(8,548 posts)For one, I kind of resent it because it smacks too much of "they'd better get their way or else."
And two, I'm p-oed that we as a nation, have even come to a place in time, in our nation's history, where fear of the radically disturbed, the domestic terrorist, and of the disgruntled, violently inclined, seems to rule the day, as if those elements aren't the ones who should exercise CAUTION.
And I think the reason WHY we've come to this is because of a few too many one-arm-tied, knife to a gunfight, both-sider types -with their false equivalencies, defense of the indefensible, and their 'going high' rationalizations that only seem (IMO) to embolden the fascists, the supremacists, and the anarchists even further.
Newsflash, Bill. We are ideologically and politically already at war with them. And their aims are to end democracy, install a dictator, and rewrite the fabric, the very MEANING of America. Any questions?
