"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." Thomas Jefferson

.................and YOUR definition of "anarchy?"

If the Democrats would have reacted this way against the Republicans during the Bush administration's total abuse and disregard for the Constitution in so MANY instances --- they would have been labled "Unpatriotic, commie pinko sympathizers!" When Rush Limbaugh gets on national radio and says, "These people should be annihilated!" Quite FRANKLY...............this goes WAY over the line. I hope the really sane independents out there take a good LONG hard look and see whether or not THESE are the people we want calling the shots --- AGAIN -- like we had the 6 years they controlled BOTH Houses of Congress and the Presidency and we heard "nada" concerning Health Care. Once Again -- can anyone "quote" me a Republican who even mentioned any concern for the 30 million un-insured?

And by the way -- a great big "chuckle" to those in the red states who think they can yell "screw the FEDERAL government" when it comes to healthcare and then put their hat out for Federal Highway money and Federal Disaster relief, etc. etc. etc. The government is always the "boogey" man until something happens that proves totally ineffective in their STATE --- and the cry is, "Why doesn't the government DO something!" Keep in mind dear men --- nobody wept BIG tears when for 12 years the Republicans "pork barreled" the country into debt allocating BIG Federal dollars into THEIR state projects!

Hopefully the independent voters are watching carefully.

Exactly!!

You're an ass... Leave your bitterness for your years in Texas somewhere else, and stop picking on an entire state of people because some fool wants to quote Jefferson. Its beneath you and the ideas and arguments you bring to this board, and I'm frankly tired of it.

Too bad that my comment about Texas offends you. I'm an ass? Tell me something new. I've always admitted on this big pee pee site to being a big, flaming ass(hole) and a snob. Nothing new. I'm up to the job. But in lieu of the 5 folks on the Texas Board of Education's Text Book selection committee, the irony of Nick of the Sixes suddenly quoting Thomas Jefferson is WAY too ironic -- and hysterically funny. :smile:

Betsy Markey's (D-Colorado) chief of staff confirmed her office had reported two separate incidents to the Capitol police and asked Fort Collins police to step up patrols around Markey's home and her district office.



Anne Caprara said the calls came on Saturday before the House cast its final vote on She said in the first, the caller said to one of Markey's staff members, "better hope I don't run into you in a dark alley with a knife, a club or a gun."

Those adorable Republicans and their family values. Jesus would be proud.

Why do you assume it was a republican? Most extremists do not belong to either major party.

You are certifiable lady. Thankfully with the passage of HCR you can get the help you need. I hope the electroshock treatment helps you.

Again, I'm seeing hate coming from both sides. Radicals will resort to violence, no matter what side of the fence of you're on. Hate speech is not unique to one party, religion, etc.

lol the T cut cut off, so on the latest posts bar on the side I saw what I assumed to be "Right Wing goes VIOLIN"

I assumed it was an emo wrist violin reference

There's this thing called reasoning perhaps you should try it. If Democrats are threatened and Republicans are the ones making the threats then reason dictates that if a threat is carried out then a Republican is the perpetrator.

 

[B_hijack]

Well, they are likely political, otherwise they wouldn't care. If they are political then they likely have a party affiliation. Since they certainly wouldn't be Democrats, and likely not Independents, I can only assume they they are Republicans. This is a slight tautology, and not even the main reason why I think these terrorists are Republican. The real reason is their history of violence.

Not one GOP leader has stepped out and asked their constituents to end the violence. Not one! McCain's half-hearted appeal doesn't count. The Republican leadership has been encouraging the violence. The other day, GOP Rep. Steve King told a crowd, "Let's beat that other side to a pulp! Let's take them out! Let's chase them down! There's going to be a reckoning!" Imagine a congressman saying this!?!?!

Sarah Palin told her fans to "reload" and used the scope target image over Democrats who voted for healthcare.

This is barbaric, uncivilized behavior. They are irresponsible in inciting civil violence and, again, showing they they are sore losers.

