What kind of revolution appeals most to you?

I can't vote, as none of your poll options include Republican genocide. [:/] I guess I'll have to go without a revolution. :(



See what you don't know is that is what GITMO will be used for now. But it'll be cool cuz it is coming from Obama and deemed political and social cleansing.

I wouldn't count on it.

For the record, I don't really want to see all of the Republicans killed off. While it may sound like a good idea, Republicans are people too, and genocide is generally wrong.

I do find it hilarious that people would actually consider a revolution because their boy didn't get elected.

The poll is stupid as it presumes those are the only kinds available.

I especially like how Hanity can't seem to get it into his thick skull that every 4 years we can have a revolution by voting.

Thanks for clarifying that!

A lot of my favorite people are Republicans ... some even pretty far-right wing ones.

And I suspect, if such came to pass, I would have to join an American version of the French resistance ... or maybe the Norwegian resistance: Operation Gunnerside took out the German heavy water plant. Very important.

No problem. I think they each should get a chance in a reeducation camp first. :P

They could be subjected to such horrible tortures as Mathematics, Biology, and Civics until they see the error of their ways. ;)

You are too kind. I would give them Statistics and Thermodynamics.
My reality and yours are quite different.

Velvet revolution. Pretty narrow minded options.



As I said in the original post.... It was just something I found on Sean Insanities website.. did you read some of the OTHER posts there by his followers???

Narrow minded does not even come close to covering their mindset.

I've made a 6 figure income for the last 20 years, work hard, pay MY own way, paid off my house, pay my taxes without whining, have never been unemployed since leaving school, and consider myself left of center:P

I'd suggest giving the righties (particularly those in the red states) lessons in paying their share of federal expenses and not expecting taxpayers in the blue states to subsidize them.

I didn't bother, I looked saw a load of right wing nutter crap and pressed the little white x in the top right corner of the screen. Racist paranoid loons.

I gotta love all of you and hope that your comments are deeply cloaked in sarcasm. Otherwise one would have to admit that narrow mindedness is a two way street ;)

And before everyone goes off on me being a right wing nut case let me point out again that I have been and voted Libertarian since 1976 and I see whack job crap on both sides of the fence that divides American politics...

Those options are way to narrow. Different situations call for different measures. In the case of say, IdI Amin, whatever revolution can be pulled off. In the case of removing some of the goofs we've elected here in the USA, all you have to do is vote.

I think you'd learn soon enough that those are the cornerstone of Mathematics. The previous commenters concerns are often addressed, though perhaps not extensively enough, in Civics.

I can't say I'm surprised about the lack of awareness.

By no means will they be subjected to history. We don't want them thinking that this crap has been tried lots of times before and failed.

Above all - authority should never ever be questioned by the right! Only the left are entitled to do so because only the left wing is objectively correct in anything. We know this because the left is the only side smart enough to know what is best for everyone.

Better not question it if you know what's good for you.

Note: the right did the same thing while they were in charge. The left and right merely have different freedoms they want to strip. Working together they can take them all.

Free market? It has only failed when there has been insufficient regulation. Without that regulation, things get bad in a hurry, as history has demonstrated on more than one occasion, e.g. the Great Depression and FDR's New Deal, which brought us out of it.

One thing is certain, deregulation was a bad idea, even when Clinton supported it.

I think it has more to do with the left wanting to preserve positive liberty (freedom of opportunity), while the right is primarily concerned with negative liberty (property rights).

Hmmm. self regulation was actually working great! ...til the Clinton administration decided to push for the subprime loans to help the lower class out. Ticking time bomb and look where we are!

I still maintain from a fiscal standpoint, the left has theories that would make the cat in the hat giggle.
