Pollster: Americans Are “Pre-Revolutionary”

Amidst riots in central Europe that have now spread to London and a debt downgrade that threatens to plunge the United States into a double-dip recession, Americans’ lack of confidence in their leadership is so crippled that they are now “pre-revolutionary,” according to pollster Pat Caddell.

A new Rasmussen poll shows that just 17 per cent of Americans believe that the U.S. government has the consent of the governed, an all time low. This dovetails with a record low for Congress’ approval rating, which stands at a paltry 6 per cent, while 46 per cent of Americans think most members of Congress are corrupt, with just 29% believing otherwise.

“The number of voters who feel the government has the consent of the governed – a foundational principle, contained in the Declaration of Independence – is down from 23% in early May and has fallen to its lowest level measured yet,” according to Rasmussen.

The poll was conducted before Friday’s U.S. debt downgrade, indicating that the figures could be even more dire in the aftermath of what some analysts believe is a precursor to a new great depression.

The results of this survey indicate that Americans are now “pre-revolutionary” says pollster Pat Caddell, who described the outcome of the poll as “unprecedented”.

This conclusion follows Caddell’s observation last November that “a sea of anger is churning” amongst Americans who “want to take their country back” and that the nation stood on the brink of a “pre-revolutionary moment”.

Works for me... when do we start?

Amidst riots in central Europe that have now spread to London

I thought the London riots were in response to the police shooting of a suspected gang member?

... Americans’ lack of confidence in their leadership is so crippled that they are now “pre-revolutionary.

Our lack of confidence in our leadership is crippled? That doesn't make sense.

Remember Lexington green didn’t turn out too well for the patriots.

Just give me a week’s notice so I can get more ammo and supplies. My family and I will go to the mountain, block the roads and dare the clown prince’s minions to approach.

...and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - DOI, 1776

Our forefathers are telling us what to do.

Agree, take out “lack of” and it makes more sense but I got the gist of it. I’m not an English major which for writing is more or less an opinion.

[Uncle Miltie]

I’m ready. Full stocks on hand, totally mobile, and ready to do what is necessary to return the constitution and government to the people from the Supremes, The One and the Failed Congresses.

So your idea of patriotism is “run and hide?”

I don’t see much in the way of violent revolution, but I do see a lot of noncompliance and noncooperation with government. Stop lights only work if people cooperate.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

All the more reason to start ramping up VIPR, federal SWAT teams, and finishing the federalization of local and state police forces.

Darn. Why couldn’t have happened earlier? Now I’m too old, too fat and too married.

Americans’ lack of confidence in their leadership is so crippled that they are now “pre-revolutionary,”...

But it won't be like the Euro-weenies.....

If you take a longer prospective Lexington Green worked out quite well for the patriots until 2008.

Not to mention the free ride out of town on a poorly trimmed pole.

I just released a book titled “Surviving Civil War II” that looks at what might develop. The conclusions you come to when you research something like this is that we are already in a Civil War but it won’t look like CWI in large part because of the Internet which will be new bloodless territory. This war is again over slavery, but in this case it is debt bondage of the working class and their young. The regime can’t count on the military, so they use proxy armies of illegals, union brownshirts, anarchists and criminals. Big propaganda war already in the media and Internet.
