Former Michigan GOP Spokesman: 'Is Armed Rebellion Now Justified?'

[^_^ 5,021]

The former spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party sent out an email that questioned whether armed rebellion was justified over the Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare.

Matthew Davis, an attorney in Lansing, sent the email moments after the Supreme Court ruling to numerous new media outlets and limited government activists with the headline: “Is Armed Rebellion Now Justified?”

...

“You can’t have people walking with lattes and signs and think the object of your opposition is going to take you seriously,” Davis said. “Armed rebellion is the end point of that physical confrontation.”

You obviously don't know much about our early post-Revolution history.

Well in the South they would have been shooting each other as well as instigating torture. On another note, some one should give Sean Combs back is rifle. (In all seriousness, I hope he is acquited)

I'm all for armed rebellion, the US is overpopulated, we need to make some space.

I used to think the same way, not after we have spent ten years in Afghanistan fighting a handful of pajama clad people with no air force, no armored vehicles, no drones, no night vision, not much more than ak's and improvised bombs.

I have no doubt ... no doubt a guerrilla warfare campaign would grind the Gov't into submission. Especially when you consider the ability to manufacture small to medium sized implements of warfare.

You are being swayed by fighter jets and the latest tanks, those things are useless when the enemy is rooted in your own suburbs and cites.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another

and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them........

How exactly do you propose dissolving the political bands between your tea party compatriots and the majority of the voting population that elected the current government? You plan on killing all those who disagree with you?

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

That's how Washington did it.

That's typically how armed rebellion works.
