Friend, you are talking r*******n or revolution and world government, and, in addition, our citizens not fighting to turn events back to our Democratic Constitution. Then, you sort of say "lie down and let it happen." On these points I totally disagree. True Americans will stand up for what we believe in, not curl up into a big ball and await their fate.
A world government is a total absurdity, unless it is forced upon us by outside powers, none of which really wants to tackle our military. Without question America will fight to ensure that our nation will exist and prosper, and not be governed by i***ts from the rest of the world. We are a sovereign nation, and that means everything to freedom and liberty lovers.

...
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Shelley