I thought that the GOP platform was simply, "We don't have a platform, we just hate Obama, and we'll use the filibuster as much as possible." Now I'm thinking it's, "Pick up your guns and stop Obama at all costs!"

This has gone way beyond hate speech. We're talking about ACTS OF VIOLENCE and DEATH THREATS towards duly elected members of congress.

well, while i have no doubt that many of these wingnuts may in fact be republicans, and are complete lunatics, let us remember the various movements of the 1990s (all those weird militant groups)....

IIRC and i may be off here since i do not pay attention to these nutters, but weren't all those groups like the Michigan Militia, sort of these non-aligned, non-party Whackos in general, sitting out in the woods in camouflage? The black helicopter crowd who don't trust *ANYONE* in the government?

I could be wrong since as i said, i do not pay attention to these nuts...but guys like them, the Unabomber, the guy who just flew his plane into the federal building, Terry Nichols/Timothy McVeigh and all these guys, tend to be unaligned, and just batshit crazy and furious at everything Federal,no?

Oswald, Hinckley, nutcases all.

I know there are plenty of neo-nazis, white power types around, and they hate everyone.

these nuts hate federalism in general, think the UN is taking over America, and a host of other novel concepts...and it is not a stretch for them to hate blacks, jews, democrats, republicans, catholics etc. alike.


If anyone has more knowledge of these groups and their political alignments i will gladly defer to their knowledge on the topic, as i stopped paying attention to these loonies some time in the mid-90s.

You know, I belong to the Coffee Party and am so not a teabagger. Well except with my husband. But this how Lenin and the Bolsheviks grabbed power in Russia and Hitler and the Nazis did it in Germany. I’m not Republican or Democrat. The only party affiliation I confess is to the nascent Coffee Party. Obama won in 2008. For the first time in 12 years we had a clear message from all over America. The 46.5% that weren’t on board will have to live with it. Like the 49+% who weren’t on board with “W”.

 

[Flashy]

Well, now they are targeting the republicans, so at least the folks here cannot say it is totally partisan. :smile:

someone fired a bullet into Eric Cantor's campaign office

[Industrialsize]

Late late update: The Associated Press is calling this a "possible gunshot" and describes the office as that of a political consultant for Cantor, not his campaign office.
But Cantor's spokesman, Brad Dayspring, tells TPMDC that it was indeed his campaign office.
Late late late update: From the local paper: "Cantor, in an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch, said he doesn't know whether the shot was random or aimed at the building."

In other words, Cantor LIED

That pretty much sums it up.

But...

Sarah Palin and Glen Beck are beloved by many members of such groups or from like minded lone wolfs with houses full of weaponry, which is a LOT of people in this country.

Glen Beck and Sarah Palin say that they are Libertarians or whatever, but they are nothing more than right wing conservatives in reality. They are soldiers in the conservative army and are as closely aligned with the Republicans as anyone could get.

Many Republicans don't like black or brown folk, they are simply racist. Many of those same Republicans have a house full of guns and a desire to destroy all things that are liberal.

I have known a few skinheads and white power junkies in my day. They are all fiscal conservatives simply because they don't want any of their tax dollars going to help any ethnic people.

They are now all grown up and are the people coming to the health care rallies with guns strapped to their legs exercising their "right to bear arms".

Why do the history books not portray the KKK as the terrorists that they were?

There is always been a strong undercurrent of white supremacy throughout this country's history.

It is alive and well today.

Blacks, Jews, Asians and Hispanics are not in any way a part of these militias, they are almost exclusively Anglo-European.

Right wing militia members make GREAT bed partners with the Republican party.

The tea parties are inventions of the conservative right wing, they are pulling the strings. There should be no confusion about this matter.

Ah, the amusing irony of someone who lives in Texas quoting Thomas Jefferson. :biggrin1:...........I think it's unusual also since the school text book committee kicked Tomas out and replaced him with some religious nut. I think John Calvin but need to look it up.
