My optimistic and altruistic sides wants to believe that common decency prevailed. My cynical side insists otherwise. It insists that this is an attempt to present a moderate face for political gain.

Here is the definition of the word patriotism per answer.com:

Love of and devotion to one’s country.

I don’t see how wanting the death of the Vice President, which some have been wanting and laughing about his heart for several years now, is even remotely patriotic. Our founding Fathers would be slapping these lowlife idiots in the face and tossing their asses out of the country. – Lorica

These are sick and twisted individuals and I am quite certain this is what makes and drives the left now.

Very true sanity, but are we really surprised? I know I’m not.

Yes, I said it, Liberal Hate.

Go into the cesspool that you call DU or KOS, and you will see it, look at huffington, by the way, Michelle Malkin has an Update, a linked PDF file someone did up of Huffington before they closed it down.

When are people going to understand that the person you hoped would die is an AMERICAN?

When are people going to understand that you can disagree, that you can not like a person, but to actively hope for the death of a person because he/she is a republican, democrat, independent, black, white, green, blue – that this shit don’t matter, they are AMERICANS. You are actively hoping for an AMERICAN to die?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

You don’t just “live” in America, if you are a citizen, you are part of America, you are an AMERICAN – it doesn’t matter if your white, black, republican, democrat, christian or atheist – your an AMERICAN, and for what these people talk like, you wish for one of your fellow citizens to die.

These are sick and twisted individuals and I am quite certain this is what makes and drives the left now.

While I do not agree with many democrats, or even global warming debaters, or pro-abortion people, I would never, NEVER hope they would die or be sorry that someone didn’t kill them.

Sick individuals.

I don’t understand why the Taliban took credit for a failure. It is now more likely than before that we’ll simply do Pakistan’s job for them.

I also wonder why Vice was the one sent to Pakistan in the first place: is that not the job for the Secretary of Defense? Quite frankly, I do not like the thought of the person who’s “a heartbeat away from the presidency” making these sorts of trips.

We are all thankful that the Vice President is safe. This incident serves to remind us that the situation in the Middle East must be taken seriously by the United States government. I would love to hear a plan for peace from the newly-elected Democrats…
