"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

I get a laugh out of all of these people who want a "revolution". The funny thing is that if they get one, it might not turn out the way they think it will. The White House is just laying the groundwork to control people for the upcoming election. Anybody who is anti-Obama will be labeled as a threat.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

So who is an extremist? The OWS, or the Tea Party? Or the dissipating threat of overseas religious extremists? What is worse the hated 'Patriot Act' or a deeper integration of intelligence and domestic psychological operations?

All the governments of the world and their supporters are blatantly wrong. Humanity will not function for a prolonged period of time unless it's fully unified globally under one language and one set of rules. The world "economy" is invisible. It doesn't exist physically and if people chose to they could immediately remove all debt. Everybody is all about greed these days. Nobody wants to help one another. In the US somebody can get stabbed on a sidewalk and bleed out and die because none of the dozens of passersby care enough to check that the unmoving lump on the sidewalk is okay.
We're sick animals. Sick in the head. The way the human species functions needs a complete and utter revision lest we wish to destroy ourselves. All violence could end today, if we wanted it.

All I can say is Gestapo!
Yes, it happened in Nazi Germany, and it is happening here. There are way too many parallels between them and us now. History is repeating itself as we speak, and our citizens are blind to it. They are drinking the kool aide, and it is slowly killing them. All I can say is I am glad I am aware, because when it hits full force I will be prepared.

In the U.S. Somebody can get stabbed and nobody will check on you? Do you even live in the U.S.? Jeez man I can't even walk down the street with my hands in my pockets without having people freak out and wonder what's in my pockets. Could you please tell me what state you are in? Because it sounds really care-free.
