I Am Beginning To Think We Are Already In A State Of Anarchy. [View all]

I wonder if democracy is over already. Most Americans seem to be really oblivious of what is happening. As long as they are not personally effected "no problemo". We have a Titanic scenario, most passengers did not think anything was drastically wrong because they saw no water. That was until they were sunk.

I know a lot of GOP voters who fully support the shutdown and default because it will control spending. And many of them are in situations that depend on government services or are on Social Security and Medicare. I have never seen such a level of raging hatred in this country that is causing derangement and dementia.

Colorado is a good example of anarchy. We are not facing a third recall because the other side will not accept the election and Dem majority. And it is no about just guns. The maniacal gun nuts are practically accusing our Senator of criminal activity because she voted for gun safety that a large majority of the state supported. Only 15% of the voters or less voted for recall. And this will get really nasty.

They want to control the Senate so NO legislation can pass in Colorado until 2016. They will fight any funding for the victims of the floods and they will fight to take health care away from uninsured Coloradans. I am surprised they are not walking around with their loaded guns getting signatures.

They do not care about the people who were killed in our massacres and essentially encouraging more. They want 100 round magazines and open carry of any weapon of your choice. The are thirsty for the rule of the gun and not the law.

Addendum - The gun nuts here are frothing at the mouth. They remind me of the kamakaze's who will take down everything rather than allow any other view. They are just about stalking anyone who disagrees with them.
