Are conservatives trying to start a second civil war?

[Cyrano]

As much as I don't want to believe it, I can only watch what they are doing.

The hopelessly ignorant are in the streets protesting health care, liberals, "faggots," "niggers," immigrants, Muslims, "baby killers," taxation, Obama's existence, and every other decent thing imaginable.

For the most part, those buying it are tremendously gullible know-nothings who are being whipped up by the likes of Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Limbuagh, Hannity, Bachmann and so many others who are making millions by undermining American democracy.

But at some point, the Republican Party has to take responsibility too. "I was only following the wishes of the people of my state" becomes stale and unbelievable very quickly. Sorry, but we're just not buying it.

We've seen the results in the past week. Death threats, rocks through windows, spitting on and disparaging congressmen, Republicans cheering disrupters in the balcony of the United States congress, and so much more that hasn't made Page One yet.

And here we sit, waiting for history to play itself out. We want peace. They want blood. It's getting very ugly, very quickly. So what can we do to stop it? I really don't know if we can. But it's frightening to anyone who still possesses an ounce of sanity.
