Ooh, goody, this is a juicy topic we can all appreciate because it touches every single person in the country. I agree on the one hand that the conservative blogs are overreacting to the report, but I also agree that the report is itself extremely alarmist. And I agree that we should fear government structure more than any single governing person or party.
So what do we do now? Obama's team needs to put a lid on this kind of idiocy. If they know about specific groups, e.g. Aryan Nation, that need extra attention, then by all means, spell that out, but otherwise this report is just another stupid blunder by an administration that seems not to understand the political situation it inherited. Lots more to discuss, I hope I don't miss the best bits of discussion tomorrow morning. On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 9:02 PM, Maureen wrote: > > I tried to tell them.
