Things will never be the same in America from this moment forward. When 66-year-old James Hodgkinson attempted to gun down as many Republican members of Congress as possible at a baseball field in Virginia, he permanently shattered the notion that we could go back to the way that things used to be in this country. At one time, Republicans and Democrats may have strongly disagreed with one another over the issues, but there was always a certain code of civility that everyone understood and respected. But now that is long gone, and if our politicians and the big media outlets continue to fuel the rising hatred in this country, it won’t be too long before we are dealing with widespread chaos and civil unrest from coast to coast.
Most of the anger and frustration that we are currently witnessing is being fueled by the left. On his radio show yesterday, Rush Limbaugh accused the left of openly promoting violence…
“I have been worried for quite a while about the cumulative effect or impact of this constant anti-Trump hysteria everywhere in mainstream media: New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC,” Limbaugh told listeners.
“It’s hysteria. It’s lies. It’s things that are completely manufactured about Trump personally, about Trump and Russia, about climate change, about any number of things.
“I have been very concerned about what all of this is doing to the average, base Democrat voter. I have sensed them getting more and more fringe and imbalanced, and the evidence for it is everywhere in the things that they tweet. They openly promote violence, and advocate some of the most despicable things happening to their political enemies.”
Someone like James Hodgkinson is not produced in a vacuum. There has been a steady pattern...

>>Most couldn’t sight in a gun in a day with unlimited ammo. Probably aren’t even aware of the concept.
You can buy an AR-15 that will hit a pie plate at 100 yards right out of the box. These people aren’t learning to take prairie dogs at 200 yards for bragging rights.
They possess a willingness to employ lawless violence that we are not ready to do yet. They are taking that and adding functional firearms skills. Don’t sell them short. Overconfidence is not a good survival tool in a civil war.
It’s getting close to “Will no one rid me of this loathsome President.”
Why do unhinged lefties like Hodgkinson think that someone like Bernie Sanders or Hillary or any Democrat will ever meaningfully redistribute the wealth of the USA to them and people like them? Where has this happened in any communist country? The Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, etc. all had/have a ruling elite which lives well and gets all the privileges and materials goods available, and then there is pretty much everybody else living a substandard, poverty-stricken, suppressed and unfree life.
Unhinged lefties, Bernie and his ilk are not going to give you much of anything. In power, they are going to take everything they can from you and hand you back poverty and lack, while they live in wealth and comfort.
Again, they're getting range time and they're getting better.
Don't be the guy saying in 1941 that the Japanese can't shoot because they wear those thick glasses or the Southerner in 1860 saying Yankees can't shoot because they're wusses.

It is really nauseating to think of seeing Bill Maher naked and then um, continuing with him. I don’t know how she did it. Even with the lights off, he might say something and you’d hear that voice. Everything about him is ugly and disgusting.
Your choice of vocabulary expression proves my point. Therefore I will engage no further.
They may be getting range time.
Where is the evidence they’re getting better?
The Swamp wants martial law with a swamp creature in charge.
They will goad the American public into fighting each other to justify it.
___________________________________________________________
The Swamp lives in it’s own echo chamber and believes itself to be immune from retribution once the chaos starts.
But do they know the difference between concealment and cover?
We hear about the "hero" Capital police acting as a personal protection unit. We know that the 2 officers engaged and neutralized the threat.
But..
The shooter apparently had been shooting for minutes before being engaged.
So that leaves the obvious question; where were these two when the situation started?
My guess is in the car, playing on their phones while practice went on.
Now, we have to ask how serious these hero AA types were to defending a bunch of Republicans. Not so much, it seems. Until they had to and even then it seems their skills were lacking.
“The Swamp wants martial law with a swamp creature in charge.
They will goad the American public into fighting each other to justify it.”
Bingo
The little city I grew up in had two large high schools.
There was plenty of rivalry.
My Sister married a guy who went to the other high school.
I didn’t try to kill him or my Sister.
I took him to a bar and bought him a drink and welcomed him into our family.
This assassination attempt is not about a rivalry between Democrats and Republicans.
It was about the Democrat tribe fearing that the money they steal from the government treasuries was going to be cut off.
The thieves in the Democrat tribe will kill to maintain their thievery.
Thank you and well said!! Very good reply.
A USA CWII and WWIII will be one of the same calamity.
Uh, go ahead and presume they don't know how to use that AK-47...
If this follows the well-worn pattern we saw in the 70's, there is likely to be a rash of bombings next, whose success may be measured in part by the fact that William Ayers is still walking the streets a free man. I'm not giving anyone any ideas they don't already have in stating this. The Left can still step back from the brink by abjuring the violent radicals, but they show no sign of doing so. The media can help by shaming those radicals, but they show no sign of doing so. Partisan government officials can still clamp down on it by enforcing the law even-handedly but many of them show no inclination to do so. The violence is nearly all one-sided, and only that side can stop it. When it becomes two-sided no one can. This is madness.
From news 24/7 to talk radio....and they all need listeners to keep their jobs and networks going.....we’re the target.
So true keeping everyone’s sponsors happy
The cold hard fact is that they failed in their jobs.
Their job was to protect the Congressman, and they failed.
I know that everyone wants to go back to their warm, fuzzy safe place, but the truth is the truth.
The bodyguards failed to do their jobs.
Rush and Ann have NEVER advocated violence.
They also stick to the truth.
They address what the Left is up to, and for this you claim they also egg on violence?
Good freaking grief.
Who would you suggest should address the Leftist’s activities and talk about the truth of what they are up to?
