    A second time you mention the "revolution". It's almost as if you're insane enough to think you're going to try and out-arm the United States.

    I see we have the Antifa alt left gearing up for a fun time!

    Please do take your threats to my base. Or do you want the US Military to act on your threats?

    We are already in a time where groups are attacking other groups that they disagree with, and at least half the population condones it.

    The gun extremists in this forum think violence is the ONLY way to solve political differences.

    When there are lots of viable and effective means of political change through PEACEFUL means, violence to solve political differences is 100% unacceptable treason.

    Only after peaceful means have been exhausted or no longer exist, is violent revolution acceptable.

    No, but it took violence to start this country.....so you could say it is based in violence..






    Om, my! Didn't you just read a whole lot into my post that wasn't there !!


    Why don't you just give a speech since what you posted has nothing to do with the post of mine you quoted....but then you appear to have not heard of the Revolution




    You seem so weirdly anxious to start a fight because I mentioned the Revolutionary War....is it because you weren't aware of it...??


    Take your imaginary fight elsewhere ( like the IMAGINARY threats you claim I'm making...YOU cannot show in any post where I made threats), ….I'm not interested in your fantasies......

    If it came down to a civil war again do you really think the "military", which is comprised of individual people, would attack and kill their own family and friends? During the civil war many individuals in the military changed sides. If it happens now many will change sides and take their weapons with them so to think violent uprising will have to fight all the military does not take into account human behavior. If a war was to break out today it would be between the left and the right and both sides are working in the military now.

    This game that's being played by progressives undermining confidence in our electoral process is taking us down that road.

    The last barrier to the use of force is the ballot box. As long as The People can use their ultimate power at the ballot box to effect change, then violent revolution is never necessary.

    An example of what happens when you undermine confidence in the ballot box is the Bernie supporter that shot up the Republican softball game. His candidate's campaign was sandbagged by the DNC and their MSM propagandists when he started to close in on Hillary. He was then told that the republucans colluded with Russians who stole the election. He was a guy who thought the electoral process was no longer an option for sending the scoundrels packing, and that violence was the only recourse.

    The People MUST have confidence in their electoral process, for, once the ballot box is ineffective, there is no other remaining option but violence.

    We know that the primary process is nothing but theater for Democrats... it doesn't matter what the constituency does, their candidate is picked well ahead of time, and their votes don't matter. This is recipe for disaster.

    What we have is government that is increasingly responsive to tyrants among the people and less responsive to the people in general.

    If he does and they beat the crap out him, he's right.
    I'm sure however that they will proudly agree that contributions to society such as their own, founded their great nation.

    "The Truth, You Can't Handle The Truth". etc.
    Men on walls with guns and all that jive.

    I don't think the military attracts apologists for violence.

    I can do no better than to refer to Thomas Jefferson's well-known thought about this matter:

    I had to vote yes. If anything, it is the only way. For America and for humanity as a whole. If their is no one left to challenge your side, you've solved the issue once and for all.

    If the govt continues to allow grossly gerrymandered districts, and ill intentioned laws aimed at eliminating eligible voters, to disenfranchise the silent majority, then yes. It isn't the representative govt we are promised if rules are manipulated to kink election results.

    See a time coming? We're there. The left resorts to violence. condones violence, encourages violence, and put no limits on what they're willing to do for power. The left is supported by a media that also condones and encourages violence, as long as they're given protection.
