"WASHINGTON – Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership."
""If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary," Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain's King George III."
The GOP doesn't OK it. Stop lying already. Some candidate says that it is an option that is on the table. Which it always has been since the inception of this country.

Mr. Broden is not a representative of the GOP. I say this even though I am a liberal-leaning person. He is a lone, idiotic voice. The one does not represent the all.
We have far too many new threads in this forum in which a person cites some Democrat or Republican person acting like an idiotic, and then claiming said person is a representative of the group at large. It is a weak argument employed by weak minds.
Indeed, I have listened to Rush for some 20 years and my main problem with him is his engaging in such tactics: he will cite some obscure news story about some city council member (for instance) who proposes some loony law, and then proclaim that “This is the way liberals think!”
No, Rush, it is how loons think.
Mr. Broden is obviously a loon. The vast majority of Conservatives or Republicans or whatever do not think like him. He, Broden, represents nothing but the ramblings of a person with very poor judgment. To suggest that his rambling is reflective of the whole is infantile.

Almost all violent revolutions were started by the wealthy elites that could then impose their own tyranny. Not surprising a Republican candidate would voice an underlying tenant of their religion: What we cannot earn, we steal.

Thats all these people have left.

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. 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

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"...
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." --John F. Kennedy

Rant over.
I tried to rep you but have to spread it around.
Funny that two of the posts below yours still spout the same old rhetoric. I wonder if they even read yours!
