Obama himself called for a "Civilian National Security Force".. The left celebrated the idea then.. Oooh now they dont like the idea...

Funny that two of the posts below yours still spout the same old rhetoric. I wonder if they even read yours!
The poster you are referring to chooses to frame his responses in such a way that you almost need a magnifying glass to read them. As long as he/she continues that, that poster risks his/her posts being ignored..

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.

It is like a storm in the atmosphere." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.

"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [i.e., securing inherent and inalienable rights, with powers derived from the consent of the governed], it is the right of the people to alter or 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." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

"We think experience has proved it safer for the mass of individuals composing the society to reserve to themselves personally the exercise of all rightful powers to which they are competent and to delegate those to which they are not competent to deputies named and removable for unfaithful conduct by themselves immediately." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:487

Yeah, this racist remarks coming from the same individual calling others pompous fools..

Almost all violence against the US government has been the LEFT.. William Ayers ring a bell? You guys defended his actions not so long ago... And his was ACTIONS, not just "words"...
Cant wait to see the answer you get

btw, you dont need to overthrow the military, just government. The military isnt allowed to attack civilians. Not even ones taking part in an overthrow of government.

I admit I can't figure out how to get the font larger. I even tried writing the response on Word, in 18-point font, but when I cut and paste it still comes out small.

How does one increase the font?

Sorry, I didn't realize we were still in the days of the Revolutionary War. Will this idiot's plans to overthrow the government also include the use of muskets? I sure hope so, I like antiques.

Oh, and btw, Bill Ayers was never convicted of anything. Just thought I'd bring you up to speed.

There is no option to change the size of the font. Must be that the font in Word isn't available here so an alternate (and smaller) font is substituted.

One thing you could do is after the cut and paste, select the text and change the font itself from the pulldown above the edit box.

The year doesnt matter.. How does the year change the Constitution and the statements by our founding fathers? IT DOESNT..

I'm sure if he was to do something so stupid it would involve legally owned arms covered under the Constitution..
