He who plans revolution had better succeed. Otherwise, he faces a mountain of trouble.

One thing I respect the signers of the Declaration of Independence for is how they were aware the consequences of defeat.

…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

They knew very well that defeat meant the gallows, confiscation of their property, and the shame of defeat. They knew what they were getting into.

Failure at insurrection historically means that legal recognition of the rebel’s property rights becomes forfeit. Andrew Johnson’s amnesty for rebel southerners was an exception. I have no doubt that Barack Obama is a revolutionary. I also have no doubt that Barack Obama would like to redistribute property of his enemies to his supporters. So, it would be wise to note that he may not be averse to provoking his enemies into open revolt so he would have a valid pretext to gain title to rebel property.

Against a man such as Obama, it is not only important to stand up for one’s principles. It is important to win. I intend to win inside the present constitutional system. This is partly because I believe in the present constitutional system and this is partly because I think it would be easier to defend our rights within the present constitutional system than outside of it.
