The sheep are in vougue, look at how many support what just happened, as well as the patriot act and other less then kosher things.Context matters.
I support (or do not object to) the use of violence in matters of self and home defense, to prevent someone from being assaulted, or to subdue a criminal who is violently resisting arrest.
The same concept applies on a national level. When the government becomes The Tyrant, armed resistance is a moral alternative. I hope we don't get to that point - but if things continue down the present Statist path, it is looking more plausible.
Only sheep are going to sit idly by while the government shreds The Constitution and enacts regulations to Control The People.
Yep, first it was the Republicans desire to "protect" us by reading our email and text messages and listening to our phone conversations. Then it was the Democrats desire to "protect" our health by forcing us to buy insurance. Personal liberty just keeps sliding down the slope of Government nannyship from both parties, doesn't it?
Yep, it just depends on which brand of "security" people are willing to trade their liberty for, isn't it?
