VI:
The Bundy ranch incident firstly, represented more to the right wing than this gay hating bitch. The Bundy ranch incident was about the BLM intrusion on land/grazing rights. Look back on right wing history, every stand-off with law enforcement has had to do with infringement of private property and sovereign land rights. Even McVeigh's attack is most certainly retribution for Koresh (a trespassing issue as Koresh saw it). In the end though, if the NG had have shown up, would those with a bead on the authorities at Bundie ranch have wanted to be slaughtered? I doubt it. Again, bunch of right wing AWB men jumped into trucks armed to the teeth to settle a dispute in the tiny South African land-locked sovereign nation of bophuthatswana, and when the BP military showed up they threw down their guns and surrendered.
which brings me to your next point - the revolution. You're comparing people fighting a foreign government with foreign soldiers vs people here who would have to shoot at their own son or father in the US military. The Civil War would be a far better comparison, but even then, the comparison of numerical military support is not even considerable. The South despite being no where near as organized did well tactically but failed strategically because they did not enjoy the same support the North did - period. And it would be no different now in any way. Back then the grays had almost the same gear as the north on the battlefield, now - are,you kidding? Drones alone would wipe out Kentucky.
