This is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

A man was detained and turned over to the Secret Service today in Hagerstown, MD. He was holding handprinted 'Death to Obama' and 'Death to Michele and her two stupid kids' signs while attending a healthcare town hall meeting.

This is wrong on so many levels ...

First, it is illegal to threaten or appear to threaten the President. The Secret Service, rightfully so, takes swift and forceful action when a perceived threat is identified. It is this way no matter who is holding the office, and is absolutely the correct thing to do.

Second, no matter how angry you are over policy, it is never acceptable to threaten those who don't agree with you. Debate, disagree - yes. Threaten, either verbally or physically - no.

Third, there is no information yet on who this man is, or why he held this sign. Is he a right wing nut job, a left wing nut job, or a Dem plant to cast a negative shadow on opposition to Obamacare? I'm sure we will be told in the coming days.

Fourth, this guy is just plain stupid. No matter why he did it, he is in a world of trouble now - and he should be!

As the anger over what Obama and his left wing goons are doing to this country spreads, we are going to see more of this. Obamacare has been exposed, and the dirty, underhanded way in which he tried to force it on us is making people very angry, very disturbed at what their government is doing to them. The Democrat agenda, the speed in which they are pushing it through, and the secrecy in which they are doing it are causing what should be a civil debate on policy to crumble into out and out hatred. The stage is being set for something very bad to happen, something that will split this country wide open. I pray to God that it doesn't happen ....

I can't believe that this country has been pushed to this point by arrogant, ignorant people who feel they are the only ones who know what must be done.
