We did the same thing the Egyptians did?

I've seen many comments lately saying we should riot in the streets like the Egyptians.

So it happens. What would Obama, Biden, the Senate, and the Congress do?

Would they all resign?
Would they use the military and police to crush the rebellion?
Would we get a lot of talk while America burned?

What would they do?

1. Depends on what the demands were...
   
imo in order to be successful people would have to very organized with a clear set of democratic changes they were demanding - things like verifiable voting, public financing of elections, overturning Citizens United, etc.

Would the prez order a military response to demands like those? Hopefully not.

Leftists organized?   :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

2. Wait for Glenn Beck and the Tea Party to go home?

This DUmmie admits that the left isn't well organized and that the Tea Party had larger crowds. What they  fail to mention is that the Tea Party didn't go home, they went to the ballot box.  :lmao:

It's new but unlikely to grow much.

Thundley, that's because you're a sane person.  We're dealing with DUmb****s here--insecure, cellar-dwelling wretches.

Well MORON, I suggest you and your DUmmy friends camp outside the White House until the corrupt and illegitimate Obama regime falls and the government is turned over to a military junta, because that's all that was accomplished in Egypt.

I'll be cheering for ya, and watching the action on Current TV with Keef.

They really don't want that to happen, as our military for the most part thinks "W" was an excellent Commander In Chief!

DUmmies never think beyond their current wants and demands! Consequences are some kind of holy water/vampire to these idiots!

They always think if they get what they want today, it will be there tomorrow by default. Doesn't matter what the rest of us think or want, only what they have accomplished for the first 15 minutes of their supposed revolution. After that, it's goin' to be the same forever! just ask 'em!

So basically, since DUmbasses never think that far ahead, ALL consequences are UNINTENDED consequences to a DUmbshit?
