Will U.S. Citizens Ever Stand Up and Fight Like Those In Greece?

[tmg19103]

Where is the outrage in this country? I guess everybody is counting on McBama and the Fed to save the day.

Personally, I don't think Americans have it in them to stand up to their government like the Greeks....

So I guess the L.A. riots was a good thing...

Americans have been neutered by an extensive indoctrination process. Public schools, corporate media outlets, and various other methods of propaganda have all played their part in that process. Our men act like boys, too busy playing with toys, chasing women and watching football.

On top of that, no one has any principles they're willing to fight for. Truth has been relegated to the realm of opinion, morality is whatever you can get away with, and individual responsibility has been replaced with the self-loving, childish concept of "take care of me/its his fault".

If we ever do have riots like those in Greece, it will not be because a principle has been violated, or one's liberty has been stripped. It will be because the food supply has run out, or for the sake of looting and easy gain.

I doubt America would rise up even if they negated the 2nd amendment.

I doubt it. People here in Europe riot all the time, not so much anymore in the US. I don't like the "So I guess the L.A. riots was a good thing... " comment, and I don't think those so called riots have much in common with what is happening in Greece.

The last LA riots were a bunch of idiots destroying their own neighborhoods, stuff, etc. In Greece, they're destroying BANKS, parliament stuff. There's some corelation to the cause of the problem with the destruction, ie rough justice.
The LA riots were nothing but a bunch of idiots trashing stuff.

Face it, you're living in a country of morons.

You guys just can't wait for violence, can you? You 2nd amendmenters aren't any better than the neocons with the obvious lust for blood you demonstrate

We can resolve this peacefully with civil disobedience and jury nullification

 

[reduen]

I have said this before, we do not have to fight and riot! All we need is about a million Americans to rise up and fire all these deadbeat politicians. Don't even let "the powers that be" provoke you to violence... Forget voting, we all just need to agree on about a dozen people to lead the way and just go physically put them in office in the white house. Those twelve could lead the way.

According to the Declaration this is our duty in times like these..

The problem is that you cannot get a million Americans to agree on anything and stand up for liberty.....

United we stand, divided we fall!

Patience. All will be settled when the time is right.

Right now, it isn't right. The People will rise up if the State becomes too intolerable. That is unless you believe we live in a "new age", in which case I say you are no different than all those economists and financial experts who said America was a "New Economy".

There are Laws that have to be obeyed, and I'm not talking about man-made laws. Nature will destroy those who don't follow the rules; it always has. The NWO will never be permanent if it even manifests itself to begin with.

I'm not worried at all. Things will unfold as they should. The Government is no smarter now than it was two days ago, two years ago, two hundred years ago, or two thousand years ago. Time will destroy the Government as it always has.

Do you all honestly believe something like the NWO could exist for long?? I mean, the Soviet Union was HUGE and it collapsed. Society wouldn't, couldn't, take slavery. The Feudal System was destroyed when all literature was controlled by the State, when those of no education couldn't understand what true freedom was. If the NWO were to exist, it would collapse regardless of "brainwashing" as great minds would seep through the holes and re-invigorate human sovereignty.

"You guys"? This is a forum for open discussion and your comment feels devicive to me. I value your opinion but a comment like "You guys just can't wait for violence, can you? You 2nd amendmenters aren't any better than the neocons with the obvious lust for blood you demonstrate?" Seems more like flame bait than a call for objective discorse.

 

[ItsTime]

They have played this out just right.
They gave a large amount of people HOPE.
That calms the sheep for a little while and it takes longer for them to get mad,
they go into denial because they do not want to admit they had false hope,
then they start making excuses for why Obama is doing all sorts of unconstitutional acts, continuing Bush's failed policies and building up a police state.

 

[Catatonic]

Violence is for self defense only and a last resort at that.

But....

There's a reason gun sales are at record levels.

Except that one group is protecting what's theirs and the other group is stealing what isn't.

 

[Penners]

We are truly a county of morons! Most folks are just watching American Idol, MSM news and denying anything is wrong with our government.

 

[Dequeant]

So I guess the L.A. riots was a good thing...

Sure they were......in a completely bad, not at all good way. However, what started them is that a large group of people felt strongly they were denied equal justice by the government. I can respect that. It's the idiots that took over from there that gave it a bad rap.

You 2nd amendmenters aren't any better than the neocons with the obvious lust for blood you demonstrate

You 1st amendmenters aren't any better than the neocons with the obvious lust for stereotypes you demonstrate. In case you don't pick up the irony, you aren't going to hurt my feelings by calling us by the rights we are willing to fight to protect. However, I'd imagine your forefathers would be quite ashamed of your lack of willingness to fight for those they themselves fought for. Retort if you'd like, but you've made plain how you feel.

agree on about a dozen people to lead the way and just go physically put them in office in the white house

Most dictatorships start juuuuuuuuust like that. Well, oligarchies technically, but those usually end up as a dictatorships eventually. Funny, you would carry your own chains, and when you got to where you wanted to go, you'd even put them on yourself. Would be dictators pray for citizens like yourself. Think about what you say, then imagine the worst case scenario.....and plan for it.

I agree with Socialize_me. Timing, strategy, and tactics is everything. Think about it, Americans will unite against patriotic people while gas is going low and unemployment is only effecting certain portions of the country. Furthermore, who are you going to stand up to? Government?

Or those who caused the mess which is a smaller group than ron paul supporters? (Bilderburg, CFR, and fed)

Imagine a 1,000,000 ceitizens armed themselves and stormed the FED, CFR and Bilderburg, Demanding that thy all resign! What could they do about it? 1,000,0000 people is only like 1% of americans or less...

Hopefully at least 2% of Americans are still truly patriotic.

One million is about a third of a percent of the total population in the United States of America.

If you're talking about legal adults, that's a different story.
