Will an American equivalent of the IRA develop now?
I've been wondering if this fraudulent election won't cause some Americans to take up arms for a Guerilla resistance?

Are people pissed off enough to do that, or are we generally too passive?

What do you think?

Might it be unhealthy to attend large public functions like inaugurals or state funerals after this?

I worry that some half-cocked resistance will happen, kill some innocent people, and cause a major crackdown on all resistance groups whether they support violence or not.

2. I wasn't looking for an announcement...
I was looking for discussion.

Do we need to worry about this?

3. 3 elecions have been stolen so far.
I'm wondering how much more it will take for a Guerilla resistance?

I hope people can be woken up to the fact that we are no longer electing our presidents and that he is being installed. We are no longer a democracy.

5. I think that is a long way off
People don't have their faces in the mud yet.
All depends on how far bush pushes.

6. Wait for the draft.
Nothing violent will happen until then. After that, I intend to do my errands wearing an Army helmet and Kevlar vest just in case I get caught in the crossfire.


BTW, don't be so damn sure that the first volley won't come from the right. To appease the paramilitarys, I wouldn't be surprised if the right-wingers make sure their sons get duty in the National Guard to restore order stateside, while everyone else has to go overseas and be sacrified for Bush's mistakes.
