Are you kidding me?
Few kill. But many rant.
The litany that made accused Pentagon attacker Joseph Patrick Bedell smolder and rant is varied, and still coming to light. His history was one of mental illness, not fringe-group agitation.
In an Internet posting, Bedell had suggested an act like the 2001 terrorist attacks could have been the work of a criminal organization controlling the U.S. government, accepting a “sacrifice of thousands of its citizens … as a small cost in order to perpetuate its barbaric control.”
His poisonous view of the government appears well out on the extreme—until you see what some people close to the center of power are saying these days.
“America is teetering towards tyranny,” Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina told the Conservative Political Action Conference last month. He accused the governing Democrats of peddling socialist policies “that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries all over the world.”
Republicans have been branding Democratic policies as some form of socialism for generations, par for the course.
But tyranny? America has real issues with that—it violently overthrew that enemy at the start.

My God, I don’t even know where to begin on this. First of all, the Democrats’ policies are a form of Socialism. That is simply not up for debate particularly since we have a president in the White House who has succeeded in partially socializing the auto industry, the banking industry, and is attempting to take complete control of the health care industry.
Secondly, let’s discuss tyranny. We have a president and a Congress trying to ram a government take over of health care down the throats of the entire nation that the people have soundly rejected and yet the Congress doesn’t give a damn. That’s the latest tyrannical actions of the Federal government in a list of hundreds, if not thousands more going back decades. Redistribution of wealth, compulsory education, radical environmentalism, all of these things and more are actions of a tyrannical government. The Founders of this country revolted against the British for a hell of a lot less than what we put up with today, but let’s get down to the meat and potatoes of this absurd juxtoposition.
Senator DeMint said, “America is teetering towards tyranny.” That’s it. And according to the dynamic douche bag duo Calvin Woodward and Eileen Sullivan of the Associated Press, those words drove Joseph Bedell to open fire at the Pentagon subway station. They glossed right over an inconvenient truth for them, however, that Bedell was a registered Democrat. Bedell also despised George W Bush and was a 9-11 truther. He was also diagnosed bi-polar and manic depressive. Does this sound like a loony right wing militia wanna be clinging to God and his guns to you? This fits the bill of an anarchist and they don’t like government regardless of who is controlling it. He was also clinically nuts.
You would think that two experienced “journalists” would have been able to find these facts that dozens of other folks in the alternative media were able to track down in a matter of hours following the incident, but it’s clear that Woodward and Sullivan were more concerned with pushing a biased political agenda than being honest couriers of the news.
