She should turn the question around to Begala: “Do you believe that there is EVER a time to protect your life against the government?”

Do you believe that the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto had that right?

Do you believe the people of the Soviet Union, and all the other countries under Marxist enslavement, had that right against the Communist government?

Do you believe that America’s founders had that right when they picked up arms in defense of their liberties?

Do you believe that slaves in America had that right when the government made their enslavement a matter of law?

If you want debate exactly when the line is crossed where people are justified in resorting to force against an out-of-control government determined to crush their liberties and steal their property, Mr. Begala, that is certainly a debate worth having.

People can disagree on when that line is crossed.

But that doesn’t justify your own apparent position that people are the government’s property and must bow down in slavish obedience to whatever outrages the lawless perpetrators of government-imposed tyranny cram down our throats.

Or maybe you agree with your buddy Bill Clinton, who famously said: “The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people.”

Well, Mr. Begala, the people await your answer.
