Have you and I talked about this subject before? The subject of the Children of Israel demanding a King? Because that is one of my favorite positions when discussing why people demand big government.
Or,
The alternative is that you and I have the same play book.

LOL - That we do.
In response to those who would say that the Christian thing to do is to submit to authority, with the implied submitting being utter and unconditional [somewhat like my father]; and in response to those who advocate a non-violence-at-all-costs [like Glenn beck] I would direct to the book of Esther — In Esther we see that God allows His people to [legally] gather together defend themselves against those who would do them harm (note that this “self-defense” allowance did not prevent their enemies from acting NOR did it excuse those who “holed up” in their own homes alone). We Americans have a similar, yet more broad, allowance to do violence to those who would do us harm: the Declaration of Independence outlines it.
