Tea Partiers vs. Obama’s Zombies
Two new books set up the showdown.
There are two kinds of political movements, the trendy (Single Tax, Grangers, No Nukes) and the transformational (New Left, Moral Majority, 1970s Tax Revolt). In the aftermath of transformational mass movements, politics is never the same. Whereas the trendy movement reflects a snapshot in time, the transformational movement leaves an imprint that outlasts its time.
Two new books by conservative authors offer history-as-it-happens takes on two seemingly transformational, albeit conflicting, mass movements. New Human Events editor Jason Mattera’s Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation dissects the president’s spell over young people, while Boston radio host Michael Graham tackles the tea-party movement in That’s No Angry Mob, That’s My Mom: Team Obama’s Assault on Tea-Party, Talk-Radio Americans.
In case the title or arresting drone-like images on its cover didn’t give away the author’s political sympathies, Obama Zombies liberally invokes Barack Obama’s middle name and employs a thesaurus of insults — “throne sniffers,” “schmuck,” “thug,” “dork,” “toolbag,” “girly boy,” “nitwit” — when speaking of the president or his votaries. It is catharsis through reading for those awaiting January 20, 2013 as impatiently as the Bush Haters awaited January 20, 2009.
Obama Zombies is surprisingly then at its best when praising rather than bashing Barack Obama. Especially instructive is the section on the Obama campaign’s exploitation of new media for votes, donations, and publicity. Mattera relays that Obama’s Facebook Friends outnumbered John McCain’s by almost 4-1, his website’s unique visitors in the week leading up to the election beat the Republican’s by more than 3-1, his campaign videos on YouTube bested his opponent’s by more than 5-1, and his Twitter followers dwarfed the Arizona senator’s by roughly 23-1. Mattera’s point is that Obama’s thrashing of McCain among young people wasn’t just for the superficial reason that the Republican was old enough to be the father of his opponent (who, it should be remembered, was old enough to be the father of most first-time voters). Barack Obama communicated to young people through the media in which they communicate. They communicated their approval by voting for him.
Though conservatives can learn from Obama’s thrashing of them on style points in the 2008 election, they can win young people over with substance in upcoming elections. Mattera sees ObamaCare as a generational wealth transfer, in that caps on insurance premiums for older Americans necessarily boost the premiums of younger Americans. The national debt, which, if current trends prevail, will be greater during an eight-year Obama presidency than during the constitutional regime’s 219 preceding years, sits as a weighty burden upon the shoulders of Generation Y.
Unemployment, which the stimulus package promised to rein in, has gotten more out of control since the passage of the spending bill. The pain is felt acutely by young people, whose unemployment rate is higher than the national average. The “Obama Zombies” whose first votes were cast for a better future ironically now face the bleakest job prospects for college graduates in decades.
“The numbers aren’t looking good,” Mattera concedes. “The GOP is getting older, and younger voters are aligning with liberal candidates.” As Obama offered young people change, Mattera’s message is that conservatives must change tactics if they wish to win young people back.
The Tea Parties are in part a reaction against the success of the “Obama Zombies,” though the runaway spending they rail against certainly predated Barack Obama’s arrival in the White House (or even in Washington). However tempting it would be to see Mattera’s “Obama Zombies” as photographic negatives of Graham’s fellow tea partiers, the equation of an issue-driven movement with a personality-driven movement doesn’t compute.
“Every president has spoken out against his rivals,” Michael Graham posits in That’s No Angry Mob, That’s My Mom. “But I can’t think of another president who treated typical citizens this way — not even Nixon, who at least confined his enemies list mostly to big-name political opponents. No administration before Obama’s has cried ‘Hater!’ and released the dogs of war upon the general population. Trashing politicians is good fun. But political attacks against the American people. That’s a new low.”
The template was evident on the campaign trail with the demonization of Joe the Plumber, the stereotyping of rural Pennsylvanians clinging to guns and religion, and the implication that New Hampshire primary voters cast ballots based on race and not the candidates. In governing, the Obama Administration predictably remains stuck in that mold in its rhetorical attacks on tea-party demonstrators. The script, the book hammers home, has been to paint Obama’s opponents as racist, fascist, terrorist, angry mobsters. The attacks on America’s most listened to radio show and America’s most watched cable news outlet are symptoms of the disease that That’s No Angry Mob, That’s My Mob lays out. As Graham vividly puts it, “You’re either with the plan, or in the Klan.”
The strategy of attacking the electorate may be suicidal as far as politics go, but as far as naming the enemy, the Obama Administration has theirs correct. The greatest impediment to its designs on issues from health care to Miranda rights for foreign terrorists has not been Washington opinion or media opinion. It has been public opinion.
In round one of Tea Partiers versus Obama Zombies, which took place last month at the U.S. Capitol, the Obama Zombies attained victory by extending health insurance benefits to 32 million uninsured Americans. Round two takes place this November in polling places across the country. The Obama Zombies’ victory in round one foreshadows their defeat in round two. The outcome of round three may determine which of these seemingly game-changing movements will be remembered as more trend than transformation.

