Of course, this is a real threat, and of course, we are totally not prepared! We, (well our military geniuses) are bust making guns bombs and tanks that will defend us in the next Korean ?War, but leave our borders open and refuse to believe that the enemy will attack from within. They are all too busy fighting for oil in the middleast! Dolts.
It's okay, though, the revolution will not be televised nor will it be online or on cellphones. It will be fought on the ground between those who have guns and ammuvition, and good field sense and paper communication. The air bomb will just serve the beginning of the fight. The enemy is twofold" The one who set the bomb, and the other being the U.S. Gov.
It will not be an easy fight, but without fancy electronics, Big Gov hasn't a chance!
