I plan to watch it live. I plan to fly my flag proudly. I plan to cheer when President Obama takes the Oath of Office.
Unfortunately, others such as Republican talk radio host and World Net Daily columnist Hal Turner have different plans. Turner wrote detailed plans for a deadly attack on the ceremonies titled “My Inauguration Dream”. Turner’s plan involves using remote controlled drone aircraft and explosives and rationalizes the potential loss of life by claiming, “Lets set the record straight: With regard to anyone attending the inauguration, none of them are innocent.”
I’m optimistic for my country now that we have an intelligent, inspiring leader that nearly 80% of Americans believe in, however, I fear for our President knowing that right-wing nut jobs on the radio will incite other right-wing nut jobs to commit acts of violence.
May God bless President Obama AND the secret service who is tasked with protecting him.
God Bless America.
