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.

The weather service was saying we could have another entire year with La Nina patterns. That is not what we need. The only difference between this year and the drought in the mid - late 50s is that there are many more water reservoirs in Texas.

They feel themselves losing their grip at the 11th hour, and will stop at nothing to achieve their ultimate goal. War is upon us, whether we want it, or not.

You are so right!

If Obama is reelected prepare for the worse.

The left will go crazy with joy and insatiable demands for more, more, more socialism and retaliation against their opposition (us!).

If Obama is not reelected prepare for the worse.

The left will go crazy with their sense of unfair loss - In their eyes, the presidency, the entire government and the future of America belongs to them because they feel they are compassionate and think they mean well.

If they lose they know it can only be due to some underhanded force.
They will destroy the country in preference to letting others dismantle their fledgling socialist utopia.

The federal bureaucracies are overblown with leftists and they will spend their energy sabotaging a new administration just as they sabotaged the Bush administration for 8 years.

Outside the bureaucracies we can already see what the future holds with the increasing gang/mob racist violence. If Obama loses the election it will be like the 1960's Watts, Newark, and Detroit riots, but 1,000 times worse.

From the article: “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.

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

The “UNHINGED” Left are becoming more and more desperate and incoherent. Woe to the naive RELATIVISTS who have no real core and kid themselves into believing that they are “open-minded ‘moderates’ who ‘listen to both sides’ on ‘each issue’, and then decide which side is right.”

These sorts of clueless mentalities are easily manipulated by the focus-grouped buzz-words the propagandists use to press their buttons. (Words like ‘fairness’, ‘extremist’, etc., etc.)

These, “I don’t know what to think until I listen to what both sides have to ‘say’”, mushy-minded relativists are setting themselves up for the fall when they tune in to hear the opinions of radical leftists who want them to believe that they’re the “reasonable moderates”.

Here’s the latest in what they’ll hear when they tune in to the ‘other side’:

Hollywood Mogul Katzenberg Rails Against Tea Party’s ‘Extremism ’
NewsBusters ^ | August 06, 2011 | Brent Baker
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2011/08/06/hollywood-mogul-katzenberg-rails-against-tea-party-s-extremism

A reminder this week Hollywood moguls aren’t just enthralled with Barack Obama. They are also ideological liberals who have disgust for conservatives and are especially enraged by the Tea Party’s success.

Explaining his $2 million donation to a left-wing political action committee, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg told USA Today he was motivated by how “outside Republican spending in 2010 led to the election of ‘Republican extremists.’”

[]He warned: “The stakes are too high for us to simply allow the extremism of a small but well-funded right wing minority to go unchallenged.”

Priorities USA Action is the “super PAC” founded by former Obama Deputy Press Secretary Bill Clinton and ex-Clinton operative/CNN contributor Paul Begala. Back in 1994 Katzenberg was a founder, with Stephen Spielberg, of the DreamWorks Studios production house.

In an August 4 front page article, “A dozen donors account for bulk of ‘super PAC’ money,” USA Today reporters Fredreka Schouten and Christopher Schnaars relayed:

....DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg led the way among Democrats, giving $2 million in May to Priorities USA Action, a group run by former Obama aides....

In an e-mail, Katzenberg said outside Republican spending in 2010 led to the election of “Republican extremists” who he said took the nation to the edge of default in the recent debt-ceiling showdown. “The stakes are too high for us to simply allow the extremism of a small but well-funded right wing minority to go unchallenged,” he said....”

Obama is not going to be reelected. Go ahead and let his minions know. He has no course to take now. He has spent America to it’s first downgrade in history including the Great Depression and WWII.

The boy idiot has no place to turn and his Marxist theological belief has put him in a corner.

“I won’t be reconstructed.”

That’s a GREAT song, and perhaps gives us the clearest picture of why the struggle isn’t over yet.

However, some reading your posting might not get where that line is coming from. I’m sure there are a lot of Freepers who might like to copy it and keep it in their archives. Here it is:

“I’m A Good Old Rebel”

Oh, I’m a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this yankee nation
I do no give a damn

I’m glad I fit against ‘er
I only wish we’d won
I ain’t asked any pardon
For anything I’ve done

I hates the Yankee nation
And eveything they do
I hates the declaration
Of independence too

I hates the glorious union
‘Tis dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner
And fit it all I could

I rode with Robert E. Lee
For three years there about
Got wounded in four places
And I starved at Point Lookout

I catch the roomatism
Campin’ in the snow
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And I’d like to kill some mo’

Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us

They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got

I can’t take up my musket
And fight ‘em down no mo’
But I ain’t a-goin’ to love ‘em
Now that is serten sho’

And I don’t want no pardon
For what I was and am
I won’t be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn

Just sayin’...

