The line at the end of the story about the likelyhood of a popular uprising to overthrow forcebly Bush tyranny may be the kind of thing I'd say after 5 or 10 beers, but no sober person believes this would happen in today's circumstances, let alone succeed, even if it were morally justifiable. We're not in Boston 1775, Paris 1789 or St. Petersburg 1917, where a few rabble-rousers could bring down an out-of-touch oligarchy. Yes, we are ruled by an out-of-touch oligarchy, but how is a peacenik like I going to defeat the U.S. military? Such idiotic statements completely undo the goal of the article and the forum it describes: to make a Bush impeachment seem plausible and responsible.
