The Weavers? I don't know much about the specifics. I know that I would never advise anyone to become involved in a one-on-one violent showdown with the US government. When people talk about resisting tyranny, they mean collectively not individually. At least that's what I hope they mean. |
Hold up, commie. Then what's the point of guns? Are you suggesting that we, as a people, can defend ourselves from government tyranny better not with guns but with reason and dialogue?
Take your pinko talk and get out of here. |

False dichotomy. I have said all along that violent resistance is a last resort, after rational discourse and nonviolent resistance. I guess that did not permeate the carapace of preconceived notions.
