Boy, it sure does not take much to get the Party of Government and the Talking Class into a tizzy, doesn’t it?

The ex-hippies at Salon were real gung-ho for insurrection when it was their side doing the insurrecting.

Salon is filled with a cadre of organized communists. Of course they would disparage any resistance to their communism.

But it’s just fine and dandy for a legislator in California to draft up legislation to arm homosexuals for their protection against bigoits...

So Lindsay Graham considers the election of Lincoln and a promise to end slavery equates to government tyranny? What a bizarre viewpoint...

and when an armed citizen would be justified in committing violence against the government.

That's easy. See King George III, and what we did there.

Won that and made a US of A. If we the people made it... we can unmake it.

Mind your place Federal government...

If Cruz was pushing for a rebellion, why would he be running for a position he wants to tear down?

..bulwark against government “tyranny.”

I don’t think it’s a bulwark against government “tyranny”, but it is a bulwark against government tyranny (absent the scare quotes). I think that’s what Cruz was referring to, as well.

Ted Cruz thinks Americans should arm themselves against "tyranny,"

I love the quotes around "tyranny."

Obviously tyranny is impossible in America. I know that's true because President Obama himself has said so, and he never lies.

I like Cruz more all the time. No surprise that he actually understands what the Second Amendment is for - and he is not afraid to say so.
