As we approach July 4, 2013, is America in a pre-revolutionary state? Are we headed for a Tahrir Square of our own with the attendant mammoth social turmoil, possibly even violence.

I agree the people who are angry have yo much to lose I see nothing happening.
One there is a leadership vacuum. Two the population has no stomach for revolution in its true sense. Lastly there are not the numbers to wage the fight.

Numbers? ... Well, if I keep getting calls from area code 354 (354 366 8166), a code which is not valid, then perhaps the numbers are not right for action?

All it will take is another Ruby Ridge or a Waco event.

It will be peaceful at first, but as I had posted, “if push comes to shove, it could very well end up being violent.”

I’ve just read again A visitor from the Past by Thelan Paulk a worthy read on this second day of July in the Year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 2013 in the place known locally as Happy Valley in the Land formerly known as the United States of America—a Christian nation-a religious and moral people. Thelan Paulk asked several years ago a question that grows more worthy of consideration by the Patriot every day of the Obamanation.

That means that if Revere was alive today, he would use social media. Like it or not, that is how the so-called “Arab spring” started, with social media.

We are living in a tech age.

I don’t think so. Ruby Ridge and Waco was poo poo’d by the media and lies were told to justify it.

All they have to do is call someone a pedophile or an illegal arms dealer and it’s done. God forbid they label them a ‘domestic racist terrorist’ and no one will bat an eye.

A MODERN AMERICAN DECLARATION OF LIBERTY

Read the modern list of grievances, then compare them to 1776, and decide.

It is only a matter of time and that time is much nearer than most people think.

The old news media is going into that “good night”.

The “new media” is the new MSM.

Revolution? Are people wondering whether it is time to overturn our social and economic structures? Who in our society wants to do that? Hedge fund managers? Bankers? Corporate interests? Real revolutions are the product of people who feel they have nothing to lose. "Conservative revolution" is an oxymoron.

Look around and ask yourselves who in our society will support a violent overthrow of our government and who will oppose it.

Revolution are also peaceful. What took place in Eastern Europe is proof of that.

Bring back US manufacturing, and return American jobs.

In a global economy, the only way to bring home jobs is to create an environmet where the cost to produce and deliver goods in the US is less than that to create and deliver goods overseas.

If there is not a party currently supporting such policies, then Sarah Palin and other patriotic Americans should start one.

Sarah Palin had her chance in 2012 to make a difference. She flirted with a run, teased her supporters, but in the end she passed. While she may have some die hard supporters, she no longer has the political clout she once ppocessed. A Sarah Palin 3rd party would likely draw less then 1%-2% support, if that.

Buy American.

Honestly, I have never understood what this means in a global economy. If I buy a Volkswagon built in Chattanooga rather then a GM built in Mexico am I buying American? In a global economy, how do you buy American? Based on final product assembly or a percentage of origin of components? At the end of the day I will always choose to spend my money on that which gives me the greatest value. Anything else just rings hollow to me.

I have been hearing that saw for 20 years. Sorry, as long as there is boobs, beer and Sports Center there will be no revolution.
