Leave the Guns Home, Please

I have spoken often on this blog about the right’s readiness to introduce violence and the threat of violence into the national health care non-debate.  Some of the people who have commented on my postings have made it quite clear that they view the use of force to be just another debating tactic, to be used at their discretion when they feel “their America” is threatened.

This is all the result of the deliberate tactics I spoke of in my last post. The powerful industries on the other side of this issue are willing to stop at nothing to achieve their ends, which, of course, is to maximize their profits while mitigating risk.  They will do what they have to do, even if they so thoroughly divide America that normal debate is impossible without threats of force.
