restricing freedom to advance liberty? I'm not sure I follow.

No, I'm sure you don't. What is "advancing liberty" exactly? Would not violence -- and death -- tend to restrict freedom a bit?

No. If violence is necessary to overthrow an unjust government, than it is justified, as it was during our revolution.

I don't hear too many people complaining about how our revolution was somehow immoral and unjust, as we could have solved our problems through political methods.
