If you keep this up you’re going to get Olberman’s worst person in the world honor again. :)

I’m afraid the present government would never relinquish it’s power by peaceful means.

Hopefully, Oberman will read and report on this.

I have been ready to march on Washington for months. In my memory, I recall the effective bottle-necking of the city by farmers during Carter's time.

My air-miles and I are ready to go!

Good start! I would love to see several million Americans put their Federal taxes in a “lock box” either with a lawyer or a bank - refuse to pay anymore federal taxes until the current crop of tax cheats have been removed and the fiefdoms of Barny Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer to name a few, have been removed from this government. Clean out the State Department and remove Erick Holder from his position as chief sheriff, he is not doing his job, he is working for Obama only.

First thing it would do is scare the crap of all the politicians. Could you imagine a speaker whipping the crowd into a frenzy? “They are not our rulers, they’re our servants! We shouldn’t fear them, they should fear us!”

Crowd stomps and chants “Fear us! Fear Us!”

Windows rattle. Chandeleirs sway. Bureaucrats huddle in basements in fear, aides cry in the corner.

“They do not own us. We will no longer remain silent. We shall be heard!”

It would be glorious. I expect the politicians would all be taking the day off. It would have to be on a weekday, the media would be able to ignore us completely on weekends.

It must be a very long event, a short rally will not cut it.

Forget the park or the mall, we will pack the entire federal district if we had millions. For one day, at least, we would own DC.

and *sigh* MSNBC anchors making sexual jokes.
and a paragraph about it would appear in the NY Times on page B-7.

IMO.

Maybe a 5-million gun-owner March on DC would be in order if things get bad enough., I wonder if the media would ignore it?

Half of the govt actively desires more socialism, whether or not they can lucidly express that thought in English.

A quarter don’t give a damn, and haven’t given it more than a passing thought.

A quarter care about the founding vision of the USA, the Constitution, etc.

If a million of that last group actually marched on Washington, the MSM and the liberal elite would paint them as insane racist yahoos. A million crazy Sarah Palins.

That’s what we’re up against. I’m not optimistic.
