Thomas Jefferson said citizens have the right to over throw the government, when it no longer represents the will of the people. "ARE WE THERE YET"?

"Thomas Jefferson said citizens have the right to over throw the government, when it no longer represents the will of the people..."

Is just like 'jury nullification' so may be legal and constitutional, but, but, how do you overcome the legions of armed supporters of a corrupt government that relatively speaking, is just getting noticed?

The US is not like so many countries where the people have lived in a pressure cooker for years if not centuries; this mess is just now starting, so it will take time I think, and one of the reasons is that way too many people are making a lot of money out of the economic system, and while they do so, what do they care! The rest that sort-of make it, are OK with it because they mostly come from worst situations.

Some strong signals were sent in Nov 06. And the losers cried and whined that the conservatives were at fault.

Typical. But, if you don't vote for change, you are only going to get more of the same.

Heck. Give the House Dems a chance. Pubbies have been in charge for 12 years and look at the state of affairs.

If the House Dems don't do any better, vote them out in 08.

There yet? I don't think America has the united will, but as military, it would present a dilema, would it not, considering which side of this issue our government is on?
