Nope.

Think more about July 4th and what it really is about. Please.

Concord Hymn

Ralph Waldo Emerson

By the rude bridge that arched the flood.
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, are sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heros dare
To die and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Gentlemen. He knows. He's yanking your chain - sort of...

He's also reminding everyone how the populace of Boston responded to the actions of federal/state/local law enforcement troops in Boston following the marathon bombing. Most people didn't object to what occured because it was in the interest of their "safety".

The feds gotta protect their kin.

I thought of both instances.

One led to liberty, the other was another example of "the ends justify the means".

If you block a road you have to expect to get arrested. I applaud them but they have to know that is what it'll come to. Try holding a peaceful anti-nuke protest in front of Warren AFB and block the main entrance. You won't last long.

[Gman]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
