Read Lincoln’s Young Men’s Lyceum Speech.
Over, and over.
"..The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;--let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty...."
Seems to me we're not the people violating anyone else's liberty. Yet we tolerate OUR liberties being daily despised, denigrated, constrained, and removed by a certain party (as well as turncoats on our own side) under color of "law".
Not a situation that promotes peaceful coexistence, when the other side wants us dead for having the temerity to disagree with them.
