"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." ~Thomas Jeffersonhttps://imgflip.com/i/akzq0g“Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience to God” is a provocative phrase, but if Benjamin Franklin had his way, it would have been on our national seal, complete with a scene from the book of Exodus. Thomas Jefferson liked the sentiment so much he used it as his personal seal."If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude rather than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."~Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House (1 August 1775)
