Oh, yes, the masses will rise to the occasion. Did the masses rise to the occasion when the gold standard was abandoned? How about the silver standard? That was the government's way of controlling and hording precious metals. It also made the dollar worth nothing. What about the implementation of the income tax? No one rose then.
Did the individual citizens of their respective states balk when state governments relinquished their control to the federal government? No. What about all of the sideline taxes (gas, cigarettes, alcohol, etc...)?
By the way, eminent domain has been an issue for years. Did the nation rise up against the Supreme Court? No. How about the people within the affected communities/states? Hmmm...People gripe about governmental policies/laws that threaten their liberty but they won't even take the time to telephone or write to their representatives.
The only real statesman is Ron Paul. As far as established (corrupt) politicians are concerned, Representative Paul is radioactive. Read his weekly alerts on his web page. You will see for yourself that he is truly devoted to the Republic.
The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is suicide as opposed to terminal illness.

The grass roots movement doesn't have a political axe to grind.

Thanks to the internet there's allot of discussion that is moving toward rectifying abuse of eminent domain. As to other histories you mentioned, they were all before widespread Internet.
Despite a severely biased MSM amid shrieking celebrities the move towards honesty elected George W. Bush President. Of course, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are credited too, aided by the Internet.

Ron Paul is an idiot. He won't even support defending the Nation.
