Certainly can’t condone emailing death threats to public officials, but I suppose under the First Amendment you are free to pray for anything?

I think the judge punted because this had the makings of one of those cases that would tie our legal system in knots for the next thirteen years.

It’s a stupid thing to say. He could have just as easily said that he prays he is removed from office or voted out. I don’t wish for any politicians death. I just want to put them out of work.

That's a claim I cannot make.

Yes that does give a whole new meaning to ‘CAP AND TRADE”.

I know that some are that passionate and angry. But all I want is to get the fools out of office. And keep them out.

Having gone to their just rewards "keeps them out". I know it's not the best way to think but at this time I see this as a battle between the future of my children against the insanity of liberalism.

I am not advocating any action but if they were to simply drop dead I would not shed a tear.

Death and jail are the olny things that put them out of work. Even if they are not reelected they still game the system and hurt us.

You’re right. And sometimes even after they’re dead. Fat Ted is an example. “Do it for Teddy!”

Mmm yeah. Forgot about him. Alcee Hastings? Is that the right name? Disgrace doesn’t work either.
