So many of us have been accused on here of wanting a Glorious Revolution. Let's get out with it!

[Summer Hathaway]

17. Wow.

It's hard to not take seriously someone who is a "fan" of the French Revolution. No doubt you own the T-shirt, the boxed DVD set with never-before-seen footage, and have a framed poster of Sydney Carton on your bedroom wall.

Your vision is so glamorous, so melodramatic, so enticing - and completely devoid of any understanding of the human misery involved, before and after the fact. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, the world is quite a different place than it was in the 18th Century.

First off, your persecution complex is as annoying as it is unwarranted. "So many of us have been accused on here of wanting a Glorious Revolution." Really? So many of you? Name them.

"So let me explain what is going to happen to America instead." This is followed by a doom-and-gloom scenario that is a cross between a Rapture Ready diatribe and the lunatic ravings of a down-and-out evangelist who still sells his snake-oil wares from under a tent in places where a good Revivalist Meetin' is still the only show in town.

"Meanwhile, we sit on the DU and whine about it ..." No, WE don't sit on DU and whine - YOU do. And you do so without any explanation as to why you are not too busy elsewhere, walking the walk instead of talking the talk, to find the time to tell other people what THEY should be doing.

Your ignorance about the way of the world is only surpassed by your arrogance in assuming that you can predict the future - a future you dream will come about, just so you can say I told you so, regardless of the consequences you naively envision as an HBO Special - complete with an all-star cast, fabulous costumes, dramatic dialogue - and the occasional spillage of real blood, just to keep it authentic.

Real revolution, here in the 21st Century, takes place every day in small incremental steps towards common goals. It is a slow but steady process by which people identify the challenges that must be met - and meet them, one at a time. It does not move forward at a pace that crushes the downtrodden for the sake of made-for-TV drama, but in ways that allow for thought, introspection, and ultimately an unstoppable movement towards change for the better.

I cannot help but note your comment that "Democrats, unlike Republicans, turn on each other at the drop of a hat, and stay at each other's throats constantly." As someone who has taken every opportunity to trash the current POTUS and his policies, the irony of your statement is something to be savored.
