Perhaps you would have them returned to slavery?

You guys/liberals are famous for taking something out of context and then trying to twist it into your sick agendas.

Somewhere in the world, right now, there is a person in bondage. A slave. How many people are you willing to kill to free this person?

So armed resistance to tyranny is not legitimate?

How do you reconcile your refusal to kill people to free slaves with the Founders willingness to kill people to resist oppression a very great deal less extreme than slavery? Actually, the Founders revolted more against potential future oppression than against actual oppression. Yet I presume you find their resistance legitimate.

American foreign history for the last 70 years has been very largely that of resistance to those who enslave others. In WWII we destroyed two groups of slavers, in the Cold War and its many brush fire offshoots we resisted, at the risk of destruction of the world and eventually successfully, another group of slavers.

So how many people am I willing to kill to free slaves? As many as necessary. If they don't want to die, I suggest they not fight to defend an evil institution.
