Then you obviously do not know your own country's history.

Call names and flames all you want, I could care less.

When the law is wrong the law is wrong and if a Life hangs in the balance (Like this one did), then the people have the responsibility to change the law by whatever means necessary. That includes by force of arms.

If that is not the case, then please explain to me the reasons behind our own revolution?

Seems there is a lack of moral courage on these boards as well.

"It's against the law so we can't do it."

What happens when guns are against the law?

What happens when free speech is against the law?

What happens when forced euthanasia IS the law?

What then?

Is the law still the law?

Will you ignore those laws? Will you fight to change them or shrug your shoulders like most sheep and say "But it's the law."

I have a suggestion for you. Go read a book titled "The Law"

Good book and it has alot of information in it that alleged conservatives NEED to know.

But Jeb Bush DID fight to change the law, and once the law was changed, he acted.

I've got a copy of The Law on my bookshelf. It does NOT support what you say. The law must be changed by legal means, or you have no society. The reasons behind our revolution were due to the lack of due process, and the imposition of taxation without representation. In other words, laws were being created by fiat, and not by legally judicated procedures.

You go on and on about moral courage mister, but you are guilty of a selective interpretation of events in support of your argument. Basquiat would not approve of your interpretation. How about a morally courageous adherance to the historical facts? Why dont we start there?

Actually, I do.

Call names and flames all you want, I could care less.

When the law is wrong the law is wrong and if a Life hangs in the balance (Like this one did), then the people have the responsibility to change the law by whatever means necessary. That includes by force of arms.

Once you do that, you're permanently outside the law, and you had better win.

If that is not the case, then please explain to me the reasons behind our own revolution?

Revolt against tyranny is a divinely-granted right.

However, revolutions are not made around but one single unjust law, because revolutions undo the entire structure of government.

Seems there is a lack of moral courage on these boards as well.

I see you spouting off about how everyone who disagrees with you lacks moral courage.

I find that the true lack of moral courage is when someone loudly proclaims to know what is right, claims to support that right at any and all costs, including insurrection...and then does N-O-T-H-I-N-G to actually implement his claimed superior morality.

The bottom line: you are a coward.

"It's against the law so we can't do it."

And that law got changed. What a concept.

Before you castigate someone who has actually sworn to uphold all of the laws of the state, including the ones he doesn't agree with, for not violently overthrowing one of those laws, you develop your moral courage to the point where you, who are not so constrained by a freely-given oath, can lead by example (as opposed to leading by invective).

What happens when guns are against the law?

I know that you will not walk the walk to match your brave talk.

What happens when free speech is against the law?

I know that you will not walk the walk to match your brave talk.

What happens when forced euthanasia IS the law?

I know that you will not walk the walk to match your brave talk.

What then?

Cowardly blowhards like you will posture and demand that a man on horseback make the trains run on time.

Is the law still the law?

Will you ignore those laws?

Will you fight to change them or shrug your shoulders like most sheep and say "But it's the law."

Where were you? I find your fascination with sheep to be very interesting from a forensic psychosexual viewpoint.

I have a suggestion for you.

I have a suggestion for you: walk the walk. Shut your pie hole and act on your beliefs instead of giving others hell for not doing what you're too cowardly to do yourself.
