Tea Party ‘terrorists’? The ruling class comes unglued (& leftists become dangerous)

Tea Party ‘terrorists’? The ruling class comes unglued
Jeffrey T. Kuhner

**SNIP**

Leftist expediency now requires that the most heinous, reckless and degrading comments be used. Tea Partyers are not simply being slandered, they are being dehumanized. Ironically, it is liberals who are paving the way for potential political violence. Terrorists, hostage-takers, suicide bombers, neo-Nazis, the Christian Taliban — all of the epithets regularly thrown at Tea Party members by rabid progressives — eventually foster one overriding emotion: hatred. It is not much of a leap for some deranged Democratic activist to conclude that the only way to defeat the phantom specter of marching right-wing jihadists is to slaughter them. The Black Panthers, the Weathermen, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Unabomber — the U.S. radical left has been littered with violent movements marked by the irrational loathing of a menacing Middle America.

Yet the recent attacks on Tea Partyers are more than dangerous and hypocritical. They represent the gradual dissolution of America’s social compact. We are no longer one nation, but two – liberal and conservative. Blue state versus red state; left versus right; progressivism versus traditionalism. The country is splintering along ideological lines. In some ways, it was inevitable. The 1960s unleashed powerful forces — militant feminism, anti-Americanism, pacifism and the sexual revolution. Radical leftists have ruthlessly pursued their goal to erect a multicultural social democracy. Having slowly taken over the commanding heights of popular culture, the universities, public schools, the courts, the establishment media and the mammoth federal bureaucracies and government agencies, they are on the cusp of achieving their national transformation. The Obama presidency is the culmination of the 1960s left’s long march to power.

This is why Tea Party activists are so reviled by liberal Democrats: They are traditional America’s last line of defense.

I'm under no illusion that the so-called "mainstream" media are suddenly going to decide to be fair to Conservatives and Tea Party members. If anything, they are going to get worse.

But increasingly, people don't depend on them for hard news any more, and the information they find on their own is ever more at odds with what they see on the Obama News Network or hear on Ruling Class Radio. FOX News helps (a little), as do Internet blogs and subscription sites, but it doesn't hurt the State-run media quite enough.

The Left has declared war on America and violence is their ultimate intention. This campaign will bring havoc and will not end well. The power of their hatred simply to destroy cannot be over-estimated.

Welcome to Texas! We were a Republic once and can do it again if necessary.

When you get down here, be sure to make note of an unusual phenomenon. (It may not be so evident in urban areas as it is out here in the country.) That is the fact that people use Texas motifs to decorate their property. You will see many, many Texas Lone Stars on houses, usually on the front wall by the door. (They can be either in or on a circle with the phrase “State of Texas” or “Texas,” as in the state seal, or without the circle. My own Lone Star is 3 feet in diameter with “Texas” on the top of the circle and “1836” on the bottom. It is hanging prominently on the side of the house and can be seen as visitors approach.) You will also see the Texas State Flag (decorating mailboxes, painted on metal roofs, etc.) as well as the state itself (the geographical representation).

On a recent road trip from Northeast Texas to Galveston down US 59, Mr. Claret and I lost track of how many of these examples we noticed. They were everywhere. We also noticed many people flying the Texas flag only. In my opinion, it is a silent message that people identify themselves as Texans first and foremost and that it is very important to them. After all, when was the last time anyone saw a mailbox decorated with the Massachusetts state flag or the New Jersey state seal as wall art? LOL!

I’m looking forward to the Philadelphia asshats that show up with a stick. I’ll bet they will be a no-show.

I do believe if Osama gets re-elected we will see a Reichstag moment. And All hell is going to hit the fan. Who’s going to be on who’s side. Will neighbor give up neighbor? It is going to be a bloody and very different war. Will Police fire on patriots will the military kill civilians and follow orders?These things are what millions of us are thinking and wondering? If it happens it will be a total societal break down. The inner cities will be coming to the burbs for their share. The burbs will be heavily armed and ready. I fear for our republic at this stage. One mans radical is another mans patriot. And that is where we stand. I am not a radical I am a traditional Patriot. Taxation without representation, they take our money and have no accountability of where it goes? I say if FUBO wins we are in the deepest doodoo in American History. WW2 will be a minor thing compared to what will happen in this country if he is Re-elected. Keep your pecka hard and your powder dry.

Hitler and his Henchman did a pretty good job. I have been saying all along this reminds me of Germany in the Early thirties. Demonize your target and keep it up till every one agrees. This time though. Us 34 million gun owners will never go quietly into the night. And I will stand side by side with anyone who is a patriot.

RE: Give the kids a chance.

?

I remember the 1960s New Left and before that -- the 1940s and 1950s com-symps and pinkos. I often post comments about "the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky radicals (spoiled brats) and their ideological issue" who BTW include 40- and 50-year-olds now.

I do not see how my comment can be taken as speaking of all -- or even the majority of -- youths of any generation.

It will never happen. Obama has pushed the reset on our debt and thought that it would satisfy the world. The world just let him know he can’t do anymore. It’s time for the boy king to understand he isn’t in charge.

Why do so many here look to Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or any foreign sources to compare the bullying of the Tea Party movement?

It was right here in the U.S. of A. during the F.D. Roosevelt administration.

O. John Rogge a Communist and New York lawyer was appointed assistant Attorney General of the United States by FDR to prosecute critics of his Administration. This was a kind of culmination of bullying that started in the 1930s.

With the help of Washington Post employees the DoJ was able to build a case and force the accused to come to Washington, D.C. for trial from as far away as California.

Bundists some of whom had already been convicted were lumped in with the accused for the sole purpose of attempting to give credence to the charge that the critics of FDR were Nazi supporters and -- shudder -- anticommunist.

If FDR could get convictions many believed that next would be prominent conservatives such as Senators and the publisher of the Chicago Tribune.

Rogge made such a farce of the trial that finally! the public had enough. There were no convictions but -- as usual, lives were ruined. I believe Harry Truman as president later fired Rogge.

Well I was not a student of the most Communist Administration till now. I do know about Hitler and Germany and Stalin. And this is what they did to the Jews and Undesirables.. Demonize them then slowly oppress them, then finally exterminate them. Remember Bill Ayers said it would be fine to kill 25 million rich Americans if it helped the cause.
