(to all, pardon my vanity)
I have growing feelings of unease about the situation in America (I am Dutch and look from a distance). There is something brewing over there, something bad. Politicians under attack is bad, regardless of their conviction. Politics should be a civilized way of settling disagreements and conflicts. I think that there is a growing rift between decent debate and hardening activism, which takes on the guise of extremism as we speak.
The health care bill doesn’t improve things at all. If 60+% of citizens don’t approve the road taken, and that road is not abrogated but pushed through with unworthy tactics and strategies, it’s an open invitation for violent opposition. People basically non-violent who are robbed of essential freedoms can be provoked to turn to violence. It’s in human nature. I don’t condone that behaviour, but can understand it.
I hope that there will be a rise in true patriotism. It’s one of the very few characteristics that binds a people, and does not drive it apart.
Time for change. Yes you can.
This is where I take exception with Glenn Beck. He said violence solves nothing. I would have to ask him about the Founders fight for independence, the civil war and other times when this country stood up. I would hate to see it but the Democrats are pushing the people beyond tolerance. They best consider this. It didn’t work for communists and progressives of the past but their intentions were to destroy this country. This country stands up to protect itself in any way necessary.
I’d be curious but not enough to turn on the tv. You can let us know right?
And that is exactly the spark that will ignite OUR movement to ACTION. Only God can help them when that happens.
Cantor’s a bright new star in the Republican sky. The Chicago Communists want him gone.
Conservatives want to be left alone. We have jobs and families. We actually have to sacrifice our personal time to attend town halls and tea parties. We are very animated now and Election day can't come soon enough. But by our very nature, we do not vandalize, threaten violence, assualt, or steal. We will DEFEND Life an Liberty from those who attack it. And we will defend ourselves.
If history has any telling, the radical left is very violent. Just look at Jim Jones, Bill Ayers, and Lee Harvey Oswald:
Jim Jones-Takes the honor of killing the only sitting Congressman, Leo Ryan.
Bill Ayers-The Weather Underground attacked the Pentagon, the first prior to 9/11. It was on May 19, 1972, Ho Chi Minhs birthday and was applauded by leftist groups worldwide.
Lee Harvey Oswald-Lived in the Soviet Union and was an avowed Communist. He assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

There are too many to name.
Were there any specific verbal threats made to indicate what this was about? He’s been outspoken against Ozero lately for criticizing Israel’s policy of building in Jerusalem. Could it be about that?
"Did I say that..?"
At least it wasn’t a brick!
The U.S. is devolving into a Weimer Germany situation in the early 1930’s.
The Obamabots are followers of a personality cult, so I let you guess which German political party they most resemble.
Obama is bombing the Reichstag. Intent is to cancel the elections in November.
Hopeful this is going to die down but, I have a feeling as the election get closer it could get much uglier.
Off the top of my head:
Liberal terrorists and groups who also pose (or posed) a threat to freedom and civilization:
Earth Liberation Front, ACORN, Ted Kaczynski (Unibomber), Bill Ayers, Bernedine Dorne, The BlackPanthers, PETA, GreenPeace, Earth First, Animal Liberation Front, Lee Harvey Oswald (Left Wing Radical Communist), SirhanSirhan, Earth First, Charles Manson, Ira Einhorn, The list goes on and on...
Fox amended the report a short while ago. This didn’t happen overnight, it happened Monday.
This will surely be the lead story in all the news.
Hmm...and just hearing about it today?
Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us — Thomas Jefferson
