LOL. Merry Christmas, Gomer. [I'm curious after reading most of the thread--is Deliverance your favorite movie? ;-) ]
The idea that Americans at anytime can if necessary by force reclaim their nation from tyrants is an idea as old as the nation itself and one the founders knew, supported, and understood. It used to be taught in public school even up through the 1970's.
You have some great posts on this thread, cva... it is sad that so many are willing to give up their freedoms in the name of "security" and "order."
It's sad indeed. But even the founders weren't the majority of their day. Many persons were very willing to tolerate the abuses and tyranny of the crown in exchange for security and of course their positions of authority in his kingdom all the way down to the local tax collectors and Constable's. When enough persons finally got their fill of the crowns abuses a nation was born.
