Ordinarily, I’d thank you for writing.
But truth is, I am not grateful you wrote; your note last week was one of the more troubling things I have read. I do not blame you for leaving it unsigned.
“We stand together,” I had written. “We stand defiant. And we stand with Boston.”
You disagreed.
“Your wrong pal we do not STAND TOGETHER.OH MY GOD we need a CIVIL WAR.The American people against the LIBERAL DEMACRAT SCUM that we have let allow SCUMBAGS like those that would BLOW UP people in BROAD DAYLIGHT to be here ... WE NEED A CIVIL WAR.Those demacrats that happen to still be breathing after that CIVIL WAR will have a choice. BECOME NORMAL or you are LEAVING with the 11 million illegals that ARE GOING HOME ... THIS IS SO CLOSE TO HAPPENING THAT EVERY LIBERAL IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD START LOSING SLEEP ... THERE IS A CLEAR REASON WHY WE ARE ARMED TO THE TEETH ...”
And you know, there was a time, not so long ago, I’d have laughed off your semi-coherent, misspellings-riddled rant. But I don’t laugh so much anymore, because you concretize a question I have been struggling with: Is America sustainable? Can a nation pulling so energetically in opposite directions survive?
We call it hyper-partisanship, polarization, balkanization. But those are SAT words, polysyllabic expressions that make abstract what they describe. So let us face what you embody and call it by name. It is hatred. And it is contempt.
It’s not just you. It’s Arkansas state legislator Nate Bell tweeting, “I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine?” as the hunt for bombers closed that city down....

Photos along with the postmarked envelope, or it didn’t happen.
Even then, he or a confederate could’ve sent them while traveling or some such. Look how that guy in Mississippi was easily framed for the ricin mailings.
I’d believe it. With over 300,000,000 people in this nation, there really are a fair number of crazies at both extremes.
I’ve wondered how long it will take until we end up with a few guys who go all Michael Douglas. After all, a LOT of men are “Falling Down” these days. It only takes one or two, and many of them are not restrained by a love of Jesus.
I think the liberals are right to fear “crazed conservatives” if it gets bad enough. It only takes a few and they are like cancer cells. We all have em, but if you exacerbate the situation, you actually “get cancer”. Same thing can happen as more and more people fall into the situation described by Gerald Celente: “When people lose everything and have nothing to lose, they lose it.”
Wut miss spellinks?
You disagreed.

A little (OK a lot) of sanity is needed here. Some balance.
Boston created, cultivated and is responsible for the climate and culture that prompted two terrorists to blow up the Boston Marathon. I DO NOT stand with Boston.
Nor do I yell "WE NEED A CIVIL WAR" and carry on in that fashion. While it may be coming, and if it does; it will be a result of liberal agendas, I pray I'm dead and gone before that day.

Leonard is a liar, but he just may have gotten a letter from some nut. He’s using it to tar everybody who disagrees with his far-left agenda. Profiling.
Did you stand with New York on 9/12? How about Shanksville, Pennsylvania or Arlington, Virginia?
I guess that's the new sign a really wacko comment is coming ...
And here it is ...
Boston created, cultivated and is responsible for the climate and culture that prompted two terrorists to blow up the Boston Marathon. I DO NOT stand with Boston.
Tom Menino, terrorist mastermind -- who could have guessed?
All I can say (to the alleged author) is Stand Watie, is that you?!
Do you not know Boston is a liberal town? Have you never heard of politicians like Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Mitt Romney and worse?
They made their bed. Now they must lie in it.
Do you blame the victims?
Cleary, I don’t. So what exactly is your problem?
Color me highly skeptical. Pitts is a stereotype-bound, racist, liberal moron most of the time. But he doesn't have a monopoly on it, so anything's possible.
Was that somehow because of Texas politics? Or did it have more to do with Islam or the Middle East?
Same thing here. Did this have more to do with Chechnya and militant Islam or with local Massachusetts politics?
Cleary, I don’t. So what exactly is your problem?
Not so clear, though. Not from what you wrote.
A Saudi student was charged with planning a terror assault in Texas a few years back.

I’m drawing a total blank here. I’m sure if you told me, I’d remember. But the point is that Texas is not conducive to radical islamo-facist ideology. Boston is.
My answer to Leonard is:
PTTTS OFF!
Also Hosam Maher Husein Smadi.
Also, Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri.
Stuff like this gets planned in different parts of the country, not just in Boston.
I wish we could get beyond exploiting it for political gain, but if you can't, people aren't going to automatically assume that you're not attacking the victims.
Ahh. The old chickens coming home to roost meme.
Ward Churchill, is that you?
Your approach also has a good deal in common with Michael Moore's being upset that the killers on 911 attacked NYC, which didn't deserve it. Why didn't they attack Dallas or Mobile, which did?
