Hagerstown’s newspaper of record, the Herald-Mail, allows readers to go to its website and respond to the many articles it publishes. Yesterday’s article chronicling President-elect Barack Obama’s historic win really brought the whack jobs out.
Here is just one example:
What is wrong with the people in this country? Don’t they realize that they just put the enemy in the highest position possible in this great country? A year from now there will be no Bibles, our children will be forced to be trained to destroy innocent people for no other reason than power and greed, and we will have no one to thank, but our own people. God have mercy on us all. He’s the only one that can save us now. Take a good look around you, because 4 years from now you won’t have the freedom to. Look at what we’ve destroyed.
This person thinks that Barack Obama as President will not only confiscate all of our Bibles, he will turn our children into suicide bombers. I don’t remember reading anything about that on the Obama website.

/ November 7, 2008Hey, your brother, Tim, told me about your blog. I am working for him now and we found out we hold a lot of the same views except he’s a bit of a nazi in my book. I prefer something called participatory economics. I think you might find it interesting if you look it up. It’s based on collectives of people owning companies and such instead of shareholders or the government. It’s basically bringing democracy into the economy. I like what I’ve been reading from you. Keep up the good work.
