And they did not kick the US military's ass. They kicked the ass of a handfull of special forces guys. They had a huge advantage of numbers and were up against troops that did not have the required support. Sure, they won that battle. If we'd been stupid enough to continue the fight, one B-52 would have all but destroyed them.

The people involved in Blackhawk Down, by and large, wanted to continue the battle. Nice to know you consider them "stupid." And, of course, one nuke would have all but destroyed Vietnam. Does that mean we didn't get run out of there, either?

And might I add we've already seen a prime example of an uprising against the US government that went horribly wrong. It was called the civil war and the south got their asses handed to them.

This is beautiful. When I mention Teddy Kennedy, I'm told it's ancient history, but you go all the way back to the Civil war, when they were using muskets and muzzle-loaders, and relate that to today's weapons. Outstanding job!

That simply doesn't make sense, and nonsensical, quasi-paranoid arguments are not going to bring the general public around to your point of view.

Especially if the public makes the mistake of believing the warped viewpoint you present to them.
