"Or are you saying that I'm obligated to put my life on the line to support that bastard in the whitehouse?"

That is correct, if he orders you to. It's the way it goes when having one dude acts as God, President and National Command Authority of the Armed Forces in one single human unit.

Besides, you voted him in.

Really, you did. You may want to forget about it now, but the chance is one in two you bought the compassionate conservative stuff and wanted that paycheck back so you voted him in. So who's the idiot?

Also, why don't USians think in terms of revolting against their commanders if they don't like what they have? Deposing of a bad leadership (and bad laws) is as simple as killing the leaders (or forcing them into exile) and write new laws. It was partly done in Haiti no less than a week or two ago. Change can be done peacefully or violence, which one depends on the collective effort and the responses

The basis of your argument is that you don't want to take the responsibility towards yourself and your fellow americans (and the rest of the world who has to suffer that idiot in the White House) so you take the easy way out and do what is usally done... count your money and blaim the government. Even though the government consists of you and your peers. Change is inevitable, whether you participate in it or not. The difference lies in who's wording that change will use, yours or someone else's.

And please, don't give me no crap about the uselessness about revolting (by force or by participation in politics and issues) - if sewage-eating haitians, guntoting balkanites, shamed jews, funny norwegians or saltlicking indians can revolt and overhaul their land, so can fat-arsed USians.
