The American conservative movement has devolved into an all fear movement, hopping from one hot-button "fear this" specter to another with a propaganda machine that would make many a fear-monger of the past blush. Fear "death panels." Fear the Marxist in the closet. Fear "government." Fear the imagined civilian "security force" being built. Fear ACORN and SEIU, Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders. He sees ACORNs everywhere, and imagines Marxists in every closet. His favorite term for government advisers and department heads is "CZAR." and it's not an accident. He uses it to further fears that somehow, once again, the Commies are coming!
At the spear head of the right wing fear machine are the talk radio crowd. Too easily dismissed in the past, the real power of right wing radio is becoming more obvious. Literally tens of millions of "ditto heads" and the like tune in each and every day, sometimes for hours a day, to hear different versions of the latest talking points.
Sure, there are differences. Limbaugh is mostly a blowhard, Hannity mostly a bully-coward. And Glenn Beck is a quasi-messianic cuckoo. Still, if that was all, Beck could be dismissed and ignored, blowing in the wind to those who will listen. But there's more to it. He's pushing the envelope of sanity on those who might be dancing on a knife edge already.
What does it take for a person to move from disgruntled, angry, or disenchanted to a potential terrorist? They must feel victimized.(continued)

“And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
That’s what I’m talkin’ about.
The ‘townhallers’ did America a great service.
Stay the course.
Keep fighting them!
“Does anyone else discern a “Reichstag building” event being conceived?”
It’s already set in motion—it’s a done deal. It will happen at some point between October and March.
They couldn’t achieve our acquiescence the ‘nice’ way so there will certainly be some ‘event’ to twist our arms—guaranteed.
We MUST be ready to ‘react’ with a very loud and fierce HELL NO! They will use the ‘event’ to shove their agenda through the heart of the United States.
We must be ready to resist them.
Here's what I wrote at our Canadian sister site, in response to a whine from Peggy Noonan:
You are right!
Its tohose damn questions.....
Where do his allegiances lie? Who is Obama? There are many vids where he introduces his pastor,Jeremiah Wright, a man who introduced him to his christian faith 20 years ago. My guess is that he still retained his muslim beliefs from Indonesia.Thats why he still relates to Islam and secondly, his church gave a muslim, Loius Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award...

Basically, very unamerican. Actually Anti American.....
Who is obama.. I dunno. What is he doing is unconstitutional.
Either way, face it he already has his agenda deep into play
He has already set up his parallel government with what 42 czars who were hand picked and that report directly to him.... totally bypassing the senate. This treasonous conspiracy by the MARXISTS have nothing to do with the constitution which call for the peoples input. Unconstitutional!
And he took oath to uphold the constitution...
Soon you will see him create a crisis and bring out his own militia of Black Panthers with general Louis Farrakhan! No seriously though, he will shift power so he is no longer the president of the US but the totalitarian Ruler of the US. He may well retain the title pres
Change the government! Impeach the president!
Not only Glenn Beck sees this, but Sonja Schmidt...

Go ask REv. Manning about Obama!
Go to youtube and look up Larry Sinclair, press conference part 1
That term has been around long before Beck hit the airwaves, nitwit. And it is utterly true that Obama has created many high-level positions of considerable power that do NOT require Senate confirmation.
Had Bush done such, this same liberal weenie would be shrieking away. But when Obama does it, critics of such are to be ridiculed. Modern liberalism stinks like a dead carp on the riverbank.
Just to grab a quote,
“...And finally, they need feel that God is on their side. Once the potential terrorist is convinced that they are a holy warrior, the final piece is in place. When the potential terrorist thinks their instructions are coming from God, there you go.”
This is a perfect example of a progressive syllogism.
A. Major assumption
B. Minor assumption
C. There you go
Thank you Pinky
They'll usurp Thanksgiving Day with some something like the Reichstag Fire just like they usurped 9/11 with National Socialist Democrat Workers Day.
Christmas (which he boasts he does not celebrate) will of course be replaced by "the One's" National Socialist Victory Day, and these fools backing him don't even have a clue about what sort of demagogue he really is. I can't wait for the purge of the "progressive" rank and file. This Usurper in Chief egotistical and stupid he's already ticked off at his base for not overpowering the opposition to his health-care takeover that he'll probably set that in motion thinking he has an endless supply of dolts to do his bidding.
Really, this guy is seriously out of touch with reality and those who were so anxious to ascribe psychological ills to others before him don't even notice. More proof that the "progressives" from top to bottom are totally clueless and living in a dream world themselves. They're all believing a strong delusion as has happened so many times before to those about to suffer the wrath they deserve.

