I can not support the blanket statement "fight the government when it is mostly doing the will of the majority and you're a terrorist.

I understand your wanting to retain an ability to put a brake on the people if the people really go off the deep end. But I think you are too hard on the people. "They" do seem really stupid sometimes. I agree that there is theoretically a point where the will of the people could be something unconscionable, but I don't see that happening. The people may have their faults, but I have faith that they would, when push comes to shove, recoil from doing anything really horrible.
