end, vote, or don't vote, your input is insignifcant. The owners of this nation run the show, lobbying, media, politicians, the military industrial complex... we're all just pawns in their world.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

Thanks Tom, but can you tell me how?

I have a question....
When you speak of revolution and revolt....
What exactly are you talking about??
What would YOU have in mind, as far as the perfect revolution????
I am just curious...
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

(I had to think about it....) I didn't forget you Speedy.
I'm not really sure, but I'd like to see people actually caring enough about the bigger issues to the point that they walk out of their cozy holes they call houses and get into the streets. I'm not one for violence, but revolution can only happen if the people in numbers increase to the point that those in charge must listen. There has to be a better way for it to happen than to riot, but I don't know what that would be. Sometimes it has to happen that way, I guess, like with the Iran elections. Public use of Twitter also really spread the word world-wide, seeing that mainstream media would kill any news of anything happening, so power in numbers is the only way for anything to happen.
that's pretty convenient for you. you get to sit on your hands and wait until everyone else magically becomes educated enough to revolt.
It depends on which founding father, really. Most of them would have gotten out of the time machine, taken it all in for a couple of weeks, and promptly proceeded to either kill themselves, or to take the same time machine back to pre-Boston Tea Party and cancelled the whole thing. Why have all the bloodshed if they knew for sure that the empire was going to win eventually anyway-- which they have figured out if they saw America 2009.
Other interesting points:
-Some would have gotten nauseous at the idea of a black president.
-Some would have loved that he got elected as a sign of progress for those of the founders who truly believed that "all men were created equal," but probably would have hated his policies.
-Some would have tried to toke up right on the street and would have been absolutely confused why they were being arrested for it.
-Some would have probably shot the cop that tried to have tried to take his gun away for not having a permit to carry that gun.
-Some would probably be high-fiving Cindy Sheehan and would be along side her and groups like Code Pink.
-Some probably wouldn't be caught dead protesting with women.
-Just about all of them would be considered domestic terrorists or enemy combatants, and would probably be held in Guantanamo Bay, next to members of Al-Queada.
Regardless, we as free individuals have no reason not to back the principles and rights as stated in the Constitution when we truly apply it to all people. We have everything to gain, and nothing to lose if we try and restore our Republic with liberty and justice for ALL.
Sure things could be better for some....I get that.....But if they are unhappy with their situation, I think they can look in the mirror to find out what their problems are......
But overall.....I think most people are happy with their lives......

can't speak for her, but personally i'd be happy to see dc reduced to rubble, the usa as we know it splintered into 5-6 smaller, more manageable countries divided along regional and political lines, and a huge step backwards from our usual position as the biggest guy on the international scene.
Now there is an answer I was looking for!!!!!
Lets NUKE DC.!!!!!
hehehehehehe
Fuck that whole "non-violent protesting" bullshit!!!!!!
hehehehehehehe
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
What is it that makes you want to hit the streets in protest???
What is so wrong with life here in the USA, that we need to revolt???

Fact is we live in an age where everyone has access to information, education, resources and every other tool possible to fix the world around them, yet they don't because of comfort, laziness and disinterest. And because I acknowledge this fact, I'm sitting on my hands? Gimme a break. Thomas Jefferson never picked up a gun and shot at the redcoats during the Revolution, but his ideas, thoughts and actions help create a revolution and empowered people to follow through on it. Our society is in such dire conditions and thoughts, no one wants to be honest when they look around, instead it's easier to live and put up illusions. Reap what you sow in life.

Before shots get fired, I'd love to see one giant statement made by the American people as a collective. It would require each and every one of us to put all partisanship aside completely, and it has to be incredibly simple and catchy since most of the voting public really firmly believe that they only have 2 options at the polls, and probably can't name their representatives.
Without knowing exaclty how, or why, I think we can all agree that we are getting screwed, and that it's coming at the hands of almost all or our elected officials.
2010 we vote all encumbants out, plain and simple. Where I'm divided is whether we take a GIANT step and try and get everyone to support a third party, maybe even a third party with no real platform other than they are simply not democrat or republican? Or, we just stick with the "two" parties and vote opposite of whoever the encumbant is. What does that require? It requires 1 minute of research prior to the 2010 election to simply know who your rep is, and if he or she is running again to simply vote against him or her through the other major party. A 100% turnover in the House of Representatives may actually send the message to Washington that this is, in fact, their final warning.
I like the Third Party idea, personally. No one can claim it has a bias. No one can ask "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE REPUBLICANS HAD THE CONGRESS?"
It's time we took the stance that they should ALL be fired, for their collective failure across the board. I can't think of a bigger, and more threatening statement to make to the people in power, without use of actual force.

exactly...
I don't get this "everyone should educate themselves" thing...maybe they have and they are fine...
I do find it interesting that some complain and offer nothing but complaints...
This "woe is me" gets old...if you don't like your life, do something about it...
I still dont know why I am supposed to take to the streets and revolt.....
This weekend I can revolt....
Or I can go grocery shopping, buy a Christmas Tree, and watch some football with my father.....
It is going to be a tough decision.....

YOU as an individual....
YOU have gone out and gotten one of the finest educations money can buy....
You have gotten yourself a nice job.....
I see YOU in the near future, buying a house....
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE WISE DECISIONS IN LIFE......
BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE WISE DECISIONS WITH YOUR MONEY.....
BECAUSE YOU DO NOT DEPEND ON ANYONE........
BECAUSE YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN FUTURE..........
Which is why you have no reason to protest....or revolt....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
you keep saying our nation is "uneducated and uninformed"...what's your evidence...? you seem to be using a very big paint brush here...
you speak in broad, general terms and offer nothing outside of complaints...
