These kulaks have guns. Come and get us, Red Guards!

They are going with a talking point in a time when polls say people favor spending cuts over Tax increases. This talking point is a continuation of the same line that failed in 2010.

To my knowledge, the kulaks were hardly wealthy. {or not?} They simply had a little more than the useful idiots who had nothing.

History teaches us that evil bastards know how to play “divide and conquer”.

Obamacare is the method for killing off the Tea Party Kulaks.

All they have to do is deny care to those identified as being in opposition to the regime.

If there’s one Democrat with a conscience, they will let a journalist know that there is an Enemies List that is tied to the Obamacare programs.

I like that analogy. I was thinking of the Jews in Nazi Germany, myself. Every political huckster needs an enemy.

The greatest crimes by far are those perpetrated by governments, under the guise of protecting the people.

“Kill the kulaks! They’re horders and wreckers!”

Everything old is new again.

[darkwing104]

Fair is Fair...Two can play that game

The Democrats are the Nazis calling for the extermination of Tea Party Jews

[EternalVigilance]

That’s funny. I made this historical reference in detail several times on FR in the past couple of weeks.

I guess it’s an obvious one.

Or, the writer reads FR. :-)

Well, kulaks vote and write checks that keep dumb $hxx polticians in office....

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Actually I think a better comparison can be made with government employees. Tea party members are political activists, not a social/occupational group. Like government employees today, kulaks were vilified simply on the basis of their occupation, not for their political activism. They lived their lives in good faith and were castigated for political purposes. I’m not saying that there aren’t abuses and waste in the public sector, or that all public sector workers are blameless, but the broad brush attacks on civil servants remind me of the outlandish charges leveled against the kulaks during the period of collectivism.

I wrote “Surviving Civil War II” to point out that we are already in a Civil War, just that our side hasn’t awakened to that fact yet. Besides the propaganda calling us terrorists, hobits, teabaggers (ugh!) etc., the left uses a proxy army of illegal aliens, criminals, union brownshirts and anarchists to intimidate us.

There’s a new youtube there I just posted.

The Jackasses are masters at namecalling, posturing and projection.

The best defense is to go through the arrogant behavior of the 111th congress and their particular version of "our way or the highway." I can hardly wait until the current House majority lock out the opposition party, literally, and rewrite a gutted bill all by themsleves. Remember that one?

Remember the Democratic idea of "compromise?" Let the opposition into the building and ridicule them as they passed bill after bill down the Citizen's throat. If a little socialist abuse is good, a lot of marxism is better.

Without exception, every name, every disparaging behavior real or metaphorical that they mindlessly employ describes their own behavior perfectly. Their jihad against the Constitution, against the rule of law and against ethical behavior will forever be discussed in the future, as a low point of the Republic, perhaps as bad or worse as the Civil War.

And the taxpayers are the new slaves.
