What was that they were saying about "the tree of liberty" again?

What was that they were saying about "the tree of liberty" again?

by digby

All you folks who think the right wingers are revolutionaries who carry guns to fight against government tyranny need to check out what they're saying about the celebration of police authority over civilian government taking place in the streets of New York today.  Let's just say they don't have a problem with it.

A couple of contrasting headlines illustrates it quite well:



Anyone with a heart has to feel compassion for the families of the slain police officers. But the television commentary today, exclusively featuring police advocates, is pretty much laying it on the line: the mayor must acquiesce to police authority just like the rest of the citizens. And nobody is arguing with them. Out of "respect."

Let's not kid ourselves. This is who we are.