As is well known in the ducation establishment from K thru PHDs there is more ideological learning that actual academic learning and even academic learning is tained by politics ( Climatology for example )
From first hand experience as a student in a large state university system I can testify the following observations:
1) Dumbing down course material
2) Tolerating cheating on large scale levels
3)Politics is routinely shown in extra-curricular and in class experiences.
4)Denying any ideas other than LEFT ideas. etc.
I took one class in the area of Meteorology and the Instructor was totally fixaed on the "Man made global warming theory" as the basis for his course.
Another anecdote: in a student lounge a substitute teacher bragged about how she told her students how bad this country really was and felt good about doing it.
These are not rare occurences-but routine. . So what can we expect ?
So my view is this: The the university is going to enter politics, then the way to refute them s politically--Once conservative oriented governments come into power--hopefully-basically impose a requirement of " free speech" on every educational entity in a state. A no -tolence of threats,physical violecne etc.

JimH| 4.9.10 @ 8:00AM
Obamacare like Social Security is generational theft. They both take from the young to pay for the old. Implicit was that when the current young got old they could then do it in turn to the new generation. Demographics being what they are, like any Ponzi scheme, we are running out of suckers to exploit. This may actually be an implicit reason for the push to normalize all the illegals. They would provide a bigger (albeit insufficient) tax base.
loulou| 4.9.10 @ 11:47AM
The illegals would provide VOTES, not revenue.
Nobama| 4.9.10 @ 1:34PM
Ridiculous. Talk about wishful thinking! Illegals are a huge drain on our resources, and will be more so if they're normalized. Now, that's theft!
Purpleguy| 4.9.10 @ 6:09PM
So, young-un, do you not have Grandma or Mama on Social Security & Medicare? How would it be theft if you are paying their way? And, don't blame the recipients of either - blame the Congress who didn't leave the money alone in the Trust Funds to pay for your future. And, that certainly includes the Republicans who never pay for anything, just charge it! Shut up and pay your share ... elect people that will protect your share .. that is all. Obamacare my foot ... has nothing to do with it.

1loosewire| 4.9.10 @ 10:53PM
Back when SS was enacted people didn't live as long as they do now therefore the projected costs were way off in comparison to real costs. How surprising is that? A government run program that costs more than is projected. BTW I wouldn't have grandma or mama on on SS if our money wasn't stolen from us every paycheck to pay for other people on SS, medicare or every other entitlement. They would have been able to save enough to take care of themselves in their later years. You see conservative people can and do take care of themselves and their families when they are not completely drained of all their earnings by the government who gives it to people that didn't have the foresight to prepare for their futures. I could invest my money and do much better for myself than the gov. can if they would just quit taking my money " for my own good" and let me prepare for my future!
serge baruch| 4.10.10 @ 11:41PM
To Purple Hammer and Sickle:
You certainly think yourself a wit, asking "How would it be theft if you are paying (your Grandma's or Mom's) way?" Their Grandma and Mom paid taxes all their lifes, which illegals don't and have no intention to do. Forcing US citizens to pay their way is a theft.

