One Week and One Day Into 2011 and THIS?
What The Hell Is Wrong With People?
I know, I know... we don't know anything yet. Other than the shootings and some deaths in Arizona. But really, people? This is how you think a democracy should be run? Kill children and Federal judges and (try to) assassinate a duly elected member of Congress?
I hate to get into side rumors, but given that the Congresswoman was on the "hit list" with a target on some websites, at some point you gotta consider that some idiot is going to take you up on this line of rhetoric. I read a comment about overhearing some people in a store in AZ, suggesting that she had it coming because she was a liberal and that maybe if she dies she can be replaced with a Republican by the governor. No. This is NOT how you want your country to be governed.
The Bottom Line
I have no patience with terrorists or those who incite terrorism. Even if they are deranged or ill, they can still be incited.
And I am not interested in America falling apart.
So a lot of people need to suck it up and start acting like Americans.

While I don't mind anonymous postings by those who don't have a LiveJournal account -- though I do screen them -- given the polarization on this topic, being truly anonymous (i.e. nameless / faceless) and posting just to get people to look at your link seems a bit disingenous. Particularly as there is no basis given for where on the spectrum one is going. So as a result, I won't be passing it on. But thanks for playing the home game.
