Something for our homegrown Rambos to ponder. [View All]

During the American Revolution, the British wore red and the revolutionaries (for the most part) wore blue.

During the War of 1812, the British were still wearing red.

During our Civil War, the South wore gray and the north wore blue.

Ahh, the good ole' days when you could tell the enemy by the color of their uniform.

Not a day goes past on which there aren't one or more postings here that shout "Time to take to the streets." (To be honest, I've posted it myself in moments of blind rage.)

Okay, so we all take to the streets and do battle with ... who? Anyone in a Rolls Royce? What if you get George Soros by mistake? Anyone wearing an American flag lapel pin? What if you get some WWII vet who's missed the fact that the world has moved on? Hey, why not go after everyone in Kansas and Texas? We all know what THEY'RE like.

And let's not forget the military people who will also be in the streets. People's sons, daughters, husbands and wives, many of whom are not THEM, but US.

The bottom line is, aside from pols, pundits and Pat Robertson, how are you going to identify "the enemy?" It's easy enough to pick out the loud mouthed dittohead in a barroom, but what about the rest of the wingnuts?

And let's not forget the White House. We can storm it and tear it down, after we get past the tanks and the strafing aircraft. Then what? Do we go hunting for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Frisk, et al one at a time?

For those of you so anxious to "Take to the streets" as step one, please tell me what step 2 is. Damned if I can figure it out.
