That is a scene with people wearing the mask of “Guy Fox” (his name), and the movie is “V for Vendetta” (fiction but with some basis in past events, but a fictional film about future ones) IIRC, he *ahem*, disrupted the British Parliment. You can Google him...

It's when we're *literally* at their doorsteps (of our leaders' private residences) that we'll start to get attention.

And it wouldn't hurt to show up with tar, feathers and a railroad rail.

On 11/4/08 all things changed - nothing will ever be the same. Obama & the Left hopes we will be content to continue faxing, e-mailing, calling, and spending our money in D.C. for rallies. It means they can go on ignoring us.

We’ve long since past the time for civil disobedience (of a non-violent nature). However, folks like Glenn Beck keep warning conservatives not to do anything but the SOP. Continuing to do the same things in light of a changed world is naive. When will conservatives wake up to the realization that we aren’t just “in a cycle.”

Try “Guy Fawkes” instead.

Semper fidelis to the United States Constitution......


When we have a citizens , groups who have no regard, nor respect, who are unwilling to defend, to uphold, to protect the Constitution of the United States of America, then ? all those patriots who fight, died, and paid with their blood to attain those rights in that sacred document, all of the veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice, all the resources dedicated to defend and protect this country, it's people, that sacred document, have all been done in vain.

A Match is well in order, on the day the new Congress is seated, and there should be Tea Partys all week long.

I believe you've already been told that the picture is from "V for Vendetta" and that the crowd is wearing Guy Fawkes' masks. This is the assembled populace, marching on Parliament on November 5th -- one year exactly after hearing this speech on their radio:

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday. I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now High Chancellor, Adam Sutler.

He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten.

More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot. -- V for Vendetta

The name is Guy Fawkes, the leader of the 'Gunpowder Plot' to blow up Parliament. Interesting fellow.

civil uprising? seriously? Nah...the Left would be fine with some folks showing up to spend money in DC. It’s another opportunity to ignore them & move on with their radical lameduck session.

JouleZ, I understand, I have been there, too. As the author of the piece in reference, I can tell you that the others did work to a degree.

We will reveal the whole plan in a few days to weeks. It is not a rally, it is a protest.

When a righteous man falls 7 times, God is right there to pick him back up and encourages him to go on and fight on.

Yes, the government is a bunch of lame brain deaf instigators who do not listen to the voice of " THE PEOPLE " ...... and so, you are correct.
But, the voice of * THE PEOPLE * will not be silenced never more.
It does not matter, so to speak, that the government refuses to listen, because our advocate is in heaven.
God hears the voice of " THE PEOPLE " .....
The nation hears the voice of " THE PEOPLE " ....
Don't let these silly bastards get you down, because that is exactly , and just what you want you to do, is to give up and lose hope.......

SEMPER FIDELIS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION !
Our advocate is on Heaven.
