To be fair, a long time ago (the 60's) liberals made noises about armed revolt, and some of their frienge groups were pretty violent (which is why some on the right, who know deep in their hearts their rhetoric is sometimes too inflammatory and downright dangerous now, bring up the Weathermen and the Panthers.)

And I say - heck yes, the extreme left WAS dangerous for a while (doesn't seem to be so now)- but that doesn't make it ok for the right to be dangerous. Neither side should be talking about armed insurrection. I think most of us want to live in a peaceful country, where power is transferred in an orderly way, and where debates are concluded with gavels, and not guns.

Those who wish to use their guns to buttress their opinions should really move to the banana republics where such actions are more at home- though, oddly, the reactionaries don't seem to like those places (strange, isn't it?)
