Exactly my point. It seems like your immediate response to near-universal disagreement with your position is to accuse those who disagree with you of being delusional. Five stars for creativity.

It may shock you that we crazy Bushitler residents of Conservativeland think that it would be wrong to attempt to violently overthrow the Bush administration. Why? Because the system provides both a definite termination of his time in office, as well as a mechanism for removing him earlier than that date. Why on earth wouldn't you "utilize" one of these two systemic features rather than destroy the entire system. If you are unable to see the negative consequences of this precident, I am afraid I may not be able to articulate just how terrible an idea such a coup would be. Essentially, we lumpenconservatives (we all have exactly the same opinions, so I can legitimately speak for a majority of the American population) believe that, if all regimes hated by considerable minorities were overthrown by violent methods, no government would be sufficiently stable. Coups are always a bad thing. This is not to say that they are never preferable to the alternative.

But let's be serious: you agree (in principle) that it would be better to overthrow the U.S. government and fight a civil war to replace Bush with unelected liberal leaders... than to wait until 2008? The conservative propaganda must have corrupted my consciousness beyond repair because I think you're crazy.
