Revolution

8:36 am on Tuesday, December 13, 2005

In response to this Instapundit post on an article more or less call for revolution against the ‘bush regime’ in Salon, Ace of Spades HQ, had this say:

when disaffected, no-account fantasy-race-warriors joined militia movements in the nineties, the media was all a-twitter at this dangerous threat to our nation’s stability. Nevermind that the movement was decidedly fringe and small, and that a lot of the people involved weren’t particularly hard-core politically. They just liked running around the woods with guns (which, I have to admit, sounds kind of fun).

But when mainstream left-liberals write of violent revolution in not-at-all-fringe left-liberal magazines, no one in the media seems particularly bothered.

I honestly have to agree with the media here.  Even a few heavily armed ‘militia’ folks could present serious problems.  Does anyone really worry about a ‘violent’ liberal revolt though?  These people don’t even own guns, let alone know how to use them effectively.

Oh come one… there are at least as many liberals as conservatives in the military–or so my liberal friends always tell me–so they clearly know how to lead an armed insurrection…

exactly

“Oh come one… there are at least as many liberals as conservatives in the military–”

So the army conservites and the army liberals would cancel each other out.

My bets would be the liberals would pick up the classic AK-47 and them be shoot from 200 yards away with the conservitive’s m-16.

Secondly, since most (hard core) liberals live in a few urban states, To attack the conservtives they would have to go find them in the woods, i doubt that would work out. They could even try to wear red so that they would not shoot each other, and maybe walk in formation the entire battle.

I was being sarcastic, in case you couldn’t tell.

For more on my thoughts on this matter, read this. Unfortunately, the server hosting the images is no more, and I’m not sure if I maintained copies anywhere—but you can still get the gist of it.

I say: Bring it! I will have my supersoaker loaded with Holy Water ready for ‘em!

Woops – wrong movie.

I will move into the mountains with some freinds and become a warrior for justus after the paratroop…

Ahhh never mind.