Rather than worrying about spending $17 billion a month on 2 failed wars, one based on complete horseshit, or worrying about who's going to pay for the $16 trillion in backdoor bank bailouts, some would rather worry about saving $80 billion in 10 years, and another trillion there after. Worried about saving money...Wow.

Although, he then claimed it was a mistake That it was actually $425 million, but he offered no source. Just his deeply flawed memories.

If the Dem government is planning to "save" (meaning "not spend") so much money, why are they all abuzz about hitting us with a VAT tax?
For the Dems, "saving" money means draining more from the taxpayers. Whenever Dems use the term "fiscal responsibility," it means they're reaching for your wallet.
Over the past year, government at all levels has continued to ADD employees and INCREASE pay. Then they whine "unsustainable!" and squeeze more from the actual producer---who are becoming poorer and fewer because Dems have no respect for producers. They prefer the takers, because the takers vote Dem.

Obama is destroying this country from within and he is not qualified to be president. The time has come for the President to perform his duty to THIS country and show us his birth certificate. No certificate? Then all of these constitutional crimes go away; the czars, healthcare, all of it. There are too many questions, too many doubts and he has been dodging far too long. Where there is smoke there is fire. The more people that begin asking for the proof, the less he and the major broadcast networks will be able to ignore us as they have done with so many other issues. If there is the slightest doubt in your mind then you too need to be asking. We have let the seemingly small things go and look where that has taken us. I want to talk about it because they are in cover-up mode. It would be such an easy thing for any one of us to show our birth certificate. Why is it so difficult for him? Why does he treat this country as if he is ashamed of it? Why does he treat our allies as if they are enemies? Why does he encourage Congress to ignore the will of the people? Why did his wife refer to his home country as Kenya? Why will he not release his own school records? Why does he disgracefully bow to the leaders of other countries? Why does he admire dictators from other countries? This is Obama’s Watergate. There is no need to impeach someone who is not qualified to be president. Everything he has signed, ordered, or acted upon is illegal. So I ask you Mr. President: WHERE IS YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Louis Jenkins| 4.9.10 @ 2:52PM
Yes, Pretender n Chief. Where is your birth certificate?
Dixie Pixie| 4.9.10 @ 7:14PM
We will see the birth certificate after Obama leaves office, not before.
The reason why we will not see the all the documents is Obama has claimed to be a Nigerian and/or a Muslim when it allowed him to exploit Liberal Mythology to get ahead both politically and socially.

Michael L. Hauschild| 4.9.10 @ 9:45AM
I am often amazed at the constant stream of “insight, analysis, and comparison” offered up by the punditry. But there are two essential reasons for the ascendance of the tea party, both often missed simply because there is no previous historical or parallel context.
1. No real leadership, none being needed to function. This is an external manifestation of the internet and the era of information; the smoke filled rooms of “party bosses” issuing decrees of “platform” is archaic and no different in tenor than the government spawned entitlement practices of influence peddling. Candidate selection by the “central committees” is no longer a “partisan” reward offered to insiders. Issues now drive the electorate and the Tea party crowd is the most politically astute coalition ever to come into existence. They do not need no stinking RNC.
2. The second, and most misunderstood, ramification of tea party viability is the decentralization of “follow the money” married to “all politics is local.” Previously monies were distributed to candidates two ways; foremost in influence was the centralized allocation through the “good old boy” mandates of national committees. Contributors had two choices, give nationally and relinquish both issue input and candidate preference or give locally. Their local selection often resulted in unfair competition with both their own National Headquarters AND the opposition party. This ended with the tea party mantra of supporting candidates directly; one only has to examine the donor pool of either Brown or Rubio to verify the ascendance of the “macro” constituency trumping “official” hierarchical exclusiveness in primary selection.
Issue driven by the most basic of democratic principles of smaller government, federalist leanings, and personal freedom, unbowed by dictatorial national committees, financially independent with the contributor base exhibiting a “national” awareness of candidacy selection, and nearly instantaneously communicative, the tea party is a force to be reckoned with.
Ken (Old Texican)| 4.9.10 @ 4:54PM
Michael,
You nailed it. Splendid analysis.
davelnaf| 4.9.10 @ 10:32AM
Obama and his acolytes’ use of dehumanizing language against perceived opponents is a very significant indicator of how far they are out of the American mainstream. Did they do this out of an earnest conviction about the character of the political opposition or was it a political tactic? Either way it says a lot about them and much more than what they want people to know.

