   I honestly can’t figure out which is more hypocritical. The Obama Regime whining because conservatives are engaged in community organizing in order to oppose their statist agenda? Or, the party of Astroturfing King David Axelrod claiming that the tea-party/anti-ObamaCare phenomenon is entirely made up.

   It’s the Tea Party-bashers who can’t tolerate peaceful, open dissent.

   Couple that with the new White House “snitch” program clearly designed to intimidate dissent and we have a recipe to brew real trouble for our beloved country.

   These DNC Fascists are trying to quell political dissent and they must be challenged at every turn. Furthermore, they will say and do anything to achieve that end, including the recent “rescue” of the two journalists. Stay focused on stopping Obama’s frightening socialist healthcare aberration and never yield.

   Looks like the government has kicked the sleeping giant and disturbed his slumber. A few more nudges like Federalized Health Care and Nationalized Banks will definitely rouse his ire and promote action. The last thing our elected government wants is citizen participation, “I have never been more proud of my country”.

    I disagree with the ‘bad’ definition of vigilantes above. These people WERE the law in a lawless land. They are not the ones who would slash tires, etc. When you do not have good law or lawmen, you need vigilantes to protect people.

    I did grow up on westerns and know that vigilantes were often accused of hanging the wrong ones for horse/cattle theft, but I do not believe the replacement of a group of local citizens for a ‘hanging’ judge or a sheriff who was wanted for murder in another county was a good thing.

    The Minute Men volunteered to help protect the border and were called vigilantes by Bush as thought that was a bad thing. Nuts.

    Only citizens will help us – not the corrupt government. I am not sure the government was ever not corrupt – too easy to get rich by being in the government. I know our local guys in government are now very wealthy.

    We need laws to protect us, not rape us. NO corrupt cap and trade from EPA source. NO ‘kill the old ones’ from Soylent (sp) Green i.e. AARP to save money. I worked for EPA and know they became corrupt. I quit AARP when they promoted genuine communists. Barf.

    Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

    she was right on that one…we are now involved and informed and they certainly don’t like it now do they?

    I’ve heard the liberals complain that the anti-Obamacare protesters are loud and disruptive, not allowing the Democratic Congressmen and Women to speak (you won’t see these protests at solid, Republican townhalls). The reason they are so loud is they know their elected representatives are not listening to nor reading their grievances. If the complaint doesn’t agree with the liberal agenda, it is ignored.

    How many of you out there feel your elected representative hears your phone calls or reads your letters or emails unless you agree with their liberal position? I personally don’t consider receiving a pat, Democratic talking points letter a response.

    I am in Missouri. I write to Kit Bond and get NO response. I write to Clair McCaskill and get democrat talking points that are meaningless and just make me madder. My local congressman Sam Graves appears to be a real patriot – the only one I have found. I do watch these 3 voting records and only approve of Graves. Bond is wishy washy and McCaskill is very far left.

    I missed an earlier tea party some time ago in Corporate Woods, MO. I cannot find anywhere close where McCaskill has a town hall meeting (she does not attend them herself – coward). I go to the 2 senators web sites and find nothing of value. I think we are running out of time.

    It’s my opinion that once politicians get just so far up the food chain, something happens – like brainwashing – and they stop serving the best interests of the American public/constituents, and only serve a centralized organization that is FAR FROM the public eye and not what we put them into office for. Most cannot be reasoned with, and certainly cannot be considered credible anymore.

    I agree but I don’t think the problem is so much that they are in office. I think the problem is in politics today our politicians are constantly in campaign mode, constantly running for re-election. The money they have to collect to stay in office, win re-elections, continuing to campaign and govern very little, I think its that process that causes the changes. They stop being statesmen, leaders, doing the right thing, and start doing what appears to be good and can generate votes.

    In a comical missive issued Tuesday afternoon, Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse complained: “The Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill — are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.”

    All:

    During a recent looong meeting, docs and administrators were discussing how best to get more hospital funding and physician reimbursement from state and federal governments.

    …In other words, how best to grovel before the emperor for favors.

    I did pipe up to point out that what is being discussed by the government now is not healthcare reform; but, rather, healthcare funding reform, healthcare decision-making reform, healthcare “power” reform, healthcare control reform.
    But, it is not “healthcare” reform.
    To which, folks nodded and agreed…then continued the discussion.

