I agree Deanf. In our first revolution there had been much written including the Declaration of Independence to give people information to decide which side they were going to support or if they would stay neutral. As out of control as our gov't is and as fascist as the policies of the Obama administration, there are still a whole helluva lot of things worse than the current US gov't/congress/administration. So to make a blanket agreement to fight against that gov't without knowing what you are fighting for is a really bad idea.
To some extent much of the American citizenry has been now been conditioned (indoctrinated) to vote or fight against things rather than for things. However, if one is considering armed rebellion against the government is VERY important to know what you are fighting FOR as well as against. Lots of people in numerous countries have fought in revolutions against something over the years only to be sorely, painfully, violently disillusioned. A few, such as the colonists in the American Revolution were fighting FOR something and had things turn out far better.
