Call your representative and ask for impeachment charges, donate all your money to the DNC, whatever, but until 2008, this guy is our elected president. Comparisons to the spirit of 1776 are seriously far fetched in the meantime.
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Host,

No matter how much you disapprove of the President's performance, calling for a violent coup to throw him out of office is surely unwise. Your guy lost in 2004. Maybe he/she will win in 2008. Until then, I would be appreciative if you stopped calling for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Nice touch with the originalist reference, BTW. It's refreshing to see you thinking in that mode.