    The use of “scare tactics” on senior citizens was criticized – somewhat veiled criticism, but criticism nonentheless – and almost mocked; non-verbal cues such as tone of speaking and facial expressions that one had to be there to “receive”.
    One individual even brought up that a family member of his is frightened.

    After the meeting, I chatted briefly with a smart, likeable colleague, who said the usual “something has to be done” about healthcare, tort reform, blah, blah, blah…and then said that paying what is being paid now to everyone is not possible, that the system will go broke.
    I told him tort reform will not happen now, because Obama is a lawyer and a socialist.

    He immediately said that Obama is not a socialist.

    Incredulous, I said that of course Obama is a socialist.
    He said again that Obama is not a socialist.

    At that instant, my estimation of my colleague dropped a degree or two.

    I brought up that government has created this mess, is going to worsen it, and cannot possibly solve it.

    He said, “What about Medicare? Is that socilaism?”

    I answered that yes, it was/is socialism.

    He then agreed that it was/is socialism!

    I pointed out that the mess we are in is what should be expected when a third party is paying for something: neither the customer nor the provider has an immediate interest in keeping costs down.

    He didn’t really respond to that.

    We said “so long” to each and parted amicably.

    But, how “interesting” that meeting and that conversation were.

    Just further makes me glad that I canceled my AMA membership at the beginning of this year.

    That clause further illustrates the affinity socialists have with the loony muslim killers/jihadists:

    Watch Chavez in Venezuela – Obama and his cronies are close behind.

    1. Nationalize the industries using some pretence like an economic crisis or falsely accusing them of acting illegally.
    2. Control the media – newspapers, radio and television and silence the opposition.
    3. Disarm the populace.
    4. Change the electoral laws abolishing term limits and granting extended powers.

    Result – Socialism. A lower standard of living for the populace (but the leaders and their chosen friends are given special privileges); foreign investment vanishes; poverty increases; justice is meted out unequally; healthcare is rationed; productivity is reduced to almost zero; and no one is left to pay the taxes to feed the socialist beast. Eventually, total dissatisfaction and a revolt by the populace replacing the socialist regime with possibly a worse military dictatorship.

    I for one am looking for the rapture to occur soon. Pity those left behind!

    Not sure if this was posted here yesterday but here’s another press conference by Democrat Carnahan in South St. Louis on the Cash for Clunkers program.

    The so-called “organized” rabble rousing public couldn’t ask questions. The press could but only on certain topics. Looks like Carnahan is running into lots of opposition lately.

    There are some very good insights in the posts above. A lot of people are “waking up” to what is going on.

    JANGER #24 gets it right on our “representatives” going bad on us. I think it is GREED–not something in the water or air–that corrupts them. Bill and Hillary Clinton are prime examples of poor politicians who have become very rich ($100+ million) selling us out. Who thinks that some Arab potentates paid Slick Willie hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech for nothing–they bought Hils votes.
    ***
    HAPPYSCRAPPER #52 gets it right on the ABORTION (not “choice”) issue. It always bums me out to hear Catholic and Episcopal church members saying they voted for President Obama (PBUH) and other abortion supporting candidates.
    ***
    Over 40 million babies (not “cell clumps!) have been murdered in the U.S.A. since Rowe vs. Wade made this “legal”. We think that Hitler’s murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust was bad–this is 7 times worse. How can a so called “Christian” vote for this evil? And who wants our coerced tax money spent on this horror?

    Anyone else starting to wonder how the left can even afford to HAVE another free election? I am starting to get the “conspiracy” bug, though I am trying to fight it off…haha. Seems like they must know that they are on borrowed time. Either they will orchestrate a major crisis and suspend elections, and/or they would have to step up the census redistricting AND legalize a bunch of illegals, bussing them in to vote. How could they possibly win again?

    I think they truly believe they can engineer the next election in their favor! They have ACORN, Black Panthers, etc. That is why we have to pull together and find a way to GUARD every single polling place against the corruption they are sure to try. We know how corrupt and dishonest they are. So how can we expect a fair election? They will pull all the tricks in the book. We need to INSPECT every machine, and GUARD every polling place so the voters are not intimidated. Maybe we need to get Jimmah Cartah in to advise on how to assure an honest election.

    One thing for sure…if some of these crapweasels win in the next election, we will KNOW it was rigged!

