----- Justi boyo, that takes todays cake for biizarro reasoning..
The feds created a 'crime'; -- of making untaxed booze.. -- And you come rushing romantically in, defending the cause of what you see as 'justice'..
- When all rational folk see an unconstitutional taxation scheme which was a bald infringement of personal liberty.

Those who took up arms and assault federal officials are criminals, bootleggers are criminals. Nothing was said about farmers
You made your remarks above in refering to the Whiskey rebellion.
(the bootleggers were 100+ yrs later) who did not fall into either of the above catagories. I defended nothing, romantically or otherwise, merely stated a fact. I didn't write the laws that make them criminal and may not even believe them to be right but that is not the issue.
The old 'we MUST obey' defense. Do you never get tired of using these pitiful excuses?
In the eyes of the law they were criminals particularly since they feloniously assaulted individuals who were merely carrying out duly legislated laws.
Umconstitutional laws, 'legislated' without due process.. And being enforced by agents violating sworn oaths to uphold those principles of liberty.
YOU might think, for some odd reason, that attacking someone performing their job is appropriate but I don't.
The agents are fully aware of the simple principles of our constitution. They ignore them at their peril..
Do you side with the drug-runners who have shootouts with the police, too? YOU are not We the People as much as you might think so.
I'm proudly aware of being in the minority on this issue.
When you slander Hamilton you are slandering Washington as well.
Keep up your silly hyping my boyo. Laughter is good..