Considering the tea party is "the people", the insanity of the left is such that it would take on that which even the Soviet Union wouldn't engage directly.

Presuming to declare war on the very citizens of the United States is an act of unequaled arrogance even for this administration.

And we can respond far more effectively than a few Afghani tribes with some stinky camels.

"The USC is totally silent on the issue of secession."

And, even After, there was no provision added. Unfortunately, this time there is no convenient tag between slave and free states. There is just a separation between self-reliant people, and groveling, helpless, willing serfs.

We could cull the herd with a metric. Left side of the Bell Curve, deport them to Mexico, Right side, go home and prosper. Democrats need to be led. They aren't bright enough to function on their own, and the Dem dictators know this. That's why sociopaths like being Dem leaders. They know it doesn't take much to herd a flock of sheep, even over a cliff.

He may not be, but we’re going to be left with all of the leftists in Congress and in the federal bureaucracy, who have done as much to get us to this point as 0 has. It’s going to be a long slog.

The Obama presidency is the culmination of the 1960s left’s long march to power.

"Bring it all down, man." The elderly 1960s Marxist-Alinsky radicals (spoiled brats) and their ideological issue on march! Stand back! It's not just their ideology you smell.

I make the comparison of their attacks on the Tea Party, et al. to FDR going after critics that began in the 1930s. It had to end.

In particular there is the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 -- as horrible as it was it was such a DoJ-caused farce that the public finally had enough of the attacks on critics of the Administration. Even though it was wartime and the accused were said to be "Nazi supporters."

FDR lumped Bundists in with the critics who simply opposed his ideology; thus he could prosecute them all for being "Nazi sympathizers" especially after the Stalin-Hitler Pact broke down (1939).

Years of abuse ruined the lives of many "little people" among whom it was believed that their persecution was merely a precursor to the real FDR objective, ridding America of all political opposition.

That is without question the objective of the elderly 1960s Marxist-Alinsky radicals (spoiled brats) and their ideological issue.

I think it will take a lot more than merely demanding as individuals that Progressives cease their rhetoric: we need to organize a national effort to stand up to their bullying tactics, make it plain that what they are doing will lead to violence, and inform Americans that inciting such violence is exactly what they want.

Only problem with that, is that we don't control the airwaves, the left does. They're only going to allow what messages and images they approve of, to get out. Even then, you can be sure that they will use them to twist what we're really saying into some lie that supports their suppressive agenda.

Yes, we now have our own unofficial information channels and communication routes, but they're still mostly our home network. The zombie drones on the left aren't exposed to them.

The state-run media is going to continue to push the coordinated message that the Tea Party is dangerous and extremist, and they will do this over every protestation from the right. Bank on it.

For instance, if all of New England were purged, the union would be better and stronger.

***************

Not everyone in New England is part of the problem, if you please.

Tempted though I am to stay in Massachusetts and hold my ground, I'm not sure that would be safe. (Especially once the gummint stops sending checks and the rioting begins!)

Instead, the wife and I are looking at property in New Hampshire, where conservative values are still in vogue. A run-down old farm is my first choice but she might want electricity and other frills like running water (lol).

Got a few possibilities but we're still looking. Can anybody suggest a central New Hampshire town with a fierce Tea Party contingent and an active sportsmen's club?

Everything you said is spot on. We have every reason to remain optimistic about the final outcome of this war, but we should also be prepared for the unthinkable to happen before we get there.

“Are you willing to put it all on the line for the guy three miles away who is being hauled off in cuffs this morning for having too many guns?”

Yes, I am. I live in Maine, and nearly everyone here has many firearms per household, except for the occasional moonbat in southern Maine who moved here from Massachusetts and doesn’t own a single firearm.

No one in Maine is being hauled off this morning, or any other morning for having too many guns. If anything like that happens, it would happen on a national scale.....I wouldn’t put anything past Obama and his fellow marxist travellers. The day that happens is the day civil war and revolution break out all over America.
