The thing is, this IS still America, each of us still has a born in right to think any way we want to (no matter how bizzare), & we've still got freedom of speach as well.
But when it came to SPITTING on people, it was just wrong NOT to take the spitters to jail!!!!!!! This is the era of AIDS & other exotic diseases, so that should be construed as assault with a deadly weapon.
At least that's my opinion.
What's your's?

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. - Patrick Henry
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
~ Thomas Jefferson
No doubt more radical liberals trying to make the "*********s, Republicans or conservatives" look bad. Those radical liberals are a crafty bunch indeed.

It breaks my heart to understand the lack of concern these people in these links are carrying for their fellow citizens. Once again...it is the perfect picture of those who can step up to the camera and say...'I've got mine...to heck with you'. The majority of them consider themselves to be Christian...double irony!!

I call it hypocritical.
It's like someone in a church saying: " we don't want that person as a member, he's a sinner". My understanding is that religion and churchs are to save sinners?? Right? So you have to take in bad apples and show them, "or let them find" the right path.
Those sneaky radical liberals strike again..............

Ahhhh the joys of a representative form of government. Even if you represent the views of the majority in your district you are also the representative for some blooming nut jobs as well. How has governing become such a win/loose, competitive/adversarial progress that people become so inflamed over what are realistically short term issues (what can be done can be undone with enough political will-power).
What's bothering me right now, is all of the violent reaction to the passage of the "Health Reform" bill. SURE studies show that 3/4s of Americans were against it, SURE many people feel they have every right to be mad as h__l at their representatives for voting against their wishes. BUT, vote them out if you don't like what they've done! Throwing bricks, threatening people, cutting gas lines & such are just CHILDISH & make the people doing such things look so much stupider than the arrogent reps. who voted against the wishes of those who'd elected them.
WE've got an election coming up, if anyone is REALLY mad (& not just trying to get their own minute of fame) it's time to get organized & elect someone else to do what your reps. didn't do.

Republican whip Cantor is also the victim of attacks, including that his office was shot at:

I must have missed the part of the story where it says he hasn't filled a report of a criminal act (related to the shooting). The only thing I saw in there was that he wasn't reporting/releasing the threatening phone calls that he got. I didn't see anything on not reporting bullet holes. As that is something visible to an officer while standing in public space, I'm not even sure he would have to.

Just for clarity, even if there is a bullet hole, that doesn't prove when or how it got there. Second, if he didn't report any of the other harrasments, {we only have his word, something I will not trust,} How can we believe anything he says.Third, Now that he has played the race card,[ Just for information, I am not an anti-semite, I realize better than most of you that Jewish people get that response,]He is totally suspect,but for him to use that to justify, or deny, the attacks on Dems, or the reporting thereof, is ludicrous.
