Eyeful in Gaza

Been there. Smart Alec Baldwin. Pure fantasy accounting. Tea time in D.C. Plus more.

(Page 3 of 4)

“We will be checking the results in 2012, Barack, and holding you accountable.”

Bwahaha.

Everyone knew Obama was a socialist going into the voting booth and they voted for socialism. As much a liar as he is, Obama is delivering on his socialism which Bush made respectable when he lunged for his manual on central planning from the institute for advanced economic studies published by the CCCP.

The zeitgeist of the age — given to us by left-wing educational institutions — is control and feudalism. You all gave away your freedom and you will never get it back.

Please. Don’t insult my intelligence. Baby boomers = baby intelligence = totalitarianism.

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Rush to Rush:

To cover some of the Rush-bashing ‘conservatives,’ I have a new term for you (not new, actually, but historically often with a religious connotation): ‘conservative’ scrupulosity.
Samuel R. Walker 

The current Obama “Enemies List” indicates both fear and fecklessness. They see their policies failing and can only think to attack private citizens who offer opposing views. I don’t mean to add a vindictive note but liberals rode anti-Iraq war sentiment into power and are now 100% accountable. Neither Rush, nor Santelli nor even the estimable Mr. Tyrrell hold elected office nor design public policy. The hard left in America has craved the actual power they now hold for decades, they have undermined every battle fought and profited at every victory earned to promote their statist agenda. It matters not who they attack or why. They will now bear the righteous wrath of a nation imbued with centuries of human freedom. Brace yourselves for the Great Reckoning. It has been a long time coming and shall wash away this malignant arrogance from our polity. Rush Lives.

IT’S IN THE (TEA) BAG
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s Gandhi for Capitalists

Jeffrey Lord gives us a timely history lesson, using the examples of Adams, Gandhi, and Martin, and one all Americans should heed. However, his imagined “morning in America” scenario is but a pleasant fiction. America is just too big and heterogeneous for such to occur. And let’s not forget that not everyone is alarmed at the growing power and intrusiveness of government. For one thing, about half of all Americans now pay little or no income tax. What is there for them to worry about? Slightly higher gasoline tax? For another, perhaps 15-20% of Americans are true liberals (in the modern context) and are happy to see bigger government.

Mr. Lord does seem to suggest that the solution must come from outside normal political channels, and it is difficult to argue with that. From the thirties onward, what has been accomplished within those channels? Even Ronald Reagan couldn’t turn back the tide, although perhaps he held it at bay for several years.

What is needed, then, is a solution (1) not utilizing the extant political system; (2) which can start with smaller numbers of involved individuals, where action can be coordinated, and then gather momentum; and (3) will force Federal acquiescence in some form or other.

The folks most involved here are those who have always played by the rules: Purchased homes they knew they could afford, paid their mortgages on time, paid their taxes, never scammed anyone, never “flipped” anything, never defaulted, but worked long, hard hours and asked in return only to be allowed to live their lives and raise their families. They are the ones facing financial bondage and slavery, as the Lord of Redistribution levels his gaze on them. They will have to figure out what to do, or not.

David Reich (no relation to Robert I pray) is dead on.

I expand upon the Marxist president obama's actions so far in light of the rule book from which The Messiah is reading, Alyinsky's Rules for Radicals. Does any of this ring a bell?

1, Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (Warning of catastrophe, chaos, depression, malaise...the currency of obama and his henchmen). Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address)

2, Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. Witness: the full frontal attacks on Rush Limbaugh and earlier, Sarah Palin.

3, Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

4, Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize) (Do all the rapid-fire trillion-dollar congressional appropriations now make sense?)

5, The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. (create doomsday scenarios...buzzwords, "crisis, catastrophic."

Folks, you are seeing The Plan in action.

The results will be the same, because it's the same type of people who is trying to create WIII, they too were Bankers too.

All they do is keep creating the sampe plots because they work. High Unemployment, then they will be rounding people up, for their FEMA death Camps.

Nazis are back in full swing. Buy all the guns but you'll not be able to buy any bullets.

Obama is the Judas, Hitler was the Jewdas the last time. What is happening in Gaza will be happening on Americas street soon.
