Paleo Call to Arms:

"Who represents the dissenters?

They are locked out of the political system, ignored by both major political parties, and without a voice in Washington. But that is a dangerously elitist policy to pursue, one that could easily provoke a populist revolt. Think of the recent upsurge in California, where voters recalled a sitting governor and went outside the political establishment for new leadership – and then imagine it on a national scale. Lacking a national recall mechanism to rein in the out-of-control clique at the helm of our foreign policy, however, the rising opposition to this rotten war has no legitimate outlet – until the pressure bursts the bounds of legitimacy.

That's what they call a revolution."
