Comparing the 9/11 attacks to the current domestic threats (and acts) of violence against individual government officials or their physical offices is an apples-and-oranges comparison.
The current domestic political environment is more properly compared to the lead-up to the Whiskey Rebellion and Shay’s Rebellion.
The “Tea Party” movement appears to consist of some people with legitimate grievances, but dominated by malcontents, rabble-rousers, and conspiracy theorists.
Furthermore, bricks have been thrown through windows throughout our Nation’s history - typically by zealots, ideologues and cowardly thugs. Death threats have been made and carried out by the corrupt or insane.
Congressmen, back in the early 1800’s, occasionally beat one another with canes and even drew firearms on one another. Compare that to today’s lack of reasonable discourse and the Boehner/Reid/McConnell/Pelosi conflict seems positively civilized.
I despise the knee-jerk opposition to anything supported by the Democratic Party. My local Republican congressman routinely votes the Party line - the Republican way, it seems.
While I was profoundly unhappy with George W. Bush as a President, I was usually able to divorce that distaste from my consideration of his policies. Instances where I did agree with Bush were still rare.
Yet, I never considered advocating violence against any governmental agency or individual. Instead, I wrote to my congressman, senators, and the President himself. (I have been been doing so since the Reagan years). I make my voice heard through letters to the editor. I vote consistently.
And I keep firearms at hand to protect me from both the Government (if necessary) and those who would seek to overthrow it (when necessary). I am a Democrat. Don’t tread on me, either, Tea Partiers.
