Sen. Inhofe Says US is 'Reaching a Revolution'

Part of this whole revolution meme that’s distressing is the undercurrent of outrage that “the wrong side” won the election. Nirthers, dearthers, and people with FCBBHODS all feel like their country has been stolen.

So did a lot of moonbats under Bush, and given what happened in Florida, they had more reason to think that way than the sore losermen of today.

They did not go out and empty the shelves of ammo. They did not show up at Crawford with assault rifles.

There are two ways of getting rid of a president under our constitution. Regularly scheduled elections, and impeachment. Our basic law does not give us the option of do-overs, recalls, popular uprisings or violence. Rhetoric to the contrary is not found in the constitution. The declaration of independence preceded the hammering out of our basic law.

So anyone flirting with revolution in the sense (nudge, wink) hinted at in these statements is talking about abolishing the constitution.

Which is also free speech. Go for it. Just don’t pretend it’s something else.
