I think its unfortunate that he's so racially oriented. I'm anti-race, and I tend to find myself disgusted by racially oriented rhetoric on any side of the political spectrum. Personally I wouldn't assocaite with any person of this character. I'm also concerned with most folks who call for revolution, or otherwise fan the flames of violence. Generally I don't hear the motives of the founding fathers in their rehtoric nor a mind for our best interest, typically I hear only hate and a lust for destruction. I suspect such violence would only justify crackdowns "in the name of public safety", and give plausable moral authority to those who would use force to further an agenda. I don't see it as a value added or successful path to securing our liberties, rather I see it as a devastating loss to both our liberties and our nation.
What will make a difference in my view is educating the people about the founding principles of the nation. The very principles that secured our liberty in the first place and allowed our nation to be so successful. Education about empowerment of the individual, and how too much power over the people from any source, be it a company, a church, or a government is a peril to the liberties of all. Education that we have the power and the responsibility with our VOTE to prevent entities from usurping their legitimate roles and seeking mastery over the people.
The people still have the power, the trick is convincing them to rise above selfish or short sighted goals, and use it in a lawful manor that preserves and fortifies our liberties. I believe it is possible and our best option.
Sorry if that view angers or upsets anyone. I know some may feel differently, but that's my view.
Crux, my friend, this has taken some thought. As always you respond with a forte that you are know for. I would have to agree with you on the violence part, there is some always ready to start the anarchy in large crowds of people who are upset with the situation, I for one do not wish that kind of action, but I think it is coming.
But I think what he is trying to say is that "We the People" are getting fed up with the way things are being handled by the government, and it is the norm through out history for people to do the un-thinkable when it gets bad.
I myself always prayed that it would not happen in my life time. Well, I am still praying. Given your nature, that I have observed, intelligent and disciplined I understand what you said, and as a fellow martial artist.
You talked about educating people, when most of the population is so wrapped up in their own lives and blind to what is happening around them, I wonder if that course of action is to late.
On the racial point, I think he was pointing to the "white folks" more as that as the majority of educated people (meaning no offense to other races) and the tax paying, hard working people that are paying for all this crap, that we are going to say "enough is enough".
I myself am not a racist, I form my opinion about people as to what they do, if they don't add to the system like most of us, they live off the system without any thought of working for what they get, or the millions that are spent on people that are in this country illegally and get everything handed to them, that is what sets me off.
My mother immigrated to this country and became a citizen, of which she is proud off. Oh hell I am getting off topic......
I don't think you have offended anyone my friend with your view, that is what makes this country great, the freedom to say and think what you want,,, to a point.
And if your view does PO someone, let them eat crow.....and get over it.........

I think "long legged" is self explanatory, as for "mac daddy"
You have to know the big city a little bit. This straight from websters online dictionary.
Mac Daddy
1slang : a conspicuously successful pimp
2slang : a slick womanizer
3slang : one that is the best
I doubt he was referring to 2 or 3, given the person at hand.
