Of course, there is the other 95% to consider. They would certainly take up arms against you, eh?
No. As I said, those dissatisfied with the government are in the majority and it only took 5% of the population of America to overthrow the English. The others did not take up arms against the true American patriots who were fighting for freedom just as they wouldn't now. In fact very few of those in the military right now would fire on Americans fighting for freedom and trying to make government adhere to the limits on their powers in the Constitution if ordered to do so.

If any free country such as Radar posits ever existed, it would be assailed constantly on all sides by every radical faction on the planet, seeking to overturn it for either appearing weak or being too open and liberal.
It did exist, and I'm living in the same location where it existed. The country I describe was right here in America and it turns out we weren't attacked on all sides because we're neutral. Just as Switzerland hasn't been attacked even though they're surrounded by war.
