Violence is not patriotism

Well the wingnuts are at it again but this time they are not content to merely call people nasty names to prove they are bigots. The extreme far right has decided to show its disapproval by breaking windows, cutting someone's gas line ( a relative of a member of Congress ) and by threatening the lives of members of Congress and their families. There is nothing patriotic to such horrible and criminal behavior. It does not matter what party a person is a member of. There is no excuse for this. NONE. This is homegrown terrorism, pure and simple. How DARE anyone take it upon themselves to threaten the lives and safety of members of Congress and their family! HOW DARE YOU! How dare you think you somehow have the RIGHT to try and force your opinion on our elected officials by threatening their lives and the lives of their loved ones! It doesn't matter what the reason is. You don't like how someone voted? Vote them out! THAT, my friend, is the American Way. To threaten the lives of those whom you disagree with --- that is a dictatorship, that is terrorism. And when you do that you are a traitor to our country and all that it stands for. Shame on you. It shows you up as a bully. And I have neither patience or sympathy towards bullies. Oh and a PS to those who use our airwaves and our tv stations to promote violence and hatred towards others --- by calling for violent revolution against our Federal government YOU are also guilty of treason. And that is not covered under the First Amendment. If ANY of our elected officials or a single member of their family is injured or dies as the result of the inciting of unstable minds to commit acts of violence then those who incited them should not be held innocent of wrongdoing.
