Taking back America???

 I've been "scared" of for some time. I've seen the hate spewed by the likes of Limbaugh and Beck, the other pundits at Fox just allow the lies to tumble out of their mouths without any accountability. republican members of congress shout "You Lie" at the President of the United States from the floor of congress, republican and tea bagger candidates make veiled threats, democratic members of congress are spat on as they enter the capital building, people show up at political events carrying assault weapons......

What happened yesterday was bound to happen and the mouthpieces who promoted it will scurry into the dark corners like roaches and deny any responsibility.

Locally the rhetoric has only ratcheted even higher with statements like "The revolution has begun" etc. What sort of America will we have once it's been "taken back" by the likes of these??

Sad day for Arizona and America

I was in my senior year of high school outside of Dayton Ohio when the students were killed at Kent State. They died protesting a war that we'd gone into on a lie, that had killed tens of thousands of our own, and had stretched out for a decade. I remember well the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young song about the incident.

This morning in Tucson Arizona six are dead and others lay gravely wounded as a result of the hate speech and lies of so called conservative pundits and politicians. And I wonder who'll write their song.......
