After Threats and Vandalism, Democrats Meet with Capitol Police
TheAtlantic ^ | 3/24/10 | Chris Good

After Democratic lawmakers were targeted by death threats and vandalism, House Democrats met with members of the Capitol Police today to discuss security concerns.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill, saying members had raised concerns and that Capitol Police told them to address any suspicious activity around the Capitol.

"Any member who feels themselves at risk is getting attention from the proper authorities," Hoyer said. At least 10 Democratic lawmakers have complained of threats or other security concerns.

Real threats are dealt with quietly and without fanfare. If one is in real fear for their situation, one doesn’t broadcast one’s precautions.

exactly! If I was truly afraid, the last thing I would do would be go in front of cameras. I think it's a taunt. They WANT something to happen.

ah so when is the fire.

they have already walked through protesters to get a response but because nothing happened they then made it up and now this.

they are not on the trip to make anyone who opposes this socialism feel embarrassed but they tried this last year and it never worked.

so again when is the fire and when will he declare martial law or the feds to start arresting folks in the middle of the night?

Prediction: before the November elections, there will an engineered incident of “domestic terrorism” linked to the Tea Party movement. The MSM will go along with the Federales’ narrative that the Tea Party has become a violently radical, racist right-wing movement and any anti-socialist political opposition will be completely marginalized.

We’re being set up. At this point, I don’t even have high hopes that much will change in Congress during the midterm elections, particularly if they ram alien amnesty through in time.

Was it anything like Ann Coulter experienced last night? How about Condoleeza Rice being confronted in the HOUSE CHAMBER?????.

Thought not.

So arrest the people who are threatening you.

It is propaganda. Real threats are dealt with quietly and without fanfare. If one is in real fear for their situation, one doesn’t broadcast one’s precautions.

Weren't we told of a 2009 "plot" cooked up by "racist meth addicts" to shoot the president? And then later (late last year) we were told of a similar Islamist plot that was halted by police action?

I don't doubt that there are threats. Rush Limbaugh says he gets death threats too but doesn't give them exposure.

The Pravda Media never reported on the death threats the President Boosh received, even in a media rich environment that fantasized movies and books about killing the president (named BY NAME).

Threats?

or Rights?

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government............

From an old thread with a booklet from 1939 about FDR and the New Deal. This is a “brief” excerpt.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2185147/posts

PROBLEM SIX THE DOMESTICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL

When New Dealers speak in one breath of a welfare economy and with the next breath bitterly denounce pressure groups it may seem that they involve themselves in an ironical dilemma. It is easy to say: “What would you expect, since you have made division of the national income a matter of political bargaining where before it had been always a matter of economic bargaining?”

Yet they are right, the New Dealers. In the welfare state pressure groups, representing willful political action, cannot be tolerated. They will have to be suppressed at last, because in the welfare state the government cannot really guarantee social security until it goes to the logical end, which is to ration the national income in time of peace just as all goods and satisfactions are rationed in time of war.

Bill Clinton successfully turned the OKC bombing into a re-election gimmick and a way to beat down his critics on talk radio (GG Liddy and others saw their radio programs dropped by many stations).

As Pelosi, etal. marched with sardonic grins through the constitutionally assembled group of Americans exercising their constitutional rights of free speech and association, she slowly 'got in their face' with hubris and vainity. It was remenescent of an overexuberant NFL player 'styling' just to lord it over them and taunt them.

Now having gotten in the face of conservatives and eliciting a response which they do not like, now they cry foul. They expect to charge these people by jamming a bill down their throat against the majority, then when they use speech, like children, they have become afraid of a backlash. Any backlash is a creation of the democrats...it is they who denied all of the signs which warned them away from doing this hideous thing. They have made a frontal assault on the futures of their children and grandchildren, which any thinking person knows is the same as the slave-traders of teh 18th century. No, they are not being placed aboard ships for transportation to another continent. They are on this continent and are going to be voting citizens in the future, but the requiremnt to pay for these programs is now set in stone. The dems will have to live with all of the fall out. They want to claim any good, but deny responsiblility for anticipated and unanticipated consequences.

The more they press down on the neck of the taxpayer, the more responses they will have wrought. It is a sad thing that it comes to this. What a crying shame.

they wanted a response and never got what they wanted so they made it up.
They had the media do their job for them and now they are on a roll with more lies.

thing is that I know of not pone person who is falling for their lies now, even Dems I know have had enough of them

It will be taken away any other “hopes” are just that...”hopes.” They are exactly on target for repeating history. We are all in very real trouble and thinking this can be stopped without a challenge is wishful thinking.

Their actions this past weekend were with malice against the United States of America. They knew what they were doing. They feign fear now, but they have been assured retention of their power.

We need to stop trying to figure out why they didn’t fear their constituents for over a year? The answer is there in front of our faces, but like good enablers we are choosing to be in denial.

“We must get to the November elections. We must remove any and all Progressives and progressive sympathizers from office. We cannot allow them to escalate the situational circumstances to eliminate elections in November. We must not allow for martial law to be declared. It is my humble opinion this is their goal. We go from being ignored, to being inconsequential, to being criminals. This has been on the table since the first DHS security memo issued April 2009.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2476741/posts

All their pieces are nearly in place. We have not played this game of chess very well and checkmate is just weeks away.
