There's a nasty stew being cooked up .......

..... and it uses as fuel the latent ignorance, hatred, and racism that is the basest of our base emotions.

Sarah Palin tapped into it. It scared the shit out of the grownups on McLame's campaign.

Then Teabaggers. Taxation protests where no tax increases were being proposed. It was a dry run. To test the water. To test the state of our emotions.

Then healthcare. Paid for by the insurance industry, skilled operatives set out to foment anger.

To what end? To change minds? To influence elected officials?

Or worse?

Nazi mustaches on pictures of the president?

Sotomayor was opposed on what basis? The "Latina Woman" flap was at the heart of it.

A president not white.

Hatred.

Mobs.

Yelling. Fist shaking. Wanting their country back. Talk of lynching Democratic electees.

The NRA opposing the judge. Fomenting fear among the armed. Ammo sales way, way up.

This is a nasty stew.

Moods like this tend not to forego good outcomes.

The sooner we put the anti-terror laws to work, the sooner the cockroaches will scurry back under their rocks.

and Glen Beck...

Its so sad and makes me very angry at some in my country.

and I agree... this is the start of the violent aspect of their disrupting our agenda.

They can't beat us in fair elections... we SURROUND them. But they don't believe that.

but we have been called all kinds of names... because of course the pattern could not be real

..... upon him.

Things seem even worse now.

I hate to think that I might be right... but I smell a hot civil war coming, truly.

Sadly, I think you're right.

n/t

want healthcare for all. They exhibit a racist hatred of the idea. That side is racist. They don't want to pay for certain people to have access to healthcare. They are followers. They follow the lead of the most evil segments of our society. And, they are stupid because they don't even know how well they are being played.

I predict that this will not end peacefully.

fear in their words. I agree with your prediction.

of August, and you have a bubbling stew, ready to boil over.

We need to gain control, once again. I can't remember this country being this volatile since the days of John, Martin and Robert.

God help us!

I'm glad my MIL isn't alive to witness this: the run-up to the invasion of Iraq was bad enough that this 90+ year old woman told me it gave her flashbacks to Vienna in the 1930s.

Listen to the oldest.

I HATE re-runs.

get yourself prepared.

like food, water, supplies, pet food, whatever you'd need in any emergency/disaster.

community spirit.



Stockpiling food is kinda useless.

I prefer having trade goods. Ammo, water purification apparatus, batteries, toilet paper. Two months of wiping their ass with leaves and people will trade food AND sex for toilet paper.

I know I would after three days.

Glen Beck and other wingnut propagandists are their Fuhrers, and the mobsters are the brownshirts.

.. just as "Tokyo Rose" worked to de-moralize the troops in WWII, these TV Talking head Pied Pipers have a definite mission and an agenda. I would like to know who is funding them and why?

Just as Karl Rove sent bus-loads of young Republicans to Florida to bang on the glass and disrupt the election... somebody is paying these TV Dictators to activate the dumbed-down masses against their own best interests.

When we find out who and why.. I think it will answer many questions.

Instead, an agenda pushed .......

That is what it is all about.
Anyone who does not think that this country is in a state of civil war is in serious denial.
