I don’t really know how seriously to take this, but here’s a question from the latest Fairleigh Dickinson poll. Apparently, nearly half of all Republicans believe that we might need an armed revolution in the near future to “protect our liberties.” Hell, even a fifth of Democrats think the same thing.

Either way, though, I’d sure like it a lot better if this number were somewhere south of 5 percent.
