"why not get there and march in Patrick Henry’s shoes, and make the message “alright you bastards, you want to turn this country into a socialist republic, you’re going to have to kill us all first”.
Talking about dangerous, do you really think 0bama, Valerie Jarrett, Clapper, and et al. would have a problem with making that happen?
They’d need the military to do it, and I don’t believe they would follow those orders.

— Captain John Parker*
* Captain John Parker was a veteran of the French and Indian War when he ordered his troops of the Lexington Militia—not Minutemen, mind you, but the normal regular militia—to muster on Lexington Green. Parker was dying of advanced tuberculosis; he’d be dead within six months. His orders to his men as he faced 700 approaching regulars with less than 70 men are recorded for posterity.
