When I first saw this article<\/a> this morning, I didn’t pay a lot of attention and didn’t read all the way to the end.<\/p>\n

Seriously now, what comes to mind when you hear that somebody sent letters to state governors telling them to resign in three days or “be removed”? Idiotic, moronic, and blindingly stupid are words that spring into the brain, yes? Along with the clever concept of “painting a target on your own back.” Ho hum.<\/p>\n

But I should have read on. It turns out that people like me — and very likely, people like you — are the new “extremist” threat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Radical civil libertarians”? Huh? And here all this time I thought that people who used armed thuggery to violate<\/i> liberties were the real extremist threat.<\/p>\n

Anonymous, self-appointed “Guardian Elders” and a gang of colonels is exactly<\/i> what this country needs to restore freedom …<\/p>\n

Still, there’s nothing on that page that indicates they’d target state governors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
