What Gives?

I have to openly question the anger and calls for violence being made by the right wing. Let's get real here, I own guns, I have hunted, I fish and I am not a vegetarian and I drive a truck. I have never even considered taking violent actions against any republicans or republican politicians. As much as I despised Bush, Cheney and all the illegal and horrible policies that they made, I, nor any progressives threatened to form a militia or suggested taking our Country back by force. Why is it that republicans and conservatives can never accept loosing elections? The recent tea parties and talking heads are sore losers and incapable of civil discourse because the policies that they support have no merit and they can not win the open and fair debate. Jimmy Carter was trashed and blamed for an economy that was not his fault and was defeated due to the hostage situation in Iran that conveniently resolved just after the election of Reagan. Can you say dealing with the enemy to win an election? Clinton was a brilliant president and although he won 2 times, was never given any respect by the right wing, I remember every Sunday, Jerry Fallwell selling videos about Clinton running drugs and having people killed. The only thing that ever stuck to Clinton was Monica....no pun intended. Then came Bush who was selected by the supreme court and not elected. If you don't believe it, simply research the articles written about what the result of any recount would have been. Bush stole that election and you can forget about Clinton having an affair, Bush Screwed the entire Country. Did Al Gore protest, or did we riot in the streets? The answer is no, we accepted the loss and went about trying to elect another candidate. Where were all of these tea party fools when Bush resided over the largest expansion of government of all time? Where were these "patriots" when we were taken into an illegal war, had the war cost kept off budget and had big brother listen to our calls and look at our emails? Even though we disagreed with these horrible acts, the worst thing that we did as Liberals was to protest in peace with marches. No one stormed into a church and mowed down all the Bush disciples, no one flew a plan into a tax building, no one gunned down a guard at a holocaust museum after reading books by Al Franken and we did not march on Washington with weapons. Liberals are smarter and have the superior position in any true debate. When the facts are on your side, you do not have to lie, cheat and steal to win. Now we find ourselves once again in the middle of an all out assault on Obama. He was elected by an overwhelming majority and has been nothing but Honest and open and yet once again, the conservatives can not accept him as legitimate and they interfere with every effort that he makes. Again, we see violence and threats of violence from the pulpit to the air waves and again, the lemmings are following. We can only hope that we can keep the attackers at bay. If you belong to a militia or if you are sympathetic towards them, you are a redneck and wrong. If you think the President is not a citizen, you are stupid and racist. If you think the government is coming for your guns, you are a lemming and if you want to loose your weapons, go ahead and act on your paranoia and you will have them removed. Tea party people are not legitimate and are simply providing cover to the republicans so that they can say any nasty, racist and false thing that they want. I recently heard a "christian" person say that we are a fatherless and illegitimate nation. I wonder if he felt the same way under Bush? One thing is for sure, I have had enough of this right wing garbage. At this point, we should treat anyone that follows through with violence against the government, abortion doctors, federal workers and other authority figures as what they really are...terrorist.
