I believe that’s why we have elections. Do you advocate violence against a government that was chosen by it’s people?

That depends.

I believe in the Declaration. It doesn't say "whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness, unless such government results from elections.

No, I do not advocate violence against the present government at Washington.

But, I can easily foresee that government becoming "destructive of these ends", and I can see the "right of the People to alter or abolish it" being denied, elections or no.

In such a case, then, yes, I would support such a course of action.

You guys remember what it was like under Clinton and his minions like Janet Reno engaging in war against the American people? Right-wing Militias were gathering all over the country. If Obama (God forbid, as Savage would say) should be elected, we may have an armed civil war on our hands, like it or not.
