This right here, this is what made America. This is the heart of Freedom, flipping the controlling government the bird!...then plucking it's feathers, covering the politicians in tar, and applying said feathers to said politician.

But we are too soft a nation. Men like this now are treated as terrorists, not patriots, and everyone else let's it happen. I'm just a guilty as anyone else. But this is how real change is made. Until we, at least as a significant percent of the population, are willing to commit on this level, we will continue to slide into obscurity and destruction. Voting one way or the other just slows or speeds up that decline.
