Comment Re:violently overthrow the Constitution? (Score 1) 883

Well said, with a few exceptions:


Under your definition George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other founding fathers were "terrorists." With out those terrorists, you would not have this constitution you seem to value so much.

If the majority of the people in this country decide that the government needs a major overhaul, they have a mechanism for enacting change. The original colonists had no such mechanism--they were subject to British law, and that was that.
