Do you really think anyone is going to listen if we spit on our leaders or call them names? No. Do you thionk anyone is going to listen if throw bricks or shoot pellot guns at the offices of our leaders? No. All of these acts are going to make conservatives look like a bunch of crazy people when that is not the case at all.

If we want to make a difference in this country and get people to listen to us, we need to follow the example of Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King believed that he could make a difference through PEACEFUL protests and he made a difference.

Trust me no one on the right is going to go Bill Ayers on the country...

Bill Ayers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair confrontation between labor supporters and the Chicago police"

To foment violence, to undermine the established order, perhaps even to get someone killed, so that whoever is behind it (I've got my suspicions) can ride into Washington at the head of a little para-military force and take over the government "temporarily" to "save" America.

Don't think it can't happen and don't think there aren't people ready, willing and able to do it right now.

Nothing would surprise me. I've lived too long and seen too much. My only problem is I still hold out hope for this country. I hope I don't regret that.

I don't quite remember that. I seem to remember quite a few over the top radical groups. We call them terrorists now. And they pretty much didn't like anyone over 30 and in power. I don't hate either party that much to equate them with those killers. And I don't think either party now is behind the threats that some fringe lunatics are making now. And if some idiot follows through, the Republican Party will take the fall. And that would be a shame. Both parties stink in my opinion and don't give one hoot about the American people, but they're all we have right now.

Someone mention Dems stirring up $hit to rally to their cause and I wouldn't doubt that a bit. I mean after all liberals are a bit coocoo. But we're actually just beginning to see the stirring of the waters. It's gonna get much worse.

Yeah, repubs would never do that. They only do so in public speeches, radio and on television... but that could never stir up things in the wrong direction, now could it?

Nope, you need to buy some form of medical insurance (usually travel insurance) for medical procedures up to $50.000 minimum. You can get those relatively cheap.

Violence is NOT the answer. You get to vote, use THAT right.

Then what is? Personally I don't think a vote means anything anymore. And I'm not a nutty kook, many people feel that way. Did you see how they just trampleled on the Constitution like it's a worthless scrap of paper? Regardless of your political persuasion don't you think about that?

I mean this Dems against Pubs is getting me so stirred up I can just scream. Am I one of the few that see what the Hell is going on? The "suits" are doing whatever the hell they want the citizens be damned. It's not a political thing I think Bush was a traitor too.

So much of this is caused by wingnuts like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and the like. We need to realize these people say inflammatory things for their own gain not to benefit the country or even the party. It's all about the bottom line and too many people don't realize it.

That is precisely the point. Anytime there has been political violence in the US, from the beginning of its history to today, it has always been propagated and advocated by DEMOCRATS, not Republicans.

So if there really IS violence as a result of this socialist monstrosity foisted upon the American people by DEMOCRATS, and there has been no proof of any kind that there has been, it will be because of DEMOCRATS, not Republicans.
