I use the term "neo-Leninist" for any ideology which is prone to advocating and initiating violence. Mr. Matthews may never have heard of dialectical materialism or the class struggle, but he sure followed Mao's dictum about political power growing out of the barrel of a gun.

Violence can solve quite a few problems. It is always a solution that can be applied to a tyrannical government as well. The difference between patriot and what you call a nut job is often only a matter of degree.

Are the founding fathers nut jobs, the Union Army ? The veterans of the World Wars ?

Every single one of them had a philosophy that demanded violence at times rather than submission to tyranny.
