Ted Rall has a new book out titled The Anti-American Manifesto. In it he makes an explicit call for a violent socialist revolution from within. In case you think this is all a big joke, heres an excerpt from the book:
We are here because the U.S. is going to end soon. Theres going to be an intense, violent, probably haphazard struggle for control. Its going to come down to us versus them. The question is: What are you going to do about it?
Christian fundamentalists, the millennial end-of-theworlders obsessed with the Left Behind series about the End Times, neo-Nazi racists, rural black-helicopter Michigan Militia types cut from the same inbred cloth as Timothy McVeigh, allied with mainstream gun nuts and right-wing Republicans, have been planning, preparing, and praying for the destruction of the Godless, secular United States for decades. In the past, they formed groups like the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. Now the hard Right has a postmodern, decentralized non-organization organization called the Tea Party.
Right-wing organizational names change, but they amount to the same thing: the reactionary sociopolitical forcethe sole forcepoised to fill the vacuum when collapse occurs. The scenario outlined by Margaret Atwoods prescient novel The Handmaids Talerednecks in the trenches, hard military men running things, minorities and liberals taken away and massacred, setting the stage for an even more extreme form of laissez-faire corporate capitalism than were suffering under todayis a fair guess of how a post-U.S. scenario will play out unless we prepare to turn it in another direction
A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?
The millions of partisans who follow Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and right-wing televangelists happen to be the best-armed people around, and they despise just about everyone who doesnt think and pray like them. They will see collapse as affirmation of their beliefs that secular liberalism is destructive. They will also see it as an opportunity to create a new, ordered world atop the ashes. They will act to stop teenage sluts from getting abortions, teach niggers a lesson, and slaughter those spics, dots, and everyone else who doesnt fit into their vision of what and who is right
I want to kick people in the ass. To get them thinking. To get you thinking. I want you to understand the situationyour situation. I want you to see that revolt is a good idea, and that it has never been more necessary. I also want you to size up the opposition (both the government and 28 The Anti-American Manifesto the extreme right): They will never get weaker.We have as good a chance at taking them on as ever.
Thats a small sample of chapter one. Hes not kidding. He wants a war. He even uses al Qaeda sleeper cells as an example. And of course where would one go to promote a book about the violent tearing down of America? Heres Rall on MSNBC:
[HT: Director Blue for the video]
Ironically, it was only about a month ago that Sharon Angle was excoriated by several MSNBC talking heads for making a reference to 2nd amendment remedies. Is Chris Matthews going to call out Ted Rall and/or Dylan Ratigan for letting him promote this? Rachel Maddow wanted to know if Angles language was finally too extreme. Well is it still extreme when its coming from the far left over your own TV channel, Rachel? If so, maybe you should poke your head down the hall and say something.
Sorry Teddy, its been tried and it drove marxist scum back into the shadows when William Ayers tried it.
This time there will be no hiding till people forget.
The Rall and Ratigan types would have no chance if something like that occurred. Be careful what you wish for.....
Michael Moore’s Mini Me.
I do have to laugh that one liberal finally figured out that cultivating a personal conviction towards gun control within the Leftist community was probably a bad idea if, someday, you have to fight a war.
It is comical and pure fantasy on his part. First, liberals NEVER leave their comfort zone, which is usually only a few block radius. They only talk to people exactly like themselves so they have no idea who they are up against. Maybe they believe, which would make total sense actually, that they could mobilize the inner city thugs for their War. Would be typical as they would be having someone else do the work! However, what they fail to understand, is that they are overwhelmingly outgunned and as for knowing how to take care of yourself......well you know that is impossible!
Bring it on Ted, you will surely be entering the Lion’s Den. Out where I come from, we are vets, we are trained, we have pride, we are self-sufficient, we know right from wrong and I defy you to come out to my part of the country and just try it!!!!
Since I do stand for something, it will be a cold day in hell when you try to mess with my country, my family and my values. You pal, don’t have the fortitude to take us on!!
I can’t help but laugh at the idea of a liberal army trying to travel across the rural areas without the benefit of roads. Much of the country is virtually impassable by vehicle if you’re offroad.
The fact that we don’t have a McDonalds every couple of blocks isn’t real helpfull to them.
You are so right about libs never leaving their comfort zone.
A truly practical example (for me) was one afternoon when my husband and I were driving back to NYC with our favorite lib friends in the back seat. Due to a thunder storm, we took a wrong exit - and - you guessed it! ended up in a black inner city. Our lib friends sat up and began screaming “Where are we? We’ve gotta get out of here!” My husband calmly sheparded us through the area while our lib friends cringed and cried.
My husband and I still laugh about it.
Thanks Ted....I’m working on who will be in front of my sights and who will be behind my sights in the upcoming CW2. Making note that you will be out front.....
The other day I was on hold with ATT for what seemed like eternity...anyway, they had the same ads rolling over and over. They were trying to sell extra features like text and GPS...This is the loop that literally had me screaming into the phone, LOL!
“You HAVE to have that Caramel Latte or you will scream, you don’t know the nearest coffee shop, use your ATT GPS!
Not for nothing, but I have never had a Caramel Latte and I doubt they would be something I would scream over.
I did however scream into the phone....How about real life scenario..
You are driving down the road and you hit a deer and your truck ends up in a ditch. You can text your friend to bring his truck with a winch and he can use the GPS to find you!
Phoney white academic libs! Luckily, off the subject of politics and race, they’re nice people.
How many guns do the libtards have?
Oopsie.
Yes, it is quite funny how liberals just LOVE black people and minorities until they have to go near them, then they go immediately into panic mode.
The author is apparently irony-proof.
This is exactly what Glenn Beck has predicted. The moment is slipping away for the marxists and they will marginalize themselves through violence just like they did in the 60s and 70s.
We made the mistake of not using it to our advantage 40 years ago but we won’t make the same mistake this time.
