Where is the outrage? What shall we tell the children?
"I'm a radical! I'm a real extremist. I don't want to impeach judges. I want to impale them!" -- Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn (R-Wackyland), at last week's "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith" conference
The Republicans' silence on stuff like this indicates that they're perfectly OK with assassinating those who disagree with them.
Other insane ravings from the event:
"Ronald Reagan said the Soviet Union was the focus of evil during the cold war. I believe that the judiciary is the focus of evil in our society today" -- Failed Senate candidate and carpetbagger Alan Keyes
[The removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was] "an act of terror in broad daylight aided and abetted by the police under the authority of the governor...This was the very definition of state-sponsored terror." -- 2004 Constitution Party candidate and mouthbreather Michael Peroutka
Anyone actually believe that that this is what the Founding Fathers intended?
And might I remind anyone who thinks that threatening judges with death is A-OK, of Federal Statute 18 U.S.C. ?115 (a)(1)(B), which states:
"Whoever threatens to assault or murder, a United States judge with intent to retaliate against such judge on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished [by up to six years in prison]"
There was a time in this country, not so long ago, when Republicans and Democrats; conservatives and liberals, believed that dialogue, debate, discourse, and disagreement were healthy in a thriving democracy. Now we have a one-party government that advocates murdering everyone who doesn't agree with them. I don't call that a republic, or a democracy. I call it a totalitarian state, and that's what our country has turned into.
As long as those who call themselves patriots insist on supporting these people, THEY are the real traitors; THEY are the terrorist sympathizers.
