1) The American Revolution was followed by the French Revolution and then the Russian Revolution, so your opening line (The American Revolution was the revolution to end all revolutions) is already a misnomer.
2) You wrote: "where we citizens owned our government and were not state chattel" But at the time of this nation's founding, "citizens" was a reference to white male landowners and many of them owned chattel slaves.
3) You wrote: There is no need for violence, which includes your civil disobedience By definition, civil disobedience is not violent. Once disobedience becomes violent, the "civil" part goes away.

And finally: 4) The Bill of Rights, being a part of the Constitution, only applies to the government. It is tremendously ignorant to think it guarantees our rights in the private sector. The root of the struggle between the left and right in America today is balanced on this issue. The right is trying to privatize public interests which effectively removes the power of the Constitution from American lives. A perfect example is the recent Supreme Court ruling on arbitration agreements, which is something I posted about when it happened and there wasn't a single conservative on this site that understood it. That's because you folks are all being fooled by the plutocracy which has found great benefits to leaning on the most illiterate sector of the American population and it's in their best interest that you NOT understand what they are doing. They know they can rely on agitating your emotions to override any sense of intelligence.


I don't know what you are referring to.


I have a job making six figures. I doubt there is anything in www.apprenticeships.gov that could come close to matching that.


D'Souza is a felon with a political stick up his ass and poor writing skills.

I'm already familiar enough with Alinsky's "affiliation" with Al Capone to know it was a matter of study, not alliance.

Denial has that effect. ;)


*sigh* So this post is ALL about me. So, ad hominem or are you really that obsessed with me? (It's kinda creepy.) Why don't you stick to the topic?

Oops, found this one.



Sometimes people need to get a hold of themselves. ;)

Work on missile guidance and counter measures pays six figures?? You're probably black too. I hope that isn't an insult!

I'm not sure if you're supposed to count the two figures after the decimal point, or not. I guess it depends on your perspective.

Good point!

"The Nazis and Communists hated each other with a passion."

Pure propaganda, as General Ewald von Kleist testified to whence captured by the British.

There is a 20 acre underground city just outside of Washington owned by the US military; it is housing volumes of classified intelligence files from WWII and the Cold War, its surface has barely been scratched, which verify the declassified KGB files. New books have been published on this hidden history. I could recommend some to you if you are truly interested. You might also like to visit the Hoover Institute which has the world's largest historical collection on the Bolshevik Revolution. Ronald Reagan took Gorbachev there for a visit.

Don't rely on the old history books we were brought up on. You gotta get out there and see the new stuff that is being exposed.

We have been lied to. Every effort has been made to prop up the failed states of communism that it might look pretty to the Third World so that they might seize it and perish all the sooner. Perhaps your heart is not evil enough to perceive this hoax the socialists perpetrate upon the poor.
