Tree of Liberty

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."


-Thomas Jefferson




What do you think this means?



Under what context as it first written?



Does it apply today?



Is it being used properly by those wearing T-shirt with the phrase emblazoned on the shirts?

How easy it is to fabricate a "tyrant" from a figurehead of a completely different culture.

That quote makes me sick to my stomach.
