re: #570 Charles
That particular quote, however, is explicitly about violent revolution. In the video of the Arizona 4409 group, they make a little joke about “are you gonna water the tree of liberty?” The people who put that quote on signs know exactly what it implies - it’s a threat.
Absolutely correct. Jefferson was talking about violent revolution. He didn’t fear it as he believed even democratic government is constantly encroached upon by tyranny.