    Next month I’ll be 65. In 1963, I was 19 years old, starting college and there were a lot of changes happening in our society. There was a fervor or rebellion which was driven by anti-war sentiment and general disrespect for authority. I was not, then (or now) inclined in that direction politically. But there was something in the air that was right about the skepticism regarding government and authority. The concerns were right but the direction was wrong.

    I liked the music of the day, still do in many ways, though I’ve always had the internal conflict of not liking the direction of the day as much as the spirit of the times. But now the tables are turned.

    The spirit of skepticism and dissent has been re-awakened within a segment of society I am now part of and in tune with.

    In 1963 Bob Dylan wrote these lines:

    Come Senators, Congressmen
    Please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway
    Don’t block up the hall

    For he that gets hurt
    Will be he who has stalled
    There’s a battle outside
    And it’s ragin’

    It’ll soon shake your windows
    and rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin’

    Indeed, today, a new movement has sprung to life that is saying “enough is enough, stop it!” And now the “establishment” consists of the very people who 45 years ago were the rebels. Well, their ideas were worthless then and haven’t improved. They are the new establishment and a new battle is now raging outside. “Something is happening here, and they don’t know what it is…….do they?”

    Too bad we don’t have an employer in this country that decides they’re not going to collect taxes anymore. Or a state that would draft legislation stating the same.

    Frank Luntz was on Hannity last night and he was saying the people need to be more respectful of these politicians. Why? For decades they have ignored the wishes of the people and we’ve basically just sat back and didn’t do anything. You have to yell because they seem to be hard of hearing, espcially when you close your offices, draw the blinds, don’t reply to emails and you don’t answer the phones.

    To the best of my ability I cannot think of a single time when the Democrats were ever “censored” or otherwise not allowed to exercise their rights to free speech when the Republicans were in power.

    I realize that, in part, this is because any such attempt would probably have brought the spotlight of MSM scrutiny – but that’s as it should be, the REAL purpose of the Fifth Estate.

    But Democrats – and the Left in general – cannot stand any sort of ideological competition. The first thing the Leftists do when they take power is limit and even destroy any possibility of criticism of their policies.

    The current administration and congressional leadership is no different. They are pigs.

    The town hall protests bother the Democrats because they are used to using their welfare and union thugs to suppress the voices of dissent by whatever means is available.

    I would point out that, so far, the town hall protests have shown the anger that all Americans who work for a living have against the tyranny emerging out of Washington. But they have not been violent.
    My fear is that the Congressional Democrats will ignore the voices of reason and concern, and that will lead to violence. People can only be pushed so far, and it is obvious that they have been pushed to the brink.

    I suggest that the confrontational tactics continue for the next year – and that people who would otherwise contribute to Democrats withhold such contributions. The next step is to turn all these bums out of office in 2010.

Another difference is that we are yelling at these politicians to LISTEN TO US AND TO TELL US THE TRUTH. By contrast, the lefties yell to stifle the truth and shut us up. If we compare the tea party “MOBS” to the protests from the left…well, unless the libs are magicians and can truly wipe out historical fact…this will come back to bite them.

    “teabagging rednecks”. She’s absolutely unrepentant. “F***ing redneck d*****baggery. Unmitigated d*****baggery. Why are they holding signs that say, ‘Whatchoo talking about, Willis?’ These people are called ‘racially sensitive’, what they should be called is racist, backward motherf***ers.”

    MoGal and AuntieEm,

    I went to a mtg laste evening with several speakers, the highlight was a man who JUST might unseat Babs Boxer. An earlier speaker from Glenn Beck’s We Surround Them spoke of an idea that is growing on me: they provide recording equipment and we come up with a TownHall in Absentia of a CongressCritter. My local Critter, Mike Honda of San Jose, has on his website that he will ONLY hold a Telephone Mtg on Saturday 8/22. AND THIS IS IN THE LIBERAL BAY AREA. Unbelievable! It matters not that he or his Staff listen to these entire recorded mtgs or if they listen at all. I was part of the SMOG Check II Protests in Sacramento years back and any way to get inside their comfort zone, to rattle their psyche, within the bounds of the Law.

    Pardon a SciFi reference, but a slow constant pressure will eventually break a force field. Said another way, Trumpet sounds will crumble fortress walls.

    Democrats are so flummoxed because we have been working, taking care of home and harth. They didn’t think we were capable of this. But as the above reference quoted: Awakening the Giant.
