when sheriffs, state police, or state National Guard units move in to secure the parks.

This is what Megan actually said. She didn't say "we" should go shoot anyone. She said states should take back their own land and resources.

In a sense, if you think about it, the nation taking property in individual states is an encapsulation of the philosophy of an almighty central government.

It really is just marginally different than the Fed seizing property in Canada, another free state. And we fought one Civil War already with that as one of the issues. Slavery, of course, was a gross violation of the God-given freedom of a human being, and that had nothing to do with a State's power of self-determination while within a representative system that specifically protects the real identity and authority of individual States.

Do I think you are right that violent rhetoric injures Free Republic? Yes, I do. But, the words she wrote seems to me to be about States seizing back their own authority and boundaries through the actions of that State's legitimate authorities.

Do you think Obama's bully boys are going to look at the "nuance" around "I want them fired on" when they show up at the server farm?

I don't. That comment and all alluding it should be pulled.

Posting rules are clear. No violence.
