You don't like how the last election turned out? Become more politically active. Are all politicians inherently corrupt? Run for office and give us someone who is honest. You don't like the current administration's legislation? Draft some legislation and present that to your elected Representatives, but please stop whining and threatening violence. At least here. Say whatever you want down in your bunker or in the church parking lot.

See what also makes me worry is that in this last election the American people spoke and elected the left by a vast majority, which caused many people on the right to snap. Now it appears that if the people don't cow to the right's wishes, the right will start a civil war. That's not freedom either. That's tyranny. When the people aren't allowed to freely elect who they wish because of threats by one side, that cannot be called freedom.
