Tennessee Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen called tea party congressional Republicans “domestic enemies” against which he must defend the country, describing them as rabid, sophomoric and in ambitious pursuit of their policies.

“I obviously do not have an opportunity to go within the conference, the Republican — we call it a caucus, they call it a conference,” Cohen said on Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Up with Steve Kornacki.” “But I know some of the members there — and a lot of those members — they’re rabid, they’re sophomoric, literally, they’re second term in Congress, never worked in politics before, and they think they are somehow like — it’s all talked in military terms. They think they’re some kind of guerrillas there to strike a blow for freedom.”

The Tennessee Democrat warned the tea party may try to pursue its shutdown strategy once again. But he added that it was his duty as a member of Congress to support the country from all enemies domestic and foreign — portraying the tea party members as domestic enemies...

They plan to use the military and law enforcement to do it. He most certainly will not dirty his hands personally.

". . . Victoria Brink, was actually his daughter. Chastened, the scandalmongers retreated, until it was revealed last week that a DNA test determined that Cohen was not Brink’s father."

the scandal revives? Someone had it in for him?

Wow!! A politician who actually leads, in a positive direction, and keeps in touch with the people? That’s almost like a unicorn in America today.

Cohen is representing most of his constituents and their priorities. Granted those priorities are awful and misdirected efforts toward self destruction, but he sees it as his job to strictly represent and not lead.

Perhaps a bit ironically, if the Republican Party had a few more people who thought like that, they wouldn't be rolling over for Baraq any more.

what I’m saying is that there will probably be a flash point like that caning that’ll bring everything to a head. Look for it.

I agree, though I am beginning to think that it's not going to be a simple provocation like arresting Cruz or shooting up a school and blaming Conservatives (though that is possible) - it may be a more unthinkable 'event' - such as nukes going off followed by a state of emergency. Something 'allowed' to take place to further a more insidious agenda.

Or they may do all of the above together and when conflict escalates - and 'event' occurs that gives cover and justification for what I think the MarxoFascists are going to do anyway.

Regardless, we make a big mistake to assume history cannot be repeated here - because history teaches that it not only CAN, but that it WILL.

The meme of demanding Obama 'criminalize' Conservatives and those who oppose him is beginning to become deafening. I had several DU idiot types say they were going to report my blog to the feds because I was engaged in 'sedition' for openly calling for defiance of Obamacare.

Clearly the mindset that exists - (and even repeated by the Judenrats in the GOP) that opposing Obama and his 'laws of the land' is sedition. So after being demonized, we are quickly being moved into the next phase of a genocide - which is criminalization.
