Ciancia's views appear to be in line with the anti-government Patriot movement, whose members subscribe to the theory that a powerful secret alliance of international elites is plotting to form a one-world government, also known as a New World Order.

According to the SPLC’s sources, the 'Patriots' consider the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, a participant of the global conspiracy.

The note found in Ciancia's bag after the shooting spree also contained references to the Federal Reserve, the New World Order conspiracy theory and 'fiat currency' - any money declared by a government to be legal tender.

Paul Ciancia, 23, who is currently listed in critical condition after being shot by police Friday, was carrying a one-page handwritten manifesto in which he called Napolitano a 'bull d***' and said 'FU Janet Napolitano,' according to a report from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

On one hand, he was clearly suffering a mental breakdown. On the other, if you are crazy enough to buy what these "Patriot" types are selling, then these kinds of attacks become logically necessary. So what we have here is the intersection between a poisonous ideology and and mentally ill people cut loose by the general society.

Maybe we should just start putting lithium in the water supply...

my only point is that if one is truly convinced that TSA agents are comparable to Nazi storm troopers and concentration camp guards, what he is in the news for having done (not making suicide threats) is indeed rational. And it is why people like Glenn Beck should be shunned and called out for what they are. Inciters of violence.

This is what happens when a Foxnews fan has the propensity for violence and severe stupidity.

have made it perfectly clear. Neal Boortz, for example, used to regularly tell his listeners outright not to believe anything they heard on his show unless they had a another, reliable source (in other words, he was telling them that he wasn't a reliable source). Limbaugh calls himself an entertainer. And so on.

If they ordinary repub. Joes are not aware of that, it's only because they don't want to be aware of it.

this time we got a peek into the crowds of people running for their lives in an airport.

Imagine what it was like in all the others were many more were killed.

Something has got to be done about the violence in this country.

Prayers for those involved in this event.
