They do not have Bush to go after so she is the one they want to destroy.

Dissent is only a form of patriotism if you subscribe to the Left.

I would think our founding fathers would have disagreed 110%.

Didn't someone once say: "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."

I am sure he is not. I'm pretty sure the founding fathers considered the right to dissent to be fundamental given that they started a revolution when the right was denied to them (You know, the taxation without representation thing).

The dissent from the tea party is what the left has a problem with if you ask me. You know the same left that spewed all the hate to Bush before he even took office.

Remember when this stuff was not considered hate:




We all remember what the left said when a few at a tea party rally had a sign like these.



But I guess hate only comes from the right. I don't remember these people in the news every night.

No it comes from both sides and it should be stopped period. I don't get the need to go on the defensive.

I think every rational person agrees with that. Some people dont agree with him but Glenn Beck's Letter to The American People, Politicians and Media is something that every rational American should agree with. Maybe someone else can take credit for it so more people will sign it.


Glenn’s letter to the American people, politicians, and media – Glenn Beck


I challenge all Americans, left or right, regardless if you’re a politician, pundit, painter, priest, parishioner, poet or porn star to agree with all of the following.

• I denounce violence, regardless of ideological motivation.
• I denounce anyone, from the Left, the Right or middle, who believes physical violence is the answer to whatever they feel is wrong with our country.
• I denounce those who wish to tear down our system and rebuild it in their own image, whatever that image may be.
• I denounce those from the Left, the Right or middle, who call for riots and violence as an opportunity to bring down and reconstruct our system.
• I denounce violent threats and calls for the destruction of our system – regardless of their underlying ideology – whether they come from the Hutaree Militia or Frances Fox Piven.
• I hold those responsible for the violence, responsible for the violence. I denounce those who attempt to blame political opponents for the acts of madmen.
• I denounce those from the Left, the Right or middle that sees violence as a viable alternative to our long established system of change made within the constraints of our constitutional Republic.

I will stand with anyone willing to sign that pledge. Today I make a personal choice. I urge leaders of both sides and all walks of life to join me as all Americans joined hands on 9.12.2001.

I believe that we must change ourselves to hold on to our republic. That’s why I have been talking about e4. Enlightenment. Education. Empowerment. Entrepreneurship. It’s a personal solution for all of us to become the people we were born to be, not the people we’ve allowed ourselves to become. I have called for a personal revolution; change ourselves in order to change the world. Those who live with honor and are responsible to themselves and their families will be the key to the future of our Republic, not those playing political games.

While everyone seems to be focused on politics, I instead choose to focus on Christina Green, the nine year old victim killed Saturday. Born on 9.11.2001, she is now a victim of another case of horrific violence. I hope we can all remember Christina by acting the way we did when she was one day old: To focus on values and principles, to use common sense and stop playing politics
