I did notice that almost all the threads and topics on this political forum have been "hijacked" by a very few, extremists. they appear to have no room for reality as perceived by others (difference of opinion). I see the same tired rhetoriic and talking points the tea party uses continuously, God,Guns, no government..Hate inspired talk by a few misguided individuals,that are willing to destroy this country, just to make Obama a one term president. I've seen it first hand by neighbors with some really disgusting attempts at humor, all of it racist and hateful..As a Vietnam vet,I can say, "They" have the same color blood as us..BTW, the democratic party is alive and well in the Villages.

We are becoming a nation of two trades...Burger flippers and warriors..We can kill, bomb,better than anyone, some out of necessity..On the other hand when someone mentions giving a helping hand to feed and educate, You say oh no, we can't have big government..We need to buy hundreds of planes(F22 raptors) at a tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and THEY DON'T FLY. OH BUT WAIT,WE CAN'T LOOK AT DEFENSE SPENDING,THAT'S OFF LIMITS..RUBBISH. How many of you patriots have held a firearm in harms way and stood a post? I have, and it's a lonely existence, but one to learn from. For the tea party I say look at history, look at the COPPERHEADS..the last attempt to undermine a country, and they nearly did..(Dems too). Learn from histoy, look for common ground, and demonstrate a willingness to consider the other side's opinion...finally, "Of course FASCISM will arrive in this country, it will be disguised as PATRIOTISM".......Huey Long
