16. Their whacko theory of individual sovereignty...

...and naturally "Second Amendment Remedies" is a clear and present danger to the good people of this country. Check out this article I posted about how the new trend in the White Supremacist/right-wing extremist movement in general is to move to the Northwest and try to create the "homeland."

I've gotten into some shouting matches with Larouchies in Portland. I have no tolerance for their message of hate and death.

I saw the story about the Washington State Trooper Tony Radulescu and the picture of the suspect with his shaved head. Given that the guy apparently had served time for domestic violence and methamphetamine production, it's certainly possible he has ties to White Supremacists. What is clear is that he as felon, had no trouble obtaining a handgun, and no hesitation in using it to murder a law enforcement officer.

I am worried about this next year. The message that is circulating through the right-wing air is that this election is almost apocalyptic and it is sure to bring out the whackos. I still remember how January 8, 2010 felt watching footage from that shopping mall in Phoenix. I will not forget.
