The key to the trust between authorities and civilians is that both sides understand there are rules you don’t break. The police have the right to arrest you, but only so you can have your day in court. The civilians submit to arrest assuming they’ll be treated fairly and will have their chance to defend themselves in front of a jury of their peers.

But if the police start shooting people instead of arresting them, the people have a right and an obligation to resist. That is how a society works. Once one side quits playing by the rules, the other side MUST resist. If you submit you are going to be continuously assaulted by those who lose more and more respect for you as humans with free will. The assaults will continue until there is nothing left, no free will, no rights, no hope… no freedom. It is the way of humans. It has been the way of humans since the first man struck another with a fist or club and took what the fallen man possessed.

Whether it is by a club, a fist, a stone, a spear, or from the barrel of a gun, the constant threat of abuse and violence always exists. This is why the founding fathers built this nation, to create securities, no more like barriers to those threats. They gave us ways to peacefully resolve differences. But they also warned us, repeatedly, that the threat is not only out there but can come in many different forms, including the velvet covered fist of good intentions by liberals and progressives.

What is going to happen? I wrote about one possible future in my novel. (www.revoltthebook.com) You see, it is also the duty and responsibility of the people to protect their God given rights. This is what many felt around 1858 when an assault upon state and individual rights occurred.

Today, most people don’t understand Obama wasn’t lying. Neither were the radical leftists from the sixties disguised as mature politicians we see before us now. They are on the path to pull the final plug on their drive to crush what was once the greatest and freest nation in the history of the world. How will we respond? How will you respond? Will you be content to talk about the Nov 2010 as the way to punish the Dems when Biden overrules the Senate parliamentarian? Even though it will be tantamount to being shot at by the police.

I’ve said this many times before, the biggest problem within a revolution is one of perspective. You simply cannot get far enough away from the problem to see the enormity of the effort and assault. As we complain about healthcare, they are thinking of seizing more land out west (the premise of the book’s plot- written in 1997 mind you!), stopping fishing, FISHING!, seizing control of your kid’s higher education and pushing regulation upon you so you will never rise above your class without their approval.

I wouldn’t worry so much, but the greatest generation is dying off. Their words of caution are no longer muttered from old men’s lips. Some say our financial meltdown was caused by the retirement of the cautious old men who knew better, who remember the last depression, and who were replaced by those young guns who screwed up our system in a drive to get rich quick on the backs of men and women like you and me. The same who now demand billions of our tax money and also demand they control our way of life because they are the educated elites. Talk about brass ones!

No honor, no sacrifice, no respect and no accountability, no soul and no morals. Why are we standing by and letting them tell us how to live, how to raise our kids, and they are the ones who will tell us what rights they will give us. Why?

You have to remember the 90/10 rule. 90% of the people are sheep, 10% run the world, the rest go around wondering what happened and who did it. It has always been that way until a crisis wakes up more of the 90%. Politicians and tyrants bank of the hope that they can keep most of us asleep. When that doesn’t work, they’ll resort to force.

In 1776 it was a relatively small band of men and women who stood up and said enough. The vast majority of the people were either neutral or favored British citizenship. They stood on the sidelines, at least at first. In 1858, the South refused to accept the tariffs and other restrictions put upon them by the greedy North. Slavery was only one part of the equation. It was their way or no way, and the South chose to exercise its Constitutional right to secede. You don’t learn that in history classes because it doesn’t fit the progressive mantra. They don’t want you to learn you have a right to say no. That our founding fathers begged us not to submit to tyranny, because they knew it would mean all their sacrifices were for naught.

Do not allow that to happen. Read the book. Understand we are a free people and there are options available. Always chose peaceful options first. Always. But like I said before, sooner or later, enough will be enough. The question is where is the line? I don’t know. But it seems the Obama administration and their cronies in Congress, business, and the media are dead set on finding it.
