I think he was low-balling it. Sometimes, I think patriotism is the only refuge of scoundrels.

I was just on one of the rightwing boards, they call Obama the N word, refuse to acknowledge the overwhelming success he has had with the economy and jobs.
They want a war where they shoot and kill us.

There are more of us than there are of them. Throughout history, right-wing extremist movements have been put down by people who care about their fellow human beings. No matter how violent they may have been, no matter how extreme, well-led, motivated, embedded in the fabric of society, etc. They have always been defeated by love and compassion.
