Will a revolution be cause by people like me? People who like to think for themselves and for the good of our country as a whole? People who dont buy into the political ******** were fed? People who truly believe in whats right, not what puts money in your pocket? Well then, yes... the revolution will be cause by people like myself.

Plus, Washington and the founding fathers would probably be in shock- not because of the fact that our country is so "messed up" as we call it, but because they based this country on the belief in and faith in GOD. Believe it or not, this country was founded on the principle that God exists, and people just do not want to believe that.

I know that, and am not disagreeing in any way. I believe thats another one of this countrys problems.

I do think that the founding fathers would be surprised with how unlike a melting pot this country has become. That was the old adage- "the US is like a melting pot because everyone comes here and becomes one thing, American."

Now, all we have is a tossed salad. Every group of citizens wants to keep its heritage, so we don't have America, or Americans anymore. There is no sense of unity, because all of the other peoples from around the world want to keep their customs. They don't call themselves Americans. No, they are "African Americans", "Latin Americans", etc etc etc. Until the day comes when our country becomes a melting pot again rather than the tossed salad that it is, we will always have these stupid problems arise.

Exactly, see my "racial barriers" statement. Political correctness, affirmative action, and many other things designed to make people feel more comfortable are EXACTLY whats tearing this country APART. YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT GIVE ANYONE SPECIAL TREATMENT OVER SOMEONE ELSE, or there will be problems. If EVERYONE here (legally) was just considered an American citizen and given NO special treatment because of their religion, heritage or skil color, MANY of this countrys problems would disappear.

And theres absolutley nothing wrong with stocking up of firearms. Its our second ammendment right, so why souldnt we? Criminals have firearms, and so should every citizen. Then maybe criminals would think twice. Theres no way around it, guns arent going anywhere. You can ban them all you want, that means the only people who wont have them are law abiding citizens.
