One woman at a Congresscritter rally kept saying “health care is a right”...health care is a right”.....Still haven’t found that “right” in the Constitution, but what do we rabblerousers know, anyway......

Dissent is limited to leftists. Obama tries to stifle dissent yet appoints a guy who wrote a book about dissent to the White House>

Absolute Hypocrisy!

Cass Sunstein, an American legal scholar and Harvard Law Professor, has been appointed by President Obama to head up the “White House Office Of Information And Regulatory Affairs.” His title is sufficiently broad and ambiguous, but he wields plenty of power. And with advance copies circulating of his new book “On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done,” Americans who still care about their rights to “freedom of speech” should be paying close attention.

I guess he's changed his mind!

Really interesting coming from a guy who wrote this in 2003...

Review Why Societies Need Dissent...shows that demands for lock-step conformity are wrong and uninformed thinking. Sunstein's important new study is filled with empirical evidence of the significance of opposition, found in his compelling explanations of the need for, and benefits of, disagreement. Sunstein reveals that, in fact, the influence of dissenters is for the better, be it with courts, juries, corporate boardrooms, churches, sports teams, student organizations or faculties, not to mention 'the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court...during times of both war and peace.' --John W. Dean (Los Angeles Times Book Review )

Grassroots is a word often used Alinsky.

I was thinking about what is the difference between nations who are taken over by a minority of left wing wacko “activists”, like those who support Chavez, and the United States. I think it is the constitution and it’s rabid supporters who go back to the beginning of our Nation.

Ameircan Leftists can catch a fad; but they can’t capture the majority of militants. Further, that majority is accostumed to protesting and even violecne in defense of freedom whereas freedom is a foreign ideal introduced by the US into third world Nations - targets or sitting ducks for Obama-like leftists.

The tea parties have the Left all freaked out because they see their own miltancy in action and know it’s ultimate power to “take over.”
