I'm way past that. I've even written, called, and e-mailed my representatives. Now it's time to do more.
What are you really revolting against?
No one has taken your guns away.
No one has really taken your freedom of speech away.
No one is making you attend any sort of religious organization.
Are you revolting against paying taxes which have not really changed a whole lot in many years?
Obamacare?
Gay marriage? Really?
When you really get down to it what is your bitch that is worth a revolution?
Me thinks your problem is the same problem that gets me riled up, things don't go the way I think they should. I just need to reign in my hubris and realize it is a really big world out there and for some reason there are a lot of folks that don't think as i do. Somehow we all have to learn to just get along. Too bad the left doesn't think anyone's opinion, other then their own, means a thing.
i see the budget deficits and really wonder if the country has gone mad. but then I think I don't really want them cutting medicare or Social Security. Which the latter still pays for itself but seems to be a target. Funny how SS funding is always questioned, although funding is petty clear, but welfare funding is NEVER questioned. Funny still is how SS didn't get a COLA this year but welfare will I am sure. And no, I am not on SS or medicare.
1. I'm not proposing a revolt, I am proposing resistance. Although if it comes to it then that's what will happen.
2. No one has taken my guns away ...yet. Am I supposed to wait until they do?
3. In fact, they are trying to take free speech away. Again, am I supposed to wait until they do?
4. I'm not allowed to practice my religion, unless they approve.
5. Some taxes maybe.
6. Obamacare certainly.
7. Gay marriage no.
8. Not yet worth a revolution but resistance is needed.
And you are saying that there has not been resistance to all of the above?
I am interested in number 4? Where does one get such approval?
No, there has been some, but there is even greater need for it and there can never be too much resistance.
If you practice your religion and they approve, no problem. If they don't approve, you get sued, possibly arrested, and/or run out of town.
The problem is you think your religion trumps the laws of the land. It doesn't, sorry. This isn't a theocracy. Religion trumps all else in Iran, and this isn't Iran.
Yeah that isn't what is happening but we've been through that in many threads many times. There's no need to do it again. You don't agree with my position? So what? I won't be asking you to join me.
