The thing is Iv learned during my time on this forum is that people tend to talk alot. On a forum it seems to be that they are somehow granted the commander with the speaker and everybody else must actually do the bidding for them. I tell ya right now that sitting behind a computer screen insisting or predicting some rebellion day in and day out will not add to action.

I believe this is happening because it was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. The Dems just happen to be in power at the moment.
This is a lashout against oppression and tyranny, and the people are seriously getting fed up with it. Those that try to turn this into some kind of partisan thing I think are gravely mistaken. It may appear that way at the moment, but I don't really think it is. Incidents are just going to increase, and in a more general sense.
The rise of local militias, the states filing suits and sovereign legislation, the anarchist talk all over the place, incidents like the Joe Stack attack on the IRS, are all testament to this.
I predict one of these days a group of people is going to try and descend upon the federal government, armed with guns. And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it came from within the military itself. Because sending them to die under false pretenses gives them every damn reason. We've got madmen and criminals controlling the big red button.
Edit: and btw, Doc, thanks for telling like it is.

If your implication is that the great "Shadow Government" is behind every ill in the world, that's all well and good... I happen to agree. However, the puppets in our government are the moving targets between the citizenry and The Powers That Be.
Who ELSE are we supposed to assail with our discontent?
Of COURSE we should respond directly to the provocations offered by way of "Democrat & Republican" facade. I agree that the two-party system is a vaudeville routine, a distraction; but we have to respond to SOMETHING, wouldn't you agree?
In this case, TPTB are offering up the Dems as the sacrificial lambs, burned on a pyre that is fueled by the shredded U.S. Constitution.

I don't agree. Simple logic dictates the military, which is a self-purposed tool of the government, will never turn on it's master

It didn't seem to work.
It worked fine...just not for everyone.
Welcome to a republic...not everyone is heard..just the majority of the representitives.

Hmmmm, if I remember correctly these a**holes were overwhelmed with emails, phone calls, letters from their constituents saying VOTE NO, but that didn't seem to matter to them and they voted Yes anyway.

those unwilling to accept change will try everyway to force the rest of the country to accept their views. Not unlike the terrorists in Iraq.

If backlash is truly that bad, maybe the Democrats should have never even passed the Healthcare Bill. Maybe they should have taken a hint that there might be a sizable part of the population that didn't want it - or at least didn't want it right now.
