I not too long ago have overheard during the summer from conservatives in everyday life talk hypothetically about "removing the president" and I heard similar talk from the more radical left regarding fmr. President Bush.
We all have moments of weakness and indeed frustration, but one must ask what precedent is being set should our actions have been successfully executed actions. And whether or not the root cause of our desire is simply a difference in politics or a real act of treason.
As radical as my politics are, I would never act against the republic unless the republic was no more, a government of, for and by the people, but usurped by a more insidious and anti-republican, anti-democratic power.
The failure to act against measures such as the Patriot Act, and now Citizens United is nota failure of government or the usurpation of government. They could be used and if left to be legitimized by time against the republic, given to us by our forefathers who have now not only passed the torch but now the obligation to protect and defend our very way of life.
