Why don't people rise up?

[Stephanie]

People exercising their constitutional rights.

well I do believe that is what the OP was talking about.

No one is stopping anyone from exercising their rights. The OP is advocating overthrowing the government which is retarded on a number of levels.

So what.. it's the right of the people if they feel it necessary

God, you are a dumb bitch. Well go start your revolution then. At least we won't have to read your idiocy anymore.

you're still a horses ass and you can save your sermons about going against the will of the people, blaa blaa blaa...we witnessed it all during the Bush administration so you can stable that high horse

The irony of calling anyone a dumb bitch after coming to the conclusion above is most likely lost on you.

 

[Freewill]

So voting for Mittens would have changed all that?

Most assuredly yes.

Keep sitting in a country on the other side of the world claiming to have a valid opinion on American society dumb bitch.

There are obviously people in our society that can't see the forest through the trees. This is unfortunate, but a fact. And we all suffer for them not being able to grasp reality. What they do affects all of us. Anyway that says they like how things are going, obviously are among those unable to grasp the picture. Until they suffer and struggle enough to get the picture, i doubt they will see things. Alot of people are very gullible and being convienced by this con artist obama. They don't even realize their minds are being twisted to what obama wants them to think. What a shame, but so true

Yeah we all know that the ODS and the bitterness people like you have towards Obama is that you saddled your horse to one of the worst if not the worst Presidents in history and psychologically you can't handle being connected to such a loser. So on an unconscious level you're forced to act out against Obama in the same way people fought Bush even though most of your whining makes little sense.

 

[Oldguy]

We had our chance at election time, and the people put the same career politicians right back in.

That's right. The People elected who they wanted to represent them in a free and completely open election. That is their right and they exercised that right.

Just because you don't LIKE who they elected does not give you, or anyone else, the right to reject the Will of The People and impose your own preferred solution.

That would be tyranny, and if you and your fellow travelers try to subvert the Will of The People, you'll find yourself heartily opposed by those who love the Constitution and the principle of self-rule.

hummm, so what do you call all that protesting and marching people did during the Bush administration? they were going against THE WILL of people who elected him

People better wake up to what's happening

Protesting and marching are just fine. So is any other means of legal resistance within our political system.

But, that's not what this duck is talking about, any more so than a dozen similar threads by a dozen other disgruntled Nutter's. They're threatening armed revolt and THAT is a whole other matter, isn't it?

 

[Freewill]

What is truly amazing is that if Obama did win the election fair and square how low informed are those who voted for him. First of all someone questioned him giving raises out, and he did, but apparently the low informed voters don't know or are calling an increase in pay something other then a raise.

Second in order to be happy with what is going on one has to ignore the enormous debt bubble that is getting ready to burst. This is very reminiscent of the housing bubble which the left ignored to our demise. Sure no one is going to rise up we have it too good, right now, regardless of how both sides try to paint the other as evil. But that changes nothing. It is like the Titanic is sinking and we are rearranging the deck chairs.

the worst President in history is still a Democrat (jimma carter) and soon there will be another Democrat joining him..the junior senator who thinks himself our dictator
And you talk about people acting out, who is it that goes around calling people, dumb bitches...that would BE YOU

I intend to do just that, except for the sitting part. I have a job and pay taxes here, and in the US so you can get your food stamps.

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

Nothing is going to change until the citizens in this country do something. All the talk in the world is not going to change things. And all the complaining isn't going to change anything.

We had our chance at election time, and the people put the same career politicians right back in. Obama just gave congress and his cabinet all pay raises, and now he just gives presidents armed guards for life, at our tax expense.

This administration is going to make it financially good for themselves, and to heck with the people in this country. Its all about what the politicians can gain and get. They are raking in the money while the citizens struggle to pay debts.

They talk about us people having to scarifice durning these hard times, yet they give to themselves anything they need. The scarifices should start with them. They need to cut their pays, and they damn sure don't need armed guards for the rest of their intire lives....nor do we need to pay them salaries after they are out of office..............where is the outraged and voice from the people.?????????

If this is what you want then don't complain.

The situation today in which blue collar labor is basically chattel, moved back and forth between public and private support systems, is not any part of my vision for the United States. The US has been poorly led since Johnson and incompetently led since Carter - no exceptions. Reagan tripled the debt, Clinton finished Reagan's idiotic deregulation of avarice, Bush invaded the wrong countries for the wrong reasons, and Obama is literally hapless.

But complaining is not my style. My style is to stump congressscum visiting district post offices and humiliate local officials in public. In a fairly upscale restaurant recently, I asked a judge when police finding illegal drugs in a vehicle with an infant in it stopped being a change in circumstance for custody consideration. The filthy incompetent scum suggested he shouldn't be questioned in public. The discussion didn't last long, he and his family left. Humiliated as they all should have been.

To answer your question, most of humanity are little better than cattle. They need care and feeding and directed by the dogs of commerce or war. Few people know what they want, let alone how to get it. Making a bad situation worse, the rules are malleable; legal contests today are more often won by money than by reason.

My theory:

Anger, hunger and pain are all that motivate individuals to act against authority.
​

When two of the three achieve collective critical mass at the lower end of the economic spectrum, then revolution starts from the bottom [see, France, 1780s; Somalia today].
​

When anger reaches critical mass among would-be oligarchs revolution starts from the top [see, American colonies, 1770s - violent; US, 1980s - nonviolent destruction of blue collar middle class].
​

As to results, there are no guarantees [see, Latin America since 1700s].

YMMV

 

[OODA_Loop]

Why are conservatives so fucking stupid that they can't separate how Bush absolutely destroyed this country from Obama's Administration? It continually amazes me how these people cannot accept reality.

Because you have the patent on absolute reality. If someone doenst see it your way....... they are stupid.

Brilliant.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Why don't people rise up?

..............where is the outraged and voice from the people.?????????

Like I said.......

For those, truly committed.....

....The Revolution
STILL HAS "LEGS"!!!

.....and, we're STILL WINNING!!!!!!

How much do you get?

Zilch, about the only people on welfare here are Roma Czech citizens (think gypsy, kinda like blacks in the US). The rest of the population is white with a large Vietnamese minority who actually work and do well.

Don't piss off the gypsies..

That gypsy magic is pretty nasty. They turned me into a werewolf.

True story.

There aren't many things an administration can do that are absolutely permanent. An obvious exception to that rule is war, where the losses of lives and limbs are quite permanent.

Ultimately the electorate will decide what it wants, and there will always be those who ain't happy. It's up to those people to change hearts and minds. How do they do that? Thoughtful, patient, pragmatic reason.

How not to change hearts and minds? Behaving like a petulant seven year old who refuses to play with others; emotional, apocalyptic mania; calling those who dare to disagree with you "low information (stupid) voters".

Mac, the gun nutters on here have been saying the same things over and over for days now; they will die for their guns, they will rise up for their guns, they have an absolute right to any gun they want, they are the NRA GUN GODS.

Are you saying that you are not convinced by their reasoning just because of their passion for guns and shooting bad guys?
