However, I do not think i...You make a great point. However, I do not think it is a lack of wanting to do something about this. There are a few factors that are keeping Real Americans from taking action.<br /><br />First, there is not leadership. Where is George Washington when you need him? Remember, the Revolutionary war fighters had the backing of a congress, with great minds and a document outlining what was needed to be done, and most of all, great leaders to believe in. Second, way back then, though Britain was considered a superpower compared to us, we still had much equal weapons. Their men had muskets, we had muskets. Maybe they had a cannon or two or more, and maybe we had one or none. On the battlefield, Britain had the advantage, but we at least had a fighting chance. <br /><br />Today, we have no leaders, no guidance and no backing. Who forms us up? Who leads us to action? Good leaders are no where and they are not made easily. Anyone who might make a good leader would NOT want the job. Even among the good hearted, getting enough men together to agree on anything is impossible, much less agreeing on who should lead us, and that would be if there were optional leaders.<br /><br />Finally, the fight is not the same. We have slightly better weapons than muskets, but they have INSANE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. I can only think of events like Galipoli, where the battle would be a mass suicide with absolutely no impact on winning. We could round up a hundred thousand men, and be easily taken down. <br /><br />The jihad overseas has very well armed men with weapons way better than We The People are allowed to have, and they have a violent mindset of do or die, and they are getting slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, yet our great military has only lost a few thousand (Not negating our brave men who died, just comparing the numbers). At home, our military would be convinced we are a nutjob anarchy militia group and would easily take us out.<br /><br />Americans are ready to fight, but all we have left is the soap box and the ballot box. The cartridge box is pretty much a non-option. <br /><br />We need a great leader, and none exists. Any that pop up get villified and the people seem to accept this and quit backing this person. <br /><br />I would love to see a NEW hope and change...back to what our Founding Fathers envisioned for us. But at this point, nothing can be done. Secrets are no longer kept our current king over us has seen to it that anyone who even talks of such things is taken out, either ridiculed and marginalized by the all willing Goebbels propaganda machine (MSM). <br /><br />Hell, it took the combined efforts of many countries, billions of dollars and millions of men, with the life lost count in the millions as well to unseat Hitler. And that was easy compared to the task we would need to undertake to repeat that. <br /><br />At this point, even the toughest of us has figured out that it is easier to try and cope and get along. Maybe, just maybe, if a great leader with great backing can rise up, we can take action, until then, we have no backing, no coordination, no network...nothing. It would be suicide with the end note of our lives as one of a disgraced traitor, despite the fact that all of us are more AMERICAN than the person in the oval office. How sad. We have only ourselves to blame. All of us saw this coming and could have nipped it in the bud when it was easy...now, it's greater than all of us.sdkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144897729994333372noreply@blogger.com
