>What is the point in being involved? If the country wants 'em, let them have them. Not sure there is anything worth saving anyway. It's a mean spirited place these days; not the USA I grew up in.

That's such crap, John... The USA you grew up in was at the tail end of segregation and Jim Crow, to say the least.


I don't think that's what RW meant. There have always been bad things going on this country. However, we didn't have the president get threated with assassination at every turn. It seems everywhere Obama shows up lately someone is toting a gun and at least once a week, a prominent R suggests taking him out might solve the country's problems. The latest was some R running for office in ID. I posted it tonite.

I don't remember people openly talking about assassinating Reagan or Bush I or Bush II, or attending one of their speaking engagements brandishing a gun in a threatening manner. Do you?
