Well, Julia, this is the mission of Free Republic. Those who have some other mission in mind are certainly welcome to go elsewhere. I'd never dream of asking you to sign on to a concept you don't believe in.

We believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Constitutional restoration has long been our primary mission on Free Republic.

“Well, Julia, this is the mission of Free Republic. “

I thought FR was about defending our laws and our traditions of freedom and individual responsibility, observing and commenting on media bias, and sharing a patriotic perspective on current events. I never saw advocacy of radical actions in FR’s masthead before.

Well ... you say: “We the People of America choose to exercise our right to throw off and alter the abusive government by peacefully recalling and removing from office the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States and all U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives effective immediately.”

... AHEM. “WE THE PEOPLE” had an election with over 120 million people participating. Last November. I’m sorry that the worst President in our lifetimes was picked, but he was. Legally, lawfully and democratically. Reality. Obama WILL be President until 2012. Now unless you can get 120 million people to sign up for your revolution, you’ve got no basis to talk about these usurpations, etc. THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT!

“Constitutional restoration has long been our primary mission on Free Republic.”

Really. How do you ‘restore’ the Constitution by abolishing duly passed Constitutional amendments, calling to replace a President and members of Congress outside of an election, who, according to the Constitution are not up for re-election until 2012 and 2010. You cannot defend or restore the Constitution while proposing actions that go against it!

How realistic to advocate such extreme actions, when 95% of those who AGREE with you on the facts, will INSTANTLY DISAVOW the actions taken. (And replacing Obama with Hillary as interim President, please!) And they WONT go along with undoing it; me and 98% of patriotic Americans will prefer the slings and arrows of 4 years under Obama to the risks and dangers of revolution or secession - which will NOT happen.

So why even propose something that will only give the left fodder to give you the Alinsky treatment of “isolation”. Now, everyone who had anything to do with you will be called on by the leftists to agree or disavow your unwise course of action. Why did you give the left the tools to hurt you?

If you want to obey the Constitution, then OBEY THE CONSTITUTION. Advocating ANY form of irregularity, revolution, deposing the govt through extra-ordinary or extra-legal action is AGAINST the Constitution and the laws.

Follow your own creed.

The American people will not allow the tyranny of bad leftwing liberal policies to stand via peaceful, lawful activism and the ballot box. It will be overturned ONLY by tossing out in elections those who do wrong. And with 64 million who swallowed Obama’s koolaid, you (we) have a lot of educating to do.

It’s one thing to fight the very wrong Obama agenda. It’s quite another to advocate a divisive and extreme action like this. One that will NOT happen and will only put the target on YOU as an anti-Government extremist.

Conservatives know that radical overthrow of existing insitutions is fraught with danger. If people who think its nuts to advocate overthrow of the Government dont belong on FR, let the rest of us know. You can turn FR into an obscure fringe extremist site if that’s your wish.

As the Beatles put it:
“When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out”
