Lemmings in this country will laud Washington et al. as brave, selfless men who were completely justified in standing up to the British Empire. These same indivduals state, unequivocally, that fighting tyranny today is incomprehensibly wicked. They label as crazy anyone who dares point out that various architects of our republic explicitly declared that armed insurrection is a birthright of future generations, and that the Second Amendment exists to facilitate this.
Apparently certain virtues aren't timeless after all if you're a dime-a-dozen dumbass lemming whose life revolves around insipid reality television programs and watching children in adult bodies chasing a ball around a field. It isn't a matter of "the line hasn't been crossed yet" because we all know that these spineless cowards would be singing the exact same tune even if the tyrants' henchmen came to lead people away to the gulags.
The courage to stand up to tyranny: cool as hell if you're William Wallace in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries or George Washington in the late eighteenth century, but unspeakably evil in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries according to pussies who don't want to rock the boat and thereby jeopardize their cushy lifestyles.*
* I am not advocating or endorsing illegal activity. I am not criticizing these people for not resisting, rather, I am criticizing these people for criticizing other people who have resisted tyranny in recent times (no one has forced them to be good sheeple and engage in such critcism, so at the very least, they could remain silent on the matter) while simultaneously praising people like Wallace and Washington.
