Interestingly enough, I believe that after the Revolutionary War, a number of the founding fathers went to George Washington and tried to talk him into taking the title of "King."

Thankfully, he declined.

Personally, I believe that Kitso said above what it might have taken me a page and a half to state.

To wit:

"There is a vast difference in protesting against government actions that you disagree with and taking up arms against it."

The simple question is whether we're dealing with someone who is protesting -- or a traitor.
