“you oppose law and order”

Do you think torturing and killing runaway slaves is “law and order”?

Do you think Nazi prison camps represent “law and order”?

I oppose your concept of law and order.

If you want to make a point about Harriet Tubman, I suggest you do so with specific facts about her, rather than generalizations about slavery and tyranny.

Otherwise, you may find yourself in hot water. My statement, “Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God” is based on a popular saying Thomas Jefferson’s suggested as the motto for the seal of the United States. And the founder of this site is particularly fond of that quote.

If you believe in rule by men rather than rule by law, and you believe people must subject themselves to unjust laws and not oppose them, you are unlikely to find much support here.

The Bible supports this point of view:

Acts 5:29
But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
