What's behind the anti-Tea Party hate narrative?

You may be right, but then, we have a ace in the hole.

As long as Americans have the 2nd Amendment, the left knows that it cannot have what it wants without a fight.

[Noumenon]

Waco was psyops to terrorize us, they would love to have another one

They are perfectly capable of engineering a false flag op to get the ball rolling. Peoples lives mean nothing to these monsters. Those of us who survive the initial onslaught are going to have our work cut out for us.

Pray for military intervention - on the right side.

I'm going to give up hunting the MSNBC photo.

The holstered photo is indeed from Portsmouth.

And the Phoenix photo (with MSNBC picture) is here:

"This guy is a supporter of 0bama. The woman behind him in the purple shirt is from SEUI."

Maybe it's time to revive some of our old stuff, to remind people of just what they are dealing with when Little Big Fraud speaks:

DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON

-The Clinton Files--

-Hillary Clinton- archives, comments, and opposition research --

Liars-- and Sleaze, Incorporated... ( my files on the clintons and friends )

-Some old strange clinton "stuff"--

[MrB]

The idea would be to NOT get caught in your “compound”,
but to escape, find out who was after you,
and engage them on your own terms at a time of your choosing.

[Noumenon]

History is also full of events where those in power were overthrown by the people...

This is my hope. History also teaches us that one determined individual can alter the course of human events. I don't believe that I am that man, but I do have my own plan of action when that fateful Day arrives. Then we'll see...

We’re being set up for something, folks, and it won’t be pleasant.

I increasingly fear you're right. The drumbeat of propaganda is leading toward a natural denouement -- the equivalent of a Reichstag fire. Or, perhaps, the "assassination" of a minor Democrat functionary.

Clearly, there are people of the left who would be quite willing to execute either. And there are people in the White House quite capable of giving the order.

The fact that the Obama administration and the Democrat party leaders seem to have no apparent fear of electoral consequences makes me extremely suspicious.

The growing indications that the mortgage meltdown was manipulated for political gain heightens my suspicion. Any group which would intentionally destroy the nation's economy is fully capably of taking drastic steps to retain their power.

[Niteranger68]

They simply don't like it when we slaves start thinking for ourselves.

[Noumenon]

It’s worth noting that, given the nature of the those behind 0bama (Soros, et al), they won’t hesitate to sacrifice him and his family the red-hot minute his utility as a martyr exceeds his value as their Sock Puppet-in-Chief. As I’ve said, these people are monsters with absolutely no regard for human life, freedom and dignity. Monsters, all of them.

[keats5]

I agree with much of what you wrote with one exception. They are not “irrational.”

They are behaving quite logically. They want power and will resort to any means to get it.

If i’m not hated by at least half the people I take a good look around and see what i’m doing wrong!

They should also ask Bill Clinton where his words of caution were when Bush was being excoriated and when Palin was being hung in effigy ETC.

Understanding Poverty in America: What the Census Bureau Doesn’t CountPublished on September 11, 2009 by Robert Rector

http://www.heritage.org/Research/Commentary/2009/09/Understanding-Poverty-in-America-What-the-Census-Bureau-doesnt-count

The average person identified as “poor” by the government has a living standard far higher than the public imagines. According to the government’s own surveys, the typical “poor” American has cable or satellite TV, two color TVs, and a DVD player or VCR. He has air conditioning, a car, a microwave, a refrig­erator, a stove, and a clothes washer and dryer. He is able to obtain medical care when needed. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry, and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs. While this individual’s life is not affluent, it is far from the images of dire poverty conveyed by liberal activists and politicians.

Various government reports contain the following facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau:

Nearly 40 percent of all poor households actu­ally own their own homes. On average, this is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
Eighty-four percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
Nearly two-thirds of the poor have cable or satellite TV.
Only 6 percent of poor households are over­crowded; two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
The typical poor American has as much or more living space than the average individual living in most European countries. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
Ninety-eight percent of poor households have a color television; two-thirds own two or more color televisions.
Eighty-two percent own microwave ovens; 67 percent have a DVD player; 73 percent have a VCR; 47 percent have a computer.
The average intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals by poor children is indistinguishable from that of children in the upper middle class. Poor boys today at ages 18 and 19 are actually taller and heavier than middle-class boys of similar age were in the late 1950s. They are a full inch taller and ten pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy during World War II.

Thanks for the links.

[alarm rider]

In my heart, I do not believe that it will ever come to that in my country. I will continue to believe that we will speak from the ballot box, first.

Half the world lives on less than $2/day.
If you’re making more than $2/day, you’re not poor.
The US “poverty line” is 20x that.

yes, forget about reasoning with them
