The GOP no longer believes in the Constitution. They have a mess on their hands and they don't know how to handle it. They have 'run at the mouth' media personalities advocating hate of anyone by those that want to destroy this country. And the GOP does NOTHING to stop it.
In most States, that level of hatred followed by action is a prosecutable offense. But, in this case with Elected Federal Officials receiving death threats followed by threatening actions, that is more than a prosecutable offense. That is a direct attempt to kill in significant numbers the very people that pass laws in this country. It is treason and nothing short of it. They want to disable the government processes. They want to stop the legislative body from acting to carry out the needs of the people of this country.
No doubt carrying out the law the way it should be carried out would only inflame the circumstances the 'peaceable' people of this country need to operate within their lives day to day. And martyring someone like Palin would be a mistake with the same inflammatory results.
But, the one sure way it can be stopped is for the GOP to state they will no longer LIE for political advantage or CROSS THE LINE between church and state. I'll be discussing that when it comes up in the Health Care Reform Law. But, the members of the GOP have to stop being cowards and actually stand up against the hatred and stand up for the Constitution.
Everyone should be ashamed of themselves. For eight long years, in an environment of lies and deceit and assault against personal rights the Democrats abided by the laws and Constitution and worked hard to win back the country. We are still working hard.
It is easy to a 'symbol of POWER' with an advocacy of violence. It is quite something else to actually live with reality and the boundaries between Church and State and be grateful for it.
March 24 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. House leaders of both parties condemned threats of violence directed at Democratic lawmakers following approval of the U.S. health-care overhaul.
“We’ve had very serious incidents that have occurred in the last 48 or 72 hours,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland told reporters today. “Anyone who feels at risk is getting attention from the proper authorities.” He said “a significant number, meaning more than 10” members received threats.
Emotions have run high in Washington during debate on the health-care plan. On March 20, lawmakers said Tea Party protesters, who oppose the plan, shouted racial epithets at black House members outside the Capitol. On the House floor, a Republican lawmaker shouted “baby killer” on March 21 as anti- abortion Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak explained why he decided to vote for the bill....
This is exactly what happens when people are allowed to believe they can actually coupe the Constitution of the United States of America as a political strategy.
Let it be a lesson to everyone.
No one should ever let it happen again.
Let's hope no one gets hurt and really makes a lesson out of this atrocity of political gaming.
