The Empire are weak. Underlings to the arrogant Elves of the south. While under the Imperial yoke we are then underlings of underlings and that cannot stand for men of our worth!

Our Leader, Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Winhelm, knows this and shares your desire for freedom! For independance and opportunity and pride! Fight to make Nirn greater than the Empire allows, fight with the Stormcloaks! Fight so that you can live at least a few days as free men and women before the Thalmor utterly annihilate you because the Empire is no longer holding them back!

Dude, I could not have said that better myself. The Stormcloaks are so arrogant and strongly believe that they are capable of taking on the Aldmeri Dominion. If the AD have emerged victorious over the Empire, what makes Ulfric think that his army can avoid making the same mistake of the past.

The Stormcloaks' pride and arrogance won't help them when they are reduced to a pile of ash. After which Skyrim would submit to AD rule, considering that there are no more capable fighters to protect Skyrim.
