The Democrats’ Massachusetts meltdown
Good morning, readers. Hope you didn’t party too hard last night. If you went to bed early (as opposed to those of us who never went to sleep!), you can catch up on all the election live-blogging fun here. My syndicated column today dissects the twin meltdowns of Bay State and Beltway Democrats. But even with Scott “41!” Brown’s victory, the battle over Demcare has only just begun. The health care takeover-peddlers are looking for a back-up plan. If they can’t get their full “public option” Trojan Horse through the gates, they’ll settle for Trojan Ponies.
In “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote of “the muster of men at the barrack door.” Today, it’s the muster of men at Barack’s door who must be met with “a cry of defiance, and not of fear.” The nutroots are cranking up the pressure on congressional liberals to cling to the most radical form of Demcare and “fight harder for change.” What part of Coakley/Obama’s epic fail doesn’t the party in power understand?
Tea Party activists must stay vigilant and crank it up even louder to warn of the coming big government perils.
Side note: At a church pulpit on Sunday, President Obama declared that Demcare’s passage would be “a victory for dignity and decency, and for our common humanity.” Since the voters of Massachusetts effectively killed Obama’s plans to ram the bribe-laden Demcare package down taxpayers’ throats, will he now declare them all enemies of dignity, decency, and common humanity who are spitefully flipping the late Ted Kennedy the bird?
Oh, wait. Garrison Keillor and Roger Ebert already did it for him.

The Democrats’ Massachusetts meltdown
by Michelle Malkin

Copyright 2010
By early afternoon on Tuesday, several hours before the polls closed on the special Senate election in Massachusetts, the Democrats had already thrown in the towel and started throwing punches. At each other. There was more finger-pointing among Bay State and Beltway Democrats than a Three Stooges TV marathon. More back-stabbing than all of the Real Housewives combined.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs confessed that President Obama was “frustrated” and “not pleased” by the closeness of the race after his salvation mission to Boston over the weekend. Operatives lashed out at Democrat candidate Martha Coakley’s listless, gaffetastic campaign. Capitol Hill buzzed with rumors that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was blaming the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and liberal pollster Celinda Lake for ignoring electoral alarm bells.
In response, Coakley’s team leaked a memo blasting national Democrats brethren for failing to aid them “until too late.” Another Democratic Party official counter-jabbed to Politico.com that Coakley had “been involved in the worst case of political malpractice in memory.”
On the sidelines, Democrat Rep. Barney Frank took to the airwaves to call for sabotaging Senate rules and ending the filibuster in anticipation of losing the magic 60th vote for the government health care takeover plan. Democrat Rep. Steny Hoyer trotted out the old blame-the-GOP card – incoherently arguing that GOP candidate Scott Brown’s surge among conservatives, independents, and once-reliable rank-and-file Democrat voters in the deep-blue state of Massachusetts was a backlash against Republican obstructionism.
“I think what the public is angry about is they see, first of all, an opposition for opposition’s sake,” Hoyer told reporters in D.C. If Democrats continue to cling to that outer-space nonsense, the shock they will suffer in the November 2010 elections will make January 19 look like a spa day.
GOP candidate Scott Brown’s surge is an unmistakable victory for Tea Party activism. Online fund-raising over the last few weeks buoyed the campaign and put Brown in the national spotlight. Buzz over a possible “Massachusetts Miracle” persuaded national Republican organizations to belatedly transfer funds for phone and mail get-out-the-vote operations targeted at independent voters.
There was nothing particularly “clever” about GOP candidate Scott Brown’s election strategy, as White House senior adviser and Astroturf master David Axelrod put it, or “radical,” as hysterical Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John Kerry put it. Brown ran a simple, mainstream Republican campaign aided by grass-roots support nationwide. The Tea Party movement once derided as “tiny” and “fringe” reportedly filled Brown’s coffers with small donations totaling $1 million a day over the last week, according to TheDailyCaller.com. He didn’t have to solicit their support. He earned it by reflecting the mood of Massachusetts voters who have turned against the Demcare scheme and its backroom deals.
