I've been asking myself that same question for quite awhile now. One good thing is we still have our guns. Now a gun will usually scare the ever-loving hell out of a true jack@ss. If you EVER find a group that wants to do that very thing, please let me know - and I am serious about this! The people who make the laws do so because they think the people are asleep at the wheel. Not me jack!

If you think our government is crooked you should visit any country in Central America, Asia, South America, Middle East or Africa and you would learn the true meaning of corruption.
You only have a revolution when you have more to lose by holding the status quo then by over throwing it. So long as the country remains among the most prosperous in the world there will not be a revolution.

HAHAHA one guy said "every time we vote"
I must have missed the race where the average joe got one up on the wealthy crooked politician!
I agree with the guy who said "when they come to take my gun"
But it's not going to happen, first you would have to dispose of all the crackheads and drug addicts, which isn't going to happen as long as they are being fed drugs by the tons, that our government allows to slip through the borders.
Then you would have to convince all the drones that work for local and state law enforcement that the federal government is corrupt (not going to happen)
And even then, half the troops would turn on the public at a single command because they usually don't know what they are fighting for or even if there is a solid reason for their actions. Know anyone who's in the service, it's KILL KILL KILL!!!
So, if you got past all that, you would be left with a bunch of whimpering senators that don't know how to survive without 20 mexicans and a starbucks.
Besides, if people really tried to reverse the direction this country is going in (which is written into the constitution to do so) the government would probably just jump the gun and pretend we were all indians. Yea that would make it easy for them, they sure did enjoy killing indians, in the name of democracy of course!
How can you ever have peace without killing the opponent?

everyone check none of the above if the candidates running for a particular office are not indicating that they are seriously going to address some of America's real and serious problems with the infrastructure of our country.
I think the 12 billion a month that is being spent on the war could definately be used to make some major improvements in our own country! I also wonder who are the beneficicaries of the 12 billion a month. Follow the money. I think politicians on both sides have a vested interest in citizens remaining apathetic about this countries problems. They keep trying to distract us with the war and "terrorists". Some of the scariest terrorists to me are members of our own government.

Not too long ago I wouldn't even have acknowledged this question - until Prez Bush turned his back on his electorate and the Constitution and tried to force the Immigration bill through.
Thank GOD for all the people who contacted their reps and raised holy hell - THAT made a difference, and the bill was soundly trounced.
Unfortunately most politicians are no longer as concerned with the good of the nation, they're more interested in keeping their job than doing it.
But overrunning the gov. with militia? I don't think we're quiiiite at that point ... yet.

Well, first we have to take the country back from the commies and other authoritarians. All we need to do to heel big business is to stop being influenced by their lobbies. Politicos just love the money and power. They are so entrenched that it would require nuclear energy to separate them from the money and power.
Actually, all we need is an educated and concerned electorate that would choose an honest person in the primaries. Its happened a few times but is still rare. Between professional sports, TV and a corrupt public school system, we'll never see that electorate.

A very visible and important individual will be needed to rally the people. They would have to follow the US constitution's outline for overthrowing the government. But the big business will still be a problem for what ever government takes over. We as a world are centering ourselves around a global economy.

If somebody got here right here and tried that we'd possibly be banding into communities of what would be termed via them terrorist and strike lower back at them any way that we ought to. we'd make existence as depressing for them as achievable and of path we'd use guerrilla strategies on them and then disappear into the inhabitants, the occupation would not go nicely, with a view to persons that use good judgment for reason and don't stick to blindly the place led we are no longer any different from the Iraqi voters.

A miracle!
First you would have to get rid of the "political machine" that runs the country. These rich," out of touch with the average person", people decide who you can vote for, and then, because of their money can tell the politicians what laws to pass or not.
Geo Bush accepted millions of dollars from big oil companies in exchange for not passing pollution laws that would cost oil companies some profit. And from sugar companies in exchange for not passing a law to make food healthier. Two of many things that are not good for the people, but I guess they were good enough for the accountants.

I'm not sure, but it certainly got the attention of "the folks" when both sides tried to ram that ridiculous immigration bill down our throats!
What is really needed for a revolution is a viable third party. Unfortunately, the word "viable" doesn't apply to any third party that I've seen so far. Here's hoping!

Repealing the 2nd Amendment. It's the only thing I can think of that would really piss off 80 million Americans with guns. Other than that, Americans are too fat and lazy to care about their current and growing enslavement by socialism.
