Sedition

SEDITION: Webster’s New World Collegiate Dictionary defines SEDITION as:

“The stirring up of Discontent, Resistance or Rebellion against the government in power.”

SYN: Sedition applies to anything regarded by the government as stirring up resistance or rebellion against it and implies that the evidence is not overt or absolute.

My question is a simple one. When does Freedom of Speech cease being a Freedom and become a SEDITIOUS act?

In their blatant attempts to destroy the credibility of the War in Iraq and the President of the United States, are our Democrat friends exercising their right to the Freedom of Speech, or are they actually engaging in stirring up discontent, resistance and rebellion against the government in power, which constitutes SEDITION?

Sedition is not a high powered term used only to describe actions or words designed to stir up discontent, resistance or rebellion against the Federal Government. It can also be applied to such acts against city, county or state governments. We all have a right to the Freedom of Speech, but if and when that Freedom of Speech is used to incite discontent, resistance or rebellion against a duly elected government, it is SEDITION !
