I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I have a fear that nothing good will come of all of this fake outrage regarding Obama being a socialist, muslim, black, etc disguised as fake outrage against taxes (for which 95% of the electorate has had theirs lowered btw).
What do you mean nothing good Ryan? This anti-Obama (b/c he's black be real) outrage has been fomenting since the latter stages of the campaign when it became clear that McCain would lose. I thought it was dangerous then and think it's even more dangerous now. Mainly because 3 Police Officers - COPS mind you - were shot dead in cold blood by a man claiming he killed them because Obama was going to take his guns, which was no doubt fomented by talking heads and irresponsible pols.
I'm all for public demonstration and citizen involvement because it makes for a GREAT POLITICAL SYSTEM. But when politicians who lost decide to advocate for the violent overthrow of an elected govt or threaten secession because they simply DON'T LIKE the person who was elected you're asking for trouble.
There are always people out there who are looking for an excuse to use violence. Whether that be the gang banger in South Central or Cletus Jethro in the backwoods. It's irresponsible for any person who has voice with these audiences to advocate violence. It's LUDICROUS and borderline criminal for elected pols and newsies to advocate violence...openly.
I pray and hope that this violent anger quells and cooler heads prevail, but it seems like it's almost strategic in nature by the svengalis calling the shots and I only fear it will get worse.
