You have touched on my biggest fear, more George Bush. I would definitely be setting in front of the white house with my sign. As far as an armed rebellion I do not think it would work in this country because the military has been allowed to become to strong. They have to many weapons of mass destruction. Civil disobedience was the way that the war in Vietnam came down and yes some had to die. They were hero's in my book. So civil disobedience would be the way to stop this from happening.

You cannot raise arms against the United States government. It is a serious crime, it is severely punished. Don't even consider it. The government is very well armed and it will successfully defend itself against any rebellion. You can't even advocate taking up arms aginst the government.

Mr. Bush will leave office at the end of his term. If he actually tried to remain in power, it is almost certain courts would reject his claim, and, more importantly, the Army would, too.

I understand your frustration, but common sense and the law both require that you focus your energy in lawful channels.

In the scenario you cite he would be acting illegally. Without the backing of the military he probably wouldn't stand a chance to get away with something like that, but if open rebellion were necessary to defend the Constitution then it would be everyone's patriotiic duty to do so.

You can't fool me with a fancy screen name, Attorney General Gonzales. I know you're just trying to put together a list for when Bush cancels the election.

We have a system of checks and balances so that won't happen. If you look at other countries who did not have our system, it was whoever controlled the Military would be the one in power. Makes sense. A rebellion would be put down immediately.

I think the only way to get a large enough rebellion is if it hit every American hard in the pocket book. His Pearl Harbor event it wearing off.

Yes, if things got bad enough, we would have to go about it the hard way. By the way, they did in essence cancel the elections by rigging them, and they plan to do it again.

The constitution tells us to do what you are saying. Be careful about postings like this, because we are in a time of war.

Dumb question - no need for answer as it is like asking if we would cooperate with aliens if they landed. Get a life before it is too late.
