Neither do I; but I am a Constitutional absolutist. If we fold up our Constitution for these jokers pikers and losers than we really are not deserving of the freedom won by our founders. Hopefully our Constitution will survive the worst that these stupid fanatics can throw at us. I just don't like seeing people on the right ignore the Constitution. From the left I expect it, but I thought you guys were on my side when it came to the Constitution.

We let this happen. The blood of our children will be spilt because of this. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves. What can we do? Ideas?

"I thought you guys were on my side when it came to the Constitution."

I am. However, when it comes to individuals and groups who have managed to put themselves among us to kill us, I would posit that these individuals and groups have self-defined themselves as an enemy of the Republic. The oath of office springs to mind, you know, that part about "enemies foreign or domestic?" Sounds to me as if the Founders understood that there are instances where Constitutional protections do not apply to every single human being in the country.

I'm torn here.

I respect your constitutional absolutism.

That said - go back to the original article. What do we America, or the British, do with folks who openly call for the destruction of a nation and it's government?

How about Lincoln? He had to fiddle with the Constitution
in extreme times/war? Not saying we're there yet, but who knows...
