Traitors

Glenn Greenwald makes a very good point about American citizens advocating the violent over-throw of the US government.

Greenwald asks if Obama shouldn't just order killed a tea party member, who wrote;

To resist by all means that are right in the eyes of God is not rebellion or insurrection, it is patriotic resistance to invasion.

May all of us fall on our faces before the Heavenly Judge, repent of our sins, and humbly cry out to Him for mercy on our country. And, may godly courageous leaders rise up in His wisdom and power to lead us in displacing the criminal invaders from their seats and restore our constitutional republic.

Now who does that sound like? Hmmmm?

Shouldn't Doug Gibbs be on Obama's "kill list"? Just send in a Navy SEAL and Bin Laden him.. right?

After all, that's what Obama had done to Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. al-Awlaki was advocating the exact same thing that these tea baggers, and Doug, are advocating. Why would it make any difference if al-Awlaki was in Yemen, and Doug is in California? An American's constitutional rights do not end at the border.

In other words.. Obama should be indicted and tried for murder, just the same as if he ordered any other American killed for simply speaking about, or advocating, an armed insurrection.

This truly is the the pivotal issue of what defines the United States. Can you speak your mind, or will they blow your brains out because of what you say?

I know the health care law faces a serious threat of being repealed should Romney win the election and the Republicans control both houses of Congress. I think the law sucks in broad terms, but it does have a few good features. So, should I support Obama because of that, or should I support Romney because Obama is a war criminal?

Tough choice.
