“I swear, I’m gonna get banned today if this keeps up.”

Well, I’m gonna get fired b/c I’m a teacher and trying really hard to refrain from saying ugly things in front of the kiddos....

I teach the truth (Govt, history, etc...), but I try to avoid name calling, etc...I just try to give the facts...but earlier I called Joe Biden an idiot in front of my 8th grade class....ooops....

It’s a private school.....so that will cause no problems, but, it just shows all this is making me begin to lose my self control..... *sigh*

I think Savage hit on something yesterday — right now you have a whole whitehouse full of revolutionaries, from relatively mild mannered social democrats, to trotskyites, leninites, mao worshippers, right on up to the hard core stalinites. There is no telling at this point which faction is going to come out on top, but frankly I wouldn’t bet against the mao-bites and the stalinists.

Glenn spent a good deal of time refuting the comparison with father Coughlin (which I learned is pronounced Cog-lin). First of all he doesn’t hate Jews, and he isn’t for redistributing the wealth.

I posted on a facebook page that liberals are those who know themselves to be below average and want to spread the wealth around so they can be raised to average. Several second cousins immediately posted “So, where did you get the dictionary? From Beck or Limbaugh?”

I posted back “I made it up. I’m not a liberal so I don’t have to have others do my thinking for me”. Then they really went on the attack accusing me of attacking them.

There are a lot of communists in my family.

I’ve asked several family members who’ve accused Beck of being wrong “What did he say that’s incorrect? Still waiting on an answer.

Stuff like facts are irrelevant. Liberals have deemed him to be of independent thought, therefore he is dangerous. That’s all we need to know.

Yes, I think that is so: anything that advances the long-term goal is satisfactory, especially after they saw how patiently Mao himself marched through the institutions (people forget he started his process in the early ‘20s). The malevolence is appalling and the determination is, well, frightening. And the thing is, under our polity, it will be the one who is seen to throw the first punch who will be penalized. So long as they don’t openly assault someone, they can keep inching the goal posts further left until there’s no field left.

I guess one consideration is how to get them to lose patience and make a game-changing mistake. If they can be induced to throw the first punch, we may be able to strike back fast, before any ‘referee’ can interfere. We certainly won’t get away with trying to topple them. Either we can stall and then vote them out, which is preferable, or we have to goad them into error so we can morally fight back.

You see another alternative, maybe?

I have relatives...blood, and not blood, that will tell you straight up..they think of themselves as Marxists.

Needless to say...I don't even bother yanking the cup of Kool-Aid out of their hands. It's worthless........

Steve's answer: People without insurance flood hospital emergency rooms and push up medical bills for everyone. So it would be in the "national interest" to expand insurance and hold down costs.

As a matter of fact, the exact opposite is true according to a recent study done in Massachusetts. Roberts is an idiot.

Well, history is our guide: the most radical are the least prepared to lose, with the least to lose, so they are willing to stake it all on a throw no one else will dare to try. So ultimately, they win. The key of course, is that actual powers sit by and fail to support the moderates (if there actually are any such in the O WH worth cultivating). The maniacs will generally overcome the sensible ones, given time, so I expect the Maoists’ and Stalinists’ main problem will be figuring out if they can trust each other enough to share power.

Of course, if the sides could somehow be induced to turn on each other. Isn’t that worth a moment’s thought?

The liberal media somehow manages to shout about its right to speak freely while demanding others be silenced

Political Correctness was designed to silence anyone from speaking out against the left wing agenda. It only protects those who are part of a left wing voting block.

Therefore, it's best to ignore the Political Correctness propaganda. It doesn't do anything for the normal American majority.

It's best to speak up loud and often - especially now that our country is under attack by it's own government.

"Glenn spent a good deal of time refuting the comparison with father Coughlin"

I realize that there is no comparison between Beck and Coughlin. However, whenever any conservative leader/speaker is getting too big the left always wants to compare them to Father Coughlin. That's why I put the part in my post about Coughlin loving fascists. In reality, it is the left that compares favorably with Coughlin. As you mentioned, he was for re-distributing the wealth. Unfortunately the left have too many people in this country bamboozled into believing that Fascism = Conservatism...

Arguing with liberals is like clapping with one hand.

And those days have come fast and furious recently.

I left nursing when HMO’s came along...if I were still working in a hospital I think I’d just stroke out.

I saw Cokie Roberts back in 1994 when she was giving a commencement speech at Boston College.

One one of the worst speeches I ever had to sit through. And I have sat through Ted Kennedy and John Kerry speeches.
