I will defend Stretch on this one....the quotes are used out of context to the actual events....
The quotes cite acts of tyranny and occupation by opposing enemy forces and the rebellion from those pressing tyranny and the defense of Liberty and Freedom...
...You could make a strong argument that Jefferson and Adams would be screaming for Liberty at the current time (rally against the Patriot Act).
Dont even think of calling me unpatriotic or sypathetic towards the terrorists who did this act. I burried one friend (he was a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald), lost contact with another friend for 48 hours until phone lines were back up (he worked as a equity analyst in Tower 2), and lost numerous work contacts/aquaintances (look up Fred Alger - they lost 55 out of 67 employees that morning).
I just think the quotes are cited in the wrong context....
