I agree regarding the belief in reported poll results.
I'd have to see the way the questions were worded, the number of people polled, and probably their demographics to give much weight to the "results".
The number polled in the one question is given, but I can imagine getting those results if the polling was conducted at about closing time at several southside bars. Probably a good smattering of Elvis sightings and several accounts of alien abductions as well. Might not be entirely accurate when extrapolated to the population at large, though. 8^)

What's more is...those are only the people who are willing to admit it. That's not the kind of thing I'd go spouting in public, even if I believed it...which I might, or might not...  |

Who really knows?? Where this poll was taken, be it from a rural or urban area, would command different polling results. I would think if there were actually an "up-rising" or revolution, it would occur in large cities with a polulation of more than 100,000.

Part could be from disenfranchised leftists that will NOT get all that Obama promises. His more tax on the rich and give to the poor and/or lazy is unsustainable. The house of cards will fall.

I'm not sure anyone really knows, but I've talked to more than a dozen "experts" in rebellion, and they say large cities would experience some terrorism, but a real revolution would start in rural areas, and in small cities. We'll see. |

I really feel that if the political climate does not make a change within 5 years, we'll see an uprising. I can't imagine anyone hoping for it, but it may be inevitable. I think a couple years ago, I heard Obama talk about needing a civilian army. The quickest way to start an uprising is to attempt to take away our guns. They've been trying for years. It's how they get anything done typically, a little at a time. Like boiling a frog starting with warm water, we don't realize it too late before it is.
I know that the day that they come for my guns is probably the day that I will die. Of course, this is easy for me to say, because my daughter is almost grown. If I had young kids, I'm not sure what I would say or do.

I'm not so sure about the uprising in the near future - plenty of apathy around and people with their hands out. I wouldn't be surprised if something did happen that it wouldn't be more like the road Greece has gone down.

Yes, I could be wrong. I'm typically an optimist. We already have the warm water and heat, but we're missing the catalyst. I see the changing demographic as the warm water, and interacting variables (economy, political polarization, religion, corruption, etc) as the heat, but we're missing the catalyst (natural disaster, emp, solar flare, etc),the fuel that increases the heat to a boiling point. I don't think there will be enough interacting variables to make us boil. War usually unites us for a while, but resolve is something we lack.
Again, I could be dead wrong; I was once. :-) We could be returning to the glory days, but this optimist just can't see it. It's a bad analogy on my part.
