a tea bagger talking about taking up guns against liberals and non producers

That is some scary shit.  I just read a speech by one of these goof balls calling for civil war.  I guess they forget that they are firmly in the minority, and would get their asses handed to them.  I would laugh my ass off, from my liberal fiefdom in Chicago, if the right wingers suddenly tried to pull a revolution and everyone of sane mind just got their guns out and killed them off.  Bam.  Problems solved.  Sad.  This speech laid out the classic guerrilla scenario of spontaneous combustions of revolt breaking out all over.

The guys use of the term 'non-producers' is interesting too.  He wants to kill them off, along with the liberals.  Makes me think of death camps.  I forget there are actually people out there who advocate such things.  They do not get a lot of press, or they are hidden behind polite masks from most society, but there are a lot of people out there who are ready to Pogrom another. I once heard an otherwise nice 'seeming' girl say, "My mother, the social worker, says we need to kill an entire generation of blacks off."  She said it with firm conviction in her voice.

My experience with blacks is a lot of different than most white people,  I got over the us and them thing very young, and never had much of it anyways.  If anything, I was more prone toward thinking people are better than they are, not less...  The us vs them is the danger.  The taste of blood that sets off the lust of the shark.

I see these tea baggers and others as deluded into the idea that their revolution is noble.  I believe this about mine, at least some of the time.  I remember stumbling across the idea of the final solution, in my rambling dialog with myself and the word, and wondering what would I do, if the only solution to a horrendous problem, was to have a group of people killed?   I would never put such a dangerous pondering into actual practice, except as a comedic daydream venting my frustrations in my three stooges with guns fantasies.

I want to laugh this guy off.  I want to, but...  something has been festering out there in the minds of some, a diseased way of thinking that demonizes all government, and tries to give something like The Church all power.  The will of the people is what a democracy follows.  If the will of the people is to have health insurance, that hardly means they are socialist.  This issue, in my mind, requires no party affiliation.  Everyone wants health care.

The corporations and lobbies that fund these over-wrought, hateful types, use them as puppets in a show meant to convince others of their narrative.  NOT OF ANY TRUTH.  Of an entire story.  They take whatever fact they want demonized, and put it in that story.  They do not want prescription drugs to have to stand up to scrutiny about how well they work compared to cheaper drugs, so they buy a commercial to display the right-wingers who echo their message, though for entirely different reasons.  You think the right wing cares about pharmeceutical profits?  No, they are worried about birth certificates, Waco, and That Obama Character -- you know, the black one??  They say they should not be accused of being racist, but they act racist, expouse racists doctrine, and advocate a policy  that is going to have a very, very direct impact on the black community.  Blacks have much higher rates if no insurance than whites.  This has even led to some of these boofs to say this  a form or Reperation?  Forty acres and a mule, condensed down into a medicaid card.

Not that this is a race based issue.  This is a humanitarian issue.  I am merely pointing this out, because in case these red necks ever want to come to Chicago to make trouble, they should know that the blacks here are as armed as any peckerwood from out west/down south/up north....  Just kidding.  This is not a challange to my right wing, peckerwood audience.  You guys are okay, just keep watching the Care Bears and we'll up your education from there when you are ready.

I read about these guys and figure, the FBI is reading this, and more.  They must have this guy on the GPS, or they secretly approve of his actions.  You never know.  The different political parties play out there, too, I imagine.  I would think the FBI would keep watch on these types.  The ones we have to worry about are the ones that no one knows about.... but that is the thing about people who are this radical, there are some signs. You do not wake up one day and decide that stopping national healthcare is a good reason for a revolution.  This is fairly delusional to most of the free world, where they have nationalized health care.

People... I saw Obama talking about how he was trying to get people to be civil.  That was a refreshing moment for me.   Civil.  I loved the cab rides where everyone just acted civil.  Where the differences were with the facts, not the people.  Civil.  Where the messenger is never blamed.  Civil.  He went on to say the shrill voices get heard, and the civil toned is drowned out.  Yes...  this has been a problem with democrats forever, the republicans commanded the drunken passion, while we knew better.  Still, that drunken passion is powerful stuff, addictive, and it motivates people.