I am not as confident about the 2010 midterm elections as I would like to be. A lady caller from Missouri to the Rush Limbaugh Show summed it up better than I had: "Why aren't they afraid of us?" I had been thinking all along about what could their Plan B be.
1. Comments have mentioned the education system, and alluded to the absolute complicity of nearly all mainstream media.
2. Our side is now reduced to handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution, like New Testaments in the old Soviet Union: yeah, it works, but it takes too long.
3. Keynesianiam in this day and age can't be heartfelt: it has to be mere cover for the real agenda, which, I submit, is the Cloward-Pliven Strategy on steroids.
4. With their ramming-through socialized medicine, they've broken cover. Our side needs to hammer over and over what this really is, namely, socialized medicine. At the very least, we need to say if that's what they want to do, they need to change the Constitution.
5. Obviously, once you've attained the third degree of enlightenment, the Constitution is irrelevant. What's much more pertinent is election fraud:
http://tinyurl.com/m5p6l
It gave them their 60th senator in Al Franken. Mark Ritchie is the Secretary of State from ACORN, not Minnesota.

Cold Warrior | 4.9.10 @ 11:49AM
The conservative Tea Partiers are missing the boat. They don't yet realize they could TAKE OVER the Republican Party if they, en masse, INVADED IT. They have sufficient numbers to fill up all the vacant precinct committeemen slots -- HALF of these slots were VACANT in the 2008 election cycle. If they occupied all the empty slots, joining the conservatives already in the Party, they'd create a solid 75 per cent conservative majority within the Party. Which means they'd be able to replace all the RINO leaders with CONSERVATIVE LEADERS. If you want to CHANGE the Republican Party, conservatives, you have to get INSIDE IT. Become a voting member of it. At the grass roots level. As a precinct committeeman. But that means actually going to a monthly GOP meeting. And maybe getting some signatures on a nominating petition. You know, basic civics stuff. Which no one seems to have a clue about.
Find out how here:

You can't play politics from the bleachers. Get into the real ball game. It's played at local GOP meetings. By precinct committeemen.

Jason Mattera calling anyone zombieswould be, considering he works for the Washington Times (ie. owned by Moonie-in-chief Sun Yung Moon,) hilarious irony, if it weren't so pathetic.
There's nothing most young people like more than being told how dumb they are by a fatuous, race-baiting chickenhawk like Jason Mattera. (He who was too busy fighting the "culture war" to ever consider serving in Iraq.)
Yeah - I saw video of the local "Tea Party Express" just today. A bunch of silly middle-aged and old white people mumbling Fox News talking points (badly) in an incoherent slur.
If reichwing conservatives like Mattera or Graham think that reading Sarah Palin and John Boehner's moronic Tweets is likely to endear a generation of young people to their cause - they are sadly mistaken. Good luck with that nonsense.