An Army National Guardsman, Brown also drew sharp contrasts between his support for a robust, proactive national security stance and Coakley’s law enforcement approach endorsing civilian trials on American soil for jihadi suspects. Her cluelessness about the presence of Taliban in Afghanistan didn’t help her soft-on-terrorism image.
In short, Brown ran on core issues fiscal responsibility, limited government, and a strong national defense, while appealing to a broader swath of voters by emphasizing integrity, independence, and willingness to stand up to machine politics. After a year’s worth of Democrat stimulus giveaways to cronies, reneging on transparency pledges, and Cash for (fill-in-the-blank) bailouts, voters have had enough of the enablers and water-carriers. Brown channeled the energies of taxpayers of all stripes who are disgusted and angry — yes, ANGRY! – with the culture of corruption Washington. That is how Brown has struck common ground with his insurgent center-right-indie coalition: By stepping up to oppose the Dems’ plans to rig the game and undermine representative government, instead of sneering at “Teabaggers.”
While a self-satisfied and entitled Coakley vacationed or partied with D.C. lobbyists, Brown drove around in his GM truck, shaking hands in the cold outside Fenway Park – earning the scorn of Coakley and President Obama, who mocked Brown’s truck six times at the Boston rally this weekend to the delight of blue-nosed Democrats.
Barney Frank griped at the Coakley-Obama rally that Coakley “let it become a personality contest and that was a mistake.” The supreme irony in hearing Beltway Democrats snipe at Coakley over her effete, out-of-touch attitude is that their commander-in-chief at 1600 Pennsylvania suffers the same fatal flaws. Exactly one year after Obama was inaugurated, the Massachusetts meltdown mirrors the White House meltdown. For the sake of their political survival, Democrats need to stop promising change and start promising self-correction.

The worst enemy we face now is complacency.
Last night on confirms my thought’s that Obama’s ‘victory’ was not about him and his agenda as much as it was an emotional, herd-like reaction of disgust to perceived evils of the previous administration, as Jimmy Carter was elected instead of Ford.
I swear, the Democratic Party must have a latent wish to become marginalized/extinct, like The Whig Party or the Dry Party.
PS: Reading this morning’s edition of the WaPo is even more entertaining that usual. They just don’t get it.
Hear, Hear!!
The Emperor has no coattails.
Agreed. No more business as usual!
A post I wrote April 14, 2009:
Here is my favorite part of tonight’s great victory…
Barney Frank’s seat could be vulnerable in 2010!
Based on number available tonight, in Barney’s 4th District:
Coakley: 118,420 votes
Brown: 117,812 votes
Kennedy: 2,361
Which means more people voted against the Democrat in Barney Frank’s District!!!
Who would have ever thought that would be possible?????
Who is running against Barney Frank in 2010????
Now we know we can accomplish miracles!!!
Sarah Palin got a good laugh quoting from William Shatner’s autobiography:
I know this is crude, but for every liberal who called us “teabaggers”,
we now say:
That’s good stuff, Michelle!
Scott warned you not to come, Barry. You should have listened. Now Scott can drive that truck right to his D.C. Senate office if he so chooses. And in his phone call with you last night he offered to show it to you.
Who’s laughing now, Barry?
VICTORY!!!!! If last night wasn’t a miracle, I don’t know what could be! :0)
As always, Michelle, wonderful article! You’re one of two columnists whose weekly (or in your case, twice a week) article I never miss, and I’m never disappointed.
YAY for the 41st R vote in the Senate!!! This could really save America.
Perhaps Miracle is NOT too big a word. I contributed to the Money Bomb as I had hoped Brown could shake them up a tad. That he could win in BlueCentral had not really occurred to me.
Susan Estrich on FOX News last night had a good line: “Wouldn’t you hate to be in Harry Reid’s home tonight”
For Pick Up trucks and America
“we’re not connecting with the needs, the aspirations and the desires of real people right now,” said Democrat San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
It took Dick Tracy to figure this one out.
