Ballot Box… Soap Box… Cartridge Box?
It seems pretty clear that there are a lot of politicians who will not be satisfied until America is destroyed. Voting doesn't seem to accomplish anything because the average voter is a moron. How else can you explain that our candidates have been Bush, Romney, Gore, Kerry, McCain and Obama over the past 4 cycles?
The Founding Fathers suffered the insults of the crown as long as they were tolerable - then they revolted. They didn't revolt by saying, "Pretty please, may I keep what I've earned?" They did it by shooting the enemy.
I've often wondered what the most effective means of revolt against our current (unconstitutional) government might be. Is it unarmed protests like the ones to block buses full of criminal aliens in Kalifornia? Is it armed obstruction of the sort that took place at the Bundy ranch? (You didn't think the Feds backed down because they were being NICE, did you?) Or is to going on the offensive - perhaps a few hundred sniper teams taking out filthy politicians across the Country? One thing the Virginia area snipers taught us was that even two dimwits can terrorize a substantial part of the Country by shooting from inside a car. What would the politicians do? Would it be a successful means of forcing a return to Constitutional values?
I know many here are "anti-violence". They don't have a problem with the government repeatedly raping them. And women especially seem to be willing to give up freedom for the illusion of safety. But consider: Everything you love about our government as it was founded first came out of bloody revolution. What are the alternatives?

Another reason I say this is because what is the one area of society liberals have focused on so hard over the past 50-60 years: education. They woke up during the great rebellion of the 60's and realized (beginning with the liberal college campuses) that if they could get people to focus on the short-term (instant gratification via sex, drugs, and music), they could get them moving down a path where they would be easily manipulated through either misinformation or sheer ignorance. And they have been perpetuating those tactics ever since.
Do I believe that an armed rebellion is going to solve the problem? Nope. I think it is going to take an economic collapse worse than the Great Depression - something that forces people to completely re-evaluate not only their lives, but their principles. And something that will be disastrous enough that it forces wholesale political change. The sad thing is that liberal policies are their own worst enemy. The liberal state is based on self-destructive principles that leave them grasping for the next silver bullet, when the reality is that the best thing they could have done was to drop the gun in the first place.
I like this quote from "Star Wars": "The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." -- Princess Leia
Seriously - it's a tactic used by "A" anarchists, communist rabble rousers, and politicians with nothing to lose.
Know what makes me laugh? Atlas was written by a woman. Pretty darned brilliant one. And here's this guy on a site dedicated to Ayn, her book, and the movie - and he slams wonmen as being sub-human sheep.
Rational? Not even. Objectivist? Give me a break. His position is so illogical it goes beyond insane - it's Anti-sane.
And I don't know why I keep getting sucked up oint his psychosis...
And I have no idea why you're even on this post!!! ;-)
Well, he did get a rise with his little comment. The post has been flagged. (and not for misspelling my name, either...)
One idea that seemed to have some merit was that a state that was ready to let women vote might have a generally overall different political attitude - one more conducive to running deficits, the idea being that it was something in the political air, that led to deficits and women getting the vote. Unfortunately, that hypothesis got shot all to hell when the remained of states - including those opposed to women voting - were forced by the 19th Amendment to allow them to vote. Whatever hypothetical "Kool-Aid" the other states were drinking surely was not present in those states - and yet, upon women getting the vote, deficits erupted.
I do agree that pussified men probably are ultimately to blame. Had they been sensible and refused to allow women to vote, most of the major political and economic problems we currently face would not exist That makes Woodrow Wilson "the guiltiest man in the room". He presided over the passage of the 19th Amendment. (He's also the bastard who enslaved us to the Federal Reserve.)