Radegunda| 4.9.10 @ 4:45PM
When did he race-bait?
Oh, I get it. He opposed the POLICIES of Obama and Reid and Pelosi. Ergo, raaaacist.
Don't you realize how lame that sounds by now?
ChuckD| 4.9.10 @ 10:45PM
Drew is the very reason I stay conservative. His whole argument is based on hatred. It's as though he thinks that the more pejoratives he learns to call his enemies the smarter he is.
He is just like a school yard bully. You better think like Drew or he's going to call you names. He's going to say you are a racist, or say that you mumble or you're a Nazi, or worst of all, point out that you are-God forbid-a white person.
Let's try to see why what Drew says is true. Mattera is wrong for calling the leeches of society that support Obama's policies of redistributing wealth zombies because:
Sun Yung Moon owns the Washington Times and Mattera works for him. Hmm? Does that mean that Mattera is a Moonie and that he's trying to get conservatives to join his cult? If that's true we are in a lot of trouble. By the way what the hell does that have to do with Obama leeches being zombies.
What I mean is dear Drew, suppose you are correct in believing you liberal hyper fantasy about the WT and Moonies and Mattera. Think real hard and answer this question: How does the fact that Mattera being a Moonie shill negate the truth in his argument that all Obama zombies are societal leeches?
There's irony here? What the hell are you talking about?
I am conservative engineer who supports Israel and does not believe in Global warming. I worked for an Arab company designing inverters for Solar panels. I could have cared less about the owner’s religious or political beliefs as long as the check cleared.
Apparently Materra is not the only journalist who worked for the WT. The quote from below is from the Wikipedia.
"In addition to giving voice to stories that, as Pruden says, “others miss,” the Times plays an important role in Washington’s journalistic farm system. The paper has been a springboard for young reporters to jobs at The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, even the Post. Lorraine Woellert, who worked at the Times from 1992 to 1998, says her experience there allowed her to jump directly to her current job at Business Week. “I got a lot of opportunities very quickly. They appreciated and rewarded talent and, frankly, there was a lot of turnover.”[12]"
So now Moonie has journalist zombies working for him at the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and Business Week-and as we all know they make up the vast right wing conspiracy.
Then comes the term chicken hawk, my favorite. This is a guy who because he didn't actually serve in the war is a hypocrite because he supports his country when it sends others off to war.
Now this is what I call irony. Normally liberals either are people who avoided service and consider themselves brave for doing so, or, if they did serve, they regret it and consider their colleagues baby killers and murderers- a la Sen John F'in Kerry.
But if, like me, you served, and the only one whoever shot at you was a green MP guarding the wrong post at the wrong time. According to Drew, when your time is up and you get out, you are automatically restricted in your opinions concerning the war.
You're right to free speech is hereby revoked. That’s ironic. The champions of free speech are supposedly liberals. You can only be for the war, and not be a hypocrite, unless you also served in a war. Where’s that in the Constitution?
Again, there is no logic to this conclusion. Just as there is no logic contained within the opinions of Liberals. If there were, they would not be so quick to toss out pejoratives and ad hominem attacks.
Whether a war is justified or not has nothing to do with personal history or moral status of the person making the argument. The validity of the argument rests only on its logical consistency. If the guy who cooks my steak is a vegetarian, and the steak tastes good, I could care less. I eat the steak.
Is there anywhere in Drew’s hate filled diatribe any thoughts strung together which resemble an argument? No.
Liberals make up nametags for their opponents to avoid having to stretch their brains and make a cogent, logical, reasoned explanation as to why they are right and conservatives are wrong. They simply cannot do it.
I remember as a kid making fun of Ronald “Ray Guns” and laughing about Bedtime for Bonzo and all the rest. I thought that clown would never be President. The press and the liberal intelligentsia poured on the ridicule. Then came the recession with 22 percent inflation rates. Then came Afghanistan, Panama, Iran hostages, and the “Malaise Speech. Then next thing you know, at the young of 29, I was pulling the lever for Ron “the Don” and I never looked back. The problem we conservatives have with getting the youths to like us is the same problem for Liberals and socialists later.
Young people grow up, get a job, and then look at their paystub, and say “Yikes”.

