“Oh, not at all. I simply believe, along with Sam Adams, that traitors in a republic should be hung.”

Then you and I have starkly differing views, I think tyrants should be hung as well as traitors but those who rise against tyrants are not traitors, they are patriots.
“...I think tyrants should be hung as well as traitors but those who rise against tyrants are not traitors, they are patriots.”
You disagree with Sam Adams too, I see. Your opportunity to “rise up” against an elected “tyrant” in this country comes every four years at a ballot box. Otherwise, all the sophistry and special pleading at your command can’t excuse treasonous rebellion or avoid the just penalty of the noose!
