"Incidentally, where exactly is your line in the sand that before it there is no tyranny and afterwards there is?" Your declarations are self defeating so I will leave them alone. Unfortunately, you partisans keep trying to use the word tyranny for your own purposes. The bushies use it to label any enemy force and you use it as it benefits the left wing agenda. Both are corruptive. I am pretty sure I have clarified my position on tyranny. Tyranny is the oppression or denial of the natural rights of a person. Where there are oppositional combative or competing forces neither qualifies as tyrant over the other or as victim of tyranny by the other. Where there are non-competing or combative individuals who are having their natural rights oppressed so that some force may gain advantage over some oppositional force, the effect is tyranny.
