Quickhits (Insane Republicans)
I don't want to hear anything about "crazy left wing bloggers" ever again after these two, 1) the column on Newsmax calling for a military "coup" against Obama (.pdf copy because they removed the original.)
2) National Review columnist John Derbyshire advocating "The case against female suffrage" in his book. Not some awful misplaced comment, but an argument he stands behind to repeal women's right to vote. (And you gotta love the word choice "female suffrage" rather than "women's suffrage," because it's about discriminating on physical anatomical differences, not against people.)
(BBC) The "true story" kids' book about the "gay" penguins in the Central Park Zoo was the most requested to be banned in American libraries.
(AP) A protester in Turkey throws a shoe at the IMF chief.
And, (WaPo) the EU finds that the Georgia/Russia "war" was Georgia's fault. (Send troops to assist says Presidential candidate McCain...)

At some point the neo-Confederate, anti-Unionist, sesessionists cross the line between free speech and sedition. While it's all well and good to talk about democratic "revolution" as a means of "taking their country back," calls for non-democratic, forced, violent overthrow is treasonous. And not in some vague abstract way, but definitively so.
A delicate balancing act, I know, but what would have to happen for the DoJ to pursue changes of sedition, or domestic terrorism. Cause there's a vocal, hate and fear filled minority out there that would call domestic terrorists "freedom fighters."
A bit over the top, but just exploring an idea.

I tend to agree with you, but the hitch is there's no clear line from one to the other short of arming up.
To me, I don't see them as delicately balancing, I see them as wallowing in the wide spacea allowed by the absence of that clear line.
