Here's a really well written response to a liberals' comment regarding the "violent" tea party movement.
Tam, you'll love this. So will many more of you.
Goldn Rule, if violence is never good, then our Founding Fathers should have just let King George continue his tyranny over them? I suppose you think Thomas Jefferson was a village idiot of his day? Our government has become exactly what the Founding Fathers fought a revolution against: forced taxation of citizens under threat of imprisonment, undue intrusion of government in citizen's lives, and laws curtailing rights and freedoms shoved down people's throats.
Our Founding Fathers were of the opinion that government should live in fear of the people, not the other way around. Government just shoved through legislation that they KNEW the majority of people were against, with many lawmakers admitting that they were looking at serious problems with their voters back home before casting their vote. And now they wonder why the American Spirit has been stirred to the point that violence is looming? We have a bunch of little Kings and Queens running around now with armed protection, decrying that people should just shut up and take their crap without rising up against them. They steal our money with armed thugs backing them up, waste our money to the point that they have saddled this country with ungodly debt, and now have set themselves up to be able to determine who lives or dies at their whim with the beginning of socialized health-care. That is the very definition of tyranny!
It's simple. If you don't want a powder keg lit, don't build one. The liberals purposely use racial tensions and class warfare to keep people divided while they transform this country into the socialist police-state it is well on the way to becoming. They demonize the creators of wealth and prosperity in this country, and claim that trying to pursue prosperity is greed. I hope it doesn't come to violence. I hope that people will band together to clean every incumbent out of Washington, no matter their party, and replace them with common people from their communities who do not hold law degrees but cherish the ideals of our Founding Fathers. It's the fact that our government is comprised of almost all lawyers that has made this government the "legal" tyranny it has become. They have "legally" changed the laws to allow them to be tyrants.
King George was legally correct in every evil he committed. Our Founding Fathers illegally rewrote their children's destiny with blood, and then set in place safe-guards to ensure that we would never have to face that choice again, and left writings to explain their intent and reasoning for every right they established. This country's mistake was not rising up when the Federal Income Tax was established in direct contradiction to the principles this country was founded on: government should never have an unfettered right to confiscate wealth from the people; confiscated wealth sets up too much of a temptation for increasing tyranny in governing and gives tyrants the funding to pay for armed protection against the people. That's why they said government wasn't allowed to tax the people except in times of war. They also instructed us in their writings that if necessary, we were to take up arms against tyranny to keep or regain the rights they established for us. In other words, they told us to break the law like they did if the law is against the freedoms and rights that they established.
If Thomas Jefferson was alive today, he'd get a bunch of guys together with some tar and feathers and make Ms. Pelosi look like Big Bird's little sister... unless he was feeling really pissed off about her thinking she has a right to trample people's freedoms and rights. In that case, the Founding Fathers would be sending General Washington to take his city back. The liberal media would label them as terrorists, and the Tories of today would call them "village idiots".
