Investors Business Daily tries to incite violence
If the article below is really advocating what it appears to be advocating, I have three words for the authors: William Tecumseh Sherman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman's_March_to_the_Sea

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.

People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"

Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.

(SNIP)

The Wall Street Journal's steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is "an alien in the White House."

His bullying and offenses against the economy and job creation are so outrageous that CEOs in the Business Roundtable finally mustered the courage to call him "anti-business." Veteran Democrat Sen. Max Baucus blurted out that Obama is engineering the biggest government-forced "redistribution of income" in history.

The good news is that the blowhards on the right don't really have the guts to make good on their threats. So, I am not scared.

1. Your last two sentences could be wrong
The talking heads will not lead but the ones that listen to them believe their words.
Those are the ones you need to be afraid of.

2. hahaha, I like how the article says "if he continues leaving the borders open..."
as if Bush hasn't had the borders continually open for the past 8 years letting anything go. And they bash Obama for running up the deficit and bankrupting the country...and then in the next sentence bash him for letting tax cuts for 1% of people expire.

Really, folks are talking more in circles these days.

3. Where were these people
from 2000-2008?

Biggest government increase
Imperialistic wars
Budget breaking policies

And they were silent.

Hypocrits.

4. If the right makes good on its threats
The yahoos will end up as oily stains on the pavement.
