Do you guys have any other constitutional rights in mind, which could be taken from you in order to save the economy? Your guns maybe? I mean... you clearly don't need them anymore at this stage of the coup d'état.

you werent talking to me, but damn right......that doesnt know a party .......
Thanks for being honest. The two parties are like mega churches, they interpret and pervert the text to fit their agenda.
So far theyve tried both.........
I'd agree there could be a case made for attempts of sedition by factions of the left.... But not treason.
The treason aspect could be debatable, but yes its for sure borderline........the question is , how long before they say FK it.........

Except that "the right" is rolling high on propaganda from the Brave New Oligarchy, q.e.d. This isn't a left vs. right issue. It's class-warfare, and my fellow leftwinger cousins, like you neoliberal dreamers, chose the "winning" team for profits.
Theres no profit for us in civilwar........and theres no profit in socialism, so .........maybe think that through again......

Perhaps read the constitution.........your argument is infantile and doesnt make any sense......
You are quite right, I changed my mind and do no longer speak of “radical evil.” … It is indeed my opinion now that evil is never “radical,” that it is only extreme, and that it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension. It can overgrow and lay waste the whole world precisely because it spreads like a fungus on the surface. It is “thought-defying,” as I said, because thought tries to reach some depth, to go to the roots, and the moment it concerns itself with evil, it is frustrated because there is nothing. That is its “banality.” Only the good has depth that can be radical.

No thanks.
Aside from protection from tyranny, there are more reasons Americans need guns. It might be easy to say for someone dwelling in a city of another country we don't need them... But there are expanses of our country here where you do. tens of miles from any kind of help in unforgiving lands, guns are the best insurance policy you can have.
Part of liberty is saying that you want to live out in the unadulterated wilderness, but you better be packing.
For decent people there wont be much to profit from a civil war, of course not. Not unlike the war on drugs and terror, btw.
guns are the best insurance policy you can have.

What happens if the pro-Constitutionalists lose?
There is no "lose". We don't give that up.

I would be all for repealing the 16th Amendment for improving the economy. That 25%-35% instant raise would be an absolute boon.
Banning guns, given the amount of guns sales, would hurt the economy a bit. Kinda like Prohibition did. Which come to think of it a gun ban would be just another prohibition again. Only instead of bootlegger gangsters wrecking havoc on cities like Chicago, it would be gang bangers freely robbing and shooting people in cities like Chicago. Just like now in Chicago only on a larger scale with significantly less chance of being shot by the intended victim.
The problem is its not just the feds coming for those rights, its the far left as a whole, including the representatives.....
Think about all the delusional safety you can have with that, wowzers!
Oh yeah, great stuff for wars on everything! Think about all the delusional safety you can have with that, wowzers! When we talk about constitutional rights, we need to realize how they are being taken from us.
It's the right too. The right has been the source of the newfound net neutrality issue. Aside from illegal material, ISP's should have no say into what content we consume.... Yet it much of the right had their way, ISP's would have full control over what you consume.
The right constantly talks about how the media is left leaning (rightfully so in many regards), yet they're willing to let Time Warner communications control what comes through their internet? Keep in mind that is the company that owns CNN
it's between the elites and the rest of us. But it's not a war, they simply buy their influence.

I think (believe) that when/if the poo hits the fan, democrat and republican politicians will openly unite against the American people.
It's been obvious for quite some time that the republicans talk a great game but are no better than the democrats.
They represent government. And like a developmental stage of an insect, they are in a chrysalis right now and are ready to burst forth into the next stage in their evolution.
Government, for the past several decades, has been trying to find "work-arounds" to the Constitution.