Here's a questions for those of you on the right to consider: if Obama is such a tyrant, why hasn't he shut down the Oathkeepers / Patriot march coming up April 19th? A mass demonstration of armed right-wing opponents who see Obama as a militant Marxist and quite a few of whom who actually think he's the Antichrist... you'd think the "Obama Zombies" would put a stop to this wouldn't you? No, I don't think they will... there simply isn't a long history of left wing activists in America toting guns (yeah its been a little while since the Weather Underground and your buddy Bill Ayers).

The tinman has a point.

NavyBrat | 4.9.10 @ 1:23PM
I'm 31 years old. I'm the son of a conservative (politically, not religiously) Jewish Vietnam Navy vet. Both my parents were born in the mid-late 40's. THEY are the reasons I hold the views I do. Not Limbaugh, Fox, Hannity, Levin, Beck, Liddy, or anyone else. Yes, I listen to them because they talk about things in a contex that makes sense to me. I'm sure that my Dad never, in a million years (when he was still alive), would've thought that the country he defended would come to this.
The fellatious Obamabots like those described in Mattera's book, like our 2 resident putzes here at Am Spec, Comrades Jon B & Drew, are no better at thinking for themselves than Obama is at speaking extemporaneously. They get their daily talking points from the Daily Krap, Huff & Puffington Post, & other assorted tripe sites. There is NO variance in their screeds. They mirror each other EXACTLY, on EVERY SITE (here on Am Spec & on Townhall especially), no matter WHICH leftist puke is posting it. These people are about as original as Joe Biden lifting quotes from Neal Kinnick. While there are conservatives of different stripes, & it is possible to hear quite a few different takes on various issues, this seems to NEVER be the case with liberals. The template remains as old & tired as ever & we've all heard it:
"War bad, Reagan bad, Bush bad, capitalsim bad, corporations bad, profits bad, conservatives are Nazis (me & my Dad's personal favorite), blah, blah, blah."
But alas, the skipping CD is about to be changed by the public DJs... We The People. We just have to gut out the crappy playlist until November. Then we'll all be listening to the new Democrat/lefty theme song, written by an almost psychic Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Wall of Denial."
"The State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced." ... Henry David Thoreau
Radegunda| 4.9.10 @ 4:49PM
NavyBrat, I realized that I was conservative when I was at graduate school among lots of leftists, and they kept saying nonsensical things. What struck me as really weird was how self-described "liberals" were so enthusiastically supportive of, or at least apologetic for, vicious tyrannies.
Nobody knew about Rush Limbaugh; there was no (horrors!) Fox News.

I don't know if "liberalism" is a mental illness exactly.

Northern Rebel| 4.9.10 @ 1:39PM
For people like Jon B, and Ace, it is a bad idea to spend money destroying enemies that attacked our mainland, and slaughtered 3000 Americans, but it is OK to spend much more on unworkable programs that run our national debt even more out of control, and put us at the financial mercy of China, a nuclear power out to eliminate our world influence, and compromise our sovereign existance.
Then we have "President" Anti-Christ, and the socialist democrat party doing everything possible to undermine the war on Islamic fascism, and making us vulnerable by taking away our nuclear options.
The rules of engagement for our soldiers is unreasonably restrictive, otherwise we would have already wiped out the muslim scum that seeks to destroy us.
People like Ace, and Jon B won't be happy until we are a socialist failure like Greece, because they hate America, and the values we stand for.
Evil is, as evil thinks and does.The shoe fits squarely on the foot of meatballs like you two.

Hey, troll, whining because the government doesn't fix your problems is what left-Dems do. They're the ones who were looking for their "Obama-money," from his "stash." They thought he would pay their mortage, double their wages, give them "free" health care. etc.
Little did they know he intended to take away medical care, and send them into unemployment.

It is so tragic that we, the American people that opposed the Marxist regime, received the same consequence that the dumbie-zoombie-obami worshipers got.

Instead of receiving the money from the sky, they now find out that their future are in the handcuff that tied under the mountain of debt.

