This just won't fly, Bob, it isn't in there nor is it implied.
We were a cash cow colony in revolt then against progressively oppressive and uncaring distant oversight. We are far from that extreme today with Syria as one bad example.
Revolution is absolutely a last resort with a very uncertain outcome, we were very fortunate here to have done better than most.
The Federal gov't wouldn't tolerate an armed insurrection and would use any means necessary to crush it, as it did in the 1860s. The answer is restoring a representative gov't that also protects the right of the minority while representing the legitimate interests of the majority under law.
If it's broke, fix it. Otherwise, get what we get letting the Golden Rule prevail. (Those with the gold, rule, "Fuck you, I've got mine".)
