Insurrection

HIM: “Why don’t you actually read the thread instead of repeating your obvious lack of comprehension????”

ME: I have, thanks. How exactly am I repeating my “obvious lack of comprehension”?

HIM: “If the subject matter is to complex for you to understand without offering nothing more than your misunderstanding, perhaps it might be better to skip it?”

ME: Too complex? I understand completely. However, it seems that only those that agree with your thoughts should enter your discussions. Mea culpa.

HIM: “I have been talking openly and honestly about this subject in this forum (and others) for years, as well as in my community and in my recent run for elective office.”

ME: Good job. Did you win?

HIM:”That’s because you have misconceptions about the law in this regard, as well as an obvious lack of experience in the area of free speech.”

Misconceptions and misinformation are two different things. My inexperience is obvious? I find it strange that you find the need to try and belittle me because I’m a little suspicious of so much discussion on violence against the U.S. Gov’t.

The Constitution defines treason as “levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Article 3.

U.S. Code as of: 01/06/03 Section 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government

teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of

ME:I didn’t mean to offend you, but you are obviously a little touchy. I apologize.

This is part of a conversation on a U.S. Politics board that was discussing using violence to overthrow
the current administration. I mentioned that I was suspect of someone who would do so in such a public
arena. My first thought was “DEA agents infiltrating suspected drug cartels” and so I mentioned
that it’s illegal to talk about overthrowing the U.S. gov’t with violence. This particular
gentleman took great offense to what I said and then went the personal route and argued that I
didn’t know what I was talking about. Excerpts are above.

I think that this guy isn’t very credible, because he simply responded to the above post with “No
need to apologize, you were wrong.” He completely ignored the facts that I laid out.

Ok, I think I’m confusing myself with this HTML code. I’m going to publish this and then finish what I
was saying in another entry.
