Town hall meeting on health care reform all across this land are being disrupted by an astroturf movement made up of a mop of uninformed idiots, stoked by lies and hatred by groups who have no love of this country, who just want to make sure no one gets the facts that might actually shed light on this complex issue. To shout "just say no" every time someone asks a serious question or a representative tries to give a serious answer is not dissent, but merely mob behavior. Do not misunderstand me on this very important point, I believe strongly in not only the right of dissent, but the responsibility of every citizen to stand and express their points of view and work hard to head the ship of state on a course they believe in. It is the very nature of our system of government, and we lose if we don't stay informed and engaged on the issues that face us all. But where is value in staying willfully uniformed? Where is the chance to make informed choices if the truth is drowned out? My complaint with these disrupters is not with their passion nor their misplaced beliefs, nor even that they are being used by Corp. fat cats to stop legislation that will benefit all americans. My issue with them is that they believe that the very act of a discussion on the issues is wrong, that we should not hear any voice but theirs. We know where they stand "JUST SAY NO" to anything that any democrat proposes, especially if he is black! There lies the real heart of the beast, not patriotism, but bigotry fueled by the nonstop hate speech spewing forth from the radio and television and the Internet 24/7. When Rush and  Beck and all the rest of the Faux news liars and those of their ilk openly call for violence against this President and other liberal leaders, then say, "Only kidding" we know who they are aiming these comments to, the nut jobs out their like Timothy McVeigh. No patriot wants to stifle debate, and no terrorist wants it. If you seek to disrupt because your argument is weak, or if your prejudices are so strong that you threaten violence, you are no patriot, you are a mere terrorist!