I have heard of the San San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto fault. Whose fault is this-the Brown Fault?
Obama, DON’T mock Brown’s truck, just GET OUT OF IT’S WAY!
And Obama, take your SOCIALIST mop with you.
A Post-Election Haiku…
The ‘Rat Firing Squad
Is drilling upon the Green.
A circle, of course…
We need Scott Brown rallies all up and down the North East Corridor to cheer him on as he drives that truck down to Washington DC. The Tea Partiers could throw something together that fast. Those guys are good!
With Coakley blaming the WH and the WH blaming Coakley and all of the dems pointing fingers something strikes me.
These libs are showing their arrogance and elitism and belief that they are smarter than the rest of us.
They think the voters are so stupid that we can’t and don’t vote on issues. They think they just didn’t do a good enough job on their advertising to brainwash Mass voters.
As if they’re selling a backwards housecoat and calling it a snuggie.
They don’t get it.
The voters of Mass. voted on issues.
“Let me be clear: the voters acted stupidly.”
This is only the begining. It is time to take back America from the deadly grip of liberal progressives of both parties. We’ve still got 2 more election cycles before a reasonable cleansing can happen, so don’t party yet.
Wait a minute. I just heard that some Acorn-related election official just found 250,000 previously uncounted ballots in the trunk of her car. And they’re all for Coakley.
Massachusetts voters reject Alinskyism, as will the rest of the country this November.
Slightly O/T: I just checked back on this. Looks like Mr. B+ over-rated himself relative to these poll-takers.
Maybe we could call it the “Miracle of 41st Seat”
OK – Seriously, what we saw in the past few weeks was the various ‘tea party’ organizations acting in national unity, supporting a candidate with the view that it was more than a local election, it had national implications. We have gotten confidence in what we desire can be achieved. What we have learned and applied should be obvious, but I think has escaped the power structure in DC, we can utilize the web, the social networks, and VOI protocals to support a local candidate from all over the nation – we can’t vote for them, but we can man phone banks from our homes in other states, we can donate our small amounts (I especially liked the significance of donating $9.12 repeatedly) over the internet. We Are One, Hear Us Roar.
I suspect most of the MSM will just write this off as a fluke because of Coakley’s ill-handling of her campaign. They won’t even dare discuss how this obviously was a vote against BO’s socialist agenda.
All of them should be viewed this way from now on, including state Governors as well. Too many of them like to play footsies with DC and get their states in a heap of trouble.
LOL
Brown ran on core issues fiscal responsibility, limited government, and a strong national defense, while appealing to a broader swath of voters by emphasizing integrity, independence, and willingness to stand up to machine politics
An absolutely wonderful platform on which to run for office and win. No mention of social issues.
What you do in your bedroom, go to bed or go to sleep, is your own business.
The populace is tired of the arrogance of this administration. They’re tired of the so-called stimulus that didn’t go for “shovel-ready” jobs but instead went toward political pay backs and “free” funding for the liberal’s social programs. They’re tired of the liberals ramming the Demcare bill down our throats – a bill that is not about healthcare but about power and control. They’re tired of a wanton disregard of fiscal responsibility. They’re tired of being ignored by their elected representatives. They’re tired of rewarding their union cronies. They’re tired of a whole number of moves the Democrats have been making.
I believe there is another reason people are frightened for the survival of this country. The shameless way Obama has surrounded himself with Marxists, Socialists, Communists and any number of dysfunctional radicals, only points to the fact that Obama and his associates are out to destroy this great country and mold it into the utopia they want and pretty much have told us so.
