Apples and oranges. The revolt against Britain was carried out by elected representatives of the colonial population, by legitimate leaders. The American Revolution was not an isolated action by a single vigilante. You simply cannot justify Tiller’s murder by analogy to the American Revolution. You do our cause a disservice by trying.

I was NOT justifying this shooting, in any way.

I am stating that those who make a BLANKET case about “law and order” and such have not thought this through.

Am I allowed to be “pro choice” on the subject of abortion doctor shooting?

If not, why not?

Our founders made it very clear that a government that did not have the “consent” of the governed would INVITE violence.

I have tried, very hard, in my own way, to teach prolifers how to use the political process to achieve their goals.

However, I am not at all surprised that the predictions of our founders are coming true!

You should not be surprised, either!

Tyrants invite violence.

Our government is run by tyrants.
