Screams of Revolution
But they are not coming from the left. They are coming from the right-wingers. Anyone that has listened to talk radio - Limbaugh, Levin, and Glenn Beck - lately cannot help but hear the revolting language of the right.

Unlike the Democrats who looked to change the leadership in Washington and the way government works, the right looks to overthrow the leadership in Washington, by any means necessary. They are serious. They hate Obama. They hate the government. They hate liberals. They want to return to the "way it was". God knows why?

Obviously, they are in a state of deep denial. It was their silence and their votes that put us into the predicament we face economically, militarily, and socially. They simply cannot accept responsibility for anything and they blame the liberals. They blame Obama. They are in dire need of some self-examination.

But it is a very serious matter. They are on the edge of violence. They are a threat to all of us, even themselves. They are following mad leaders, mostly from right-wing radio. We need to be aware of their actions. If they lose any elections today, it could drive them over the edge.

However, the elections today are not that significant. Republicans tend to do well in off year elections. They get out the vote better than Democrats. This year, they are motivated by the right-wing revolutionaries. We should not be surprised if the Republicans do well today. But, we should not put too much stock into their victories.

2. I for one will be shocked if the Repubics win today
in areas that have elected Repubics for the last 6,000 years. I can't even imagine how the Dems could not have a landslide.

3. I expect them to win all the races today..
But I don't think it is significant. The right-wing and the media will build it up as some sort of victory over Obama and the Democratic Party. I don't think it is.

4. I'm all for freedom of speech but what we're seeing is the end result of batshit insanity.
