I work in health care, in a quite conservative county in a swing state. Seniors that were not illiterate called in and stated that they were afraid of being put to death, and blasting the administration in anger.

Isn't this, the town hall yellers and the birth certificate folks the same group of people? Opposed to the Obama administration, but having no arguments and perceiving their own alternate reality (seniors being put to death, Obama not having a birth certificate, medicare not government run)? If they and the corporate forces behind them prevail, it makes you wonder whether american democracy is any longer viable.
