You Sure You Want A Revolution?

The American Revolution was possible because we were an isolated and well-organized colony with vast natural resources, and we didn't have to destroy the terrible taxing Empire, just separate ourselves from it. We also had foreign help that wanted to bring down the government we were revolting against. To what foreign countries today might American freedomists turn for help to bring down Washington? Which of those do you want to see become more powerful than we are?

The French "people's" Revolution resulted in Napoleon. Russian "people's" Revolution resulted in Stalin. Chinese "people's" Revolution resulted in Mao. Spain's failed and they got Vichy. Germany did it with an internal Uber-Party coup... and got Hitler.

Looks to me like a new US Revolution would result in not an affluent Libertarian community, but rule by militant religious fanatics under a real take-charge authoritarian Ordained Leader who would brook no dissent from liberals, perverts, perps or suspects, protesters complaining about their rights or rations, or the Godless... no? Tell me, after we have guillotined Pelosi and torched the Tar Baby on a cross in his front yard, then what? Will we all become Deputies, open a gas station or a Bible school, and buy new cars? And what about Aunt Bea's apple pie? Is that to kill for, or what?
