There are a few things worth knowing about revolutions. Most people don’t participate in them, even if the history books often make it seem otherwise. Revolutions are thought up by small groups of people who then make it everyone’s business. Or alternately they don’t. And those are the revolutions that never happen.Most people, at any given time and place, are dissatisfied with the government and believe, rightly, that whoever is in charge is guilty of stealing from them, oppressing them and making it impossible for them to live their lives in peace

Doubt we´ll have a revolution, unless taxes are greatly increased on the middle class. A Value Added Tax or national sales tax could do it.
We´ll probably continue inflating the currency and monetizing the debt. Government will blame business, and the sheep will believe it.

A must read. Greenfield makes several good points. Essential is that he includes the importance of a sympathetic military. As recent events in the Middle East demonstrate: loyalty of the military rank and file often determines the outcome.
Let´s pray that our people in uniform place loyalty to the Constitution and its principles above that to any individual - especially the POTUS. (www.oathkeepers.org)

My husband and I have talked about revolution being the result of Obama and the libs trying to destroy our Country. The one thing that I have always contended is the US Military would never take up arms against the people. Local and state police would also never do such a thing against their neighbors. Never forget that this administration and the dems are the ones who continue to find ways to keep the military votes from being counted.

A tremendous piece! Thanks for posting it! It brings a long lost hopeful feeling back to heart. The warnings and the reasoning are right on target as is the present day uncertainty both of the government and the people. We have many hands to push on this "wall".

Both the Chinese and Russians have done the research: You have to bring in the troops from far away. Local troops are reluctant to shoot their neighbors. Not so, distant troops. And that distant is sometimes NOT measured in miles but in culture.

Interesting food for thought. Zippy is playing with fire. He is so narcissistic that he doesn´t realize that his support isn´t what he thinks it is and that the military would not follow him.
Spoke to a young person in the Special Forces and he said that Zippy has zip support.

If it comes to it, I think we can write off most of the senior level commanders. They have been infected with and have been pushing the PC garbage for years.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
