Got to watch a little of the "Million" Veterans march on DC yesterday. It was supposed to be about letting the memorials in DC stay open. But the appearance of some Tea Party politicians and than a march to to the White House turned ugly.
Larry Klayman who used to be a little less nuts said the, "President has to take his hand off the Koran." D.C.police were called the Gestapo, and "Kenyan thugs." Racism at its worst.The Million Vets organizers apologized saying the event was supposed to be a political.
The problem of secession in this country was solved by a bloody and brutal Civil War. Before the Civil War there was such polarization that people who had worked and served together both in the armed forces and Congress could no longer speak with each other. Some what similar to today.
I believe and hope that cooler heads will prevail but the far right in this country is really playing with fire and we could all get burned.
