Pelosi/Hoyer op-ed in Monday USATODAY calls townhall protesters 'un-American'... Developing..

What happens when the middle class feels even more victimized than the nation's poor? When American middle-class citizens feel that they are being steamrolled by a Changeopoly Blitzkrieg, engineered by the principalities and powers of overreaching government and corporate oligarchs? When the only answer they're given to their just concerns about unsustainable debt is "We won."? Well, those beleaguered middle-class folks might take a look at the tactics which have been working against them for four decades and decide to make use of some of those tactics themselves. Middle-class Americans, myself among them, have watched for 40 years, as one...

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." NORMALLY, I'm not one to get fired up about political issues, but this White House crowd is getting to be more...

Rather than waiting for your neighbors to turn you in at flag@whitehouse.gov, make it easy on yourself. This video shows Americans doing the right thing and turning themselves in. IF YOU OPPOSE OBAMA TURN YOURSELF IN

Vocal S.C. senator has become conservatives’ point man. BY JAMES ROSEN WASHINGTON — Soft-spoken, slight of physical stature and not even the senior senator in his own state, Jim DeMint isn’t the most likely choice to fill the role of one-man Obama wrecking crew. Yet the first-term S.C. Republican quickly has emerged as a leading voice of opposition to President Obama’s bid to overhaul the U.S. health care system with new or expanded federal government programs. . . . . . “This is a battle I’ve been waiting for and hoping for, for years,” DeMint told McClatchy newspapers. “We’ve got...

Obama Tells US Citizen Opposition to Shut Up--or Else Showing once again that he is no statesman--let alone President of the United States--Dictator-in-Chief Obama told his Union thugs to “get out there” and fight back against any and all US citizens who oppose both him and his programs. So, at Town Hall meetings in both Tampa, FL and St. Louis, MO they did. In Tampa, Randy Arthur was shoved up against a wall by purported SEIU thugs resulting in Arthur suffering chest injuries and a ripped shirt. At the same meeting, a Democrat Party official--Karen Miracle--was photographed assaulting Barry Osteen...

Imagine it's four years ago and an aide to President George W. Bush posted a blog on the Whitehouse.gov Web site that bemoaned Internet criticism of the Iraq war, then continued: "These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain e-mails or through casual conversations.Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an e-mail or see something on the Web about anti-war protests that seem fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." Substitute the words "health insurance reform" for "anti-war protests," and you get the exact wording...

As so-called journalists negatively depict town hall meeting protesters as an organized angry mob (or worse!), they seem to forget how throughout most of this decade while George W. Bush was president dissent was quite encouraged. As an example, try to guess who said this in 2003? I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.

Dissent, it turns out, is no longer patriotic. President Barack Obama’s White House and his Democratic National Committee have unleashed an all-out assault on what they call “angry,” “manufactured” and “lobbyist-funded” lies about health care reform. Look closely and you realize that’s how they classify all dissent. Obama, when speaking at Notre Dame University last spring amid anti-abortion protests, said, “When we open up our hearts and our minds to those who may not think precisely like we do or believe precisely what we believe, that’s when we discover at least the possibility of common ground.” But his record of...

I just sent the following letter to the Whitehouse and President Obama as an email, and have also posted it on my site. Please, for the sake of liberty, for the sake of our Republic, and for the love of God, flood them with similar letters, by the millions. To the Whitehouse and President Barack Hussein Obama, Re: August 4, 2009 Whitehouse Statement stifling free speech and dissent Your statement on the Whitehouse web site today, August 4th, 2009, is an affront to every American and to our God-given rights to free speeh. To whit: "There is a lot of...

Facts Are Stubborn Things Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things." Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions. --- SNIP --- There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track...

The consigliere to the Clinton thugocracy decries the taxpayer counterinsurgency — and calls on left-wing hitmen to photograph and investigate Obamacare protesters to prove that they are being “paid” by the “Republican right” to express their opinions and demand accountability from their congressional representatives (never mind that so many of these protests have been aimed at Republicans who have betrayed their principles).

Libertarians call on Democrats to end their 'war on dissent'White House urges followers to report dissenters, Doggett claims LP organizing ‘mobs’ WASHINGTON -- Libertarian National Committee Communications Director Donny Ferguson released the following statement Wednesday, after Democratic National Committee Communications Director Brad Woodhouse released a statement Tuesday accusing private citizens opposed to proposed government takeover of health care of being part of a paid, organized conspiracy against the president: “Whether it’s having the Franking Commission censor congressional opponents’ outgoing mail, sliming private citizens who question their agenda or urging their followers to report critics directly to the White House, desperate...

On his TV show Glenn Beck railed against the hypocrisy of the left for attacking a poster depicting Barack Obama as the villainous Joker character from The Dark Knight Batman movie. The poster, by an anonymous artist, has popped up in Los Angeles and Atlanta. The word “socialism” appears under the president’s PhotoShopped face. Said Beck: “Don’t they know rule number five from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: ‘ridicule is man’s most potent weapon’? Interesting how mad they get when you use their rules against them, isn’t it?” The posters have some liberals furious, Beck said. For example, Steven Mikulan...

Austin Hill Sunday, July 19, 2009 President Barack Obama wants to control the internet. And if our President has his way, this website may soon be under legal attack from the White House. Since the internet’s emergence in the private sector (it actually began in the public sector, through developments at the U.S. Department of Defense back in the 1960’s), officials in our U.S. Government have generally viewed the internet as a good and necessary thing. In 1996, when former Sun Microsystems Officer John Gage began a movement to get high-tech companies involved in providing internet infrastructure for the world’s...

. In 1798, during the Quasi-war with France, Congress, with President John Adams’s support, passed the Sedition Act. Outraged by attacks on her husband, Abigail Adams supported the act, which was opposed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, among others. “Let us not establish a tyranny,” wrote an alarmed Alexander Hamilton to an ally in Congress. Indeed, the Sedition Act, an obvious violation of the First Amendment, made a permanent blot on Adams’s presidency. Here is part of its text: “If any person shall write, print, utter or publish, or shall cause or procure to be written, printed, uttered or...
