"When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the the other half gets the idea that it does no go to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation."

More like the end of the beginning, next comes the real fight.

I'm beginning to think it's inevitable, and that saddens me greatly.

I hear the clank of metal on metal in the distance, but not so distant today as it was yesterday or the day before, or the day before, or the day before.

I feel right now like it's the middle of the second season of Jericho. Right when they figure out that the government is no longer what they elected and it is slowly destroying the nation. We are almost to the point of armed conflict with the most dangerous people in the world. The kind that fear the loss of power at the hands of peasants. Wow haven't we been here before....

All it needs is the right spark and we are back to "Hardhats" beating on "Hippies".
Remember Kent State ? That REALLY happened, US TROOPS fired on US demonstrators, it not only CAN happen here, it already has, Waco, Ruby Ridge, more examples of  Govt. restraint.
If an over reaction were to happen, at the Second Amendment March, or some other large Political event such as the 1968 Dem. Convention. This was probably the point where the Socialists took full control of the Dem Party as they showed the "Dixiecrats" That they had "street muscle in more important cities than Selma Ala. or Little Rock Ark.
That was when the old time"decent crooks" were forced to bow to the sheer numbers of the then still much more urbanized Northern and Western Leftists heavily influenced by the socialist influenced unions.
The results will get ugly, both , the Civil Rights movement ,and  Pulling out of Vietnam, both required constant propaganda and peaceful Marches to draw attention, but they needed violence in the form of Riots to have an effect.

Well the far left does riot at IMF, WTO, Anti-War rallies, Congress staffers for far left members, handed out tickets to Code Pink, to interrupt hearings when Rumsfeld and Condi Rice went to Congress, after all THEY were EVIL.....

Far left eco terrorists ram whaling ships, pull down radio towers, ELF, burn jobsites down, etc,....Hmmmmm, how many of those groups were Tea Party members?

So NOW the Conservative, Independent, and even some "reasonable" Democrats are pissed. 62% of Americans want Republicans to continue to fight Healthcare. CBS News Poll, came out today.

This makes the Far-Left, Progressives really nervous......They don't want the now awakened giant to start rioting. It would make the WTO, G20, stuff look like a frat party....

"The coming of an American Reichstag?
 By Doug Hagmann  Thursday, March 25, 2010

A federal intelligence source reported in an interview last evening that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have been called in to “actively investigate incidents of violence and threats” made to at least ten Democrats and one Republican lawmaker since Sunday. Their involvement was reportedly requested by top House leadership and one unnamed, high-level White House official. According to this source, who agreed to speak to this writer under the strict condition of anonymity, “a ‘watch list’ has already been created that specifically names and turns their focus on various pro-life and tea-party organizations and individuals who are considered a threat to domestic security, continuity of government operations, and to the lives of lawmakers and their families.”

While published reports confirm that Capitol Police have been contacted and are addressing security concerns of lawmakers and the incidents of vandalism, the involvement of federal agencies has not been publicly disclosed, nor will it likely be on any official level. The reason, according to this source, is that high-level discussions between top lawmakers and agency heads are “exploring the application of the Patriot Act against any right-wing individual or group that poses a danger to government operations.” He added that “threat assessments and security measures for public assemblies at the Capitol, specifically focusing on conservative groups are being re-evaluated at the request of the White House and Democratic lawmakers.”

Dissemination of the list is obviously limited to avoid another “MIAC” episode, referring to the release of a document leaked from the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC).

According to this federal official, lawmakers and White House officials were stunned by the strong response against the health care bill, citing the protests at the Capitol. “Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t think they were expecting the type of response seen in not only the demonstrations, but in poll numbers and by conservative talk radio and television. “They have been monitoring all aspects of this situation, not just the physical assemblies,” he stated. “Watch lists are being created and updated to include anyone who appears to be organizing or acting as a gallivanting force behind the actual protestors.”"
