Well, OK, I don't agree with that interpretation of the 2nd but presumably they do, so that begs the question, why aren't they shooting?
As our liberties erode faster than the east coast shoreline, it's amazing to see how few people actually realize it.

IMHO, this government will eventually fail just like every other government that has existed on earth has in the past. I don't think we or our system are so superior to prevent this from happening.
Whether the breakup is peaceful or not depends on how much force the corrupt polititians use to try to stay in power. It hasn't gotten bad enough yet but the erosion of our liberty is certainly moving in the wrong direction. When (not if) it gets bad enough, people will revolt. We probably have a long way to go before that happens. Hopefully the breakup will be as peaceful as the Soviet Union's was.
