"What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure," Jefferson wrote in a letter to William S. Smith, a diplomatic official in London, on November 13, 1787. Jefferson was commenting on Shays' Rebellion, an armed uprising in Massachusetts that had been put down earlier that year by organized state militia forces. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion," Jefferson remarked. "Let them take arms."

Not this again...if Obama wins the RWNJs will go postal. Liberals, arm yourselves because their hatred is out of control. Did anyone every think that gun sales may have gone up because people feel the need to protect themselves from RWNJs?