It’s interesting to watch Barney Frank now start demanding that healthcare not be voted on until Scott Brown is seated. Barney Frank may be a lot of things, but politically dumb is not one of them. He sees the handwriting on the wall.
wren, your analysis is exactly right. now the republican tea party independent people of massachusetts need to find a viable candidate to run against that old fairy. surely his act at the town hall meetings and his maniacal rants in interviews have convinced some that his time of service is past. they waited for kennedy to die, but frank isn’t a kennedy. HE NEEDS TO GO HOME, PULL ON HIS PAISLEY SMOKING JACKET, AND SIT DOWN WITH HIS BOYFRIEND AND WRITE HIS THRILLING MEMOIRS.
If MA can create a miracle, I am hopeful IL can follow-up with one also. Here in the Land of Lincoln we are cursed with Durbin and Burress, among others. Roland the twit is not running for re-election, the last I heard, so at least Obama’s former seat will come into play soon. The governor seat is up in November and there are many bone headed congress critters to be eliminated. So let’s enjoy our high tea and then get back to work. There are many more objectives to be taken.
Garrison Keillor is such a tool.
GET THE VIDEO OF OLBERMAN LAST NIGHT!! The man was livid for all of the 30 seconds I could stand to watch him.
he’s another disgruntled cartmanland wannabe.
Socialistas must go down, they must go down hard. Aiiiieeeee!!!!!!
Pass the margaritas please!
I have already heard libtards saying things like ” we are listening and we have heard your message” Blah, blah.
This is what we must all be on the look for and not let just Mass. placate anything. Now is the time to make our voices even louder.
Scott Brown’s election was a wooden stake driven into the tiny evil heart of the progressive movement. Watch it SQUIRM!
Scott’s victory will cause corrupt Obama and his corrupt commie progressives to become even more desperate to conduct their vile attack on our Constitution quickly while they perceive that they still have any chance to get away with doing so.
We have to be ready for Obama’s response which I expect to be something similar to rat just beginning to realize it’s getting isolated into a corner.
Drudge headline says “Obama pledges full speed ahead on health reform”
Apparently his ears are packed with wax or he’s a bigger fool than we realize.
I hope that dems continue along this path of suicudal ignorance. At least when they got their butts kicked in 1994, they took the time to “reflect” and realize what they did wrong. The clowns in this Congress and in this administration are too thick to understand that this Country is center right, not far left/socialist. Good!!! If they keep this up, they will not see one incumbent win in November. But if we take back power, we better pay attention to what led to it. Conservatives are sick to death of faux Republicans. We want to get back to fiscal conservatism, and realistic protection of our Country including border protection, no amnesty for illegal aliens, and no more coddling treatment of enemy combatants.
HUBRIS; (noun) meaning excessive pride and ambition leading to downfall or classical tragedy.
Dem Hubris and arrogance took down the Dems last night, not just in MA but nationwide.
The Brown win; marks the end of the short lived OBAMAN EMPIRE on the eve of just their first year’s anniversary.
Obama now has a lame duck regime.
Few of Obama’s fellow Dems up for re-election this year will be eager to fall on Obama’s Healthcare Scheme or other swords committing political suicide. They will openly start saying ‘no’ to Barack, Rahm, Axelrod, Pelosi, Reid et al and listen more closely to their electorates back home in fly-over country and parts of America that the Beltway crowd scorns.
Dems who heretofore ignored and made fun of ‘Teabaggers’ got the message last night and aren’t laughing.
And in 2 more days, Obama will break his word and fail to deliver on his first piece of Executive legislation signed into law ordering Gitmo closed on or before January 22, 2010…another Obama regime failure I’m glad for.
Dem Hubris may have saved America last night from a near death experience.
Conservative vigilance, staying true to their ideals and DELIVERING that to an angry electorate is now an opportunity to not squander.
___‹^›__‹(•¿•)›__‹^›___
My one Repub co-worker didn’t show up today; maybe this is why!
A great day in America this morning!
Good morning all you ruthless right-wing tea-bagging folks who abhor socialism. If you drive a pick up truck, even better!
Great column, thanks Michelle.
I am basking in schadenfreude today, it has been a long time since I felt hope.
