Is revolution really possible in America? Why yes, it is.

In the two posts under, Lex outlines where he sees the nation headed.  We’ve nearly reached the point where electoral activism is a waste of time.  We know that lawless civil disobedience is not in the DNA of most conservatives.

What’s left?  Revolution.

Well if you won’t participate in civil disobedience, how are going to get people to participate in revolution?  First, it will only take 20% of the population to participate.  Like in most things, the herd will sit on the sidelines rooting alternately for who ever appears to have the upper hand at the time.  Think of the last “group project” at work, school, church etc.  How many did the heavy lifting?  I’ll bet it was a very small percentage.

Next, it won’t be us who starts the revolution.  It’ll probably be the 16,000 IRS thugs hired to enforce Robertscare when they start knocking down doors in the middle of the night to collect fines and order compliance.  Or maybe it’ll be the Census Bureau when they show up armed to force compliance with the next census.  Maybe I’ll start when the government arms the TSA and they start shooting us for refusing the backscan radar.  It’ll probably be some small encounter of a typical citizen against some heavily armed government bureaucrat demanding compliance with some asinine government regulation.  The citizen will refuse.  The bureaucrat will be angered.  He will kill an unarmed citizen exercising what here to for were normal rights associated with a free nation.  Impossible!  Oh, really.  Read Mark Steyn’s take on the murder of an unarmed citizen by the heavily armed over zealous Washington D.C. palace guards.

Why are there so many agencies within the federal government that have an armed component to them?  Why is DHS buying up every available round of ammunition?  Why do local police departments’ “tactical divisions” look more like Marines going house to house in Falujah than those paid to protect and serve the local population?  Why is there a never ending campaign from our ruling class to grab our guns?  Could it be because the government sees something coming?

Then consider this.  Who was held accountable for the death of US Border Agent in the Fast and Furious fiasco?  Nobody, that’s who.  Now who has been held accountable for the IRS “targeting” us; for the NSA spying on US; for the murder of four US citizens in Benghazi - nobody that’s who.  Lying $h!t James Clapper, Shrilldabeast Clinton, Eric the wad Holder all lie bold faced to us and the congress and there is not one word of protest from any in the lapdog media and very few from our elected ruling class - who seem strangely familiar with how this dance goes.

But you know where people are being held accountable?  In the military it seems every true war fighting general is being purged from the king’s army and replaced with an obsequious arsekissing yes man.  Gen. Patraeus is gone.  Famous crush our own troops Amos is in.  Gen. Mattis is gone. Some navy dope admiral who thinks the biggest threat in the Pacific is global warming is in.  Gen. McChrystal is gone.  Some piss ant AF general that let’s a Godless creep like Mikey Weinstein run his bases instead of telling him to go piss up a rope is in.

Well Lex, you gotta understand that there will always be few bad apples in every large organization.  There are far more good guys than bad guys in the upper echelon of military leadership.  Maybe, but here’s an indication that we’re pretty screwed at the senior “leadership” levels of the military.  What gen walked into the office their service secretary and threw his stars on the desk and quit over DoD’s refusal to pay death gratuities to military members killed during the so-called government shut down?  Politics trumped military professionalism across the board in that display of utter gutlessness.

I do not think it beyond the realm of possibility that this government will declare some kind of martial law based on Robertscare’s failure, a natural disaster, an upcoming election or some other manufactured crisis.  The government will order us to “shelter in place” until the crisis passes while police and other criminal elements roam the streets rounding up anyone running a blog that opposes the government.

We won’t be responsible for starting the revolution, but we will be caught up in it.  For the first time in my life, I fear for our great republic.

Aside: 
It dawned on me this weekend that we do a great disservice to the “indispensible man” of our nation’s founding - George Washington – by having his name associated with the cesspool of greed, corruption and narcissism that has become today’s District of Columbia.

In honor of George Washington, Lex will no longer associate his name with the city that has become the slit trench of America - that is, the city where America goes to deposit its excrement.  It will now be known simply as D.C. or Caligula D.C. for a person whose character it now most resembles.
