You seriously believe that we can "stop" this by demanding that progressives knock off the flammable rhetoric? The left is nearly irredeemable, and isn't coming back to sanity anytime soon. They're using the well worn play book of their Nazi and Bolshevik forebears, and will soon begin moving past flaming rhetoric, to real violence.
The author is right. Our country is almost on a war footing between left and right. The left dominates nearly every one of society's command and control points, and is already using their inherent power to destroy all opposition to the realization of their long quest to transform America.
They feel themselves losing their grip at the 11th hour, and will stop at nothing to achieve their ultimate goal. War is upon us, whether we want it, or not.
We, on the other hand, wish to be left alone, free to work and create and pray without being assaulted by left-wing radicals who preach hatred and demand unearned benefits at the point of a gun.
Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi were brilliant at non-violent resistance. They both died for it, but won millions of followers, and ultimately, their battles. I think it is worth a try, before we start building barricades. But for the record: all my guns are loaded, always.
You are so right!
If Obama is reelected prepare for the worse.
The left will go crazy with joy and insatiable demands for more, more, more socialism and retaliation against their opposition (us!).
If Obama is not reelected prepare for the worse.
The left will go crazy with their sense of unfair loss - In their eyes, the presidency, the entire government and the future of America belongs to them because they feel they are compassionate and think they mean well.
If they lose they know it can only be due to some underhanded force.
They will destroy the country in preference to letting others dismantle their fledgling socialist utopia.
The federal bureaucracies are overblown with leftists and they will spend their energy sabotaging a new administration just as they sabotaged the Bush administration for 8 years.
Outside the bureaucracies we can already see what the future holds with the increasing gang/mob racist violence. If Obama loses the election it will be like the 1960's Watts, Newark, and Detroit riots, but 1,000 times worse.