The fight starts again: keep your eyes on Marco Rubio here in Florida for the August primary against Crist. He will win!
Let us hope that the socialists do not do the above.
Please Michelle, no advice to our domestic enemies…When one’s enemy is in the process of destroying himself, do not interfere (nor give advice).
Is that an intentional double entendre?
Ladies and Gentlemen, our long national nightmare is (almost) over!
As someone correctly posted on another thread…we must be ever vigilant to the danger that the America-hating, domestic-enemy socialists will now merely revert to their decades-long, incremental erosion and destruction of America, instead of the furious, blitzkrieg approach of the current “administration” and its congressional partners-in-crime.
The socialists, finding that they might not be succesful as locusts, will simply revert to being termites.
They are still pests that, for our survival, must be…controlled (at the least).
If anybody thinks the left wing of the dem party, which is pretty much the entire party, will move to the center now that Brown has won, think again. This is an excerpt of one of many posts on Daily Kos:
In fact on a Daily Kos poll, 94% of people polled said they want Dean back in charge of the dem party! Dean is almost left of Obama! But this is what these a-holes think is the solution. Looking good for November for Repubs/conservatives.
It’s time to face the facts … Progressives want tyranny.
His ears are ‘packed’ with his colossal ego.
The GOP should not forget who brought them this victory………
You know, I never realized what a left-wing progressive Garrison Keilor is, but I guess if you associate with PBS for decades… His comments on conservatives and the tea party movement betray a total lack of understanding. Do these people even know any average Americans? I’m thinking no.
He is a dangerous fool…a dangerous minion/puppet.
I couldn’t agree more. We need to incrementally undo the damage that leftist incrementalism has imposed upon us. There’s a lot of work ahead.
What a wonderful surprise this was, thanks to the hard work and resourcefulness of many.
So now what?
I think brace ourselves for government Job Creation Ver.2.0
Its the only way they can get re-elected, and they will want to use additional debt to pay for it.
Dumb Question?
Since this was a “special election” is Brown only in until November 2010 at which point another Dem could get elected?
Obama is a hard-core Communist. Make no mistake about that. He MUST have his health care plan in order to install his Marxist takeover.
Remember, he even had a Chairman Mao Christmas ornament. Any freedom loving President would have thrown such a thing in the trash.
No. He goes to 2012.
Something I think will keep up the momenum is, whatever the next far-left hairbrained idea is, for everyone to keep firing off those letters, e-mails, phone calls and faxes, even more than before!!
Not because they will work, they haven’t yet, but because they expose the refusal to listen to their constituents by the majority of Congress. The arrogance and stubborness and just plain bone-headedness of our so-called “representatives”, readies the opposition, (us), for the next election and fires us up to kick the bastards out….So, if you believe your communications are having no effect, just remember how much you can not wait to get to the polls to fire the incumbant who would not listen.
Don’t let up…………….
I’m not concerned that the Democrats/leftist will suddenly see the light and start spouting conservatism, or even moderation. They continue to blame their candidates (with good reson, of course) and not their message for their many recent losses. Let them. It will work to our advantage in November and in the future. The crucial thing for us is to not lose our fighting edge after a couple of wins. There’s a long fight ahead, and we’re going to lose a lot of the battles along the way.
Problem being, just because he didn’t run on social issues doesn’t mean he won’t vote on them.
It will be interesting to see the tightrope Brown walks the next 4 years. Despite last night’s election, Massachusetts is still pretty liberal. How much can Brown afford to vote straight line Republican? And if he were to break on something important, how long will the good feeling, and support, of the Tea Party crowd linger?
Michelle, thank you for introducing Scott Brown to Mr. ‘K’ and me. We donated right after reading your post and stayed glued to the campaign right up through our beer/wine toast last night.
We won’t follow blindly but do look forward to future introductions.
If you noted in his acceptance speech, he didn’t mention the word Republican that I can recall. He did refer to the independent vote and seemed to include himself in that.
