The Obama faction's drive to consolidate totalitarian, national, socialist control of key sectors of American life is stirring up some strong negative feelings in many Americans. The self-righteous, 'How-dare-you-question-me' tone in which many Obama faction pols have lashed out at critics has aggravated their resentment. So have the bully-boy tactics intended to discourage people from attending public meetings to voice their concerns.
If the Obama faction’s strategists thought these tactics would make Americans whimper and scurry back to their hidey-holes, they were sadly mistaken. Americans can be ferrets when it comes to truth, but some are more like mountain lions when roused to battle by tyrannical bullies. In the landscape of twentieth century history, pillars of smoke rising from the ruins of their would-be empires mark the burned out pyres of tyrant –isms and self-worshiping individuals who made the same mistake.
This history is so well known though, that I find it hard to believe the Obama strategists failed to take account of it. On the contrary, the deployment of SEIU blue-shirts and tax-funded ACORN rent-a-crowds is intended to provoke a John Wayne reaction. The ensuing brawl becomes their excuse to abuse the color of law in order to move against and criminalize their opposition. In their so-called ‘hate-crimes’ legislation they have already successfully positioned the logic of repression that will allow them to argue that any criticism of their actions or policies is part of a syndrome of violence that makes dissident speech as criminal as the actions they will claim it inspires.
The Obama Faction’s media claque is already preparing the way for this overt repression in their coverage of events. There are legitimate concerns about the implications of armed civilians in the vicinity of events involving the present occupant of the White House. But some reports have used blatant race baiting tactics, doubtless intended to stir up fear and anger among Black Americans. During a segment on MSNBC one anchor wondered “whether this has a racial overtone. I mean here you have a man of color in the Presidency and white people showing up with guns…” Now, as seen in the following video clip, the man who was the focus of the episode being discussed happened to be “a man of color” firmly opposed to the Obama faction’s proposed national socialist takeover of health care...

Saul Alinsky wrote that it’s easy to demonize an individual, but difficult to do so with a group or institution. The grass-roots Americans who have shown up for these meetings are doing so on their own volition, not at the instructions of a leader. This is why all of the tactics used against opponents of Obama-care haven’t worked.
I love how he uses the phrase “Obama faction.”
Again Alan Keys is right on.
Good read!
Hoo-boy!
Journalists just have no respect for Federal Secret Service agents, do they?
Someone should tell them to go get a education, get a job and participate in society as a member instead of being rob-roys. Let them too learn how to scrimp, save, manage and accumulate!
Then they’ll be the first to bitch about the Govt takin their shit!
I went there I was amazed at the Ad: Advertizing how to get out of child support.
I tried to get a screen shot but don’t know how to post it.
Alan Keyes should be in the White House.
Nothing but thief mentality there.
That is very good advice. I think the left has been trying to provoke a violent reaction from the right for years but have been unsuccessful. The time is ripe now. Don't fall for it. It's OK to express your anger but keep your rage in check. If you're going to a town hall meeting to speak out publically consider your words well.
Now, since Dr. Keyes brought up the liberty aspect of things here are my thoughts on that.
Excellent.
Gun rights protestor was black and I think a plant. His responses were too canned.
Yep, he’s been reading my posts here, obviously... :)
I have been saying for a long time that this admin is intent on provoking the right to take some action that will justify the use of state authority and force to punish their ideological opponents.
But I guess that’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention.

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.
It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.
Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.
Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.
TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

Second Bill of Rights aka FDR's economic bill of rights (An early attempt to embed collective rights into American politics and society.)
It’s necessary to work through our state legislatures.
They must declare sovereignty, then step it up as the
fedgov refuses to acknowledge that sovereignty.
Eventually, the fed will have to blink or send in armed
agents to enforce its will. THAT is the time for the second amendment to kick in.
That site should be called “Marching To Zimbabwe”. They want to kill off the white man after which they will all live in poverty and squalor because they don’t have brains enough to sweep the floor properly, let alone run a country.
