I've experienced that here, and believe me, they're more serious here. Hardliner radical people here threatening me for my liberal views. All that happened was I once took a beating which wasn't that bad!
And Aaron, about that letter supposedly by Ms. Lyday. It's not by her:

And I don't see what's wrong with some of the points mentioned. Obama said that the US is no more a christian nation and that it is now a nation of different beliefs...which is true.
Most of the other points show that the author...whoever that is...does not have a proper understanding of public diplomacy. The trips and speeches Obama has done to Europe and the Middle East are pubic diplomacy that have made you much safer than before - much more than the two wars ever made you safe.
Please, all Obama has done, is show the world how weak we are. Obama ain't done a goddamn thing to make me safer.BTW, you ever consider maybe she did write the letter, and is just denying it now, so she don't lose her job? In any case, whoever wrote it has guts. If I ever meet them, I'll buy them a drink. It is not the author that which is important, but the message. America is not a Christian nation in the sense that we are not a theocracy, but Judeo-Christian values where very much involved in the writing of the Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights. You know Obama is a failure when Putin has started sounding more rational than him.
The left wants Americans to be in danger, so they can blame the rights for acts of violence, accusations which always fail miserably.
The left don't even deny the fact that they want people like me dead. They practically drool over the idea of the gov rounding us up, or killing us. They don't realize most the police and military are on our side.
FYI, I consider threats to me credible, when they start rattling off my personal information.
