Maybe the Obama administration can get the Black Panthers to "ride herd" on these geriatric "Astro-turfers".... that is...if they can spare them from their usual duties as official democrat Poll Watchers.

You know....being the threat to democracy that these old people obviously are, it's going to be so much tidier once we can give them all a pain pill and just let them die off!

I am one of the geriatric "Astro-turfers" and have lived long enough to have seen and understand much of what has happened since the 40s. It has been downhill since the FDR/LBJ era. Today's left promises far more than we have had and smells like Orwell's 1984. This time is plainly out in the open with a substantial percentage of our Congress and American people all for it. Unfortunately, much of the people who voted for this did not know of him, didn't want to know, and merely listened to the promises of free everything.

I saw the youtube video of the SEIU thugs (brownshirts?) in Missouri and was appaled. I thne read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's story on it where they implied it was the "astroturfers" who became violent and then they quoted a prgression of Democrats and leftists decrying the "violent" anti-health protesters and implied they were organized by the Republicans. I saw "organized" SEIU thugs (they were wearing SEIU t-shirts for goodness sake) beating private citizens who were shut out of a town hall meeting run by Mel Carnahan (I think it was). I saw it with my own two eyes!

Turning in dissenters to the government via a website? Uniformed thugs (SEIU) beating up concerned citizens for dissent? Folks, this is no longer "soft tyranny;" this is tyranny!

1935 translation of this missive:

Dear ReichMinister Heydrich:

Please do something to prosecute the thuggish behavior exhibited by the Storm Troopers. They are especially brutal to the innocent Jews around town who are doing nothing more than operating their businesses.

Thank you for your kind attention...
(NOT)

We live in a truly messed up world and there is little justice to it anymore.

There seems to be one tiny detail omitted: Unlike the German people--WE ARE ARMED! It won't be quite so easy for these American fascists.

Great request, Quin, but your odds of success in getting it granted are slim and none. it is at Holder's/Obama's directions that this union thuggery is now happening [ie THE CHICAGO WAY]. The ONLY SOLUTION for this and every other problem now facing America is the upcoming elections of 2010 and 2012, and I just hope that Americans are preparing for same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They might get away with that union crap up north, but you won't see that in the south where a gun rack comes with each new car. And Florida doesnt count as the south, it's called Southern New York.

Great posts, guys. Thanks!

Pardon my bad typing...I have been busy painting a target on my own back and my arms are tired.
Stay tuned here...the calvary is coming, TEAM!

Thuggery is as thuggery does.

May we have a comment from Forest Gump?

May we have a comment from strangely
quiescent HollowWood as well.
