Hate Crimes on the Rise
 

Of course, this country is all about hate.

50 years ago was the summer of love, now we have the summer of hate. The more business and religion dictate our government the lower we sink as a country and as a people. I hope it doesn't take 50 years to come full cycle again.

Protester: You know how liberals are going to solve the Republican problem?

Staffer: No.

Protester: They are going to get better aim. That last guy tried, but he needed better aim. We will get better aim.

That man has been identified as Mark Prichard, 59. He was arrested for Criminal Trespass in the 3rd Degree and Threats and Intimidation, according to Pima County Sheriff's Dept. spokesman Dep. Cody Gress.

Maybe we should arrest Thomas Jefferson, also.

A little rebellion...(Quotation)

"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in****most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.1****Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30,****17872

It is my understanding that the Iroquois did have an excellent form of government.

Yep, the founders were showing some ignorance there. Though it's certainly true that societies without written language hit what we'd call a low limit on the amount of government they can develop....

Cute post. You wanna be cute about this one too?

My goodness, there are some hate filled comments there. Is the right really so hateful, or are these just an example of the dregs? Awful lot of 'em. Easy to see where your venom comes from. Sad!
