The message is being sent out loud and clear: the American Left is moving toward violence as a tactic in its quest to grab the political power to which it believes it is entitled. John Daniel Davidson is absolutely correct in his observation that the “The American Left is talking itself into Violence.” He cites a lot of examples. Here is a sample:
Jennifer Carnahan, the new chairwoman of the Minnesota Republican Party, received a torrent of racist hate mail and at least one threat of physical violence that forced her from her home for a weekend. Carnahan, who is Korean-American, was targeted after publically apologizing and calling for the resignation of those responsible for an offensive image posted to the 7th Congressional District Republicans Facebook page.
It didn’t matter that Carnahan didn’t post the image, or that she did everything right. The folks sending the hate mail called her racist, and threw a few racial epithets directly at her for good measure.

Just in case you missed Prairie Fire in the past, here’s a link to it:

Then, there was Kent State
I’ve been reading a book about the vigilantes.
Interesting concept.
And the Obama Admin took over so many local Police Departments and neutered them, the police back off now, when a protected minority is breaking the law. This will not end well for those who think they are entitled to break the Law. (At least, that is my prayer)
This time around leftist violence will be met with greater violence. There are millions of patriots itching to end the plague of leftist influence.
The radical left and Democrats are now engaging in guerrilla politics. This is another slippery slope that will only get worse and threaten what’s left of our republic.
Just as is the article from which he cites, this is pretty weak stuff. Lifson, a very astute observer, is noticing the obvious, though
When government reneges on one of the central provisions of the social contract—ensuring the rights and safety of all citizens—government loses its authority and citizens are no longer bound by the contract.
Nothing new for the left.
A civil war, conducted with extreme prejudice against the leftists (Rwanda-style, house to house, with no prisoners taken nor surrenders on any scale accepted) is probably the only thing that can ultimately save our republic.
Are the Democrats threatening to once again fire on Fort Sumter?
“Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed”
It’s the same thing you said, and two centuries ago it was costly for the totalitarians to be forced to accept freedom. I hope they will back off this time around before it gets ugly.
History rhymes...1968.
But why? Lawrence Tribe says he can be impeached and Ann Skeletor Coulter says he is a failure. But wait maybe Skeletor will join Larry’s impeachment team. Such silly crap.
Hmmm. ‘68? I was a little busy that year. ;-)
See tag line.
Two scoops is now an impeachable offense?
And they like to call others nazis?
