But we also know there is no f**king way in hell we can stop it if it gets like that.. After the 1st shot is fired we have no choice but to either defend or be dead.. its as simple as that..
If all the other amendments failed we can always fall on the one we wish we never needed..
And the guy in the video I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him
Is this the answer you was looking for?

That's what happens when u keep calling America a Democracy. It empowers the wealthy to vote themselves some more advantages.
Forget the man then...and focus on the MESSAGE.
LOL Bernie Sanders harping about his perceptions of obvious failures and casting a grand illusion that Democrats will somehow save the day (again) just like they did(?) when they had control of Congress from 2007 thru 2010.
He is campaigning for Democrats. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
The message this time was,
"A change we can believe in".
There will be no change.
Just my opinion on the matter.

If you all work together....they cannot simply ignore you. If they do more drastic measures may be required. Mass civil disobedience....get 20 million freedom minded Americans to peacefully surround the White House and refuse to leave until their CLEARLY STATED demands are met. The moment they crack down or kill someone...they will have lost the support of even the most ardent government supporters.

Yeah, The fact that most people think this country is a democracy means we have already lost any hope of getting back on track.

If the path to change that Americans decide on is to surround the White House and sing kumbaya until an empty promise is issued then the feds can simply ignore us no matter how many people take part because if that movement follows historical trends then the organization behind it would disband once the event occurs and organization is the most important thing when participating in politics.
I'm fascinated by people, especially foreigners, who always focus on our federal government and think that the nation begins and ends with Washington DC
it'll be because of pushback from those existing political organizational units not because some Marxist hippies decided to make a daisy-chain around the White House.

Fair enough. What do you suggest?
Or is all that you can do is just roll over and wait for the end to come?

Perhaps...as an independant observer...an ousider looking in, if you will....gives me a unique perspective that you lack??
The rot in Washington will eventually trickle down to the state and municipal level...history has shown that corruption ALWAYS SPREADS. Best to deal with the biggest issues first. Waiting for something to happen....pretty much guarantees nothing will.

I as much as I enjoy your sarcasm and derision with the hippy daisy chain comments....share how you see your state and local govs being able to help you regain control of your government at the federal level.
I'm all ears.

What do you mean by crickets? The "Tea Party" is the most analyzed political faction in the nation right now and the Koch brothers motivations have been heavily speculated on.

Why are you asking for analysis? The person I responded to was saying that no one was paying attention, I took issue with that. If you want to go down a tangent with me about "Tea Party" philosophy and goals that's OK but don't start taking me to task for things I didn't bring up in the first place.
Just to be clear, you're not suggesting that people aren't paying attention to the TP are you? Are you saying that the Koch brothers have successfully pulled the wool over people's eyes?
