   Just an impulsive post here. All I heard has been talk no action. If there is such a thing, how is it going to happen and on what level. Riots in every major U.S. city on a W.T.O. scale? When do normal citizens take back the country? We are screwed if a Republican is elected president, or even if Obama is re-elected. What makes you think Obama is going to be better in his second term? Lot of wishful thinkers. If you are a young adult, you maybe able to weather it out, but if you are 50 and older, you are toast unless you get very lucky. Back to watching Cougartown now.

   Not sure the purpose of the post, if there even is one. Whats funny is if there ever was a civilian uprising I would suspect the National Guard would be called upon to squash the uprising. The reason is its funny is the US condems that behavior in other countries. You bet your bottom dollar they would do it to.

   I guess if it were to happen it would be exactly as you describe. Normal citizens rioting, then turning against each other then focusing on the government. Think about it, if there is a national uprising I am not going to get into a shootout with the national guard but the people down the street hording the food are a likely target. Even people that talk about some kind of revolution are not prepared for what it would be like. If the majority of americans wanted to overthrow the government it could happen in less than a day.

   This country is going to hell quick though and I am saving as much as I can so I can retire to a nice country like New Zealand. I just need to find a way to smuggle my small arsenal in.

   I'm as disenchanted as anyone, but what exactly do you want to take back? And from whom?
