American conservatives are not preparing for a revolution. Crazy and paranoid morons are. I have some liberal views (support gay marriage, legalization of cannabis, etc.) and some conservative views (against abortion, support stricter immigration reform, opposed to public healthcare etc.). I own a gun. I am not planning to overthrow our government. I think Obama is twenty pounds of shit in a ten pound bag. I think he is more of a terran than an American. I wish he wasn't President, but if I killed him then what would I be? A fascist. A tyrant. As bad as Obama is, the people who would assasinate him are even worse, because he's still our President. Quit being so fucking paranoid. Unlike the british in our Revolution, our professional military is well trained in asymmetric warfare.
I agree that both sides are being overly paranoid. This topic is an example of liberal paranoia; here's some conservative paranoia: Obama is cutting funding F-22 funding and increasing Army funding, because when it comes time for him to take over the country and turn the US into a fascist police state, ground troops will be infintely more useful than multi-million dollar fighters.
See? Anything can be turned into anything else. Let's not lose our cool people.
