210. Who the fuck is going to define "tyranny"?

There are thousands of right-wing nutjobs out there howling over what they perceive as Obama's "tyranny". Do they have a right to stand up and take on the government with deadly force?

The problem with "standing up to tyranny" is that it sounds good in principle, but it's just not very practical. After all, who gets to define what is "tyranny"? If the rethugs were to start an armed revolution, and if they were to somehow topple our current government, then I'm sure they'd celebrate that day as a national holiday.
