I agree. And if the government won't do it, we, the militia, must. As Thomas Jefferson said, the tree of liberty should be fed with traitors' blood.

You have that wrong. Here's Jefferson's letter that contains the exact quote:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

Your call for citizens to rise up and extra-legally kill those whom they consider traitors would be anathema to Jefferson.

Thanks for that original Jefferson letter, RonF. I've always wanted to read the original.
