'Tree of Liberty'

"America under Obama is turning into a socialist state. We've got someone who is an out-and-out Marxist, a total socialist, who is trying to put everything under government control,"- Mr Parshall

Parshall and other self-described "free-thinkers" make much of Thomas Jefferson's statement: "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

"If they don't start conforming to our constitution, we may have to rise up in arms and take our country back"- Parshall

A short distance from the Mr Parshall's pawn shop, for example, is the University of Nevada Medical Centre, a hospital funded by the tax-payer.
In a small room on the first floor, illegal immigrants are being treated at great cost for kidney failure.

This enrages some people who cannot understand how the cash-strapped American tax-payer now comes to be funding the healthcare of people who have no right to be in the country in the first place