A poll released today showed that about 26% of the country supports the "tea baggers". That's typical.
26% is where the unhinged right has been for a long time. Factor out the states from the old Confederacy and it's more like 11%.
26% stuck with the corrupt failure of George W. Bush, right to the bitter end. 26% thinks Sarah Palin walks on water. 26% still thinks Saddam Hussein had WMD. 26% think all taxes should be abolished, and on and on and on.
Again, factor out the south, and factor out people over 70 and factor out white men who make a lot of money and play golf at private clubs and you're down to less than 10% of the population. But they are LOUD and post a lot on the Internet...

Where was all the conservative tea bagger outrage when Bush/Cheney and a Republican Congress lied us into the most expensive foreign policy debacle in history, more than doubled the national debt, made no provisions to pay for it, masterminded the biggest expansion of an entitlement program ( medicare prescription drug program, costing trillions) and over saw the largest expansion of government since the new deal? When republicans had complete control of every branch of government, this is what they accomplished. Any you lemmings still blindly follow.
suzanne Ferreira| 4.10.10 @ 7:49AM
Bush lied, kids died! But I forget JF Kerry actually voted for the war before he voted against it, or was it the other way around. The world trade center Bombing was a put up job by the Bush Cheney mafia in order to boost the military, or something like that.
Are you stuck in O's? You are the one who is drinking kool aid and you are the liar. You repeat party lines that you have know way of knowing whether or not they're true. Bush did not lie, "YOU LIE".
"masterminded the biggest expansion of an entitlement program" -yeah with the help and vote from more that half of the Democrats in both the House and Senate. So what is your point exactly?
I can't speak for all the Tea Party, but I voted for Bush in 04 because even though he was fiscally irresponsible, he didn't openly hate his country.
In 06, the Republicans lost the House and Senate, primarily because of the immigration issue and because of the beginnings of the bailouts-because of the expansion of entitlement programs.
Democrats have had control of the government since 06. Basically they've continued to march down the same road of economic destruction Bush started, only they are an order of magnitude higher. Instead of a half trillion in massive debt, it's sixteen trillion.
Voting for Obama is fiscally responsible for what reason? Because he funded his mandate with tax dollars? This is what you idiot liberals don't get. Just because the Government raises taxes does not mean that the Government revenues increase.
Quite the opposite. People will stop working. If more than half your check goes to someone else, you quit. Or even better, you join the other side and get a cozy job in the Government. The public sector is paying proportionally higher wages than the private sector for the same work now.
If you own your own business, you fire your employees. Why work so the government can take it from you and give it to those it thinks deserve it more than you? Isn't that a form of slavery?
The economy is going to tank even worse and tax revenues are already declining. California is bankrupt, Florida is next. LA is bankrupt.
Check the unemployment figures lately. Florida is a record 12.2%. And instead of worrying about how to get everybody back to work the only thing Obama and the left worry about is how to raise taxes and take over more of the economy.
It's not about the war -it's the economy stupid.

Again sir, check GAO NOT FOX! The debt was 5 trill when clinton left and there was a balanced budget and paygo legislation in place. As soon as the republicans had complete control of all branches, they began with budget deficits, dumped paygo and racked up another 6 trillion in debt before Bush left town, upping the debt to 11 trillion. These are facts and you will not get them from FOX or any republican. And my point is, to you who hides behind my name, that if the tea party is to have any credibility whatsoever, and be more than a trend, they need to disassociate themselves from both parties and run candidates who represent the values (if there are any) held by the members of the group. Otherwise, you are clearly just a bunch of angry white republican men who can't stand the fact there is an intelligent, educated, articulate black man in the white house.

Obama's unemployment is holding steady at about 10% with nearly 20% under-employed.

Underemployed and young, possibly shizo: Her ubiquity of posts and immature rants tell you something. This person is too stupid to adequately take care of herself. Also, this person appears to respond to her own posts with other monikers when the troll hammering gets brutal. Reminds me of this crazy bitch that lives in my neighborhood.

