violent tendancies

What's up with the conservative "movement" and all the violence lately? First, of course, there's been the war on terror and the blowing up of thousands of innocent people for whatever reasons they haven't made up yet, but then there's the Pat Robertson suggestions of nuking the State Department because he disagrees with them, and now it turns out that there are three seperate radio stations that have urged people (kiddingly, "of course") to run bucyclists off the road...all three owned by the conservative Clear Channel company. story

Seriously, what is with conservatives lately? The recent attempts to overturn democracy in Florida and Texas and the success of doing so in California. The killing of thousands of Afghans and tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. The threats against the personal safety of others and the government of the United States of America. And an Attorney General that sits back and lets it slides unless the skin color of one of the perpetrators happens to be a little bit darker than alabaster. It's all really bloody...especially coming from a group of people that generally consider themselves "Christian" or at least more "Christian" (I have to put the word in quotes because, frankly, I'm beginning to not understand what exactly it means anymore) than lefties like myself.

I just don't know what to think any more.
