"As incredible as it sounds, there’s an argument going on right now between two Republican senators (and, potentially, two Republican candidates for the presidency) over whether the American citizenry should be ready to fight a war against the federal government. The two senators in question are Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, and they can’t seem to agree whether the Second Amendment serves as bulwark against government “tyranny.”"

Many of us are old enough to remember when the left was urging violent revolution in the US, and slogans like, "Up against the wall, MF, "Off the pig (police)", and "Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" were used on a daily basis. I guess the morons at Salon think we don't remember.

The idea that people have a right to revolt against an oppressive government is the basis on which this country was founded, and it is also the basis for all left-wing revolutionary theory.

The left knows that they now control most of this country's institutions - the media, the universities, the public schools, many churches, and even many corporations - and they are suddenly proclaiming the exact OPPOSITE of their traditional belief in the right to revolt against an oppressive government. They don't want anyone revolting against THEM.
