No, I'm not defending rioting -- or Barry Goldwater. My point is that we all might want to be a little more careful with our rhetoric and actions (cough Cliven Bundy cough). For generations now, the right wing has insisted on saber rattling, and don't seem real upset when that gets twisted into all sorts of ugly rage...provided it's the "right" (or rhymes with "right") people. When
less desirable folks get fed up, it becomes
"put the thugs in their place." Sadly, it's unlikely we'll see any real change.
