http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/01/29/a-country-in-crisis-and-a-tone-deaf-government/I don't think so. It seems to suggest that violence in the US would be understandable. This is also just a couple of weeks after the discussion of if a more civil tone of debate in this country began would be better but it seems like PoliticsDaily doesn't think so. To make matters more frustrating they're BLOCKING almost any comments except apparently ones that agree with this image while pretending to have a forum for debate and discourse. If you're familiar with PD you know they do this all the time and are probably just as annoyed with it as I am.
What really annoys me is that this smacks of tea party thinking to me, which I don't like. I've heard tea party supporters say that once the tea party was more neutral and truly libertarian then just got hijacked by people like FoxNews, but to me it seems like it's just a branch or tool of the republican party - meaning that what they'd like to overthrow, perhaps violently, is not a government that is "so far from the people" but is actually just one that they would simply like to be in control of; but this might not be fair for me to accuse the artist of. Still, if the tea party's still around when a righty takes the oval office again, if they start expanding the government, power of corporations of rich people and stuff like they tend to do and if jobs are still hard to come by (they were willing to let a bunch of huge employers thought to be "too big to fail" go down just so they wouldn't have to pay a few bucks in taxes for the stimulus that saved those companies and more importantly the workers. Didn't care about maybe millions of jobs then so long as they could keep 'theirs'), I wonder if they'll be as angry as they have been under Obama.
