(6,123 posts)Mix religion, politics, machismo, AND IGNORANCE, and you've got a sure fire recipe for domestic terrorism. ('Domestic' being defined by which country you're living in, of course.)
First this guy waved a BIBLE around and said it was the founding document for the CONSTITUTION (which it wasn't). Next he said that the CONSTITUTION gives them the "right" and responsibility to violently overthrow any government which...(insert favorite phrase here)...which they DON'T LIKE, basically...and BINGO. Apparently GOD has told you it's your RELIGIOUS RESPONSIBILITY to violently overthrow the Federal Government. (There's a DAMNED GOOD REASON the Founders placed a firewall between Church and State.)
Anyway, they KEY ingredient here is IGNORANCE, given that I'd put money on the fact that most of the people in that room have read NEITHER the Bible NOR the Constitution in their entirety; and that they've only taken the word of various DEMAGOGUES (like this a-hole) about what they say. Or they've been fed a steady diet of out of context quotes from the Bible and Constitution by various demagogues.
That's EXACTLY the same formula being used by ISLAMIC terrorist demagogues to incite Muslims to violence. It's a universal formula, and ignorance is the KEY ingredient.