If he votes his constituents wishes and represents the people and doesn’t march in lock step with the left or the right, he might have a chance of remaining a senator for awhile. Unlike Senator’s Warner and Webb in Virginia who ran as centrists but have voted with the liberal left pretty much every time. Once he veers either way, he could be in trouble.
Almost every Senator likes to think of themselves as independent, whether they are or not. We shall see, but his recent record as a legislator indicated voting with the House leadership 96% of the time. I would be curious to know what that 4% was made up of.

Except when you’re against the will of the people in California’s Prop 8 (or anywhere else traditional marriage is upheld), then it’s anything goes. You can’t have it both ways (pardon the pun).
Chap, good point.
The thing is Scott Brown is not a conservative.
Well, maybe by Mass standards.
He is certainly much better for the country than Coakley and the Socialist agenda
What this election did is give a chance to slow things down until the country can be taken back
City Hall is not the bedroom.
I am absolutely euphoric today! Walking on air! Thank you God! I know our work has just begun. I know the crapweasels in DC will try every corrupt trick in the book to get their way. But for today, I am going to walk on air and smile all day! The people are waking up and will not go back to sleep! Patriots 4, Progressive 0. I prayed for a decisive win so there would not be the nightmare we suffered here in Minnesota with Coleman vs Franken. God was definitely listening!
Can you hear us now?
That is a truism. He did not run on foreign policy either, yet he will vote on it. The point is, social issues did not matter, or that issue is less important than what affects each of us – taxes and spending.
Thought the tea baggers were about spending and taxing, and big government, not about social issues. If that leap is made, the tea baggers loose. Sen elect Brown did not mention social issues. Social issues are far more divisive, he recognized that and avoided campaigning on that issue.
Wow.
Brown wins.
This is huge.
But word is that the White House will try to “double down” and try to force through health care anyhow.
1) It won’t work.
2) Obama will make himself so unpopular by doubling down that he will find himself at absolute political war with a solid majority of the country.
3) He will try to use executive orders, regulatory/bureaucratic edicts, and a corrupt Justice Department to force through leftist changes in all sorts of areas of daily life. In short, he will become more openly authoritarian. This means we are in for some rocky times. This man is playing for keeps, and he is not a small ‘r’ republican at heart. He is an Alinskyite. Power is everything to him. All who believe in limited government must gird up our loins, because (sorry for the cliches) Barack Obama will not go gentle into that good night.

Stopped by Daily Kos this morning for the entertainment value. Great weeping and gnashing of teeth.
OT, but also entertaining. A stunning poll result in Kossack land.
LOL Axelrod was grinding his teeth so hard this morning it’s a wonder he wasn’t only gums.
who are the ‘tea baggers’? Seattle grunge latte drinkers? San Fran leather steeds? Miami hanging chadettes?
Another bad day today for this bho. TSA Southers resigns today. Things are not going well for this bho! I am so happy Scott won. Thank every single voter in MA who voted for Scott!
L
Have you ever been to a Tea party rally? I have. There are PLENTY of social issues being discussed.
“I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING” scorched earth obamalytes. do you hear the “teabagging” movement now?
Bring.it.on, obomba! We are on to you. You can’t slither around in the dead of night any more and cover up who you really are. The light is shining on you. You and your little BUGS are scattering, but you can no longer hide your true mission…to change this beautiful, free republic into a third world country. You are going down, and hopefully, going to jail where you and your ilk belong…traitor!
Exactly Happy!
We’ve slowed the freight train down but it’s still going in the same direction (left). Over the decades, leftward ho!
Bipartisan negotiations (when there were any) have only slowed the creeping growth of liberalism/progressivism. How about the same strategy to turn the tables if conservatives take the house and senate. Introducing libertarian or far right style bills and openly having bipartisan negotiations. That way we creep back toward the right.
Gotta turn the train around.
Now to get rid of the Czars!!!!!
We Own The Dome!!!!!
