Pbbbbtttt, I don't think there are enough of these cranks and crackpots to mount any sort of takeover. They'll never win at the ballot box either. They're a buncha loser wannabe revolutionaries who haven't the faintest of clues about what they are up against.

Their self-justification of the Cruz $24 billion shutdown is example enuff of their logic process and concept level of fiscal responsibility. But you already knew that.
No thanx!

If they should accrue power....

They will become the oppressors. That's the nature of power.

Thats exactly why you don't let government grow to a behemoth. Your offering them the power they will gladly take and then impose.

Yeah Dave no party, and the last one I would ever vote for anymore is the Democratic party.

So, rule by armed mob, spurred on by individuals in the rightwing media that no one voted for, is preferable to you? You see that as a more fair and equitable form of government?

When the Government stops listening to the people and work against them. Yes it's our right and duty.

It's we the people.

Not we the federal government.

One just has to understand that it is "we the people", not "me the person". Just because a handful of people feel one way doesn't make them the majority.

WTF are you talking about? WTF does this silly bullshit have to do with an entitled, hostile narcissistic asshole privileged-character thief who doesn't have to pay his bills? Not a goddamn thing.

You got more monotonous generic complaints about the government? Fine...wonderful... start a boring-ass moronic winger piss-fest thread that we can all ignore.

Besides, it appears to me we're pushing back against the wrong people. We push back against the people we elected and give more and more power to people nobody voted for.

Sorry, but I fail to see that turning out good. In fact, I see it as being completely ass backwards.

As has already been pointed out President Polk took all of that land from Mexico literallly at gunpoint so ownership of any part of it is problematic
