With Americans losing all their rights, how long before the True Americans revolt and demand a change?

Question

Leaders not listening to its citizens, Citizens sitting back letting the government provide for them, What will it take to get the American citizens to care about our countries future...and present?

Answer 1

As a nation, we are far too lazy and complacent to do what we need to secure a safe, prosperous life for our future generations. We destroy forests and water supplies. We trash our environment on every level. We rip God from every corner of our lives.

So much of America is doing well. We eat well, we drive well, we play well. We ignore the story between the lines and go on about our merry way, as a rule.

This is not to say that we don't have people with remarkable insight, trying to spur us all. I am thankful for those people, who are much more driven than the lot of us.

May God grant us all peace, and compassion for all mankind.

Answer 2

There are many that have started civil disobedience. Many are locked up for speaking out. We have a Republic and not a democracy which destroys freedom. The people are to have the last say. It is done with your most powerful vote which is as a juror. No matter what law is allegedly broken the juror has the power to rule on both, the person that's on trial as well as the law. With this a juror can veto any law that was ever passed by legislation or executive order by the president. Most judges will not give this jury instruction because than it makes them powerless and they can than only be a referee that will cry like a little girl. Next time you are in a municipal court ask the judge is the court you are in a constitutional court? Ask for a trial by a jury. If the judge says no. Than ask him or her when was the constitution the part that says you have that right, when has it been repealed? So the next time you are asked to be on jury duty look at it as an honor. This is where the true power of We the People is reserved.

What's the difference between an American and a True American. I was born in the U.S.of A., so I'm about as true an American as it gets.

It's a democracy, remember? Government for the people, by the people? That means lots and lots and lots of different people and just as many different ideas....not all of them agreeing with YOU or me, for that matter.

The great thing is, we live in a country where we are free to disagree with the government and work to change things....the tough part is that at any given time, some folks will agree with the government and disagree with you or agree with you and agree with the government or whatever....

I agree that it's wrong for the government to provide everything...on the other hand, I agree that there are some seriously needy folks in our country.....it is up to us, the citizens to help our neighbors out. But if we do not do our neighborly duty, then I can see where it is good and beneficial for the government to be able to step in and help.

I will not join in your revolt.

Answer 4

I don't think we will. Look at how many Americans gleefully bought into Bush's bullshit. The house of cards keeps flaking away and still a hardcore (albeit smaller) constituency rabidly supports his insanity. The craziest part is how many jumped on the Bush bandwagon on the outset without first asking the HARD questions. Of course most of them have backed away NOW.

Anyway, we've just become way too complacent, and just as willfully ignorant as the guy in the Big Chair. We want to be spoonfed. Too many of us think patriotism means stifling dissent when in fact the opposite is true. We are sheep, hear us ba-a-a-aaa--aaa...

And to those deluding themselves into thinking everything is hunky-dory: yes this is an outstanding nation, and no not ALL of our rights have been eroded-- but that only remains true as long as we are vigilant. The moment a majority says "Oh, things are okay and there will never be any problem" is exactly the moment the trouble starts. Telling the true patriots to "love it or leave it" is disingenuous. It's those of us who dearly love this nation that dare speak up and out so that it stays on course.

Answer 5

In order for you to revolt against something, you have to be aware of a problem, but in society today, people just let things go by. Many things are permitted by open forum because few people get involved unless some hell-raiser whips them into action. Have you written your congressman about any issue? Have you done anything to demand a change and encouraged others to do the same? One of my friends has moaned about government for years and doesn't even bother to vote with the idea that his vote would be meaningless. It is this apathy that will prevent any big change in the government. Many people have a tunnel vision in which outside issues that don't affect them are not seen, understood or even worried about. Yes, we lose rights, but how many people are directly affected by eavesdropping or spying...because most feel that it is for only a few suspicious people and that they themselves are not one of them. Tourism in America is surely declining because of the abrasive manner the travelers are screened and the difficulty of obtaining visas...but surely terrorists know of countless ways to enter and smuggle whatever they want into the country. If we can't stop drugs and illegal immigrants, how can we stop terrorists? Homeland Security was given sweeping powers to safeguard the nation and cried wolf often to justify their being and a substantial budget...but wait...isn't it the job that should be done by the FBI so it seems more redundancy, higher taxes, fewer rights and more prying into the lives of loyal Americans. We give away billions in helping to maintain petty dictators with ill-thought concepts of how or where the money will be used...but does the average person know or care? They accept it. The US is keen on human rights and faults China for being harsh with protestors...but in turn reacted strongly when people protested the Vietnam war at Kent State. We have accepted domination and now follow like meek lambs. Many leaders of protests find themselves derided by the media (likely at the encouragement of undisclosed sources near the seats of power). Few people have the courage, strength and the money to battle with the entrenched political forces.

Answer 6

The economy is in great shape. America is still the world's only superpower. We have more freedoms than any other country on earth.

Why else would we be having all these issues with illegals? If it was so bad here, wouldn't Mexico and Canada be fighting an endless stream of illegals from here?

Please move to North Korea or Iran, where your rights are maintained the way you like them.

Answer 7

It will take as long as it takes, if ever, for you to actually convince other (non-True?) Americans that your point of view is correct and that everyone should vote accordingly. Once you have convinced a majority of such individuals, the change that you so fervently desire will occur, and without a revolt even. Imagine that.

Answer 8

listen the government is basically a kid with a magnifying glass while we are the ants. they dont really give a crap about the people just the money that they get and looking all powerful(most of them anyway). sadly the ones who do care are pretty much unknown because they dont lie to make their way to the top.

Answer 9

I give this nation 2 years at the most. Underlying our everyday frustrations is our fight or flight mechanism that is one day going to bring the citizens to the point of "fighting back."

Answer 10

We revolt in the voting booths. November 2008 is the next revolution.
