Goon squad

Great editorial on the Kentucky head stomping in the local newspaper.

We keep hearing this is the year of the angry voter. But what motivates people to physically assault a woman who's carrying a political sign they don't like?

Certainly not respect for the Constitution, which enshrines the right of all citizens to express their opinions without fear. Not a belief in the rule of law. Not common decency.

Some members of Paul's Tea Party issue paranoid warnings that President Barack Obama and Democrats are totalitarians out to impose Marxist control over our country.

But look which side produced the goon squad.

Also makes a great point about the false equivalency of the weaselly "both sides do it" justifications.

I'm really tired of hearing that one myself. And the biggest difference the cons always ignore is "both sides" aren't stockpiling guns and ammo and calling for an armed revolution if they lose at the ballot box.

There's a reason law enforcement uses the phrase, "armed and dangerous." Of course, in today's world, sadly, that can all too often apply to the cops as well the criminals.
