Face it, we hate each other, and wish each others side harm and harbor ill will. And it is because we totally comprehend what the other side stands for, and will not tolerate it. <br /><br />The pandemonium from all sides scrabbling for the remaining scraps and salvage from a dead and decayed culture has begun. The wealth of a prior capitalist society has been exhausted by the descendent social welfare state, leaving many accustomed to much more than can ever be provided. The period of scavanging will be followed by one of which one can only have what one works to produce, which is really bad news for the left-leaning political spectrum.ruralcounselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193188081686431709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-20124250076921748152011-03-11T08:23:16.490-05:002011-03-11T08:23:16.490-05:00One is reminded of the abuser's threats.

I take it it's also a request, not for enlightenment, surely, but perhaps for an enumeration of reasons. So:<br /><br />1- Many have been noted above, detailing forces which have their backs. In addition, they have assurance of protection from:<br /><br />2- Most of the judicial system, comprising law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys and judges.<br /><br />3- Most local, state and federal bureaucrats, to include especially election officials.<br /><br />4- Occupants of the White House and their implementing Departments (except one).<br /><br />5- A lazy, drug-infested, gullible, blood-thirsty electorate.<br /><br />So, they have mighty, and I would say justifiable, reason to expect unrestricted operational freedom. Their confidence is indomitable in consequence of that and of their decades of nearly ceaseless success. Their mission is to prevent opposition from gaining rampancy. Their issued -- and they are issued -- ROEs are a blank sheet of paper, and I think they have only just begun to illustrate the meaning of that fact.David R.

I've left literally thousands of comments on literally hundreds of sites since 2002, and the issue involving Althouse's site was the only time I had to contact authorities.<br /><br />Don't buy the teapartiers' hype about civility: they're anything but that.<br /><br />P.S. Because there are teapartiers about, I have to point out that the above doesn't excuse the video. I'm simply pointing out that because Beltway hacks like Armey decided to reach out to those with borderline personalities, now the GOP has become the home to those who are no better than those on the video. I realize that's too difficult for most teapartiers to understand, but work your way through it.<br /><br />P.P.S. Because I accurately described the TPers, expect them to lie and to smear. TPers aren't credible, so check out my site (it's very easy to navigate) and see what I've been covering since 2002. Then, compare it to the intellectual output of the teapartiers (good luck finding it) and how they do things. Remember: TPers are allergic to the truth, so don't trust their lies and smears.LonewackoDotComhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942733237455764090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-75224233923418994492011-03-10T23:15:07.821-05:002011-03-10T23:15:07.821-05:00Explicit threats against an elected official to ma...Explicit threats against an elected official to may meet the criteria for a terrorist act.<br /><br />One other comment re: the high school age kids posting these things. A lot of the posters seemed like teenagers who had taken on the views of parents or peers. Kids will do that when they could only understand the issues superficially. One important thing we can do for the future of our democracy is to encourage our children to reserve judgment until they have the facts (from all sides) and to seek these out. And only after they have drawn a thoughtful opinion, to express it in an effective and responsible way. And for us to model that.<br /><br />These kids don't understand the gravity of what they are twittering because they don't even understand the world their passionate 'opinions' pertain to. Critical thinking is hard to teach when schools have been politicized such that all views cannot be examined and evidence investigated without the backlash of a room full of angry parents. Thinking clearly should be a teaching priority. Race to the Top has made it an explicit goal. I hope the execution is successful.Laurie Klemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844891762431132154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-37120476857778760812011-03-10T22:26:29.820-05:002011-03-10T22:26:29.820-05:00These people probably support freely available abo...These people probably support freely available abortion, and physician assisted suicide.

Because Sarah Palin is a private citizen; whatever movie stars do might be a model of how to pursue and prevent it. <br /><br />If it isn't illegal to threaten the life of another person (no matter their occupation), it should be. That seems a necessary cornerstone of a civil society. Without this, there'd be duels (instead of protests) outside every state house, and there would be no rule of law. <br /><br />Please, be reasonable.

The left ...Professor, do you really have to ask? <br /><br />The left has been rioting, bombing, protesting, creating havoc, become violent and pretty much doing anything they want for as long as I can remember. And, unfortunately, there seems to have been little cost to what they do.<br /><br />"Guilty as hell and free as a bird" should be their rallying cry. <br /><br />When did the left, the really radical left, ever have to be responsible for what they have done. William Ayers should have spent the rest of his life in a cell 10 x 10, instead, he has now been exalted to "educator". The fact that Ayers was also a professor should send a chill down your spine.<br /><br />But you see, the excuse is simple; if you are a party of no morals, you can't be held to the same moral standards as everyone else. And if you are Obama, you can call for "civility" when Gabby Giffords was shot, but when it is your voter base that is being uncivil, nary a word from Obama.retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-51645677944390634412011-03-10T18:23:00.869-05:002011-03-10T18:23:00.869-05:00Is it already time to dust off this one?
