Revolution... Have it your way.
Man I'm kinda wierded out about this Hannity poll from today. I'm surprised it hasn't got more attention here. Here's a capture in case you missed it:



It seems like they are marketing a revolution like it was a fucking Whopper at Burger King. "How do you want your revolution? Oh a War of Succession! You want fries with that? Chocolate Shake?

Has someone explained to these people that you can't revolt against a democratically elected government? Well you can but that would make you... insurgents, which by their own definition is a horrible thing.

Comparing their little hissy fit over getting their asses kicked in the election, and make no mistake, that's what this is about, these people didn't give a shit about the deficit when Bush was in office, and 99% of them are getting a tax break, so comparing what they are doing to the American Revolution where the founding fathers fought against a tyrannical dictator for the right of representation and the freedom to choose their own leaders is a slap in the face to the people who wrote the Constitution.

This is tough because I'm all for the first amendment, and for Hannity's right to open his mouth and make a fool out of himself, but gun sales and violence are on the rise and he and others including members of Congress are fanning the flames of this faux "revolution". Where does the first amendment stop and responsibility start?

1. Where was the voting option of STFU?
As for the First Amendment, think of yelling "fire" in the proverbial crowded theater.

2. Yikes! Wouldn't this be classified as fomenting violent overthrow of government?
If so, I don't think it's covered by the 1st Amendment.
