    No, none of that will happen. Just like it did not happen during this first term.

    Statistically this country is much safer than in the past. 24-7 news has to talk about something until another crazy trial comes along so they can keep the cameras in the court room and give nonsensical commentary. When my pawpaw was young violent death was just common place in Eastern Kentucky. I've heard the old timers talk about shoot outs, lynchings, and pulling bodies from the river, and no this wasn't in the 1800's.

    thats because more common sense, law abiding, legally carrying citizens are protecting themselves. not as many easy targets for the thug scumbags that are breaking the laws, that causes the lawful citizens to be deemed right wing gun crazy extremists.

    Or the fact that its harder to get away with crimes.

    But saying there is an increase in people legally totting guns I suppose is another theory.

    This is a case of a crime that makes me wonder where we are headed, no remorse, no fear of retribution,certainly no fear of the criminal justice system.
    When will vigilantly attacks start taking place or are they and just not publicized?
    I know a judge would not be what these thugs need be watchful of had my family been victimized by these degenerates.

    I agree 100% and I am a conservative. They will NOT take our guns. It just wont happen.

    And the fact that people could even imagine that the Obama administration is behind any of these shootings is unthinkable to me. That is like the whackos blaming Bush for the 911 attacks. Just crazy!

    No sane liberal would blame Bush for terrorism attacks and no sane conservative would blame Obama for the same. Do these same people believe that Vito or Hooker will kill a deer this year?!

    I see a lot of deer crossing the road on my way to some muskie lakes. One might step out at the wrong time.

    How much of it has to do with forms of mental illness, look at the number of children on prescription meds.
    ADD,ADHD how about the sky rocketing numbers of autistic new Born's.
    Are we paying a price for the 60-80 eras of drug usage, blotter acid,shrooms and even crystal meth were in heavy use with little thought to the far reaching effects that were unknown at the time.

    So are you saying that the unintended contamination of drinking water is the root cause of evil or is the intention injection of toxins by "big business" leading to the break down of the traditional family, leaving us susceptible to the pharmaceutical companies desires to drive up profits by poisoning the youth of today.
    Where does Rush fit into this plan?

    How did we get from folks drug use causing ADHD to water contamination breaking down our families?

    Could be that evil flourishes best in an environment where it's very existence is denied. Since society believes the lines between good and evil are subjective, then no one can clearly label any action evil. That would be judgmental. Can't have that now can we?
