Threats of violence for political ends.

No different than Brownshirt tactics. How apropos of the left.

From school referendums(teacher layoffs, no sports, no library, etc.) to the feds (no food stamps, close national parks, etc.), the tactics are the same. Threaten the most painful while neglecting the most wasteful. The first cut in a government shutdown should be Congressional salaries, WITH NO REIMBURSEMENTS.
