““Between now and November 6, you better put a catcher’s mask on your face because I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes.” Unfortunately this isn’t trash talk from some middle school bully… it’s a public threat made by a Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate to his incumbent opponent. With the midterm elections tomorrow, I wanted to take some time today to remind you who your vote actually supports. Politics has likely never been more divisive in the US… and the politicians continually stoke this flame, often times, like with the quote above, inciting their constituents to carry out violent acts against the opposing party. It’s completely despicable that this has become the state of government in the land of the free… instead of focusing the public’s attention on solving the big problems the US faces (like debt), politicians continue to advance a partisan agenda. And they encourage outright violence. One congresswoman encouraged supporters to attack members of the Cabinet if they saw them in public… "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." ”
