The funny thing is, many of the right-wing groups are now starting to complain about aspects of the Patriot Act, even though there were curiously silent when Bush pushed it through. (and for my money, it's one of the worst, anti-freedom things ever enacted). What's changed? Not the Act, just that there's a man of color in the White House. You're right on about the way these nuts take the attitude they can do what they want 'cause it's right. I'm appalled at how people have shown up outside Obama speeches wearing sidearms. Honestly, I didn't even think that was legal, and I certainly didn't know people would dare to do this if not. The Republican leadership has been very iffy on condemning violent and racist behavior. Ever single time one of them does condemn the behavior, they make a major point of saying "It has to stop on both sides". Okay, so some people on the left have made threatening phone calls too. I don't recall hearing a Democrat call Bush a liar in chambers, nor hear about liberal protesters spitting on Congressmen. Next up? The gun rights activists plan a rally on April 19 in Washington. The killer is that they claim it's because the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired on that day. Oddly, it's also the day Timothy McVeigh bombed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. They get pissed if you try to point that out. Yet, there's no other day they could choose, to avoid that unseemly connection? But it's right because they do it. The biggest thing of all is, they have lied from the get-go that Obama's trying to limit our right to bear arms, and nothing's further from the truth. It's another way that they just put out a lie that bigots are only to happy to believe about a Democrat President who's father is of African descent. I haven't seen such concentrated hatred and willful ignorance like this since the Civil Rights/Vietnam War/Watergate days...

There's no real escape from idiots. Every nation has them. The "tea party" is an interesting experiment. When it was Black and brown people defending themselves in Los Angeles, they were called terrorists and put on very serious government watch lists. Interesting. Here's what makes this discussion NOT OT: Isn't this kind of action the beginnings of what makes a storyline like "Equilibrium" a reality? What this segment of so-called conservatives are saying is that either we do things their way or they throw tantrums the likes of which destroy property and endanger life. Their latest tantrum is over a law signed by the President of the United States. Some are threatening to sue. The Federal Government. Here's a 10 year old girl who was in danger. Everyone is saying it's getting out of hand and someone's going to get hurt or killed. Maybe I read too many comic books, but something like this happened in a comic book recently. A law was passed. A segment of society went overboard trying to uphold "the law". Everyone warned that something crazy was going to happen if it didn't calm down. Something blew up and kids were killed. These events started something called..."Civil War". It ends with Captain America being killed. Maybe I read too many comic books, but uhm...this all feels familiar.

Duren had just picked up his 10-year-old daughter from school and had her in the car with him. "He pointed at the back of my car," Duren said, "the bumper, flipped me off, one finger salute." Once he started driving again, down Blair Boulevard, towards his home, he said, "I looked in the rear view mirror again, and this same SUV was speeding, flying up behind me, bumped me." Duren said he applied his brake and the SUV smashed into the back of his car. He then put his car in park to take care of the accident, but Weisiger started pushing the car using his SUV. Duren said, "He pushed my car up towards the sidewalk, almost onto the sidewalk." -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
