"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson

Did it occur to him that "patriots" may be unable to tell the difference between tyrants and democratically-elected presidents?

[By the way, this idea doesn't belong to Jefferson. It comes from John of Salisbury's Policraticus.]
