I am especially worried about President Obama's safety

especilly with the freaks running around saying he's a secret Muslim.

1. I think we all are.

I think we don't talk about it much because of a feeling that "to imagine it is to manifest it". It is in the back of our minds.

2. Why would you post this?

3. Why is this post controversial?

I mean it is a posting of a problem without a solution, but . . .

6. It's a good point, especially in the context of the massive anti-Muslim sentiment that is coming

We've seen how they try to connect everything negative or could possibility support their positions. It's not a stretch to think that many on the extremes (and some in the mainstream) will associate the fact that Obama has a "Muslim sounding name" or the already rabid whispering that he is somehow a "closet Muslim" with the violence that we saw yesterday.

8. I was worried about this too back when he was first elected but not anymore.

I thin the nutbags are starting to come around.

9. Come around to what?!

They surely aren't coming around to our point of view; if anything, I see them going further and further to the extremes.

12. Gun sales dropped slightly, didn't it?

It's not like we have anything remotely close to socialism.
We still have high unemployment and no regulation. The nutbags are thrilled.

10. No sooner did I recommend

It got unrec. Bummer.

11. The SS has him well protected.

13. Don't worry

He has triple layer security, IIRC. He has the Secret Service, then Reggie Love's protection, then another hired firm. I trust Mr. Love to protect President Obama, because it's personal - you can always see him in pictures.

He's the gentleman on the left behind the president:




Breathe deeply, and don't let the bastards grind you down. They want you to be afraid, that's the whole point. Defy them. BTW, a belated welcome to DU.
