When Democratic politicians act out (get violently in your face), they're signaling to the unions, the U.S. population and world at large, that it is okay to be violent to get what you want.

And we've seen which side the MSM takes, either in spreading a false story or hyping a story, while burying anything that will hurt the party they favor -- the Democratic Party. The MSM is joined at the hip with the Left and they will make Republicans look evil. The MSM will tell middle America and the poor that evil, selfish Republicans cling selfishly to what they have and don't care about their misery or their problems (but that the Left does, the unions do -- that socialism is the way -- that the rich must equally share).

We're reading and hearing about increased "mob" behavior and violence in everyday places -- places Americans never gave a moment's worry about being safe before. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told the country that people in the U.S. who did not belong to "a historically oppressed group," that they should not expect protection from this administration.

The Left is priming the pump. As the title of this piece says, they have unveiled their weapon of the future.

The future is here.

If we don't speak up now we will be drowned out and overrun

We can not duck this any longer.

Thanks Cincinatus' Wife.
...has been occurring in Wisconsin over the past few months: a nearly open civil war instigated by the left in order to test an array of new tactics.
Gotta love how the leftists are equated with the Nazis and Fascists.

The Democrats are fighting so dirty abecause the evisceration of the unions will cost them huge amounts of money. It’s no exaggeration to say it will bleed them white.

I say we ought to go after the second leg of their three-legged stool too, and bring in tort reform that will put 80% of lawyers right out of business. We can finish them off for a generation at least, if we continue to fight just as viciously as they do.

The most important lesson learned in Spain, like Wisconsin, is that Communist revolutions are not inevitable and irreversible. Prior to Franco's rebellion every time the Communists made a grab for power they had succeeded. Marx had preached the inevitability of the workers victory and that premise went a long way towards demoralizing their foes.

In Spain, for the first time, a communist revolution was put down, and rolled back. One of the great attractions of Fascism in the 1930s was that they could prove that they were capable of stopping the communists. A claim that no democracy at the time could match.

Of course the Fascist victory in Spain had little to do with their twisted ideology. It had everything to do with the fact they were willing to fight tooth and nail against the communists. To use their own tactics against them. And most importantly to fight by the communists rules, or throw the rule book out the window if necessary.

This is the lesson we learned in Wisconsin. Fight them toe to toe and you can win. Concede even and inch and they will keep taking more and more. Saul Alinski's tactics work both ways and can be used against the progressives. As much noise as the Progressives have made in Wisconsin, they have thus far lost. And that is the key. The public unions are no longer viewed as the inevitable winners. After Wisconsin other states started to cut their outrageous benefits and astronomical pay rates.

Excellent analysis and article by whom Frank Rich described as a “right wing screed”. If that elitist leftie queer thinks poorly of you, it’s a true compliment.

I would venture a guess some of the “leaders” of this leftist revolt got their start on the University campus at Madison, and other places, 45 years ago.

From the article:

...."What all this amounts to is the baptism of fire of what I have taken to calling the "liberal superstructure." This superstructure is the vast constellation of advocacy groups, think tanks, single-issue outfits, unions, and various other flotsam constructed by the left over the past half-century or so. There are literally thousands of these groups, ranging from the ACLU and the Sierra Club with their hundreds of thousands of members to the local "Friends of the People's Venezuela" outfit which amounts to a retired feminism professor and her six cats. These organizations are ubiquitous, universal, and networked to a fare-thee- well. They are also liberalism's last great hope of controlling politics in the United States.

It's scarcely arguable that, in the political sense, liberalism is on the ropes. Obama spent their last nickel. They have lost the House and will lose the Senate, with little chance of regaining them in the near future. The same is true of the White House once the messiah gets the bum's rush come 2012. Liberalism is on the skids, its programs uniform failures, its ideology barren, its slogans worn out, its long hold on the independents being relentlessly pared down by the Tea Parties.

So what is a political movement to do, particularly one as fanatic and apocalyptic as this one? Well, if you have an alternate system made up of outside organizations not subject to governmental oversight, a system populated with self-selected fanatics and true believers, a system poised and ready to march, you can do what was done in Wisconsin. You can turn the superstructure loose to threaten the public peace, smash things up, abuse the electoral process, create a media spectacle, and pressure the state to do things your way. You can use nonpolitical organizations (in the electoral sense) to get a political result....."

*************************

Each Line on this list has LINKS to more LINKS and more groups: Lists of Lists of Lists of the Superstructure of the Left ready to join up And there are many more radical groups and organizations not listed, add to that the many groups who will fold like a cheap suit in the face of so many.

Take the T out of TSA, and you will see the historical context.

The SA was effectively eliminated during the “night of the long knives”.

Foreward By Newt Gingrich – August 2010

"I wish this book had never needed to be written.

It almost came too late.

America is recklessly accelerating toward economic disaster. Fed Up! may be the last warning sign to the danger that lies ahead.

Rick Perry, Texas governor for the past decade, is uniquely qualified to offer a firsthand perspective on why the United States—the most successful civilization in human history—is being threatened with economic collapse......." Source

The coming civil war will be between those pigging put in the public trough, and those of us who labor to fill it. The trough is empty because the pigs got greedy, and now expect us to labor harder to refill it.

The only point where I disagree with the author is that Soros wasted his money on Obama.

While Obama is a failure from a leadership perspective.....he could have gotten a lot more accomplished while the Dems had the fillibuster-proof margins......Obama is a tool to be used to stir up the unaligned mobs in our inner cities.

Once the nominees are chosen, expect these mobs to turn our cities to ashes as they rebel against the “racist” nation that wants to fire the first black president.

They will claim, as always, that we have always been a racist nation, that the founders were racists and that the Constitution is a racist document that must be eliminated.

Next year will be a defining moment in US history.

“...and Stalin backing the “Republicans” (actually a motley gaggle of various left-wing elements).”

And Hemingway and Hollywood romanticizing the commies every step of the way.

What the democrats will try to bring down on us will make the Spanish Civil War and Nazi atrocities seem like an evening in a knitting circle.

The article: “It failed to overawe the Wisconsin state senate. It failed to halt Gov. Walker’s bill. It failed to vote Justice Prosser out of office, and it has now failed to enmesh him in a faked criminal incident.”

Thomas Edison: “I didn’t fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn’t work.”

Horror movie lesson: Make sure the monster’s dead before you decide the struggle is finished.
