"either understand they are seeing a play, musical put on for amusement or actually believe that what they are seeing is real." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 1938 Orson Welles broadcasting a radio adaptation of War of the Worlds all over again. The pundits are playing the parts of scientists and "officials", depending on who's speaking the liberals or conservatives are the Martians invading the US and the dupes at home panicking are the grand and great grand children of the dupe who fled their homes, raced to church to pray, had miscarriages, early births and had violent reactions. Some of the people in 1938 heard the beginning of the show and knew that it was only a show but many others thought it was real. Today's pundits don't begin their shows with a warning so it's much more difficult to realize that they are actors getting paid to get ratings. Politicians do the same thing to raise money so they can get elected. Use 'scope cross hairs' or use a 'dot', say 'hold in us hostage' or 'delaying the bill', every word calculated to make the less intelligent among us fall in line and open our wallets. This murderer in AZ has had issues for a number of years but issues that made him believe that guns and murder could solve something. He'll be dealt with BUT what about others like him who today spend too many hours listening to pundits. Either we find a way to tone it down and put some respect back into the conversation OR we deal with the dead, wounded and next murderer who snaps.

I would first like to thank all of you Liberals for "Proving" my point, both on this board and at what was suppose to be a memorial for the slain. After I posted my thoughts of how Liberals were unable to put aside all politics to truly embrace the slain in AZ, you Libs came on my string and proved my point thoroughly with your unending political lies, spin, and garbage.
Non of this should sound surprising, as the Progressives idea of a memorial turned out to be one Liberal/Progressive after another pushing their political agenda rather than memorializing the dead and wounded. They even sold t-shirts at this event, as if it were some kind of rock concert or pep rally. We now all know what is actually inside of a Liberal. It definitely is not an actual soul.
Out of "real" respect and heart ache for the slain, I have not posted on this or any other board for the past couple of days. Out of respect for myself, and after seeing the disgusting display from the whole DNC/Progressives at both the memorial and on this board, I will not be posting that often from now on. I realized that my time can be better served getting as many people as possible to both look at and join the Tea Party. I will also be looking to secure as many others for the same task as possible.

God Bless US All- now stop the hate talk, which was only indirectly a cause...
Open Letter to Palin, FOX News and the Far Right The blood is on your hands by William Rivers Pitt
Link
I just thought you should know a few things about the people you helped into their graves and hospital beds this weekend.
Yes, you.
<>You false patriots who bring assault rifles to political rallies, you hack politicians and media personalities who lied through your stinking teeth about "death panels" and "Obama is coming for your guns" and "He isn't a citizen" and "He's a secret Muslim" and "Sharia Law is coming to America," you who spread this bastard gospel and you who swallowed it whole, I am talking to you, because this was your doing just as surely as it was the doing of the deranged damned soul who pulled the trigger. The poison you injected into our culture is deeply culpable for this carnage.
You who worship Jesus at the top of your lungs (in defiance of Christ's own teachings on the matter of worship, by the way) helped put several churchgoers into their graves and into the hospital. You who shriek about the sanctity of marriage helped cut down a man who was about to be married. You who crow with ceaseless abandon about military service and the nobility of our fighting forces helped to critically wound the wife of a Naval aviator who fought for you in a war. You who hold September 11 as your sword and shield helped put a little girl born on that day into the ground.
You helped. Yes, damn you, you helped.
The "mainstream" media is already working overtime playing up the "Disturbed loner" angle with all their might. There is no doubt, from the available evidence, of Mr. Loughner's transformation into a disturbed individual. But here's the funny part: all the crazy crap he spewed, about the gold standard (a favorite of Glenn Beck, the master of Fox "News" fearmongering...so he can sell his gold scam to suckers) and government mind control and everything else before going on his rampage, is straight out of the Right-Wing Insanity Handbook. His personal YouTube ramblings were a mishmash of right-wing anti-government nonsense...the kind that attracts sick minds like Loughner, the kind that only reinforces their paranoia, the kind that finally pushes them over the brink and into the frenzy of violence that took place on Saturday. The kind that the likes of you have been happily spreading by the day.
He did not act alone. You were right there with him. You helped.
There are two kinds of Republicans today:
There are the semi-sane Repubs who wonder if their party has gone too far and there are the ones screaming like stuck pigs, the MOST guilty, doing all they can by screaming, "You can't blame this on me and my multi-million-dollar salary that I get paid for whipping the super-ignorant into a frenzy with our 'He's not an American' lies."
But without anybody saying a word, America knows which side is responsible.

I had to delete, even posting a reply to pitt's letter seemed crazy after rereading it.

Sorry but the only way anything will ever get done when there has been such vast and unnatural change brought on by liberal policies, the only option is to tone it up, way up. Socialistic policies, high taxes, regulatory burdens, unions ect. are killing the free and creative entrepreneurial spirit. Unless liberals fund their unsustainable projects with their own money, they will be silenced one way or another.
