Thomas Jefferson once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." A provocative statement, to be sure. That's why there was great concern when William Kostic appeared outside a health-care forum hosted by President Obama last August in New Hampshire with a gun strapped to his leg and carrying a sign that read, "It Is Time to Water the Tree of Liberty." That makes for great political theater. But Jefferson's words adorned the back of McVeigh's t-shirt the day he committed the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil (before Sept. 11, 2001).
