Obama's America 2016

[quasarvs]

It's a quote by Claire Wolfe she's a Libertarian writer who is quite well known in some circles. Clair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wolfe

The quote captures the feeling that things are already beyond repair and eventually patriots may have to rise up and re-take the country to fix it's ills. It also invokes the fact that we (Americans) once had to do this by force (the British).

Not much different than Jefferson's quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

Thank you for explaining that quote. It clears the meaning up for me of what gnpine was talking about.

Yes, I do agree in principle with Jefferson's thought; however I had often viewed that from the perspective of Americans helping others or others helping themselves by fighting their own tyrants.
I consider the Revolution in America a one time thing, and regarding gnpine's comment, I fear that because the country is so liberal and divided over issues that another "Revolution" would turn out looking like the French revolution did; rather than turning out to be a revival of traditional American principles and ideas regarding freedom and responsibility and government.
(gnpine): Maybe that's what you meant by too soon... Regardless,

I honestly hold out hope that if Americans can learn,
--through good "teachers", in other words those who care about America and are passionate about politics and those who are willing to be winsome and win others to their point of view--
to be active and responsible citizens in their government, then America can truly return to its original principles.
Those principles that you're talking about gnpine.
