I disagree with the concluding paragraph. I don't think we should hate back just as hard, the rest is right on the money. thezman.com

David Reynolds' biography of John Brown documents the same phenomenon leading up to the Civil War: a culture of mob violence in the South which cowed Northerners and abolitionists, who feared Southern violence. A Senator - Charles Sumner - famously got caned on the Senate floor. Missourians with their long knives symbolized Southern violence before the Civil War. There was a genuine fear. Until John Brown gave the North a martyr. The Left today deliberates from a position of implied, or not so implied, violence. One day people will have enough and somebody will stand up and say "No!", and it will be a tidal wave, IMO.