We on the other hand are ANGRY. And those on the left are justified in their fears.
Thank you. A succinct, correct assessment of the situation.
I would go a step further and say that a large part of those who voted for Obama are now feeling embarrassed, this is why making fun of them will have such a profound effect.
They need to know we are laughing at them.
Jefferson had a significant measure of wisdom.
Yet he was foolish about Scripture.
In our era, it will essentially end up . . .
NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD.
That doesn’t mean there is never a time or a place . . .
It does mean that the weapons of OUR warfare are not carnal but mighty to the bringing down of strongholds . . .
I could imagine defending my family or group gathered around me quite fiercely.
I could imagine not defending myself alone much at all.
Setting the stage is putting it mildly.
Utter chaos and mass death is being
SCHEDULED, ENGINEERED rom long term plans.
Texas and maybe Louisiana secede and the marxists issue orders to bring them back.
The US Military instead rounds up the marxists and puts them on a plane to Cuba.
Provisional military government for 6 months, then new elections for all congressional seats and the WH, incumbents need not apply.
Only tax paying citizens and veterans are enfranchised in the new Republic.
All amendments other than the original bill of rights are repealed.
"Dueling" legalized within the Washington DC limits.
Problem solved
Think you 2 should mosey on over there and leave a message like some of us did ;)
Jeff is not a journalist. He is an ad copy writer for the left in the fear, uncertainty and doubt dept. He is a groupthink mindguard and a liar by trade.
Jeff’s Bio:
I love to write...and I love to write about things I have a passion for. I am someone very concerned for the future of democracy, and that concern is reflected in my writings.
Concerned for the future of Democracy? You mean the Republic under open fasist/statist assult by Obama et. al.
Jeff you are a Fascist storm trooper. Fact.

Jeff reads like a girlieman with his knockers in a knot. Wonder if he's ever actually had a real job.

The really hilarious thing is that the present author, Jeff Musall, was one of them. He wrote a novel in 2006 called Heretics, US (Amazon sales rank #7,236,373, with 2 reviews, LOL!) about a Bush type president (fictionalized as "President Plant") taking over the world. From a review:
Heretics, US depicts a plausible, and in fact, a very palpable realism. In the novel, ordinary citizens, led by a proud former Navy SEAL, undertake an effort to uncover the maniacal intentions of an increasingly despotic government commanded by President Plant and a cabal of theocrats & elitist power brokers bent on world domination. Reality suggests that this scenario is playing out in real life, as Americans are being forced to accept the loss of liberties, and perpetual war, at the behest of the dynastic rule of the Bush administration and its neo-conservative ideological experiment, which capitalizes on religious fervor at its base. If things were to get much worse, is it not conceivable that principled military men who have raised warning flags in real life, such as General John Batiste, Lt. Ehren Watada and even Scott Ritter, could become leaders in some future armed revolution, side by side with , and religious thinkers such as Jim Wallis and Barry Lynn and ordinary concerned and angry citizens? It seems anything is possible these days.
So, Jeffy himself is guilty of EXACTLY the type of fear mongering, up to and including prediction of civil war, of which he accuses Beck!
The fact that Jeffy specializes in ficitonalized fear mongering, however, may explain why he doesn't dispute any of Beck's facts, or even engage Beck's analysis.
BTW, neither Jeffy, nor his book, even rank a wikipedia entry. Hypocrisy being driven by jealously?
