I was doing some dinking on Google and plugged in pork and revolution and here are a few results I found. I say few because there are a lot of them. My thoughts are at the end.
Big Bend Bikers for Freedom has mused -
I wonder if the Corporate Government Coalition is aware of the seeds of revolution they are planting.
Over at A Savage Experience -
You can pour sugar on a turd, but it’s still going to taste like shit.
We need another revolution.
From Liberty Maven we have – (Emphasis his)
The rot in the republic is quite deep, I have always thought that we need a “vast minority” of everyone outraged before real change, Revolution-type Change, not Obama-change, could occur. In a way, with the November 4th election still pending, I argue this could be the best thing that could happen to the Revolution as it will spark public outrage (as it should!!).
Commentor “J” over at Everything is Miscellaneous posted -
The extravagant arrogant power brokers have won a win fall here at your expense. They got the news while they sat at lunch having lobster and caviar and a nice bottle of $5000 dollar wine for lunch. The relief they must have felt made many of them cancel their stress relief therapy and jump on that jet for home. Geeze that flight from the island to New York must have been a tough on them. Then to have to make a pen stroke and meet with the board to shake some hands and kiss some butt well that deserves a bonus. Revolution is about the only answer the world seems to understand when your rights have been stripped away and the rich sit in a palace and scoff at you on Main Street.
America has become so blind that we have let this system take over and ruin your dream of a good life.
Mama Sez posted a good article that I needed to share – (Emphasis hers)
Let me share with you an excerpt from a study guide I am using to prepare for my upcoming teaching skills test….this is a description of the causes of the French Revolution, and to some degree the American Revolution. The point is, the people revolted when they were basically sick of being screwed.
“…the increased criticism (as a result of the Enlightenment period) directed toward government inefficiency and corruption, and toward the privileged classes…the ‘First Estate’ and ‘Second Estates’ (nobility and clergy), representing only two percent of the total population…the ‘Third Estate’ (working class and everybody else), who bore the entire burden of taxation and the imposition of feudal obligations. As economic conditions worsened…and the French state became poorer and totally dependent on the poorest and most (economically) depressed sections of the economy for support at the very time the tax base had become separated…..This in turn produced a government that was irresponsible and inefficient, with a tax system that was unjust and inequitable and without any means of redress because of the absence of any meaningful representative assembly.”
These are only a few of the posts I’ve found on blogs from across America. They all share one point: a warning of revolution.
We, that’s the collective and Royal “We”, have been screwed by our government, again. We have OUR money, $2300 for each American, going to Wall Street and the bankers, fininacial houses and investment firms. We have it going there without our consent. We have an additional $100 + billion going to other programs that are not even remotely related to this “Emergency Bail Out” of Wall Street(1) .
Its time that We stand up and say enough is enough. Its time to vote out every member of the House and Senate who voted for this piece of crap legislation. Yes, that includes BOTH of the major parties candidates for President. I don’t care who you vote for as long as its not ANYONE who voted for this abomination. Its time to finally hold those We elected accountable for their actions.
Its time for Revolution.

It’s the hoax of “leadership” that’s at fault. Lemmings vote for a “leader”, then introject the leader so that a criticism of the leader is felt to be an attack on them.
“I voted for that guy, stop bitching about him” = lemming talk.
Stop seeking leaders, political parties, and domination systems. Solve your own problems, in spite of what government does or does not do.
A real revolution will be to overthrow our addiction to Leaders As Problem Solvers, who only mislead and betray us.
We need a pure democracy without the “limited monarchy” (-Thomas Jefferson) of a President.
We are seeing The People vs. The Rulers, CEOs and Establishment.
Note how the government ignores the will of The People. What does our constitution say we are to do now?
A way to use your vote to send a clear and convincing message to every politician in America.
However to engage in this campaign requires 3 things:
1. An acceptance of the fact that no political party is solely to blame for the current state of the country. They are all slurping at the pig trough kept full by our sweat.
2. The ability to move beyond personal ideological bias for the good of the country. It means that you/I may have to vote for somebody we do not support and against somebody we do. But consider this. All of us are usually choosing between the lessor of two evils.
3. Action, ya got to do it and encourage others to do it.
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
Simple. Vote against every incumbent. Regardless of party affiliation. Of course since we do not have an incumbent president you will have at least one choice.
WHY THIS WILL WORK?
As people start posting this campaign on their blogs, websites, and mailing lists. As they start doing the FWD gig, sooner or later the press is gonna get hold of it. Sooner or later if enough do it, they are going to report on it. “IF” enough actually follow through with it you will hear the talking heads on campaign night talking about how the PEOPLE of AMERICA have sent a loud and clear message politicians on both sides of the ISLE.
THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THEIR COWARDLY INCOMPETENCE AND OVERT DESTRUCTION OF THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE! WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
We also let them know that two years from now when the next elections come up we are going to do the exact same thing. We, the American people are cleaning house.
You don’t think this can work? Imagine how fast these suckers will start scrambling to get things right if they knew that if they didn’t they would not be in office long enough to get rich off of us.
Now you can ignore this message as the ravings of a mad man. Or you can keep doing what you have always done and be assured that you will keep getting what you have always got. SCREWED!
Yes we know that it means you may actually have to break years of tradition and vote for somebody in the party that makes you puke. But ask yourself a question, what has loyalty to any particular party got you to date? I thought so. So pass it on, and send the bums in Washington a clear message. One they can not helbp ut listen to.
Do not be separate along party lines. But Unite as Americans
