Great question Daniel815. I have asked this question to the pro-revolution commentators within this thread and they only offer insults and no real answers.
They haven't the foresight to consider what a revolution requires or would cost the people of this Country.

I'm still waiting for Celente to be right about something.
All of his predictions so far have been wrong. He predicted total societal collapse as 2009 progressed, and nothing of the sort has occurred.
Also, there will be NO "revolution", until the standard of living in this country resembles Zimbabwe, or Haiti or Madagascar.
This hysteria is all the provindence of a lot of people who are bored and have a lot of time on their hands. While I think things MAY get worse, it would stand to reason that they would, it sure isn't shaping up that way.

Oh, I think not, Mr Hyde...
I've considered at great length what the cost of upsetting the present Ponzi scam would cost.....I tore apart your knee-jerk argument line by line on page 3 of this thread....go back and read it again...
There is the distinct possibility of a bloodless revolution...all that is needed is for 10% of taxpayers to realize that there is not ONE line in the current federal tax code that requires private American citizens to pay federal income tax....think on that one as long as it takes you to realize the implications...
Look... civil disorder, economic strife, and mass starvation are just around the corner for this country anyway.....in case you were unaware, we are in the beginning stages of the GREATEST DEPRESSION...
The US is looking at devolution and balkanization as a best case scenario over the next 10 years REGARDLESS if there is some form of civil war or not.....and there is a good chance that folks who believe in human liberty will have a section all to themselves.
You are welcome to keep the current Ponzi-system that you are so fond of....nobody intends to force you out of your socio-political slumber against your will, so sleep away...

Only 5% of the colonists actually took part in the 1st American Revolution of 1776.

No real substance, just more insults. If you call the simple questions I asked towards the beginning of this thread a knee-jerk argument, I think you make the evident point that all you are is board and in need of a hobby.
There are well more than 10% of the people in the U.S. that have concerns with the amount of Taxes they pay. Legal means are being followed and the political process that we have in place address many of these concerns. That's not at issue here because people are not organizing any revolt over this point. Why, because the standard of living here is not as bad as it would require for any sort of revolution to take shape.
Balkanization and civil war? Are you wanting to start up one of those now as well? You think that through your revolution/now civil war new Nations will form here? This goes right back to the fantasy I mentioned in each of my previous posts. We would have to lose a World War and be divided like Germany or something similar to South Africa or the Balfor Declaration. This is so speculative it brings us right back to the realm of fantasy I mentioned before.
You seem in love with the idea of revolution. You want to make changes, run for office. You don't need to live within some day-dream to give your life purpose. As you grow older and no revolution takes place you will look back and wonder why you wasted so much energy and time in the hopes that your Country falls to ruin.

Can we agree to stop using the word Revolt? Can we agree on Riot instead? Revolution is not at all likely. Where as something similar to mass rioting is.

No, it just emphasizes your inability to see the point...
Very simple....If you are for human liberty = GOOD GUYS
If you are for human sacrifice = BAD GUYS
The object is to use any justifiable method at ones disposal to make the bad guys quit enslaving good guys...get it?

What about the Obama's damn birth certificate issue, that would do it right there if that is proven to be fake and he was not eligible to be POTUS.

if its proven who will know or care ?
the gulf of tonkin incident has been proven to be a lie. And the Vietnam war is probably the most violatile episode in american history.
Yet you dont see former hippies in the streets protesting. They were bought out by the bankers
