My problem has nothing to do with "systematic" or "coercion". Politics is systematic and activism is coercion. My problem is with the bolded word: "Terror". If there were any truth behind that, you wouldn't be on this board, for you do not remember true terror. Go look up some 9/11 videos.
Thats not substantiation, thats called a "leap of faith", and what blind faith at that. even if republicans were, as you say, "threatening" to do something in what I assume you mean, a "violent manner", This isn't terrorism, this is merely politics(although, you could argue they are one and the same, in which case, part of me would concur, hehe...). If the worst happens and the country defaults, I doubt anyone, much less tea partiers, is going to be revolting and spilling blood all over the place, everything will be just fine, the public will just have to prove it's resilience and make do for a while.
Otherwise, it's not republicans that is creating fear, it's you. And according to webster, creating fear is
terror
Now that this discussion is over, can we please relax on the rhetoric and hyperbole now? It's as bad as glenn beck, DP does not need any more of this.
