We all fear what will happen if a "repub" wins. HA HA HA HA Like that is possible. BTW it's won this year.

Actually, I would expect true conservatives to be similarly outraged at gov't over the betrayal of our founding principles. I am.

limited government, rule of law, state's rights, non-intervention, property rights, habeous corpus....etc.

Get your head out of the sand. Every politician has skeletons and more than a few corrupt friends. Do not think for a moment that anything is going to be done about it. It's about seporate the classes and control the masses

??? If he is a Liberal...doesn't this fall under the 1st admendment, free speech clause

From 1968 to 2008 there were 2 democrats in the White House for a total of 12 years. All the rest were repubs. From 1996 to 2006 both branches of Congress were controlled by repubs. During Ronnie Raygun's senile alzheimer-ridden time the working middle class got 'trickle(piss)-down economics, 11 tax raises, the deregulation of corporate fascists companies the slashing of personel and funding for what little oversight of what few regulations were left for those buddies-of-repubs corporate fascists companies. Pappi 'read my lips I will not raise taxes no not the lips on my face the other lips lower down' Bush gave us war and, of course, the raising of taxes. During Boy George's tenure we were gifted with total incompetance viz 9/11, the hilarious fiasco of FEMA viz Kattrina, a lied for fabricated intel war in Iraq, the suspension of habeas corpus, the removal of posse comitatus, the Unpatriot Act and the finishing touches on the demolishment of the American economic system in conjunction with his cronies in congress. Anyone with the sense of a garden slug is aware of who's to blame for the crap we're nose deep in and it ain't democrats. lol

"...........over the betrayal of our founding principles.........."

Such as slavery, denying women the right to vote, etc, etc, etc.

2.6; "??? If he is a Liberal...doesn't this fall under the 1st admendment, free speech clause"

Of course it does. But only if he's a liberal. Under Obamas proposed new world order the 1st only applies to the disciples of the O ne. This guys just a campaign contribution away from a presidential pardon. Hope he has enough money to make Holder sit up and pay attention so he can grease the wheels like he did for Rich under Clinton.

Any bets on whether this guy spent the last few months in a tent at an OWS protest? Who would have guessed that the Brownshirts of the Fourth Reich would be wearing Birkenstocks and packing postage stamps.

Good lord you people are crazy. Every state has liberals and conservatives. There is no such thing as a state where the ENTIRE state votes one way or the other, even states that are solidly one way or the other are rarely more than a 60/40 split. So how about we wait for more information before pointing the finger at somebody.

But only if he's a liberal. Under Obamas proposed new world order the 1st only applies to the disciples of the O ne.

There are places to get help for paranoid delusions like yours.

TampaBay honestly you really need to watching Fox news. it is starting to eating at your last brain cell. No where in this report it said MUSLIM. Honestly stop fox news you are becoming a wash out like them.

Sorry TampaBayRays but some people don't get your jokes.

Geez Roger - did you choose to embarrass yourself on your own?

What a maroon. Roger, go find someone that can use a dictionary and have them read the definition of sarcasm, sarcastic and irony for you. lol

No matter what kind of terrorist he is, he seems to have generated the opposite of terror. Utter failure. We can put his face next to the gonad-searing underwear bomber.

JC2.2 Maroon? Really? Maybe, you are the one that needs a dictionary.

Yes Maroon, it's what Bugs Bunny used to call people instead of morons. Meaning JC2 is probably over 30 and got to watch real cartoons instead of the crap they have on today.

Can't believe they haven't slammed you yet NJNP. It has only been 15 minutes so far though. It will probably come.

NJNP.....was your comments a cut and paste from some Media Matters web site, or did it come straight from the White House media room ?

Oh, never mind. You wouldn't understand the question.

This guy seems to be an equal opportunity non-terrorist. The first thing I read was that he sent this stuff to Jon Stewart, and John Boehner. You couldn't easily come up with 2 more polar opposites politically. I'm guessing there's some government conspiracy theory here. Tea Party? Maybe, they love that stuff. More likely, some sort of alien invasion theory.

Sounds just like the argument about whether Loughner is conservative or liberal. He is neither. He is nuts. So is this guy.

