As far as that goes, why haven't the Fort Hood shooter (or the underwear bomber) been executed yet? It's pretty clear that in both cases they committed the acts they are accused of.

If it's legitimate to associate Mr. Stack with the Tea Party, then it's equally legitimate to associate the left with the SDS, the Weathermen, and the acts of terrorism those groups committed, right?

I don't know about you, but I get kind of cranky when I find out that I have to work until sometime in April or May to pay the taxman (combined federal state and local taxes and probably even longer when I consider all the hidden taxes). Then Obama and the democrats go on a drunken spending spree, ballooning the deficit over $1 trillion dollars for several years and now claiming they are going to reduce the deficit to only $600 billion by 2015. That several trillion dollars more in federal debt is something that those of us who actually pay taxes are going to have to pay back with interest. Unless Obama has a hidden diamond mine somewhere, that means my taxes are going to go up. No, I don't make $200K/year, but neither do I expect the corporations that are going to have to pay all those new taxes are just going to absorb them instead of passing them on to teh working guy.
I have to hand it to Obama. I used to be pretty politically passive, but the deficit bubble has gotten my attention.
