First off, _I_ in no way advocate any uprisings. I do not advocate, nor would
I in any sense support anyone who is clearly acting against the interests of
the American People, their elected representatives, nor the Constitution of
the United States. Okay? Clear yet?

If you think for a moment that outside of dire circumstances I would even try
it, you're not thinking properly or more-likely you're laboring under a
misapprehension of what I'm getting-at. The scenario is not, as you seem to
believe, "militia separatist wackos fomenting insurrection" (except maybe in
the case of "Tracey Levin"); the scenario is "clearly madmen take over the
reins of power in Washington DC, know all of the codes, have the proper chain
of command, but are clearly evil, bent on tyranny, etc etc".

Now in this latter case, what do you do? What does your son do? What does
anyone do who's a fan of Liberty? Now tell us who wins and loses. Because in a
fight for freedom, one would hope that you've got God on your side.
