Does anyone feel a revolution brewing in the US?

Actually I sense revolution but not over the last election divide--electoral majorities come and go....

Where i see the potential revolution is much more serious that politics..its economic.

If you look carefully the new jobs being created are not high paying, high skilled, except for a very few. What we are seeing is wage depression, and a large number of burger flippers, bedpan emptiers. day laborers and what not...the important jobs are held by a small technological elite. THe gap between rich and poor grows, there is a growing number of people falling on the bottom side of the economic divide. IT now takes two incomes to remain just middle class, more people are going without medical benefits/health care, etc...

Then look at education, we are pouring more money into schools than ever before, testing the heck out of kids and yet they are coming out unable to read, write and add. THe schools are failing and turning out more burger flippers and bed pan emptiers than great thinkers and inventors....

These disparities when they get extreme enough (and they are growing more extreme yearly) will eventually lead to a French Revolution type scenario...very different than our original revolution which was prosecuted on our side by rich and middle class men.

This is what to watch out for in the nearer future.

By revolution, if you mean that the populace with rid ourselves of the Constitution, then you could not be any more mistaken. However, there will be a a populist movement - I say within 10 years - whose agenda will be primarily economic. It will be a peaceful, democratic revolt against the globalization of trade and finance. Such institutions as the WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, IMF, and the World Bank will become irrelevant to an economically nationalist America. It will be a reigning in of multi-national corporations and "outsourcing" of American jobs and industries.

Internationalism and inter-connectedness will be rejected in favor of national sovereignty - fuel independence will result. The new economy will provide for a more equal distribution of wealth among the citizenry by the means of trade parameters and will include among other egalitarian features a flat tax.

The primary motivators for this movement will be the extremes of an increasingly unbalanced distribution of wealth and evidence of a failing of the Social Security program which will spotlight for Americans the need for financial independence into retirement.

No doubt, the red feds are sticking it to the blue states. The first revolution was mainly about taxes. So I guess there won't be a new revolution until more people fall into the Alternative Minimum Tax or Social Security goes broke.

Funny! I feel the same way when I watch CNN ie. the Clinton news network.. Oh yea that was the news agency that claimed that they had to surpress the truth in Bagdad during Husain era to keep their news agency from being shut down. They are nothing but left wing, psyco pathic, hate filled, news twisting, farcicle news reporting agency supported by the vast left wing political organization of Screaming Howard Dean and the Rev.Jesse Jackson. Oh yea another good one! Jesse was counseling Bill Clinton when he was a hoe up in the White house at the same time making a love child ( We use to call it a bastard). But that was the Whitehouse ( ie whorehouse) under Bill and Hilliary( I cannot remember anything) Clintons. Thanks God those jokers are out along with the rest of the retards that supported him.

I feel a revolution of some sort is brewing. There are more and more people around me who aren't happy and many of whom are irretrievably miserable. People are being lied to about how "great" the economy is, when all people can find are burger flipping type jobs ... and I don't doubt that this is going to get under enough people's skin that a revolution is entirely possible. If anybody is planning one, just let us all know ... I certainly want to tag along.

I personly don't think there would be a revolution any time soon the whole united states is divided between the democrats and republicans they are both fighting over power "Power over" The senate The supreme court" Theres no need for a revolution

No, because I felt the same thing 20 years ago. There will be a revolution when the middle class is non-existant, but that is a slow process.

There is polarization but not to the point of revolution, if another NEOCON takes the White House in 2008, who knows?

Becare full with this... your going to get slammed by the right-wing with stuff saying your committing treason and stuff... The thing these people need to remember is that the founders of this country revolted because they did not want to pay taxes, and that disagreeing with the government... But to answer the question... No, revolution is not necessary but reform most definitely is.

It is a possibility. but I think most Americans cannot deal with the violence. It is okay to wish bloody hell on people in the middle east, but quite another thing if it would occur here.

i wonder what I would do if a revolution began. hmmm
