No apology required Jo, feeling that we’re on the verge of a revolution is one thing, making statements that seek to incite that revolution are a whole different matter…

You didn’t do that, but I have to put a stop to it ASAP because of the words from one less than desirable individual…

I apologize Fred…sometimes the word I want to use eludes me. I just feel like so uneasy lately…and uneasy was what I felt during the 60′s *revolution*.

Correction – it should read the administration and the DoT – not the FMCSA……

I agree with Ranando – if someone would enter the race and we could believe they would seal the borders, they would have a GOOD chance of winning. I firmly believe the American people are tired of the illegals, the drug runners, etc, coming in from Mexico. We do have one Republican candidate with a good plan to stop illegal immigration, but I wouldn’t believe Hucksterbee if he told me the grass was green and the sky was blue.
I still cannot get over how the administration and the FMCSA has gone around Congress to continue the Mexican truck pilot program — they obviously don’t care about the will of the American people.

Top Gun, you in NO WAY made reference to nunoftheabove or that comment, you sited a BAD LINK to Wiki titled The Shot Heard 'Round The World... I will have NO ONE, not YOU or anyone else reference REVOLUTION and this nation together in this blog, unless you're discussing the American Revolution as a topic of history, NOT as an example of what is, in YOUR opinion, needed today... You have been warned... I appreciate your participation but you really need to start your own blog, it's free and easy, give it a try, then you can freely espouse ANY bullshit you like... Your comment:

It does not take a group, it takes a â€œfirst shotâ€, and then the group will form. Â Isnâ€™t that what originally happened in Concord MA., one shot? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_heard_'round_the_world

And that TG is ALL it takes, you won't come in here and whine about me removing a comment, I won't allow people like you to make reference to a revolt against this nation, I don't give a damn whether you like it or not, this blog is mine and what gets said here is up to ME and any talk of revolution, especially the thinly veiledÂ crapÂ that you are attempting to espouse, WILL NOT HAPPEN on THIS blog....

We fought the Revolutionary War, in part, to end the oppression of the British.

Please, I am asking, don’t equate the needed action against Mexico as a revolution, not here, not in MY blog, we are NOT oppressed by OUR government, we are mis-led, but I won’t have any talk of revolution, misnomer or otherwise, discussed here, the federal government is NOT the problem, the current and sitting president is, and as much as I totally dislike the stuttering son of a bitch, I only call for his removal by LEGAL means…

And that’s the very most basic question, is it not?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. â€” That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, â€” That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Very forward thinking those who wrote and ratified this great document. The question is whether there are any of their ilk left to do what they said could be done if necesary.

We can singly or collectively call for a form of revolution but, truly, though it may make us “feel better,” no such thing will occur until we get, at minimum, over 50% to 60% of the populace in agreement.

It is a frustrating, frustrating fact but a fact it is nevertheless. I simply do not see it on the immediate horizon. But I must state that I do, however, see very turbulent storm clouds brewing.

We fought the Revolutionary War, in part, to end the oppression of the British. I see the oppression of the current ‘government’, and their lack of action to protect our borders as a need for action. If that is a misnomer, my apologies. :/ Sometimes my search for the right word escapes me. My frustrations seem to be getting the better of me.
