Yes or No?

Conservative Republicans like black and white answers to questions.

Here's a question.

Do people have a right to armed resistance against an occupying army?

Next question: Does Iraq have the same right?

Absolutely, no matter how dark-skinned you are or how many times that occupier tells you they are doing it for your (or the world’s) benefit.

Remember the Occupation of Boston?

Remember the Intolerable Acts? They included:

The Massachusetts Government Act, which altered the Massachusetts charter and restricted town meetings;

The Administration of Justice Act, which ordered that all redcoats be tried in Britain, not the colonies

The Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the British had been compensated for the tea lost in the Boston Tea Party (the price was never paid); and

The Quartering Act of 1774, which forced Boston to house thousands of occupying British soldiers sent in to control the vicinity.

The Quebec Act, while technically not one of the Coercive Acts, further upset the colonists by nullifying land claims and settling Roman Catholics in the colonies.

Sound familiar?
