"I don't advocate taking up arms, although it is interesting that the Founding Fathers took up arms against the King for far less than we currently endure. One day, if marches, recalls and civil disobedience do not bring the government back into line with the Constitution, armed conflict will be necessary."

The thread was pulled because the article calls for civil disobedience and then brings up the possibilty of armed conflict being necessary. As you know, Free Republic does not advocate violence or an overthrow of the government. We also do not allow FR to be used for promoting illegal activities. Our protests are not civil disobedience. We've been very careful to abide by the law in all of our activism projects. If people on this thread start calling for armed conflict or other illegal acts, the thread will be permanently deleted. Otherwise I will let it stand. Thanks, Jim
