Pollster: Americans Are “Pre-Revolutionary”
Vision To America ^ | Monday, August 8, 2011 | unknown

Posted on 08/08/2011 11:51:03 AM PDT by maddog55

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”.

when those classes are talented, experienced, and successful enough to quote chapter and verse on how government “screwed the pooch” it’s kinda tough to shift the blame onto...those classes.

My idea of patriotism is ‘defend the constitution’.

More than anything else, the target for cloward and piven is the COTUS.

Progressives want to rule over us, and the COTUS simply stands in their way. The destruction of our society is intentional.

If you wish to be a free citizen, you’ll defend your constitution. If you wish to be a servant, you won’t.

The progressives have left us with only those two choices. There are no other choices.(Though, I suppose death is somewhere in the mix)

You are right. Someone’s using this to make a political point.

And basically saying that if you are peeved in a run-down economy...you ought to do some violence or fire-bombing.

I would hope that cooler and saner heads will rule.

I tried to post an article from infowars with the same title and poll results but it would not post. Got a message that infowars articles not accepted or wanted at FR. I did not know infowars was banned here, so I am curious as to why? As someone stated in this thread infowars is all tinfoil hat stuff, ok maybe that is why.

I respect FR and Jim and the reason why may help shape my thinking on infowars, I do read some articles there as this one that was linked from Drudgereports.

I've taken my muzzle off. I don't care that the psycho left calls anyone racist for criticizing the commie in the White House. He destroyed NASA, destroyed the economy, destroyed the American Military, destroyed the family unit, the list goes on...

I've been saying the last week, that we will enter into the Second Great Depression followed by the Second American Revolution.

If you study history you will see there are very basic trends. Leadership by tyranny is only tolerated by the psycho drugged up left who will defend Obama no matter what.

And these are the grifters who are on welfare, medicare, food stamps, ect... I believe if you get "entitlements" you lose your right to vote, period end of story.

Are you sure that the person that hit you with the car did it by accident?

Are we Pre-Revolutionary? Well, Duh. . .

Obama now knows the military will Not fire on armed American Patriots. November 6, 2012 seems so far away. Yes, we'll wait - unless they draw first blood - or come after our guns.

[You never read about how Carlos Hathcock and his spotter pinned down an entire company of NVA for more than a day?

Now THAT is American exceptionalism! ]

Point taken, but we are discussing hypotheticals, what things will look like here in the US of A. I don’t see standing armies and set piece engagements, just a continuous draining hit and run affair for a decade or more. More than courage, that takes plain stamina.

well I considered your question for a while, but discarded it after I read a detective’s report on her when I sued her insurance company. As far as i know she wasnt malicious, just an ignoramus.

I got one arrested in June for the charge of felony wanton endangerment and managed to get another on video holding a firearm, which was a no no since he is a convicted drug dealer with a felony conviction.

Agree. Nothing will lose us support faster than Tea Party rallies turning into inciting riots, inciting violence and innocent victims caught in the cross fire. If mob rule on the right could enter the Capital Building ...you can be assured that Eric Holder and President Obama are supporting this type of intimidation.

[The left has their perfect “proxy army” in the urban youths that have been stampeded into “beat whitey” nights, etc.

They are perfect because they can be protected by the state without the state being implicated in their violence.]

Exactly. Also undocumented illegals who run over someone and then move elsewhere without a trace. And narchist student rioters. etc. You get my drift, this is a new form of civil war, hidden in broad daylight.