Where were the "Oathkeepers" when President Bush was wiretapping Americans without a warrant? Where were they when President Bush was signing his gazillion "Presidential signing statements" as opposed to using the veto? Why didn't they object when President Bush was bankrupting America by borrowing Chinese dollars to fight unnecessary wars? The truth is the Oathkeepers don't care much for the Constitution - what they care about is that Obama isn't white and isn't right wing enough.
Missy| 4.10.10 @ 3:04PM
The Oathkeepers weren't necessary when Bush was President because he's not a communist like Obamao. And you're wrong, clown--Obamao is 1/2 white; he's 1/2 white Marxist.
I didn't worry about my liberty when GWB was in office, but I am VERY worried about my liberty now.

The Democrats have this "enemies list" - denominated in epithets aimed at the people whose wallets they wish to hijack and take up residence inside. You can be a ‘Racist!’ and you can be a ‘Homophobe!’ and you can be a ‘Teabagger!’ - a homosexual man taking his partner's testicles into his mouth. You can be ‘Selfish!’ and you can be a ‘Hick!’ and you can be a ‘Rube!’ You can be a ‘Right-wing-nut!’ and you can be "Unenlightened!" and you can be a ‘Fascist!’ - altho' no one more closely approaches the precise description of ‘Fascist!’ than the usual Demo propagandist - either official, or self-appointed.
So all you have to do to occupy multiple epithets on the Demos' enemies list is to insist that they take their hands off yourself, off your wallet, off your property, off your kids, off your car, off your weapons of self-defense, off your liberty, and off your freedom of speech. Insist on all these good things - and that qualifies you to be spat upon by nasty, mean-spirited Democrats who regard their right to do this as just another entitlement of The Friends of All Mankind --- by a gang of lying, thieving, sticky-fingered, bloodsxcking, predatory humanitarian thugs. No political party in the history of America more profoundly deserves absolute and outright destruction.

The left is using the Alinsky method of isolating, demonizing and then destroying his enemies. Did I predict this? Yes, thirteen years ago when I wrote a draft manuscript, a political thriller set in 2015, called "REVOLT" (www.revoltthebook.com). The story is about a small community which refuses to knuckle under to one more aggressive federal intrusion. Isolated and demonized by the President and the MSM. The people are forced to fight for their survival against a violent attack. The character of the President was developed as a young man, narcissistic, driven by monsters from his troubled youth and broken home, he is convinced he is destined to rule the nation and is executing a plot to overthrow the country.
What is striking is he was supposed to be a work of fiction. Clinton on steroids. But what was supposed to be a work of fiction is now becoming a history text. What the left is doing now is what I feared would happen if they were given the chance and 2008 did just that.
Be vigilant and read the book if you want to see one possible outcome to the crisis we all face together.

The Obama Zombie Influenza or "OZ-1 Virus" is a contagious mental disorder caused by exposure to liberal/socialist doctrine. Recently, the OZ-1 virus has been as devastating to American minds as smallpox was to the Native American population. The OZ-1 Virus has created legions of the brain dead, infecting both young and old, man or woman, and plebian or celebrity. Every person is susceptible to the virus since the entire population experiences varying levels of exposure to this ideology due to the distribution of these pathogens by the mainstream media; however infection spreads rapidly through liberal breeding grounds such as college campuses and Northeastern cities. Direct contact does not necessarily cause infections, individuals that are well educated on the founding principles of America, fundamentals of the free market, and fiscal/behavioral responsibilities are easily able to fight off infection. Due to similar symptoms, the OZ-1 virus is often misdiagnosed as dementia or mental retardation during the early stages of an infection. Containment and treatment of this virus has become tricky since rapid culling of all infected or exposed individuals has been deemed to be an "unethical" first line of defense. checkout http://www.donationruse.com/ObamaZombie.html

Funny how you people are reduced to name calling when you are confronted with the facts.
