Don't try to smear the Founders with the mindset of these militia wacko cowards. We are not ruled by a foreign occupation army, and Henry David Thoreau did not write a pamphlet entitled "Civil Insurrection".
Whatever you might say about the guy, he was hardly a coward. And we were not ruled by a foreign occupation army at that time; we were British subjects. We rebeled against our legitimate government (we were British colonials, remember?) with firearms and violence.
These Founders you want to remain un"smeared" instigated and led that action.
