When Gabby Giffords was shot by Jared Loughner, we heard pleas from liberals to "tone down" the rhetoric. Much was made of Palin's imagery on a website 'targeting' hot political races across the country. Condemned for telling her followers not to retreat, but to "re-load!" Even though these comments were nowhere near the context implied, most on the left and right agreed, we need to "tone down the rhetoric" in politics.
However, since this tragedy, the liberals have gone off the hinge with a relentless barrage of personal and general insults, false claims of racism, and just outright slanderous lies, one after the other, with no end in sight, directed at the TEA Party movement. It's as if their own calls for civility went in one ear and out the other. Or maybe the calls for civility never meant LIBERALS should be civil, only those on the RIGHT? I think that is more likely the case. In the wake of the Giffords tragedy, what they really meant to call for, was the RIGHT to shut the fuck up and sit down. Let's let the LEFT say and do anything they see fit, and the RIGHT can just sit there and cower in shame, for the low-life garbage they are. We don't dare even raise our heads to the liberals, because it's ALL our fault... everything! THIS is what the Liberal pinheads meant, when they emotively "called for civility" in political discourse.
I have studied the 1861 War Between the States, (aka: Civil War)... One thing I find amazing, is the similarity in the divisive political tone leading up to that war, and the divisive tone we hear today. If you ever have the chance to read (or watch) North and South, you can observe the times much as they were, the people on both sides who pushed us into a war, simply by being too stubborn and prideful to think they needed to compromise. Two "sides" rallying bases... the Secessionists and the Abolitionists... both perpetuating the anger and vitriol until it finally boiled over into an all-out WAR! Many of those same people, who pushed for and WANTED a war, would live to regret their choices. Hundreds of thousands dead sons, brothers, fathers... a nation in ruins... all because of two sides with uncompromisable positions, unwilling to even try to reconcile. This is exactly what we see today, but instead of 'slavery' being the catalyst, it is 'labor' or 'class' which is being used.
