[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

The Founding Fathers didn't find a lot of things strange that are indeed wacko (e.g., slavery). Many of them were great, but not infallible. I'm certainly not about to sign up to join some militia group and I trust our government far more than I do the guy who stockpiles arms in his basement in the event he needs to wage a jihad against our government.

I also do not find references to other countries' experiences with dictators and communists particularly good indicators of what we should do. History is nice and all, but knowledge of historical events is only useful if you contextualize them.
