During a revolution, everyone will be conservative if they want to live.
The 47% appears again. Can we replace "some of the people, all of the time" with "47% of the people, all of the time"?
Now that's a hoot!
Revolutions rarely end well, ours being the sole exception, so far.
For the low information voters reading this, that was the first American revolution...against Great Britain.

Saw a promo for a tv program about the fact that 10% of Presidents have been assassinated.
Problem is, 1/3 of us will be having a revolution against corrupt, tyrannical Washington politicians, and another 1/3 will be staging their revolution against capitalists, CEO’s and bankers.
The young in this country and europe have nothing to gain by propping up the current order. They will be the ones to revolt, but only after a while, when it becomes obvious they have nothing to gain keeping the current order.
Here’s a slightly different perspective.....an “attitude study” was made by historians of the opinions of the American populace just prior to the American Revolution. IIRC, at that time ~1/3 were actively for revolution, ~1/3 were diehard crown loyalists, and the rest didn’t care one way or the other. A figure of 29% who “expect a revolution” is awful close to 33%. Perhaps our “masters” should think about that for a minute (or longer).
One man’s opinion. Nothing more.
29%?????
That’s about the % that started and won the 1st revolution. Our only difficulty is in finding men of the caliber of Geo Washington and the other Founders....
Obama and the criminal Dems are pushing that % up with each and every scandal being revealed each day.
Down the Donks!
Just one person’s opinion.
Reads like another frustrated lunatic libertarian who can’t understand why guillotines aren’t rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Revolutions aren’t something that comes out of Cracker Jack box. It took the founders 25 years - from 1750 to 1775 - to organize and find leadership before taking on King George.
His reading of the current situation and the people on both sides are borderline goofy, IMO. He took a shot at the barn wall and missed.
