Pelosi worried about angry rhetoric over healthcare?

Hey she said:"Our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe," she added. "But I also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause."

No Pelosi ... there should be not but! the first part of the sentence is indeed what makes this nation so great and i don't see why we have to add an exception to it. This is a right ... I can say what i want i should not be responsible for how it is interpreted or by whom it is being taken advantage of or distorted. That means that my freedom and my right comes with a string attach ... therefore i am not free nor do i have that right.

I watched Nancy Pelosi and though she is not one of my favorite people in the world, I had to agree with the sentiment she was trying to express. I believe it is not only the right, but the duty of American citizens to speak out when their government is not responsive to them.

I was a teen in the 1960’s and I joined in many protests for causes I believed in, mainly civil rights and justice. I remember all too well the hostile political environment that was prevalent when JFK was killed. He had been called a Commie sympathizer and much more by his opponents. That was the first death I remember that affected me. It saddened me and made me see the world differently from that moment on. It was true. Camelot was gone, but there was much more to follow. The political climate was thick when Martin Luther King was killed. That was a heart breaking event, only to be followed by the death of Bobby Kennedy. Most everyone felt a sense of great loss, one way or the other. Can you imagine armed forces tanks rolling down the streets in America’s cities? Cities burning? I go down this road in my memory because I see the political climate just as angry and just as hateful as it was back in the 1960’s. People of my generation saw first hand the madness such sentiments lead to. Unfortunately, it seems to be a lesson not easily passed from one generation to the next.

My fear is that if this climate gets out of hand, America may not ever …exist anymore. To see major cities in ruins is something you would have had to see to believe. It looked like the end of the world. Frightening. So even if you feel strongly about an issue, others around you may not be as emotionally balanced as you. It only takes a Sirhan Sirhan, Lee Harvey Oswald (who was shot live during the nightly news by Jack Ruby) or a James Earl Ray to change the course of history…..forever. There is no place for guns at a political rally, no matter which freedom gives us the right to bear arms. You would need to know history to understand why it is important to be civil if we are to be a civilized society. We are better than that.

Well who started the angry rhetoric first ? Wasnt it Miss Nancy herself who called us "astro-turfers" and "nazi's" ? Miss Pelosi has not seen any thing yet her day is coming and coming soon. She and her Democratic cohorts started this "turf" war and by God the American People are going to finish this fight.

She and her party have been the picture of angry rhetoric and dismissive statements. That was the most hypocritical thing I have seen since Ted Kennedy did a PSA about drunk driving kills.

The health care issue is decided already in the House. It's in the Senate where the real battle lies.Pelosi just needs to make sure not too many "blue dog" democrats jump ship. It's going to be the US Senate that decides this whole health care issue not the House. It seems like the former Saturday nigh live comedian Al Franken US Senator from Minnesota will vote to stop any Republican filibuster, final score 60-40. Dems win.

No one should even listen to that dried up old hag. She is just plain stupid and I think people from all sides of the aisle can see that.

Pelosi needs to go.
