As we all know, the President of the United States just signed a sweeping health care overhaul bill. Despite the polling clearly showing the majority of the public did not favor this bill, the democratic majority passed the bill with a slide of hand. Tax payers who were both for and against the bill hit the streets letting their voices be heard. Regardless of the poll numbers, the bill passed, and the majority party drank champagne.
As we all heard today, politicians who voted for this bill were threatened with physical violence. Some of their offices were vandalized. Tensions are high in this country. This tension, this anger; this frustration is part of the plan. This feeling in the gut has been engineered in a great room, of some progressive puppet master probably one hundred years ago.
I’d like a metaphorical gentlemen’s handshake, and a cyber promise. The promise; let us unclench our fists, and self the pitchforks, and instead take a step back and organize. Let us promise to ourselves, we will not show up on youtube.com as the poster child for the radical right. Let us promise ourselves, we will not commit stupid petty mistakes, and deliver the proverbial fodder for those waiting with their cameras. Let us promise ourselves that we will fight every day to “change it back “, but wont get caught with the smoking lamp lit on night patrol.
Let us remember that there is a major media machine just waiting for a slip up from the right. And let us remember that any slip up they capture will be in opposition political ads leading up the crucial 2010 elections. Let us remember, we are the party of Ronald Reagan, Gentlemen and Ladies of class and respect.
The U.S. did not win its independence from a tyrannical power 235 years ago by saying “I object.”
It will take more than words this time also.
Agreed. We are long past the Mr. Nice guy, sit down and compromise, work within the broken system phase.
I’m not gonna lay down and watch my freedom go down the toilet either.
i totally agree, but look at the headlines today, its all about the threats Stupak is getting. Poor Stupak this, poor stupak that.
Agreed.
Heh. Indeed.
How gentlemanly. The Marquis of Queensbury would be incredibly proud.
NEWS FLASH: The media will INVENT the stuff you are talking about, even if nothing happens.
Just out of curiosity, do you have a limit regarding when you are willing to take the gloves off?
Clearly, you must be able to take a punch better than most of the rest of the country.
We’re not there YET!
But who knows what will happen to cause it.
The left has been trying to cause this since the 60’s.
Are you that easily hoodwinked? They’re throwing bricks through their own windows to smear the tea party movement to try to minimize the real threat to them in November. It’s the oldest trick in the book.
"Move along folks. Nothing to worry about here. Let's all be gentlemanly and all. Don't get your dander up. Everything will be okay..."
So... like, what’s the plan, dude? Any plan or do we just sit back and be meek and humble while they crush us? Any plan? Any ideas?

And if the Dems are not voted out in November, I fear/expect many will feel the time to protest more “actively” will have arrived.
did you see the Youtube video of the guy throwing the dollar bills at man who held the sign stating he had parkinsons? Do you want those ads running towards 2010. My gloves are off, but they are not off so i can be made an example of on every media outlet except fox and freerepublic.com
dude, your missing my point.

The dems keeping their seats in November, perhaps? There are a lot of people very close to the edge right now. Me? I bought the farm in Kentucky. There is an 80 mile buffer between my property and the urban centers. Those 80 miles are a buffer of people like me through which the unwashed urban hordes will have to pass to get to our property.
Do I think it will get that bad? No. Do I think it could? Yep.
BINGO! Start with the make believe racial slurs that allegedly occurred during the vote. Then, the threats of today. None of which happened. We need a plan. Then, we need to organize. Problem is, none of us bothered learning any of this kumbayah crap in the 1960s because we were all too busy being prosperous. Time to get caught up. Hell, if we can allegedly exploit the entire world, we aught to be able to trip up these twinkies...
