Ignorant Congressman Yells At President During Formal Address

So is this the new trend in politics? That grace and etiquette are not even welcomed in the halls of Congress? This was not gutsy, it was crude, disrespectful and frankly ignorant. But then, the base (and I use that term as an adjective and a noun)will just make a hero out of Wilson. Move over, Joe the Plumber, now there’s Joe the Politician.

Sheri's Random Rant: Armed and Disgruntled Protesters

I just read an article about some guy bringing an assault rifle to a protest of a presidential town hall. Before that some other brainiac brought a gun that he admitted was loaded to a protest where the president was speaking. They all claim that they are doing it to exercise their right to bear arms and if you believe that dribble you are a lost cause.

I am furious over this growing trend because it has nothing to do with exercising their rights--the fact that you bought a gun is exercising your rights to bear arms. Taking a gun to a presidential event whether you were inside or out is a threat, and given that the people bringing these guns are so off-the-charts mentally that they believe the government is planning to execute their grandparents only gives it more reason to view it as a threat. Historically, unstable or angry citizens with guns and presidents usually did not turn out well. This rage has nothing to do with this administrations' policies and everything to do with a cultural shift scaring the hell out of some doomsday seekers. These people aren't willing to accept the results of a democratic process unless it works in their favor. I have yet to come across one of these geniuses that was even capable of defining what socialism and communism are, and the fact that they think the terms can be used interchangeably is proof that they are up in arms about something and they don't even know what the hell that "something" is. And what is so ironic is that these so-called Freedom Fighters are probably going to end up triggering a backlash that will actually restrict gun laws in states because of their idiocy.

And please don't waste my time with some ******** "argument" about some random liberal that you can't cite that didn't like Bush because I doubt very much they were armed.

I didn't vote for George W. Bush, but I didn't want him to fail, either. Why? BECAUSE I LIVE HERE! Wanting the administration in power to fail makes about as much since as hoping a town bridge you are driving on collapses because you don't like the mayor. I would have had a severe problem with anyone bringing a gun to any of his engagements because that would have been a threat to the president of my country. Even if I didn't vote for him, I at least had the grace to accept that the candidate I wanted lost. He was still my president. I didn't have to like him to respect his position. That line of thinking is this lovely concept called being an adult.

Whether you like Obama or not, he's still your president. Whether you agree with his policies, he's still your president. Whether this cultural shift has you scared as hell because anything different signifies the apocalypse to you, HE'S STILL YOUR PRESIDENT. If you want to protest, great! Don't want a bill passed? Write your freaking Congress member! Still don't like the president? CAMPAIGN HARDER NEXT TIME. But don't go around with silent threats to the President of the United States because you lack the dignity to respect the democratic process!

Seeing that some of the things mentioned in this book are now popping up on the news, I decided to post an overdue note of the impression I received from this book. I finished reading it a bit ago...I couldn't put it down when I started it, but I was curled up on the couch with a blanket over my head like I was reading a horror story. I think I was more relaxed while reading The Exorcist. I kept expecting him to pop out of the book with a meat cleaver or something. My pre-Angler thoughts on Cheney were that I was part in awe of him because from an analytical perspective he is absolutely fascinating, but in the same way Hannibal Lector would be a fascinating study. Other than that, he just struck me as being extremely creepy. After reading this book, however, those sentiments are amplified. I can't believe he's human. The volume of knowledge he possesses about politics and people is insane. At first, Cheney just gave me the creeps. Now I am flat-out terrified of him and what is strange is that I am sure that was never the author's intention. It was presented as just a regular this-is-what-happened book and if you put another person as the person-of-interest instead of Cheney it would probably have been just a regular this-is-what-happened book. I strongly recommend this book. Even if you aren't interested in politics it would still make an awesome horror read.

Election Humor

Creepy Dancing Baby Commercial

It's more creepy than cute...especially when they jumped on that fence. If the right scary music was playing I would have peed myself.
