Not agreeing with the government does not mean I hate this country...
Planning to secede from it indicates hatred of it.

Hatred of the federal government not the country. That's the problem, you seem unable to distinguish between the government and the country.

So what exactly is the difference between Ayers and Todd Palin?

Here's a good starting point for some research, more details will certainly emerge in time: Campaigns dig into the archives to attack | Chronicle | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Ayers was involved with bombings, killing people, and has even said in recent years he wished he'd done more (killed more). Todd Palin is peacefully advocating for states' rights. No bombings, no killings. There's a big difference between the two!

Wrong, the founding fathers of the country thought it was very patriotic to question and oppose the government.

Radical Islamic terrorists also believe their actions are just and doing the will of God. That doesn't make it acceptable or right. I'm familiar with the serious problems this country had in the 60's but they still do not make terrorist activities right.

Ayers was convicted of killing people? He said he wishes he had killed more people?

Is this peaceful?

"When the [federal] bureaucrats come after me, I suggest they wear red coats. They make better targets. In the federal government are the biggest liars in the United States, and I hate them with a passion. They think they own [Alaska]. There comes a time when people will choose to die with honor rather than live with dishonor. That time may be coming here. Our goal is ultimate independence by peaceful means under a minimal government fully responsive to the people. I hope we don't have to take human life, but if they go on tramping on our property rights, look out, we're ready to die."
