Quiz: When did the first revolutionary talk come out of Republicans in earnest?
Answer: Ruby Ridge. Then, any time a group acted insane and against the gov, they would give a rebel yell. They want anarchy on our watch.

2. 1864
Today's Republican Party is not the same as even that of the 1960s.

4. For questions like this, I think more in terms of "conservatives".
The republican party has changed with time before reaching its current low point. But conservatives have always been skeptical of America and its values (Tories in the Revolution, rebels in the Civil War, battling the civil rights movement, etc., etc.) no matter what party label they are defiling at the moment.

7. But the first talk of things like sniping any gov official that snoops around their environs is
newish. And the Ruby ridge stuff got them talking in those terms about everything including home schooling.
