The left has gone off the cliff, aided in part by the l*****t MSM. They have gone so far that they are creating hatred for themselves, that may not be reversible. They are already demonstrating a degree of behavior that is far beyond what is considered civilized, and I'm sure I'm not alone in my contempt for them.

George Will is not a conservative! He thinks he is, but in actuality he's just a blue blood stuffed shirt and that's all he has ever been!

History demonstrates that people will tolerate a lot of abuse, but a day will finally come when the last straw breaks the camel 's back!

Excellent article! The Founders were wise and they poured their hearts, minds and souls into creating a country that wouldn't be easy to tear down!

If America hands power back to the socialist/c*******t party, sufficient to run the show, it doesn't deserve to survive, and will be committing suicide!

If our government ever comes against the American people, they will embolden a force outnumbering themselves, easily 20 times greater, even including the military, even without mass desertion! They would be well advised to not cross that line, as casualties on their side would lend us more weapons.

I'm not going to even form an opinion until facts replace the speculation I'm hearing about this, and I'm a conservative NC citizen and v**er.

I'm inclined to think you're right!
Same goes for that collar that many of them wear and think impresses you.

I've never v**ed for a democrat, and I was a Goldwater supporter before I could even v**e. Democrats weren't believable, especially after WWII.

As a very conservative NC citizen and v**er, I do not defend or support any type of v****g fraud, suppression or irregularity
by anyone, for any reason!

Well, the lion's share of it does seem to come from the democrat party and we don't see any denouncing of it, going on within the party. It's pretty clear that the democrat party seems to stand for nothing good for America, and really does represent a bunch of mentally disordered individuals.

I too, found the fear associated with the tea party quite amusing because the tea party gatherer's
we're noted for their exemplary
conduct and cleaning the grounds used, not leaving behind any trash, as l*****ts are so noted for.

You have a point, worthy of consideration and discussion. You are referring to what we know as "asset forfeiture", I think. I don't believe it has anything to do with fringe on
our f**g, or any kind of change
in our constitutional governance,
but has everything to do with
courts and judges allowing the
"Bill of Rights" being subverted
because it was against "bad
guys", never mind that it affected, in some cases, honest
citizens, folks who weren't aware that they could be caught up and adversely affected, in it.
The blame is ultimately on "we the people" for not being vigilant
enough and holding our govt. accountable!

Thank you very much for your logical and reasoned post. For at least 2-3 decades, I've heard argument that the fringe signified a fundamental change in the nature of our country and suspension of our Constitution. I've never found this to be compelling but didn't know enough to fully get beyond those arguments. Thanks!

In listening to all kinds of talk radio and reading conservative blogs, I once came across an advocate for the k**ler of the a******n doctor in Panama City, FL, in the early '90's. I was appalled and called the show to offer rebuttal. That guest and a couple callers turned on me big time. It was my introduction to the fact that there are indeed some "right wing lunatics" out there, but I have encountered very little of it, compared to "left wing lunies". Generally speaking, I am disappointed with the level of discourse on Internet blogs, and whether from right or left, it signals immaturity, lack of character, moral values and just plain decency, and many comments are in poor taste. I am unabashedly conservative and consider myself a Christian and I don't accept just anyone as speaking for conservatives or Christian's. I would have to know more about the backdrop story behind this representative making this faux pas. It sounds like she may have been offering a hypothetical assertion to dramatize a point, but I can't be sure as of now. I will say that in modern day public discourse, impulsive and poorly worded and delivered statements are potentially dangerous and d******e, and mark some folks as having little reason and self control. Regardless of who started it, some statements from
the other side are scaring us and
none of us are well served by it, no matter which side we're on.
