for the most part because I live here in the land of loons and DU is one of the forums I come to read about how the Democrats are going to solve the problems Bush left for Obama to fix.
This nutjob with the shotgun is about half nuts. I would go ahead and say that he's completely nuts, but in St. Maries, he is more of the norm rather than the extremist.
It's sad to say, but we have pockets of idiots that form villages out here and somehow they get by living in their community, hating anything the federal government does for anybody, hating the Democratic party because Rush told them to, quoting the Bible and Hitler in the same paragraph if not in the same sentence, and now they are consumed with hate for Obama simply because he is black and he is the President of the United States.
I don't know if the Secret Service knows how bad the situation really is out here in I-dee-ho, but they had better double the number of men protecting him so that this country doesn't explode in the event of an attempt on the President's life.
If I could, I would throw myself in the way of any bullet shot at President Obama to prevent a madman from trying to overturn his being elected. I felt the same way about Bush, there is no need for violence against the President at any time for any reason. I learned that when JFK was assassinated and this whole country mourned the loss of one of our finest Presidents.
Except for a few sick individuals who celebrated upon learning about JFK's murder. The United States will always have sick individuals like that living here. People who live in the past, and want to turn the clock back.
Perhaps that person in St. Maries will lose his right to own a firearm. That would be the worst punishment a nutjob like him would have to endure. Census workers shouldn't have to put up with that type of garbage from other people. What that nutjob did was a criminal act, not the act of a good citizen.
I could go on and on, but as you might have already figured out, St. Maries is teabagger territory, where Sarah P is worshipped, Rush is quoted, and Fox News is their only source for information because they truly believe that the people at Fox News are the only ones willing to tell them the truth about Obama's "socialist agenda".
