If she is as bad as they say, the progressives can catch up with the conservatives in terms of rejecting their establishments and perhaps we might get a real choice in 2020. I almost hope she is that bad.  More likely, she will be as smooth and bland a piece of teflon as her husband, and not build up the sort of anger to put the Establishment truly at risk.

I'm not the EU.  I'm just one guy expressing an opinion.  You're not Britain.  You are talking up a spiral of rhetoric and violence, but the country hasn't caught up with you yet.  Some say that MLK understood Malcolm X's violence and rhetoric, and that the threat of violence behind the peaceful protests were a large factor in the civil rights movement.  In that spirit, it is a good sign that some sabers are being rattled today.

As far as I'm concerned, rattle away.  Try to rattle in the right direction.  The progressives are not all what your vile stereotypes suggest we ought to be, no more than you are what they try to claim you are.  When progressive posters insult and abuse, do you recognize yourself in their insults?  Are you what they think you are, what they say you are?  I assume not.  Assume the willful misunderstanding and urge to demonize is just as pervasive going in both directions.  

Meanwhile, it seems early to actually draw the saber and start running folk through.

I've been telling you what I can see happening in the future if we continue this trend. I'm 50 years old. I'm very familiar with the Clinton's and the crap associated with them. Lying to the public and involvement in shady deals is not an issue for them. I wasn't playing video games or watching Barnie or crawling around on the floor during the 1990's. I was watching Clinton's weaseling out of scandal's. I've watched uppity liberals blabbing to one another for many years. Blabbing about people and issues they're clueless about. I've been them watching on TV and talking with the same clueless types here. I watched as a federal building was blown up and as a group of radicals and their little kids fried to death in Waco. I watched some poor Cuban kid was ripped from a loving home in Florida home by FBI agents armed with assault rifles. I can't wait to relive it again.
