should not be underestimated. We joke about these wingnuts and call them crazy and they are but they are making inroads. I think the town I work in may be the center of a hive and, believe me, they are mean, destructive and driven. They are out to kill any kind of civil order and they are doing it by getting elected to local office and then trashing town budgets, going after police and fire, any social services and everyone who stands in their way. People up here are afraid of them. One of them..."a pillar of the community" told me when discussing cuts to the meager police budget, that he got his public safety from the barrel of an M16. He told the fire chief, when discussing cuts to the salaries of our "call Firefighters, that houses were going to burn and that was just "God's will."

Take a look around your town and watch out for these folks. They take advantage of peoples' fear and anger over the economy and they are gaining on us.

2. Someone should set his house on fire and tell him it's God's will.

Hey, that God of his must have motivated the arsonist to do that, right?

[Raven]

4. Actually, the Chief, after he picked himself up off the floor, said

"I assume you don't include your house in this scenario." Silence after that.

5. Good for him!

6. These were well-funded, long-planned and contrived protests that

barely attracted 50,000-70,000 people nationwide.

No arguing that wingnuts are crazy, but that's the other side of the story.
