Although it was clumsily done, this is no fluke.
The meme that we’re going through an unprecedented crisis because the Republicans are putting their party ahead of their country and are obstructing the success of Obama’s plans for a modern industrial nation is the main theme of Obama’s recent campaign appearances and his address to Congress (but I repeat myself).
Thomas Friedman of the NY Times, and to a lesser extent Paul Krugman, have both been pushing the idea that our representative government is getting in the way of the nation’s path to prosperity, interfering with the ability of serious leaders to solve serious problems. Their fawning admiration of dictatorship and one-party rule in China fits right in with Obama’s and Perdue’s goals.
The usual suspects are chiming in with their support, further emboldening their brash plans.
This is not an accident, rather these messages are coordinated, in the same way that nearly all Democratic talking points are coordinated. They can count on violent support from union thugs and anarchists alike.
The Commies clearly see that the 2012 elections pose a big obstacle to their collectivist dreams. The loss of Weiner’s seat has made them frantic. Are they really going to continue down that path? Do they really believe that they are going to get away with it?
