Conservatives are angry with the way their government has ignored their call for fiscal responsibility. Conservatives are angry with the way their government ignores the constitution. Conservatives are angry with the assault on their freedom and the intrusion of government into their private lives. Conservatives are active and engaged in the process we call democracy. Conservatives are not prone to violence against their government. Conservatives use the political process at the ballot box to make the changes they see necessary when reforming government. That is what happened this past November.
Paul Krugman’s article “Climate of Hate” is a pack of lies. Conservatives do not have a propensity toward violence; it is the left that leans on violence to get their way. Every violent disturbance this country and the world witnesses are funded and flamed by unions, community organizers, college students, and environmentalists. They call it “social justice” and they rarely use the legitimate political process like elections because their agenda is usually rejected by the citizenry. You see the dirty little secret is the majority of people live their lives as conservatives. Conservatives take responsibility for their lives, pay their mortgages, work hard and save, and simply don’t have the time to burn flags, piss on crosses, apologize for American success, and undermine the moral fabric that holds this nation together.
The idea that Fox or talk radio or conservatives are bad for America is preposterous. The idea that conservative talkers promote violence is an absolute lie. What Krugman has done in this article is to flame the fires of lies that have no standing in fact. This latest assault on innocent victims was conducted by a mentally unstable individual that leans left not right. There is no connection between the good conservative Americans and this violent tragedy in Arizona. These families are being prayed for in every conservative home in America while the left wing continues to expel religion from our society. The compassionate soul of this country is collectively coming together around the victims of this tragedy while the left uses this as a political tool to promote their agenda. Krugman should be ashamed of this article. And the NYT’s should be ashamed that they printed it.
Is Krugman suggesting we limit free speech? Or just conservative speech? Is Krugman accusing someone specific on the right for this tragedy? Is Krugman using the NYT’s to promote a dialogue to discuss our political differences? What exactly is Krugman doing with his article? Who did the fact checks on this article? Who believes this tripe?
Limiting disagreement about our government is unconstitutional so what is the answer? Let’s start by telling the truth…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

Rich, It's amazing how liberals will use ANY misfortune to further their cause.
Really? the prior poster is complaining that liberals are abusing a tragedy for political purposes and completely ignores the fact that this blog post is doing the exact same thing!
"Every violent disturbance this country and the world witnesses are funded and flamed by unions, community organizers, college students, and environmentalists. Wow what an ignorant irresponsible statement! So just out of curiosity which group did the Oklahoma City bombers fall under?
The Oklahoma City bomber was a deranged individual connected to no one. The Arizona terrorist committing the latest act was connected to no one. Leaning left or right has no baring on the act. The point is that the left is using this to stop political debate they don't like. That is the point. The radical left can't win at the ballot box or on the airwaves. The audience numbers for major media on the left show no one wants to hear the lies. Fox news is the closest thing we have to any real facts in the mainstream media. All of these media outlets have an agenda but to think that the conservative movement is violent is ridiculous.
No one is thinking anymore with sense only emotion.
Opinions are not facts. There are opinions based on fact and opinions based on emotion. We can see things in different ways but there is no way to see the First Amendment for what it is; protection of speech against or for our political system. If you want to change it, go through the amendment process and let's have the debate.
Everything else is just noise. We can agree that the victims of all of these nuts deserve our thoughts and prayers; At least I hope we can agree...
This Blog post is a response to what the left has been attempting. Otherwise there would have been no need...
I agree that this was the act of a single, violent disturbed individual and no one else is to blame, either by word or deed. I do still take exception to your comment that I quoted. It seems to me in trying to defend one side against an unfounded attack you attacked the other side. How is that reasonable or productive? There will always be jackasses on all sides that are all about division, why join the lowest common denominator?
