Many reasons have been offered why the Obama and the Left hate Sarah so much. If you go for the superficial, knee-jerk reaction, you would think it would revolve around the abortion issue, her religious beliefs or her strong conservative positions.
But this thread has got me thinking. Obama and his Marxist buddies are not superficial, are rational in an ideological sense and are focused on creating a permanent autocratic Presidency. To accomplish they must find a way to disarm Americans. It is one thing to pass legislation and to invite protests and dissent but it is another thing for millions of American gun owners able to mount a counter-revolution.
Ayres said it perfectly. A revolutionary government has to be prepared to purge 25m recalcitrant Americans and the only way that can be accomplished is if somehow the government can convince or force its citizens to hand over their guns.
Sarah is primarily hated by the rational Marxists, quite simply, because she is a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment and is so passionate on the issue that she would be able to sway millions of votes to her side on that one issue alone and would never agree to Americans rendering themselves defenseless to the power of the government.
Although our modern socialists’ promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under “communism” and “fascism.” As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939, “the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of un-freedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.”
No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.
Excellent. America is about to declare itself bankrupt (well, not really, just print a ton of money). It's the one 'bubble' that has been spared popping for so long. Tech bubble, housing bubble, now, Fed bubble. It had to happen sooner or later.
Bankrupt states will soon be sending Washington IOUs. Better to march on your state capitol to preserve the 2nd ammendment, as your FedGov will be shrinking in influence due to serious revenue shortfalls and unfundedness issues.
Couldn't have happened at a better time: Socialist Boy becomes president, the states withhold payments, the Fed Bubble Pops and we're back to square one- that damn constitution.
March all you want, the freemarket is about to make a correction in government the likes of which we've never seen. My only hope is the tax cheats Obama has appointed to cabinet level have some sense of protecting this country from foreign enemies.
Toothless and underfunded is the best way to keep any government. Let the people decide for themselves how they wish to live and under what contracts they wish to abide.
