“The idea of opposing — by force if necessary — a tyrannical government has been turned into a celebration of tyrannical government itself! The evidence is all around us. How would the signers of the Declaration of Independence have viewed, for example, the Obama Administration’s ‘drone memo,’ finally released last week, which claims to justify the president’s killing American citizens without charge, judge, jury, or oversight? Is this not a tyranny similar to that which our Founders opposed? And was such power concentrated in one branch of government not what inspired the rebellion against the English king in the first place?”
