Jesus Christ this guy is exactly what is wrong with this country. Fucking everything is about us vs them and about bully tactics. Until we stop letting people like this frame the conversation shit is just going to keep getting worse.
My inital reaction to the Breitbart clip was similar to that guy. No one likes to be threatened and my first thought was "just because I don't go around screaming like a banshee about gun rights doesn't mean I'm not very capable of using one." But then I started thinking about this a bit more and the more I thought about what he said AND my reaction to what he said the more worried I got.
Normally people don't go around saying things like "We've got all the people and the guns" and when you have a major talking head that feels comfortable enough to say something like that and then follow it up with "I'm not kidding" then this stops being about politics.
Do we really want to continue in a world where every day is just another chance for one side or the other to scare us about what they are going to take away or whatever other frenzied BS the media on the right AND the left have decided to make the topic of the day?
Is this what the right wants our world to be now? A dictatorship where they get what they want by intimidation of violence. Do you really want to trade the freedom and ideals of a just America for the glory of being on the winning side? Because like it or not, that's the end game here.
They keep us playing this game, where we fight back and forth about the stupid shit that Sarah Palin or Chris Matthews says so that we stay so focused on that that we don't focus on what is happening behind the curtain. We all know its happening. We all know we can't trust our government or the corporations that have bought it, yet we can't stop playing their game long enough to do anything about it. Instead we just keep letting it get amped up more and more and more.

I've said this all along. They don't take idiots like Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman any more seriously than we do. They control the media and throw this shit out there to make sure people have a diversion and don't pay attention to what's really going on around them. I don't entirely believe this. If Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann really had a chance at becoming President, they would back them up all the way just to ensure that a Democrat doesn't win. |
