And if the LOSERS keep pushing they are going to be sorry they ever stepped foot in a Democratic Town Hall meeting. We are sick of their Nazi tactics, their threats and disruptions and I am telling you from my point of view and from what I hear that all HELL is about to break loose if they keep it up/
Big talk for the side without all the guns.

Keep talking. If, when, it gets to the point where bullets are flying, dip****s like you are going to **** your pants and pray to the god you don't believe in to swoop down and save your ass.

It isn't up to you. If someone wants it, they will take it from you. This post illustrates the hatred that is dividing America

I consider myself jaded. Maybe that's what keeps me from going ape-**** over a new administration or new course of action. There are very few things that that I think are worth getting riled up about anymore. In fact, I think it's interesting that we might be trying big, new things. Whether things work in the long run or not, at least it breaks the monotony. And I'm not going to live forever!
I couldn't agree more with the bolded sentence. Maybe it's something that comes with age.

Politics today seems like a soccer game. The losers go ape-**** and become violent and destructive. While government is certainly more important than soccer, the attitude among the losers seems no different.

One thing is for certain, despite all his flowery promises before the election, we are currently witnessing the most partisan, narrow minded president I have ever seen, who actually tells his opponents to "stop talking" and whose White House incites the unions into violence.
I think we would have a much better go of it all if our President didn't have such a large chip on his shoulder.

I've never had a problem with anyone who would disagree with a POV .. we are entitled to our opinions. But having the WH talk in such a way as it has been is a bit disgruntling.
If anything, the WH should be encouraging the discussion.

I know plenty of Democrats and Independents that voted for Obama that are only just now sitting back going WTF over some of this stuff.

The divide can be handled by giving people the choice. Those who are opposed to government run things should be let loose and be on their own. With regards to health care, they could opt out of medicare, and government should only create a public option and forget about regulating private insurance. Those who love their corporations and the corporatists, deserve to deal with that. Others who support government plan should get it.

And this should be extended to everybody, including government employees. The politicians who hate government run plans, they should leave their government plan and get private coverage, and vice versa.

Sounds like you run in a social circle filled with retarded people.

Internet badass? No...but I've been there and done that, so I can say I know what combat is like.
