These uneducated dolts don’t know that true democracy is mob rule such as they’re trying to force down the throats of the nation.

&&&
And if we have a true democracy, they are swept away, as the majority would then be in control; the majority of people do not support these communists.

I’ve read a lot of P.J. O’Rouke, but that’s the first time I heard that quote. Splendid and spot on!

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”...P.J. O’Rourke.

Now if a few Republicans would just get together and hire a bounty hunter to bring back a Democrat Senator, all would be well.

Violent extortionate unions can be prosecuted under The Hobbs Act-—Extortion By Force, Violence, or Fear-—Hobbs has also been used to nail crooked politicians.

REFERENCE In order to prove a violation of Hobbs Act extortion by the wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, the following questions must be answered affirmatively:

1. Did the defendant induce or attempt to induce the victim to give up property or property rights?

“Property” has been held to be “any valuable right considered as a source of wealth.” United States v. Tropiano, 418 F.2d 1069, 1075 (2d Cir. 1969) (the right to solicit garbage collection customers). “Property” includes the right of commercial victims to conduct their businesses. See United States v. Zemek, 634 F.3d 1159, 1174 (9th Cir. 1980) (the right to make business decisions and to solicit business free from wrongful coercion) and cited cases). It also includes the statutory right of union members to democratically participate in union affairs. See United States v. Debs, 949 F.2d 199, 201 (6th Cir. 1991) (the right to support candidates for union office); United States v. Teamsters Local 560, 550 F. Supp. 511, 513-14 (D.N.J. 1982), aff’d, 780 F.2d 267 (3rd Cir. 1985) (rights guaranteed union members by the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, 29 U.S.C. § 411).

2. Did the defendant use or attempt to use the victim’s reasonable fear of physical injury or economic harm in order to induce the victim’s consent to give up property?

A defendant need not create the fear of injury or harm which he exploits to induce the victim to give up property. See United States v. Duhon, 565 F.2d 345, 349 and 351 (5th Cir. 1978) (offer by employer to pay union official for labor peace held to be “simply planning for inevitable demand for money” by the union official under the circumstances); United States v. Gigante, 39 F.3d 42, 49 (2d Cir. 1994), vacated on other grounds and superseded in part on denial of reh’g, 94 F.3d 53 (2d Cir. 1996) (causing some businesses to refuse operations with the victim sufficiently induced the victim’s consent to give up property, consisting of a right to contract freely with other businesses, as long as there were other businesses beyond defendants’ control with whom the victim could do business).

Moreover, attempted extortion may include an attempt to instill fear in a federal agent conducting a covert investigation or a defendant “made of unusually stern stuff.” See United States v. Gambino, 566 F.2d 414, 419 (2d Cir. 1977) (argument that FBI agent pretending to be extortion victim could not be placed in fear is not a defense to attempted extortion of the agent); see also United States v. Ward, 914 F.2d 1340, 1347 (9th Cir. 1990) (an attempt to instill fear included a demand for money from a victim who knew that the defendant was only pretending to be a federal undercover agent when he threatened the victim with prosecution unless money was paid).—SNIP—

Coming to a community near you! I got this in my email today and I am in a small, rural community:
From Mitch Stewart, BarackObama.com

Friend —

The Summer Organizer Program is where the future of this movement is built.

Every year, hundreds of organizers learn the ropes and lay the groundwork that wins elections and creates change.

We asked for applications on Tuesday, and in just three days, we’ve already received more than ever before.

This enthusiasm gets me fired up, and it bodes well for all the work ahead of us — but only if we can capitalize on it.

So we want to expand our summer budget — and put more organizers in more communities. To do so, we’re counting on 2 donations from LITTLE RURAL COMMUNITY HERE before Sunday at midnight to help us go bigger.

Please donate $3 or more today to support Organizing for America and help us expand this year’s Summer Organizer Program.

Our summer organizers are volunteers, but this program’s budget makes sure they don’t have to worry about housing or having the resources they need while they’re working their tails off.

And it’s worth it — the investments we make in these organizers today pay off ten-fold down the road.

I’ve seen what these summer organizers go on to do. Some get hired to be full-time organizers for OFA. Others go on to lead organizations, putting the principles they learned to work in their hometowns.

Some even run for office themselves.

They are the next generation of progressive leaders in this country — and, for many, this is where their careers will begin.

This year, we want to expand our program. And that doesn’t just mean more organizing will be done this summer. It means there will be more people out there for years to come, ready to put their skills to use to support the President and his agenda and to make change a reality in their areas.

You don’t have to look far today to see how important it is to have trained organizers ready to spring into action on the local level.

That’s why OFA doesn’t just strive to develop good organizers — we train the best. Because we know what’s possible when we invest in people, and when we invest in one another.

Be one of 2 folks to chip in from Aberdeen before midnight Sunday and help expand the Summer Organizers Program.

Please donate $3 or more today:

Thanks for believing in organizing,

Mitch

First thing I saw this morning was that clip of the loons chanting “Shame” and “Cowards” and it made me laugh. They’re losing it (even worse than normal)and it’s gonna be great watching them explode. Kudos to the WI Governor for standing up and shouting WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH loud and clear. Hope this idea catches on like a wild fire.

I was playing the video for the first time and my wife yells from the next room "What are you listening to? That sounds horrible!"

She laughed when she saw who it was. They really are juveniles in adult bodies.
