Well. It's official. We lost.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
You didn't just lose...you've always been losers.
EMatahari is a little unclear about the meaning of the word "volunteer."

108. Campaign volunteers cannot create jobs unless they get paid
and jobs is why we lost the House.
So people who give free labor need to get paid in sufficient numbers to reverse the Great Recession.
Got it.

60. To quote Carlin...
"It's the American dream- you have to be asleep to believe it"
Carlin made his living producing nothing of tangible value in exchange for more wealth than he could eat provided by people with disposable income earned in the society he denigrated.
**** him

13. The mistake we sometimes make is thinking politicians have anything in common with
the majority of the nation. Most have significant financial holdings and are insular to the rest of the population. I don't care what anyone says, if "they" aren't feeling the pain directly, they aren't feeling it. Americans are herded like sheep today. And we get a lot of lip service, and the great leaders this country once had have long since passed.
TEA party says the same thing.

48. This nation is being led off of a cliff by a bunch of ignorant, petulant children.
If the depression hasn't already hit you, get ready, because it's coming.
I can't help but think if the government would stop spending my money for me I would spend more of it myself and that would help my fellow Americans avoid this Depression you squeal of.
Now it gets good:

52. Voting doesn't work, writing letters doesn't work, calling doesn't work,
posting on blogs doesn't work, and marching in the streets doesn't work. We're DEAD to these ****ers. What's left??
If you aren't self-immolating on TV you aren't trying hard enough!

126. As opposed to voting for Obama in 2008? But, I get your point. And we'd lose a revolution anyway.
They'd mow us down in the streets and whoever remained would be even more sheeplike than Americans are now.
Pretty much.

100. Time for pitchforks and torches.
And maybe the guillotine. Teach of few of those rich bastards a lesson they won't soon forget.
You should listen to No Elephants. You're bringing pitchforks, we'll bring our 2A rights.

These chowder heads, sit at their computers in safety chanting "revolution", yet would shit their pants if one actually occurred.

Nancy P., “It is clear we must enter an era of austerity...."
...and she knows of what she speaks. She has lost her private jet rides and all that taxpayer paid for booze and food on it. Oh, how she has sacrificed.

Brevik gave them what they wanted and what people like Bill Ayers failed to achieve and yet they quailed.

Don't despair, DUmmy, when you translate her statement into English, it simply says "Increase taxes."

Oh man. They're really turning on her over there, including her wardrobe, her black pearls and her investment wealth.
It's a good read. I've been wondering when they'd open their eyes to all the filthy rich democrats.

92. Revolution.
Remember what you fools want to revolt for, I.e. other people's property (wealth is property, DUmbasses). If there is a revolt, you'll be outnumbered by the people who want to keep their property.
Try it, fools. Please.

Odin the imposter and his mouthbreathing horde need to be culled...

DUmbasses, you really need to be careful what you wish for. The day you push decent, hard working, God fearing, civilized human beings into a corner where the only obstacle between them and safety is you will be the day you get to experience all of the violence and chaos you have been clamoring for all these years.
Only it won't play out in reality like it does in the movie that runs through your head.
I promise you, DUmbasses, that if you continue on this path, the blood you finally taste will be your own.
Think long and hard, children...

Not quite, you poor stupid tool, your mistake lies in thinking DUers have anything in common with the majority of the nation.

Well she has certainly cemented her hold on the title of the DUmbest person on all of the internet.

Pitchforks and guillitones, eh? Good thing there are NO "fringe leftists" on DU.

Acquiring pitchforks and guillotines is way too much work for these slackers.....

If they could just find a way for Uncle Sam to provide it for them, they'll revolt any minute now.

Pitchforks are the symbol of Big Farm.

"Time for pitchforks and torches.

But don't forget, it's REALLY the conservative Tea Partiers who are violent extremists that use dangerous rhetoric and openly promote violence!
As others have noted, how far the DUmmies clamoring for revolution have divorced themselves from reality is really quite stunning.
In their minds, it'll be a wonderful, triumphant movement in which everybody will join them, the only ones opposed to them will be the evil rich people and the police, the opposition will be defeated without so much as a single casualty on their own side, and they'll go on to become the leaders of their Socialist utopia.
In reality, however, things will be a little different.
The opposition will be immense, mainly from regular people (Liberal and conservative alike) opposed to their psychotic vision, many of whom are well- trained in operating guns and able to instruct those who aren't. This, of course, is in addition to the police and National Guard who have excellent crowd- control training. Should the DUmmie would- be revolutionaries not crap their pants and retreat/ surrender at the sight of this opposition (Which would almost certainly be how they'd react) and actually get violent, they would be annihilated in a day or two, and the ones lucky enough to still be alive would likely be looking at VERY long terms in "Federal, pound- me- in- the- @$$ prison."
