You do realize that this country was founded when a certain group of people started a war against other people who was at the time their fellow countrymen, right?
Oh please. Don’t be condescending. I *also* realize that ever since then, any time any group of men have raised up arms against their fellow countrymen have been put down, with guns, by agents of the Federal government. Every time, from Shays’ Rebellion to Bloody Kansas to Fort Sumter. And all of THEM thought that the history of our founding would somehow give them a pass. WRONG. How do you interpret *that*fact of our history - all of it occurring since the Constitution was adopted and we actually became a nation, not just a group of colonies?
If you think that any sort of armed rebellion against the Federal government undertaken now would result in anything more or less than an armed response by the National Guard, you’re in a dream world. The National Guard has demonstrated before that it will imprison (for at least a few days) or even shoot to kill unarmed American demonstrators that are in opposition to the government. They’d certainly shoot to kill any “freedom fighters” that committed armed insurrection.
Truthsearcher, you may not like what I was taught, but it’s an much an American heritage as anything you may have been. And apparently it’s more grounded in a realistic understanding of the enormous variety of the beliefs of ALL Americans - which is actually the world we BOTH live in.
God forbid you want to shoot ME because I am not ideologically pure enough for you in some way. That is the patch of the fanatic.
