We are not going to take this politely.
Americans are heavily armed, loud, belligerent, combative assholes and everyone knows it. Really. Everyone. Ask any foreign acqauintence.

The kettle is gonna blow.

3. So when then?
We are no more heavily armed, loud, belligerent, combative assholes than a lot of 3rd world countries.

4. Frankly, if this does not go well, I think we are looking
at uprisings nationwide, like what is going on in the Middle East. Wisconsin and Minnesota are only the beginning.

5. Let's be loud, belligerent and combative but let's leave the guns at home ...
we are nowhere need the point where we need to have a revolution to overthrow a tyranny.

6. The American people will take it without murmuring a single word of protest.
Bookmark this post and come back in 6 months and prove me wrong. It won't happen.

8. Disagree, there will be plenty of murmurs
and lots of angry blog posts.

And then there will be another Democrat in a sex scandal, and they'll all move on.

7. Florida is safe from harm.



There are too many mindless zombies who will believe anything the rethuglicans tell them.

12. What will you do elehhhhna?
Are you going to rise up. Are you going to be part of this blow-up? Really? Or is it going to be "let's you and him fight" one more time.

I grow weary.

16. Well let's try this first...........
An indefinite general strike until we get what we want. Payment strike for all consumer loans and loud, long, and DEFINITELY impolite demonstrations and occupations of governmental buildings, starting in DC.

20. A good start. It's clear our Corporate Masters & their puppets will feed us as much crap as
we're willing to eat. The burden is on us to demonstrate Business as Usual is over.

22. Oh yeah, speaking of eat............
I actually would recommend that folks start stocking up on storable foodstuffs and a MANUAL can opener. Save some money if you can too. Not for bills (we ain't going to be paying those), but for incidentals. If we're going to bring this fucker down, we need to get prepared.

21. The planning should probably start now - general strike if ANY cuts made to SS, Medicare and
Medicaid - and that includes the bullshit "chained CPI", which will be a CUT - they ALREADY are cheating people out of their rightful COLAs by drastically underestimating the rate of inflation. Chained CPI would make it even worse - FUCK that shit!

23. Well it's easy enough for me, being unemployed
but we need to contact the unions with this first. They would have to lead it. And probably NOT the union leadership. Locals and general membership will have to lead something like this.
