First of all let me say that my previous comments not withstanding I do consider myself a moderate. My best friend, the best man I know in the world, is a staunch Republican. There is a place for moderation in this country and we would be better off if we found our way to it. I am a union man, I make no apologies for that and will stand by that to my dying day.
But without trying to sound like a Democratic shill, which I am not, what is it with these Republicans and their violent gun imagery.
We all know about Sarah Palin's "crosshairs" image on her website and we heard Sharon Angle talking about " second amendment remedies." Still one assumed that perhaps the Arizona shooting of Gabby Giffords, one of those displayed in Palin's crosshairs would have a moderating effect on this sort of violent speech.
It has not. We are constantly being advised we need to take our country back. Our President is a socialist, a communist, a Muslim. Yesterday a former Presidential candidate and assumed one this next time stated that the President was influenced by growing up in Kenya. It is easy to see why he made that mistake. Kansas and Kenya sound alot alike. What a ridiculous statement. More ridiculous is the fact that Fox partisans will take his statement as fact and corrections by non Fox sources of his statement as part of the left wing conspiracy.
Sharon Angle, unelectable, but still at it calls Harry Reid public enemy number one in a speech this past week and The Speaker of the House Boehner yesterday stated that state workers are holding a machine gun to the heads of government.
Unbelievable. Sorry Gabby you could not expect the discourse to change could you. Unbelievable.
