safer now

Seems Governor Walker of Wisconsin had contemplated, along with his Republican/Bagger Legislators about bringing in some hired hands to... kind of, sort of, almost add a little violence and pay for goons to cause harm while the peaceful workers protested union bashing. It had been discussed as a tactic to be used, because peaceful organizing, free speech, the right to gather are way too Democrat like and of course way too democratic.

A Congressman, Paul Broun, in Georgia held a town hall meeting, Mr. Broun a man elected to represent the people of Georgia as a part of our Federal Government, was elected to uphold the Constitution of this nation and abide by its laws. Low and behold an elderly man asked the question to Mr. Broun 'who is going to shoot Obama'. This Republican/Bagger Congressman did not stop his speech, point a finger at this elderly man, ask the police to escort the elderly man out of the room, or even stop his prepared remarks to say something like you are Un-American, Un-Christianor Un-Real, instead he added his own comments hopefully we will have a new President next year and continued speaking to his audience.

Ex Attorney General of Kansas Phil Klein used his elected office to open private health documents of women seeking legal abortions in his state. He found this personal and private information by using state paid employees to track down, in an illegal manner, using everything from using license plates to identify names and then finding addresses to send members of his Attorneys General Staff to their homes. He used his position as states Attorney General to discriminate against law abiding citizens bully them and intimidate them. He is on trial for ethics charges and smugly says he would do it all again.

During the rise of Nationalist Socialist Party in Germany brown shirted men were sent to roam the streets, bars, neighborhoods to help persuade the crowd to follow the lead of the government. In Tiananmen Square in Beijing the Government sent in soldiers in tanks to silence the crowd of protesters. In Kent Ohio, President Nixon sent in the Ohio National Guard to stop, even with force any Viet Nam protestors from organizing. In Egypt, during the first days of the uprising in Cairo, President Mubarak had his police fire into the crowd. In Tripoli today, Qaddafi has hired mercenaries to shoot innocent people requesting democracy in Libya.

In world history and sadly in American history violence, force and bullying by Governments has been a ready remedy to stop free speech, free right to congregate, and free expression of opposition. In the history of mankind, the fear of dissent has always seemed so great so powerful that Popes, Presidents, Royalty those demigods needed it to fight and fight hard at it ever finding a place at their table. Violence has been used as an excuse in many ways... as a message from God, a God given right, as necessary before any dialogue taking place, as the foundation to sustain the state.

In America 2011, we have a Governor and his legislators considering hiring people to cause chaos and disrupt peaceful protests. We have a southern Congressman who permitted a constituent to ask the question about who will shoot the President without protesting that illegal and immoral question. In the Midwest we an Attorney General ignoring his own responsibility to follow the law allowing his staff to suggest and intimidate innocent women.

In America 2011 we have people who call themselves Republicans, Tea Baggers who swear they know the Constitution, believe in the writing of the New Testament, swear they are more red, white and blue then any other person, and yet they rely on the treat of violence, the use of violence, and violent actions to get their way.

In 2010 we elected most of these people into office. Now that it is 2011 do you feel safer now?
