Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution? - IBD - Investors.com

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.
People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"
Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.

Will this get talked about elsewhere in the media? Will it provoke draconian methods on the part of the ObamaNation?

 

[Joe Williams]

The fact that it's being talked about at all in a mainstream business publication is telling, and frightening.

Mainstream, everyday Americans are losing hope that our government can be reclaimed and forced back into compliance with the laws that give it legitimacy.

I am not advocating a revolution. Just pointing out a well respected business journal is seeing signs.

This.


But this thread is being watched. Be very careful where it treads.

Wow...just proves that people are thinking. The thoughts are small now, but they are growing.

 

[John Galt]

" ... 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - Declaration of Independence

Worth re-reading. It's simple, we don't need a Revolution, just a return to the Constitution!

Seeing signs? Or planting the seed? Revolution is not the answer. No matter what a publication may infer. The civil war was started because someone decided to shoot. Even then, all avenues had not been addressed.
I would like to believe that if the North and South both had known what a nightmare they were creating, they would have tried harder to come to a peaceful solution.

"Comittees of Correspondence"

Thought provoking.. Especially from a well respected main stream source.

When those who influence Business and Commerce in this country begin to take notice of the ugly mood of the "average" person, it's time to prepare for unrest.
The Colonists knew that Revolution was inevitable when businessmen of the day, like Paul Revere, (Silversmith), Ben Franklin, (Publisher) and Thomas Paine, (Manufacturer), began to decry the Political situation of the Colonies.
The last thing that we need is a second Revolution, but if the Country stays on the course that it is now following I'm afraid we may find ourselves forced to decide between our freedoms, or submitting to a "Nanny State" where where our actions are directed from cradle to grave by a Socialist Government.
Just my

I don't believe they are trying to create. They simply point out the many things Obama has done to destroy our way of life in this country. They seem fearful of how much further he is going to go down that path. You would also have to be blind to not see the rising level of anger amongst a large portion of the populace.

Obama has done many things many people (including myself) disagree with. I don't deny that. An overzealous figurehead can certainly make life difficult for us all. But, as long as we have the Constitution, we have the means to correct the mistakes.
I see the rising level of anger. I understand it. What matters is how we apply it. Getting angry enough to commit acts of violence is counter-productive. Getting angry enough to become involved, and make a political stand is commendable.

Thank the Founders that they created, and those who came before us, defended and protected our right to revolution every two years and every 4 years and every 6 years.

The revolution of the BALLOT box.

We who are like minded are reeling from the effects of the last revolutionary change in November of 2008. Our chance to change it, if there are enough of us, is this coming November.

I guess we will find out if there are enough of us this in November....

Amen, brother! We'll take to the streets when it's time to vote!
We need to be vigilant, and remind the parties that we want things corrected. We need to put the right people in office, even if it means upsetting those who believe they have earned the right to be there.
If they don't hand us the correct candidate, we need to supply one for them.

 

[sloughfoot]

And if there are not enough of us, are you not willing to accept the voice of the majority?

Maybe our time is past. Maybe we have allowed everything that we treasure to slip away. I have been as apathetic as everyone else, so I am not pointing fingers. But if the majority really does like what is happening, what are we to do?

I knew the names, Black Panther, SDS, Weather Underground, AIM, Bill Ayres, many others in the late 60's and early 70's. As an EOD soldier, I read the FBI reports, I actually defused some of their devices all over the midwest.

When I got out of the Army, I concentrated on getting married, having children, starting a career.

These other folks never let their lives get in the way of the "Revolution". They are now in control of this country.. There was a Beatles song about it. I liked the beat, I was too young or naive or stoned to understand the message.

We will find out soon if there is still enough of us left to take it back.

God help us if not.

Who's running that will make a differance? 99 percent of them are all the same, I wish we had someone we could believe in,Do you really think a Republician President and Congress,plus house would really make a difference? I think we'll get one,but I dont see things changing.They'll be bought and paid for too. Time will tell.

Government and Cancer

Our government is like a cancer in a body. You cut out the cancer and leave the good parts of the body or government. The operation starts in November!!

 

[djl02]

talking about November,I tell you another thing that scares me.I would have thought ,there would have been a big turn out in the Primaries,and turned out, a really low number of voters showed up. The way things were going,I would have bet a record turn out. Wrong

You cannot be serious? The same ones running the left, are the sameones spear point of the GOP party, NeoCons = Trotskist/Communist.


This november will come, undoubtled the blue left will get a heat, but the red neocons who are doing much to bring about Communism will certainly gain more power.

And then the average "rocket scientist" American, will be left wonder a year later "wut happen..."

I see no hope until Americans look at the the communist, and those "undocumented people of the left" playing republicans, and give justice to America.
