I am concerned about the ugly turn our political discourse and perhaps national character seem to be taking. At least 17 people showed up with fire-arms outside the Colorado townhall by Pres. Obama. One man had a semi-automatic assault rifle slung over his shoulder. I don't know whether these weapons were loaded. I assume that the lack of arrest means this was legal. My question is was it wise?

What would the readers across the political spectrum of this forum have said if a liberal activist had showed up armed at a rally outside an event where Pres. Bush was speaking against abortion of for the Iraq war?

What will our reaction be if at a future event the pro and anti factions let catcall turn into shouting then shoving then a dozen people laying on the ground dead, dying or injure.

How many of you think it is wise, or patriotic, or smart, or provocative to carry a loaded weapon to a political event? How many would do so?

People, is this really what we want America to be?
