So you would prefer anarchy, unrest? This is why your not in charge. Should you start something, you would find out exactly what I did for the U.S. when I served my time.

Good question, terrible explanation. Actually the question wasn't fantastic either.
First off, nobody cares enough about the JFK issue to instigate a coup, especially not when the entirety of the administration has been changed since then.
Next up. The complaints, as made evident by a rep win in the last full election and a close race in the last midterms do not represent a vast majority as would be needed for a peaceful coup. If you had a good 75% of the population decrying the administration and the administration rigging or postponing elections (more so) then a coup may well be entirely in order. Heck, maybe the EU will have its army set up by then and we can go remove the despots and install democracy. UNtil then, however, there's no problem that couldn't be fixed by educating the masses a smidgeon.

There is a little thing called treason, and you would undoubtedly be sent to prison, or if it is bad enough, condemned to death. I think a revolt with the intent of overthrowing the government would classify as a capital punishment offense. Complaining about the government won't solve anything. You need to get off your lazy duffs and vote for a candidate you think will make a difference.
If you still have your little heart set on a revolt, I want front row seats to the execution.

Hello this is not central Africa. We start having a revolution when we are not happy, then when your revolt is successful, those that do not like your way will revolt against you. Revolution does not make a lasting government, or a strong country. Name one country that has revolutions that also has a great economy, free people, and the other benefits we have in America. Our poverty level lives twice as good as most countries middle class!

1. The JFK conspiracy isn't a good enough reason to start a revolution.
2. Starting a revolution in a democratic country is stupid.

Because the American people have devolved into easily manipulated masses, not worthy of the liberties and freedoms the original founding fathers set up for them. Lok at the history from WW2 until now. there has been a steady decline in everything our grandparents and great grandparents fought for. But don't worry about it, just sit back, pay taxes and vote for the same old same old. Watch your TV and play video games. the government will do the rest. Remember, it is for the children.

Because you're in a democracy and you don't revolt in democracies, you have your say at the ballot box. That's why you have a stable society instead of of living in a dictatorship where oppostion to the leaders means the death penalty without a trial.

If you are referring to the complaints that you see on a message board like this, it is because those complaining only do so in a place where they can remain anonymous. They only do so in a place where it takes little to no effort because "in the real world" it would mean having to take responsibility for their stance. They don't want to do that.
It is quite cowardly if you ask me.

Because we are the ones that vote these people into power who appoint the people in the power-full agencies, like CIA, NSA, FBI etc.
However, we only get to vote for the people who are on the ballots, who (for larger elections) are usually multi-millionaires. And then when they get their rich a$$es into a powerful office, because we voted for them, they then appoint their rich friends and listen to their mega-rich corporations who finance their campaigns and pay billions for lobbiests to get laws to make them even further rich.
Nothing new, since the beginning of civilization, we have always been governed by the rich and powerful. IE: the church, the kings, the nobles etc. Democracy hasn't changed that, it just makes is FEEL like we have a say, but only at small local levels.

The complaint is mostly in the biased news agency's. The democratic party one the elections, so most of the negative reporting will fade, unless it is something negative about our president. They will continue in full force on that subject to make sure they win that office in 2008

I was going to answer this question by saying that people seem to be afraid of gas chambers and electric chairs. But if the question is about Kennedy and President Johnson the 2nd, then the answer is simpler: The latter was all right, and people didn't think it was necessary to rebel against him.
