No... as a Christian nation we resort to prayer and letting the TRUTH be known. I walk through Philadelphia NEVER looking for a fight, but i always am prepared and ready to defend my family.

Just like Ben Franklin’s description of a rattlesnake... that is America!

Amen - Beware of people like Glen Beck who warn against ever using violence towards Tyranny - his selection of Ghandi’s so-called non-violent approach is ridiculous. Are we supposed to start having sit-ins and bus boycotts???(BTW, I read that Ghandi was a mean little man, and he beat his wife.)

A very appropriate quote. It's nice to talk diplomacy and peace, like we do in foreign policy, but there must always be a "stick" behind the soft speaking, and a willingness to use it.

America's independence and continued freedom was not achieved and maintained by peaceful protests and placards.

I want so badly to believe a peaceful resolution can be made in our dire circumstance with this out of control government...

But then I think about all the corruption and how deep it goes and I have a hard time truly believing (in my gut) that there won’t be real bloodshed over this someday.

Hate to think it, and even worse to say it, but to believe it will be done peacefully, is naive, at best.

So will you be the one who fires the first shot?

GB isn’t telling you to lay down your guns. He’s telling the rest of the asshats that make us out to be violent radicals that we aren’t. We just fed up.

If it came down to armed revolution, we can all agree we’d be on the same side.

Beck can’t necessarily go on TV and give that exact TJ quote without be accused of the things he’s already being accused of. 2010 is different than the 1770’s. He thinks about it, as we all have. But going on national television and advocating violence helps no one, especially us.

If you people want a violent revolution to unfold, go ahead and start it up. Don’t complain about those of us that want to do it the non-violent way. Right now, praying, protesting and voting is the best way to see us through this. All other options are distant seconds.

Wasn't he that slave-raping Democrat?
