[QUOTE=Nikota;37333673]And I mean, it's not like it would be possible to ship anti tank ordnance into the USA considering how large our coast guard and navy are.[/QUOTE] You don't have to import that stuff, there's actually a fairly large amount of locally manufactured anti-materiel weaponry, completely legal to.
Can't we just give Republicans their own island, call it "Better America" and never have to deal with them again? I'm not an American and neither do I live in America, but Republicans just need to go away.

Nothing to get anxious about I'm [i]sure[/i]. :v: [editline]20th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zet;37333928]Can't we just give Republicans their own island, call it "Better America" and never have to deal with them again?

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37330972]The American Revolution was over way less than what we're experiencing now.[/QUOTE] lmao so are you moving to virginia then to participate in the revolution you seem so eager for?
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;37333830]You don't have to import that stuff, there's actually a fairly large amount of locally manufactured anti-materiel weaponry, completely legal to.[/QUOTE] I'm aware of 50 caliber ammunition being legally manufactured, and those can't make a dent in an abrams except if they were exactly on top of it and shooting at the entry or the engine from point blank. My point is, could you acquire a HEAT rocket?

[url]http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/[/url] fuck fuck fuck I have been making myself feel better by looking at the estimate that Obama has a 70% chance of winning but it has been going down slowly for a couple weeks
[QUOTE=Ybbats;37333405]Don't get what the point of democracy is if you can just threaten to override the vote with violence if you don't like the outcome. I'm all for a revolution, but not a revolution against democracy working the way it's intended, more it being overridden by tyranny. Republicans have become so backwards these past 10-15 years.[/QUOTE] The way the USA is now is [i]not[/i] democratic. You get to choose between two mass murderers for president and pay taxes to fund war, failing banks, and bought-off regulators. No matter who wins in 2012, the American people lose.
National Guard units could conceivably defect, I guess. That's the only way this could turn into anything other then a drone strike or a series of arrests.

Couple angry Republicans with the angry TEA Party and angry occupiers, and you could get a serious mess. It is by no means assured, but it is also by no means completely ruled out.

We've already established that you literally lack the ability to comprehend the concept of asymmetrical and unconventional warfare, so we'll not get into that. I just find it hilarious how smug you act over your perceived notion that the government could take absolute control over your life and you wouldn't even bother raising your voice in protest due to the apparent futility.
Also, we should just conclude that Republicans always say crazy shit but never do anything at all
I think there'd be some tragic irony if this revolt were ever to happen. Those republicans would be blown away by the overbloated military budget which they were so adamant not to cut.

[QUOTE=legolover122;37330607]I am not paying 100% attention to the election, but obama seems like the only competent candidate that won't immediately try his hardest to fuck everything up. And romney pretty much killed himself politically speaking in the last couple months.[/QUOTE] Have you not heard of Gary Johnson? Yes, the likelihood of him being elected is nearly 0%, but the guy truly is the best candidate, in my opinion. If you haven't read about his position on issues, check out his website.

Do you honestly think some fucking paranoid hick militias could take on the US Military? Sure our government might be pretty shitty, but I fucking fear the sort of government a GOP/Conservative uprising would bring.

I mean, look at how many people in the FSA were at one point part of the Syrian Army. An armed revolution is not impossible. It just couldn't be handled like a traditional war.

And, right at this moment, so are a bunch of illiterate goat herders with re-arseneled Enfield rifles. I'm not talking about what the group in the OP is talking about. I'm talking about a popular revolution, which is a hell of a lot more than feasible.

Has it [i]really[/i] come to this? Talk of armed revolution? [b]Really?[/b] American politics are becoming more and more bitter with each passing day. Back in the days of Eisenhower up to the end of Jimmy Carter, politicians might have disagreed and debated over issues, but they almost never outright hated each other for them. Now look at them! They're calling for armed revolution, and for what? Because the president has views that aren't necessarily theirs? Because he doesn't look to the Bible for insight on how to treat gays? Because he passed [i]one[/i] piece of legislation that only instates a few measures that makes healthcare a little bit more accessible? It's as if Obama strapped on a Hitler mustache, replaced the stars on the flag with hammers and sickles, and walked around throwing peoples' babies into an incinerator while screaming "SIEG HEIL." God [b]DAMN[/b].
