It seems like a great uneasy feeling of pending violence and terror dominates our security. A seemingly innocent political conversation that leads to anger in attempts to be correct. It has been incredible to watch or read the daily news. I dread the misinformation that is spewed to the public. I keep telling my sister, who is a tea bagger, fox news fan that she should develope her own critical thinking skills by researching history to find the truth. It is amazing this down right lies that are told to the public!

History has once again repeated itself. The Great Depression resulted in a like political environment as today. I would like to recommend a book by Sinclair Lewis call “It Can’t Happen Here”. It is a very good read!

Now, there is Mr. Gaffney criticizing the GOP’s CPAC, accusing them of letting Muslims infiltrate the GOP. Apparently, CPAC is allegedly hosting Gellar and Spencer’s documentary at a coming CPAC event. I think the film is called, “Ground Zero Mosque, and the second 9/11.” Allegedly, Mr. Gaffney is making accusations that Muslims for America is part of the Muslim Brotherhood.

I’d like to know what’s going to happen with this. The rightwing have insulted Latin Americans, Blacks, Asians, Muslims, Jews and they believe they have a chance at getting the White House in 2012! BTW, Keith Olbermann announced on his show earlier this week that he had received a death threat.

What’s next, boys? The FINAL Solution?

The hate speech is getting out of hand.

I, for one, am tired of the GOP, tea party, libertarians getting on television saying, “the American people want…” I am a liberal, and I am an American. The above group do not speak for me. Yet, they get on television trying to tell everyone what everyone wants. To me, this kind of explains why some of these guys are complaining about mind/grammar control. I really believe we are reliving the Hubert Humphrey era.

When Russell E. Weston went after Tom Delay, in 1998, he fixated on a “army of cannibals”, no one ascribed political motives to his actions. Like Chapman, Hinckley, Bardo and Weston, Loughner fixated on politicians or well known entertainers not because of politics, but because these individuals all suffering from very low self esteem craved fame, attention and notoriety and when they went after these kinds of folks they got tons of it, from the media.

Loughner at first fixated on his college by calling it a “genocide school”, “torturing its students”. The trigger for his horrendous acts wasn’t his expulsion by the school it was the massive media attention Chapman got on the 30th anniversary of the Lennon murder, just 30 days prior.

I taught college classes in a prison extension program in Michigan. In my classes I had Toni Cato Riggs of Desert Storm fame who had her husband murdered and two girls nicknamed Maytag and Microwave, because sadly this was how they murdered their babies. I also had a girl named Star Trek because when someone in her family changed the TV channel (she was obsessively watching it) she murdered her entire family. It would be absurd to ban Star Trek and Maytags or Microwaves because of their actions. Just like it would be absurb to ban Catcher in the Rye read obsessively by Hinckley, Chapman and Bardo. Or even blame Jodie Foster and Taxi Driver for the Reagan shootings. Or even ban dogs because after all one talked David Berkowitz into being the Son of Sam killer.

Apparently Mr Clarke cannot differentiate from true political motives crimes and plain and simple paranoid schizophrenia crimes or even the intersection of the two. The validity and accuracy of his letter to the New York Times regarding Loughner and his entire book “Defining Danger” must be questioned.

BTW, I think the professor is correct. Someone in Sta. Ana, Califas spray-painted death threats against our newly elected gov. Brown. Notice how most of these threats are against Democrats!

Jared was right about religion being a system of mind control, though. There’s no proof that it was actually Beck, who is a Mormon and peddles the fundamentalist “God made us” line that leads to closed minds and unscientific practice worldwide.
