In related news, a nonsensical if law-abiding call to revolution is published. Moral outrage follows. Some wonder why it matters.
One of the great triumphs of the nineteenth century was to limit the connotation of the word "immoral" in such a way that, for practical purposes, only those were immoral who drank too much or made too copious love. Those who indulged in any or all of the other deadly sins could look down in righteous indignation on the lascivious and the gluttonous.... In the name of all lechers and boozers I most solemnly protest against the invidious distinction made to our prejudice.
—Aldous Huxley

Yes, I would venture that calling for the violent overthrow of the United States government is actionable.

Since when is armed revolt legal? In fact, I believe even inciting rebellion is treason.

Oh yay, an asshole and about... uh, let me guess, two of his friends marching around and demanding a revolution.

That's nice. We don't get nearly enough "revolutions" anymore.

But the influx of far-right voters would probably give the Christian Heritage Party representation.

US Constitution, Article III, Section 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attained.


The newsletter could be used as evidence of intent to commit treason, and possibly also an overt act of preparation to levy war against the United States. So hypothetically this newsletter is treasonous, but I'm not certain it would be found as such. The two witnesses are not necessary to prove intent or a treasonable nature of the act, they are only needed to prove the act occurred.

President Obama, is a “political socialist ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized,” and that the only option is “armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November:” If one is confused as to what Republicans consider is a “political socialist ideologue,” the newsletter claims President Obama “shuns biblical praise, handicaps economic ability, disrespects the honor of earned military might,” and that under Obama, “the government is out of control, and this opportunity, must not be forsaken for we shall not have any coarse (sic) but armed revolution.”
