The British were able to keep things running until they passed the Intolerable Acts. After that, the Massachusetts colony became ungovernable (for Crown officials) beyond the (occupied) city of Boston. General Gage was given an impossible job and managed to fail to do it just perfectly.

Sadly, it will take a great deal more suffering and hardship to find out. The government’s iron fist has come out of the velvet glove, and they openly defy the law , starting from the vacationer-in-chief on down…When that happens, we are no longer a nation of laws, but rather a nation ran by thugs and corporate gangsters,. Like Bob, I truly hope I am proven wrong…Happy Easter to all that read this…

I don’t think the people involved in the American Revolution would be pleased with what our country has become.

No one wants violence, but we are well on the path to it. I can easily imagine scenarios where otherwise law-abiding citizens feel the need to take up arms against government agents. The fact that we are even discussing the possibility is frightening. I would hope that non-violent resistance would be tried first (i.e. not signing up for Obamacare). This is the path I am taking, but if more direct means are necessary, then so be it,.

Voting is not enough. It matters who people vote for. I know this sounds partisan but it really is not: The Democratic Party has to lose big in the coming elections. They have become corrupt, power-hungry, and very arrogant. Unless the voters, all voters, reject this behavior soundly at the polls, nothing will change and we will continue down the path towards tyranny and violent revolt.

The Republicans are just as untrustworthy, but they have had their purges to keep them honest (1974, 2008). The Democrats have not. 1994 was only a mild rejection, leaving many of the worst Democrats still in power. It is time they all felt the wrath of the voters, even in their strongholds.

Sadly, I don’t think that’s going to happen, though I would thrilled to be wrong.

We are on that path. It is not too late to get off it (ie VOTE), but we’re on the way and it won’t be pretty if we get there.
