24. Here's the reason that I bring this up:
Then they have to be stoned, or liqueured up enough, to be willing to charge into blazing Marines.

Or angry enough. I don't think we are. What would it take to be that angry? War with Iran, on the context that the government has been building? Maybe nuking Iran? A nuke coming through our newly-outsourced ports? Imposition of martial law? It has happenned before-maybe not here to that extent, but there are cases where un- or poorly-armed people charge superior forces and overrun them. They just have to be angry enough to do so.

The fact is, there's some people in this country that are very angry indeed. I just don't know how many.

OK. I understand the rage. I feel it myself. But I much prefer to think with my brains, and not my guts. The electoral process is the only way that we have a chance to regain power and start to restore respect for the Constitution to this country and respect for the USA around the world.

Well, what if, like some people believe, the electoral process belongs to them now? What if the voting machine issue is every bit as serious as people suggest? Then is there no way that we can fix the system?

I don't buy that. The people that started this country were under a royal fiat, and had no representation, yet they started this country anyway. The argument isn't whether we can take the country back by force, it's whether we're at the point where it is appropriate.

But again, this is all hypothetical discussion Agent Mike...