I'm seeing a lot of assumptions on this comment section. This one - he's a teabagger, that one - he's a liberal whacko. Nowhere in that article does his political affiliation get spelled out.

One thing he was; a deluded idiot. An assumption, on my part, granted, he was probably sick and tired of all the "do-nothings" supposedly working for us, (which we know they aren't,) while they stuff their own pockets with OUR money. And that includes every single member of this do-nothing congress AND the president, and all their czars and departmental secretaries, (not REAL secretaries, but the political ones,) as well as all their flunkies.

There is a much better way to threaten them - refuse to vote for incumbents. Support term limits.

And consider amending the Constitution to choose future Representatives and Senators at random from the voter registration roles (excluding anyone who has ever been convicted of a federal or any state felony.) There would be some incompetents and perverts, but the overall quality of the group would be better. The number of egomaniacs would drop drastically. Imagine the boost to the economy when all that campaign money is diverted to other purposes.

chopper troy, do you have to be so nasty? we come here to enjoy ourselves, not read gross, immoral things. please do us a favor

If you've come to the Vine to enjoy yourself, you've come to the wrong place.

Oh simmer down and lighten up. I could have said schweddy ballz :)

If you've come to the Vine to enjoy yourself, you've come to the wrong place.

Unless you are a sado-masochist,

then you should feel right at home.

Divide and Conquer. Still works apparently.

Plus it's the internet. I always see trolls working hard here. Every time guns are involved in a story, you'll see someone say something like "ban guns". Could be a honest opinion, more likely to be troll wanting to bask in the warmth of a flame war.

Maybe we should just split north and south again? Although I do LOL at people who think Oregon is conservative. It's like most states- blue cities, red countryside.

People are divided everywhere so splitting the country up would solve nothing. People will bitch and moan about a gridlocked Congress, but never notice that the entire country has been torn apart by partisan polarization.

the only israeli connection to 9/11 was that israel was being persecuted by those who should have known better. persecutors were those who claim to know God but really do not, claim to have a heart for him but it is a lie. yes, deceitful liars, arrogant, proud, and self righteous are they, really no different from the ones that carried out the murderous acts.

"...wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow that my days should be consumed with shame?"

and it all started with the CRUSADES! if you don't join and believe in OUR god then you must die. thank the pope and the catholics for starting it all.

Dave that was never the reason for the Crusades.

The Turks took control of the Holy Land and Alexios 1 Komnenos requested the aid of Pope Urban 2 to help repel the invasion of his country.

I also believe there were about 700 Christian Pilgrims trapped by the invasion.

The wars were NEVER about converting, they were always about land and power.

When people spew out such ignorance about the Crusades simply as a means to HATE it makes me want to spew.

There is a 50/50 chance they just arrested him and he had nothing to do with it. Is this country you are guilty until proven innocent. And even when proved innocent you are still guilty.

It's called 'capital punishment". If you ain't got the capital, you're going to get the punishment.

entertain the reader

That's the problem with our media. News is supposed to be informative, not entertaining. Entertainment is sitcoms or novels, not news.

So, you propose that people who are attempting to use terror tactics should be ignored until they actually murder someone? Threats of violence are just as bad as violence. It's fine with me if they pursue and lock up anyone who threatens violence. Would you enjoy being on an airplane with someone running up and down the aisle waving a gun? It would be OK if the gun was not loaded, yes? No need to take that person into custody, if it was a fake threat?

then what do you propose we do about the police and the government?

It doesn't matter anymore james. Everyone goes to prison now for most anything real or imagined. 1 in every 31 adults in the U.S. is in jail or prison or on probation/parole. If you had been there when he did it, you would go to. All problems are solved by putting people away for long periods in jail and prison now and officers killing unarmed citizens are way up too.

Yea, terrorism is no big deal. You really are a conservative.

Average

who declares what and who is terrorist. If they say it was you, it was, eh?

Id like to know if the letters were sent to members of both parties.

If he only sent them to the party you dislike,is he still a terrorist?

Brad......... stop trying to put words in my mouth or reading my mind. The man is a terrorist no matter WHERE he comes from! You are what's wrong with this country. Since YOU are obviously on the right, please tell us all how you can tolerate the ripping off of America by the GOP these past 30 years. I'll wait.

I refuse to argue with an idiot.
