So conservatives think they can "take back their country" by force?

They may find they have to pry it from our dead cold hands. Maybe they should start small in liberal bastions like East Cleveland and the Bronx first.

Better bring a lot of body bags.

that it does sort of signal the okay for a few unbalanced folks who feel that the rhetoric empowers them to act on their delusional/paranoid angers thinking that they will be a hero and spark "the revolution". Other than those few... the rest are chicken hawks. Like Jonah Goldberg and his bellicose defenses for the Iraq War - and when called to ask if he would serve, he stated something to the effect that he was staying to fight the rhetorical (and safe) battle at home. Theirs is a war of words.

I'm surprised they have the audacity to identify themselves as conservatives and show themselves in daylight on a public street. They want to take back the wasteland that Bush-Cheney left in their wake?

Cool pic of Maddow!

and critical thinking skills mouth breathing knuckle-draggers often resort to the only thing they know, force. They're primitive low-life forms, they can't help it.

They don't get to take it back unless tax rates on the wealthy goes back to 71% or possibly 90%.

The Republicans still control this country with big money influence and control of the media. We are the ones who should be protesting about taking back our country. Even though we attempt to make changes RW $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and RW media work together to block anything meaningful.

These "faux patriots" claim to be the protectors of the constitution and the American way yet refuse to accept the unamimous decision of the three branches of our Government. They are not protecting America... they are protecting themselves.

...not to have to pay for healthcare for brown people and black people.

I know far too many of these people, and - trust me on this - deep down it's about 99.973% pure racism.

at the Bloody Nose bar tonight. Billy Bob will (again) punch Sara Jane (his cousin and wife) in the groin when she says that Barack is kinda dreamy, and she wants her some o' that "ObamaCare". Someone who secretly admires Sara Jane (another cousin) will break a long neck on Billy Bob's front teeth, givin' him the best smile he has had since his graduation from the 3rd grade, just after his Pa went to prison. The cops will haul Billy Bob to jail, screamin' he's goin'a rip ObamaCare out by its roots. No liberal DEMs hurt. Just stay in your home and keep watching your BBC comedy.