Remember the left/progressives do not quit. There is never a “win” that means the battle is over. We must keep busy, keep working, keep hope alive. This is but one step in a long journey. It is a time for rejoicing now doubt. But the battle is not over.
We on the right have made the mistake before thinking a matter is settled by an election or the passing of a bill. The left/progressives do not think like that. We must keep growing and moving forward.
The citizens of Massachusetts are finally paying Teddy back for the special treatment he got during the 40 years since Chappaquiddick.
Although Brown continually thanked independents and never mentioned tea partiers, I think we gained a modicum of respect from liberals. I think the “tea bagger” reference will be used less as they now know just how mad and successful we can be.
Correct.
They are exactly like water flowing downhill, or like ants or other pests trying to get into one’s house.
Um, no.
A “backlash against Republican obstructionism” would have been a blowout for the Dem. Resign, sir. You are too stupid to be in Congress.
Yeeeessss… Bateman. Prepare the
victimCongressman for the “special’ cleanse.Respect?
Nope.
Will never happen.
That word is not in their vocabulary; that concept is not in their worldview.
Now fear, maybe…and that would be a good thing.
Never forget that the socialists/fascists are allied with the muslim savages that are warring against Western Civilization.
All they understand – all – is power.
The destruction to this country and its institutions that Obama has been able to accomplish in one year is staggering. Note the unpleasant graphic at the top of MM’s column. That is where we are heading. That will be his legacy.
A number of the know-it-all pundits over at NRO are saying in essence that Obama will now become Mr. Centrist like Clinton(!) and thus pave the way for his easy re-election on 2012. I have my doubts. My own sense is that given the hatred for America he absorbed from Ayers-Wright-Alinsky, he will not be in a pragmatic mode (he doesn’t know how, people!) but will plot his revenge against a nation that now appears to have rejected him. He will do everything he can to bring it down with him.
Perhaps Obamacare was the democrat’s Stalingrad — but the national socialists were able to keep on destroying for over two years afterwards. There wasn’t much left of Germany at the end of it.
Today’s “teabaggers” are the new minutemen/militia of yesterday. The British had contempt for them, back then, and regretted it. The democrats today, are making the same mistake.
I’m still waiting for a least one Democrat to say something like, “gee maybe the people of the country don’t want socialism”. Those idiots are in denial and are hopelessly inept. November can’t come fast enough.
He himself (BHO) will do nothing.
He is merely a minion, a cipher, a puppet.
He does nothing.
But, about his handlers/controllers…you are correct.
Let us beware. The threat now will be Marxism hidden in the details of 1000+ page bills that no one has read. The bills must be read.
Does this church have a 501 c 3 and won’t it be in danger of losing it due to partisan politics from the pulpit?
Kind of makes one glad that Obama does not have his civilian military force in place as yet….I think we would have some sort of “national emergency” and the LWWG would declare a national emergency….LWWG? the name of this new civilian force…Liberal Wennies With Guns.
Will never happen.
They are dangerous idiots, who make clear with each passing day that they don’t like America.
Amen.
man, I just went to the Keillor article and read the comments. I must have read twenty and every last one was critical of Garrison. He is getting no support in this Chicago paper for his “look down his nose” opinion. America is wide awake this AM!
Like so many things in America today, that only applies to conservatives. Leftists can preach from the pulpit all day, everyday.
They’re never going to say anything like this. They will spin to their last breath, trying to keep us away from the truth of their complicity in the destruction of our republic.
It amazes me that liberals can hold up an apple and spin it to make you believe you’re seeing an orange.
I’m tired of all their lies.
For the first time in a year I can see people are alive with freedom! It was worrisome that our leaders (R & D) were galloping off a cliff full speed and taking our country with it. Also if this election was not a referendum on health care, Obummer, Big Spending and tyranny why was Scott Brown’s campaign slogan “I will be the 41st vote”.? I am so proud to be an American–Zowieeee!
This is a brighter day! Doesn’t hurt that “global warming” hysteria is also on the wain. We may just win this war!
