It's amazing how conservatives foam at the mouth at the mention of Waco but see nothing wrong with the overkill we see in Gaza.

So many stupid threads are started here claiming "what if..." scenarios of the big bad government taking away our rights. If the government surrounded cities, blockading them from leaving etc, I can guarantee you that you and every other conservative here would not advocate being good little citizens and killing those mean rebels and hoping in 2 generations things would get better.

well the Branch Davidians, at least according to those people's version of the story, never waged war against the US. the US attacked them first without threat or provocation. that is not true in the Israel-Palestine context

and, most importantly, the Branch Davidians lost

it's like the civil war (if you go there). regardless of the philosophical undertones, the South lost

and if the citizens attacked, the government would respond back. where do you see this part left out?
