I was told the source of this bit of wisdom was Rush Limbaugh but who really knows? One thing was for sure: They thought it was the gospel truth and that if I was afraid of the government then I must have a good reason to be afraid and it was my own fault and maybe I should take a little better care of myself and blah, blah, blah......

But now when the government causes citizens to fear it that is tyranny? When did this take place? Are Conservatives aware of this change in their position?

What has being a conservative or liberal or racist or anti-racist or history buff got to do with anything. Sounds like he is little more than a deadbeat tenant who is trying to wrap up his actions in the "flag and apple pie" routine to make himself sound heroic. People with an ax to grind will pick a side to justify their position.

He is just a unwilling to pay tenant who is being asked to leave. What has any philosophy got to do with the case at hand? The law is pretty clear. If you disagree we have a court system. If you cannot and/or will not abide by it, find yourself another country that is more in agreement with you. Is it simpler than that?
