Yeah. The same party that went to war against their own country upon the election of the first Republican and then when they lost enacted Jim Crow laws, who then ran all Republicans out of the South, and consigned a whole race of people for 100 years to dhimmi status, who then blamed all racial tensions on Republicans, who subsequently sided with bolshevik mass murderers of every stripe, and who now find solidarity with terrorists, so much so that we can no longer use the word
“terrorist”, lest we offend, now call us terrorists, all the while lecturing us about civility. Which really means shutup while I beat the crap out of you.

Excuse me if I’m not impressed with the Democrat party.

Great article!

Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as we know it on this planet,” says Nancy Pelosi. They are betraying the Founders, too. Chris Matthews all but signs up for the “Make an Ass of Yourself” contest at the State Fair. Joe Nocera writes today that “the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests.” Lord knows what Krugman and Olbermann have said.

Then last night, on the very day Gabby Giffords heroically returns to cast her first vote since that tragic attack seven months ago, the vice president of the United States calls the Republican party a bunch of terrorists.

And on MSNBC, after the hosts there dissing American Exceptionalism for months, Matthews has a commercial for Hardball where he is standing on a hill overlooking the white house and tingle-legging about Obama, ending with American Exceptionalism. Then pointing to where Obama is, the White House.

Fight is still worth fighting

Yes, it is. Particularly so given the nature of our opponents - and their plans for us. And here's why:

“The state system which exists in our country is terrible not because it is undemocratic, authoritarian, based only on physical constraint - a man can live in such conditions without harm to his spiritual essence.”

“Our present system is unique in world history, because above and above its physical and economic constraints, it demands of us total surrender of our souls, continuous and active participation in the general, conscious lie. To this putrefaction of the soul, this spiritual enslavement, human beings who wish to be human cannot consent.

When Caesar, having exacted what is Caesar's, demands still more insistently that we render unto him what is God's - that is a sacrifice we dare not make!”

The most important part of our freedom, inner freedom, is always subject to our will. If we surrender it to corruption, we do not deserve to be called human.
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, from the essay "As Breathing and Consciousness Return" - October, 1973

That's what's at stake. Here. Now. Today.

Be prepared for war.

Yes, well given some of Ann’s @ssinine comments lately, sounds like Jonah may have been justified.

Perhaps Jonah, who popularized the term “Liberal Fascists”, is coming to understand that the “liberal” part of that formulation is but a mask that is being increasingly discarded.

Jonah has been wagging his email fingers at me for this exact take for a decade now.

When NR had a chance to make a difference...it chickened out.

Too late now...it was too late when Obamacare passed.

We can all readily agree with Jonah Goldberg on this one. The only good news is that the MSM have completely abandoned even the slightest pretense of objectivity making their blatant bias harder to ignore by those who still want to pretend the national news outlets are anything more than a PR arm of the Democrat party’s liberal wing. In short, the MSM are fast losing credibility. Unfortunately, not fast enough,. They still have some power to persuade the gullible and naive - and they do. Exhibit A: President Barack Hussein Obama.

This country is finished, and it is abundantly clear that only a few in The Government (capitals intentional, because it obviously isn’t “our government” any longer) want to do anything about it.

I am actually beginning to welcome the reset button that collapse will bring. There is so much deep-seated corruption, so much lying, so much gutlessness and stupidity and backstabbing and chickenheartedness at so many levels of society and government that only a cleansing fireball of destruction will turn things around. The sentiment espoused by Col. Frank Slade that “Somebody needs to take A FLAMETHROWER TO THIS PLACE!” has never held more truth than it does right now.

I’m done fighting City Hall. I’ll put my time in on republican primaries to try and cleanse some of the dog$h!t from our own party, but I wil never donate to nor cast a vote for any Socialism Lite candidate ever again. The GOP can FOAD.

If the TEA party movement ever decided to stop trying to change the disastrous course this nation is on by any other than peaceful means, there would be no doubt, and no need for the MSM to cobble together a bunch of knee jerk crap to tell anyone.

Instead, the people who hang them from lightposts will likely be those whose acts of violence are increasing and ignored by the selfsame journolists who try to blame us.

Jonah Goldberg fired Ann Coulter from NRO. I never forgave him.

I remember when some lame news anchor was interviewing Ann and commented about her having been "fired", she berated him for not understanding the difference between an employee and a syndicated columnist. As a syndicated columnist whose column was dropped, she did not draw a paycheck from Jonah.

I don’t understand why he tortures himself watching the MSM. If you do you just get angry. There are intelligent Lib sources out there you can read if you want a smart, non-propaganda Lib point of view. Or you can watch the MSM to analyze how they report news like Media Research Center does. If you do that, you know you will be encountering bias so it doesn’t upset you. No conservative should watch any MSM with any expectation that what they present is fair. Expect that it is all 100% agenda driven.

Here’s one of mine that you’ll like:

“People need to wake up and smell the killing fields that inhabit the imaginations of the current occupants of the White House.”
