If health insurance for all, an end to the Iraq War, an end to torture and illegal wiretapping, and a sane energy policy can be obtained at the price of destroying one teenage girl, her family, and the surrendering our self-respect I see that as a cheap trade.
It's comments that make me wish for four years of Augusto Pinochet to clean out the trash.
keep poking the bear idiots and one day you will get the backlash from the American people that you deserve

Whenever the Left gets too much power, it always ends as Indonesia 1965, or Cambodia 1975.
The Left in this country would be very, very lucky to provoke a Pinochet. A Suharto is much more likely.
You know, I have tried my best to remain above the anger and disgust I feel for the left. I actually believe in a two-party system, and I have always thought myself tolerant of the differing political opinions of my countrymen and women. We are all Americans I thought, so no matter our differences, we will always put our country first, because if we lose our country nothing else matters. All our arguments are for naught. We disagree, but we agree that we are Americans, that's the thing. We work to make our country better, and we never lose our love of country, or our optimism that the better days are yet ahead.
Over the last few years, I have changed my mind. I now believe that the left has gone too far, and that there is no leadership on the left that understands that this whole “America is bad” deal CAN get out of hand. And that if the pressure grows beyond a reasonable meter reading, something really nasty is likely to happen. Too many people are getting fed up with the constant tearing down of our country by our left leaning countrymen and women.
I think that we need to understand that those that play with fire often get burned. And I recall a Thomas Jefferson quote about the Tree of Liberty.
These are dangerous times we are living in Ladies and Gentlemen, not only in the larger world, but perhaps in our own backyards.
I see a bit of danger is the climate does not calm down a bit.
Am I wrong?
