Try explaining that to Obama and Congress. You obviously haven't been paying attention of late.
A small point, but the word "terrorist" in its modern meaning did not exist in those days.
Semantics. You know what I meant.
And that's what's meant by a "right of revolution" -- in the face of major provocations and crimes against humanity, and lacking lawful recourse to a representative legislature or courts of justice. Those are not the conditions today, and are unlikely to ever become such.
America will last forever, Obama's a really nice guy, Government is not trampling our inalienable rights and what's going on is just politics as usual. You haven't a freaking clue what time it is pal. You have an incurable case of Normalcy Bias
but any resort to violence will not produce a good result
Some things are with dying for. I guess for you - the promise of safety and security is enough to placate.
Enjoy your slavery, good luck attempting to reason with the MarxoFascists for what is left of your liberty and may posterity forget you were ever our countrymen.
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. - Winston Churchill
We're soon to arrive at the latter portion of Churchill's statement, but not so for you. Your end will be to perish AS a slave.
So, I take it INVAR was appointed criminal prosecutor, judge, jury and executor of justice against the administration?
And this happened when, exactly, and by whom?
Funny, I don't remember ever voting for INVAR.
INVAR referring to his inappropriate use of the word "terrorist": "Semantics. You know what I meant."
Politics is all about "semantics" -- precise definitions and uses of words to distinguish right from wrong, fact from fiction, acceptable from not, etc.
So it's important to understand that in no sense of the word -- traditional or modern -- were our Founders "terrorists".
Yes, treasonous rebels against the Crown, for sure, but they were in the best sense of the word: Gentlemen, not "terrorists".
INVAR: "You haven't a freaking clue what time it is pal.
You have an incurable case of Normalcy Bias."
I know that some people would like to convince us it's again October of 1860 -- or even November 10, 1860 and if you know your history, you know why that date is important.
But November 10, 1860 was not the date Abraham Lincoln launched his invasion of the Confederacy, it was the date slave-holding secessionist Fire Eaters launched their assault on the United States.
It ended badly for them.
I'm merely here to warn you: don't repeat their mistakes.
INVAR: "Some things are with dying for.
I guess for you - the promise of safety and security is enough to placate."
Some of my ancestors served in every major US war, beginning with the Revolutionary War.
I volunteered and served years in the United States military during a time of war.
And you have done what, exactly?
INVAR: "We're soon to arrive at the latter portion of Churchill's statement, but not so for you.
Your end will be to perish AS a slave."
Now you're just blathering nonsense.
When I served, we stood ready to be called up for defense of military installations -- against violent attacks by the same crowd that now runs Washington, DC.
My, how times change.
They will change again, FRiend, lawfully, constitutionally, peacefully.
