That was the theme of the entire Bush administration, was it not? I recall Cheney once (probably more than once) suggesting that all American Democrats should be killed.

Funny, I do not see myself as a liberal, as some of my values are strictly conservative, especially my religious views. And I am an independent. However, I do not consider warmongering, militarism, arrogance, and quest to further enrich the upper 1% of the population at the expense of the middle class as being any "conservative" values to brag about.
You just sound confused to me. There is no connection between religious belief and conservatism. Many liberals are religious. 80% of the country are moderately to strongly religious. If conservatives had a grip on religiosity then how did they not prevail in the election with that 80%?
Would you rather live in an economy that can have a rich 1% than one in which there is no hope of every getting there. Under the Bush admin, the size of that group more than doubled, by the way. Apparently the populist appeal of redistribution of wealth sounds good to you, but do a math problem. Calculate the wealth of that 1% and divide it amongst the remaining population. Then go buy a coffee with your personal share.
When you fall for that equality of outcome crap your weak thinking generates and breeds the Madoffs to take advantage of you.

Maybe you can come up with that quote that Cheney made, and possibly what the context was when it was made?
Could it be that maybe he was referring to the Honorable Senator Harry Reid, when he pronounced that the war was lost in Iran, when the "surge" troops hadn't even reached Iraq yet?

I'm sure I could if I cared. It's enough for now that what was possibly the most divisive administration in our country's history (OK, perhaps second to Lincoln) has been exorcised from our government. That these folks might one day pay for their misdeeds is little more than a romantic pipe dream.

I think you'll find that the current administraton will prove to be even more divisive than the Bush, or Clinton terms.
That 9 page tome already has folks within the law enforcement community up in arms. I doubt that you would be so easy on Bush if he had made the same propositions............
Again, the LWNJ contingent always cries for tolerance and free speech, unless they don't like what is said or don't like being tolerant of things they don't agree with. Really more like the negative/positive camera image than a real difference.
Myself I've had trouble understanding how some people can see things so black and white -- and at such polar opposites as well. Most of what I see is shades of gray. 'course when I was younger I did have more of the answers.
Myself, I'm just wondering why right wingers are planning on violence. This isn't a "free speech" issue, you can go anywhere on the Internet and find a right wing blog where posters are posting crazy shit, but now, the crazy shit is right wing threats of treasonous violence to overturn a legal election in the United States and to kill US citizens, in fact, you can go right to a Mercedes car forum, like this one:
Glenn Beck is doing his damndest to turn you guys into a right wing mob. All people on the Left should arm themselves in case you people become a national security threat, so we can protect our homes and our families from the 22% of the electorate who now wants to tell the other 88% what to do, to swallow their political beliefs without benefit of election, at gunpoint. One must never forget that while the worst terrorist attack in the US was committed by Islamcists, the second worst was committed by Right Wing Nut Jobs. You nuts are capable of anything, especially lunacy.

Yeah, I bet they are up in arms, wondering which one of you right wingers is going to shoot one of them in the head first.
