It's not a matter of agreement. Far from it. It's a matter of right and wrong, equal justice, principles, morals, common sense, rights and freedom, integrity within government, true representation, and the founding principles that says we all have a voice, and that voice is not to be silenced. No, there will never come a time when everyone agrees 100% of the time on 100% of the issues. There will never come a time when politics satisfies every need and every want. I honestly don't believe that anyone expects that.We're getting there. Way too much is wrong in this country for it to go unchallenged forever. Peaceful and civil means don't always produce the desired results. There will come a time when force remains the only option. We'll either have to stand and be counted, or remain passive and surrender to defeat. United we stand, divided we fall.We'll get there. Slowly, ever so slowly, the American people are taking to the streets for a variety of reasons. I still believe that we'll have to hit the proverbial "rock bottom" before enough people join in to make a difference, and bring about much needed change. In America, the corruption and abuse of power are embedded so deep, that many have accepted it as status quo. But, times are changing, and many citizens are feeling and experiencing the harsh reality of a system gone awry. Yes, Mr. Obama has many questions to answer concerning his origin of birth, and other equally important questions. Remember, the president of the United States is put in place by the wealthy, the powerful, and the influential. Those that want to continue their control, decide which puppet to put in the oval office.
Why would the president of the United States have his/her college records sealed and labeled "off limits"? Why would the president of the United States use a foreign student ID, with a different name ( Barry Sorrento ) to get into college? Why doesn't anyone that attended college at the same time as Mr. Obama remember him? What is Mr. Obama hiding, and why is he hiding it?
Yes, other countries have riots, protests, and civil unrest, and we're certainly not exempt from the same. Given the right circumstances, I can easily see America taking to the streets and demanding change, answers, and much needed representation. Many citizens are very close to the edge, and need only a slight push to get them actively involved and angry enough to take their frustrations to the nth degree. Remember, a cornered animal will try to fight its way out.
Indeed- Imagine if whites decided to 'protest' in the streets. It would be all but over for the secular progressive movement

Why do some Americans seem to think that inevitably they will end up using force to make other Americans agree with them?
Certainly it is a matter of agreement- when people 'use force' it is the people using force who are insisting that their opinions matter more than those who are not using force.
Those that have good ideals do not often need force.
