Great piece on Redstate. Just read it at the original site.
Yeah, I like this piece. It helped me sort out the issue a bit better.
I’ve been “defending” Obama’s speech while neglecting to voice my disapproval of the rally itself. It was disgusting, inappropriate and inexcusable. And it made Obama’s speech seem good by comparison.
Sick of the Marxists, Stalinists (I met one the other day), and every other flavor of liberal.
“Together We Thrive” was used “Workers of the World, Unite!” has already been used.
Yes, I am glad someone is debunking that farce. The sad part is: seems to me here is still a lot of people in America who are not getting it..I would not be surprised that guy gets re-elected.
Together we thrive, because, as everybody knows, it takes a village.
Its all about the communism with these scumbags. Its always about the communism.

Voila.
From Daily Kos on January 14, 2011:
Host a SOTU "Together We Thrive" PROGRESS PARTY! It's time to Network For Progress!
We need to put the "working" into NETroots!Join us in DC and/or reach your local Obama/OFA, Progressive, Democratic and other Cause or Civic-minded groups and activists to host a State of the Union Party on Tue 1/25 and future collaborations so we can re-build the coalition that has been neglected since November 2008. Although OFA has done lots of great work the Social, Social Media & Media outreach efforts we need to compete with the GOP's Fox News/Tea Party "Axis of Evil" have to be more coordinated for us to Mainstream HOPE over Fear in the public discourse.
If you would like to discuss ways we can strengthen our "Yes We Can" Movement in 2012 and beyond please email Jim...
Nah, "Together We Thrive" isn't political.
It’s always about control and oppression of their fellow humans.
Next up? “Together We Dive.”
We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.

“Together We Thrive”
U of A, Political Campaign, January, 2011
He has never made an attempt to hide his agenda. The fact he was elected to our nation’s highest office should have tripped any number of loud alarms.
ANY doubt I had about the contrived nature of this “thrive meme” was erased this morning when the half-hour news had a clip of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton saying that:
China needs America to THRIVE if it is to succeed and America needs China to THRIVE if it is to succeed. Check it out. To me this is proof of a coordinated strategy. Expose it please. I don’t know how to find or post the clip but I heard it.
does it seem like America is thriving with Obama in power?
“does it seem like America is thriving with Obama in power?”
No, the patient is losing ground.
Diagnosis: Failure to thrive.
There’s no need to defend the speech. It was pablum.
There has not been any sort of connection established between politics and the Tucson shooting. Therefore, references to it are non sequitur and inappropriate. Discussing the non-sequitur only gives credence to the lie. Leaders do not lie.
Yet, since he did choose to perpetuate the lie, it should be noted that a leader takes responsibility. A leader leads from the front and does not ask others to do that which he will not do himself. Had he been honest and said, “I have contributed to the trouble political discourse in this country and therefore the healing will begin with my own words”, that’s something I could have admired.
However, since I do not currently have a President, there is certainly nothing to admire in this man.
I hope you didn’t get the impression that I admire Obama. I want him out of office so bad I can taste it. I oppose practically everything he has done since I first heard about him during the Democratic National Convention when Kerry got the nod. The man is dangerous to this country.
I liked that he clearly stated that it was NOT a lack of civility that lead to the shooting. That rings with more honesty than anything else he has said.
He clearly called for people not to use the Tucson shooting as an excuse to turn on each other. I can’t argue with that.
I have no illusions that this was anything more than a political opportunity for him. I’m not naive, nor am I stupid. But the speech itself is not a problem or issue.
I was so focused on the speech, because of my own desire to dismiss it as more political crap, that I failed to focus on the rally itself. The rally was the real problem. The speech was just a small part of the equation.
It would be nice if Obama EVER took responsibility for ANYTHING. I have such low expectations that something like this strikes me as an improvement. How sad is that?
“Ive been defending Obamas speech while neglecting to voice my disapproval of the rally itself.”
Are you serious? All of TV is behind him including Fox supposedly loving his speech. The Media, Hollywood and TV are s**t. Until the public goes totally Galt and pulls the plug on this 24x7 propaganda then they are in total control. They are working to consilidate that control. Obama is gonna raise $1 billion for re-election.
I don’t disagree with you at all.
