Lambs to the Slaughter
Grand Rants ^ | 04-16-10 | Stoutcat

Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he’s cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.

“You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said.

While remarks like this are perfectly in keeping with President Obama’s outlook on anyone who disagrees with him (See Alinsky Rule #5), they aren’t gaining him or his party any street cred with his increasingly disillusioned constituents. In Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell’s latest column, they look at the fact that Americans are polarizing more toward the Tea Party outlook and away from Obama...

Having wasted nearly 12 months on forcing a wildly unpopular health care bill on the American people, and ignoring the ominous Burma Shave signs of Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, Obama and Congress are facing potential disaster in November’s elections...

what is a “disaster”?

Katrina was a disaster. The Pacific tsunami was a disaster. Haiti was a “disaster”. The Iceland volcano is a “disaster”. The peaceful transfer of power in democratic elections is not a DISASTER.

Congress being lined up against a wall- would be a “disaster”. Being defeated for reelection and sent home to be free and prosperous private American citizens is NOT a “disaster”

Obama expects every knee to bow — to him.

I want the criminals to face prison and that's why its so important that we put republicans in place who are squeaky clean. If they're clean the criminals can't threaten to expose any dirt.

Perhaps, in the view of some. But, Congress being frog-marched to a waiting prison cell for a long stint behind bars would be a beautiful sight to behold.

Let them go, they are people that are drowning and will only drown the rescuers trying to save them.

Many years from now they will have the daily burden of guilt on their shoulders for the rest of their lives, a living tormented hell.

well, good luck in finding those...

Sarah seems about as clean a public figure as could be found, and look what they’ve done to her and her children

This sounds just like the BDS haters that want to try Bush Cheney and Rove...sadly

Defeat them at the ballot box, and then send them home (not on VIP jets) to make a living- torture for these pompous oligarchs

There's a big difference between slinging mud and exposing real dirt. Some of us still believe in doing the right thing in the face of adversity.

Sending these marxists home to be free and prosperous (Most likely as lobbyists) citizens means they'll only return and we'll be right back here in less than a decade.

Its time to crush marxism in America for good.

The funny thing about Obama's continued use of Alinsky's "rules" is that Alinsky never tested his rules to see if they work for someone who is actually elected.

In fact, the best I can tell is that Alinsky (despite the fact this his muse for "Rules for Radicals" was Lucifer himself) was, like Obama, just a community organizer and sometimes university lecturer.

Alinsky was nothing but a petty con man like Harry the hack on the old Cheers series.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2489630/posts

>>ALINSKY: .... I moved over to the table next to the cashier, exchanged a few words with her and then finished my coffee and got up to pay. “Gee, I’m sorry,” I said, “I seem to have lost my check.” She’d seen that all I had was a cup of coffee, so she just said, “That’s OK, that’ll be a nickel.” So I paid and left with my original nickel check still in my pocket and walked a few blocks to the next cafeteria in the same chain and ordered a big meal for a buck forty-five — and, believe me, in those days, for a buck forty-five I could have practically bought the [expletive deleted by mod] joint. I ate in a corner far away from the cashier, then switched checks and paid my nickel bill from the other place and left. So my eating troubles were taken care of.<<

Watch what Zer0 does, not what he says.

The further he goes, the more he says, the more fully he confirms my first impressions of him:

he is just a smart-a$$, arrogant punk . . . albeit an exceptionally subversive and evil one

That ass is going to be waiting for a very long time.

They have every intent of eliminating any conservative power in America forever. Letting them scurry back to their burrows is no longer an option.

Political opposition is one thing and actually a good thing but these people don’t want us to oppose them ever again.

Yeah, PUNISH THEM!!! Make them go back home to survive on the measely $100+K pension they voted to give themselves decades ago!! See how well they can live on THAT!!! Then, to add to their misery, FORCE them to work as lobbyists making 2 or 3 times what their Congressional pension pays!!! That'll show'em!!

Extreme sarcasm aside, these people have violated their oaths of office in which they swore to support, defend and uphold the Constitution; they are traitors to America having violated virtually every provision of the Constitution; and, they have committed malfeasance in office. Defeating them in November is not enough.

They should fear for the loss of their freedom just like they’ve made us fear for the loss of ours.
