The Largest Job-killing, family killing, economy-killing Tax increases are looming.
1/1/11.
But the Democrats are frozen with fear. If they vote to keep the tax cuts they can’t play their Class Warfare envy card,It’s worked for them for decades and gotten them a lot of power, and their base of mindless sheep will sheer them if they do.
They have whole generations of people that are slaves to to their will.
They like that. They want more of that.
But they know it will hurt them politically if they let them them expire.
They know, intrinsically, how much damage it will do.
So they try to mitigate it by trying to have their cake and eat it too.
We’ll only raise them on “the rich”. After all, the class envy weapon is one of their favourites.
Fear, jealousy, envy,greed, dependence. They love them all.
Problem is, that isn’t working either.
So, let’s do absolutely nothing before the election. Then we can give everyone Lame Duck Poisoning.
And it won’t matter. At least to them.
Now, that’s REAL Leadership!
YES WE CAN! DO NOTHING!
FEAR IS HOPE
With just weeks to go before the midterm elections, Americans have made it clear they don’t want their taxes raised. So what do congressional Democrats do? Nothing — at least until the elections are over. For months, Democrats have hammered Republicans for trying to keep President Bush’s tax cuts in place for everyone, not just the middle class and those who no longer pay taxes. That would be a “giveaway to the rich,” they contend. But guess what? Most Americans don’t see it that way. In a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics Poll, 63% want the Bush-era tax cuts — now set to expire at year-end — to remain in place. In the latest IBD/TIPP Poll, 48% favor making the cuts permanent vs. 30% opposed. And as for taxes on the rich, an AP-GfK Poll found that 39% support letting taxes go up only on those earning over $250,000, but 44% oppose the idea. Hence, the Democrats’ dilemma: Either way they vote, they’ll anger a large chunk of the electorate — at a time when they need all the votes they can get to keep from being swept out of power. So rather than hold an up-or-down vote on a tax bill that reflects their true beliefs, Democrats are postponing any action until after the elections. Obviously they know that what they really want to do will be wildly unpopular, and perhaps cost them seats. But Americans know what they want, too, and they’ll see through the politics Democrats are playing with the economy at a time we can least afford it. If they’ve decided to hike taxes during a lame-duck session of Congress after the election, they sure shouldn’t keep it secret. If people feel lied to during the election, they won’t be very happy. Democrats need to let their intentions be known — or face the wrath of the voters later. If they think they can raise taxes on everyone or slap the “rich” with higher taxes and get away with it, they might be surprised. Ultimately, this will be a politically self-defeating strategy, making their far-left voter base happy but sacrificing middle-of-the-road Democrats who want to see the economy create jobs again. Taxing the rich sounds good on paper or as a sound-bite in the left-dominated mainstream media, but it’s the rich who create businesses and do most of the hiring in this country. Tax these entrepreneurs and you tax jobs — the last thing we need after losing 8 million in three years. As economist Curtis Dubay of the Heritage Foundation has noted, tax hikes on the rich “will slow down economic growth and job creation while the economy struggles to recover from a steep recession . .. (and) will hurt Americans at all income levels.” Running a standard econometric model, Dubay estimates that letting taxes rise just on the rich, as President Obama and Senate Democrats propose, will cost the economy 7 million jobs over the next decade — and nearly $720 billion, or $6,000 per household, in income. That’s an awful price to pay for envy. Before voting this fall, Americans should pin down their representatives on where they stand on tax cuts. Republicans have put out their Pledge to America, so you know what they stand for. What about the Democrats? (IBD)
And As if that wasn’t enough, The Democrats have decided on an Armageddon strategy as well, poisoning the well.
Leave nothing behind.
Unleash The Democrat A-Bomb.
The Ad-Hominem Bomb.
NewYork Times- WASHINGTON — Democratic candidates across the country are opening a fierce offensive of negative advertisements against Republicans, using lawsuits, tax filings, reports from the Better Business Bureau and even divorce proceedings to try to discredit their opponents and save their congressional majority. Opposition research and attack advertising are deployed in almost every election, but these biting ads are coming far earlier than ever before, according to party strategists. The campaign has intensified in the past two weeks as early voting begins in several states and as vulnerable incumbents try to fight off an onslaught of influences by outside groups.
Metaphorically and politically, KILL EVERYONE! If we can’t rule, no one can!
Say Anything, but do nothing.
Now’s that’s real leadership!
And when that doesn’t work, just LIE.
LAS VEGAS – Rep. Dina Titus has been a loyal soldier in pushing the Democrats’ ambitious agenda, voting for health care legislation, extended unemployment benefits, new energy taxes and a repeal of the military’s ban on gays serving openly. Her campaign signs, however, proclaim Titus an “independent voice” for Nevadans. Aware that their stock has taken the same tumble as home values, Congress’ most vulnerable Democrats are declaring their independence from their party’s agenda in Facebook profiles, television advertisements, news interviews and campaign websites leading up to the Nov. 2 election. That’s when Republicans hope to retake control of the House they lost four years ago. Titus and others have raised eyebrows for carrying water for Obama in vote after vote, only to pivot and say they are not beholden to a party.
“I’m an independent”. I voted for every single piece of the radical leftist socialism, but I’m an “independent”.
As an actual, independent I should sue them for defamation of character. The grand fraud they hope to perpetrate with the help of the Ministry of Truth is truly mind-blowing.
So, now, you’re now too stupid to recognize the fraud, and the lies.
So what was the President’s response to the Republican’s Ideas (remembering that they are the “party of no” and “have no ideas” according to The President, The Liberal Media, and The Democrats) about cutting spending and less government? “It is grounded in the same worn-out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself,” Obama said.
“That’s not a prescription for a better future. It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.”
I could have written it myself and it would have sounded the same. It’s the same old hackneyed class warfare talking points. Bush’s fault. Nothing of substance.
Yadda Yadda Yadda….
What we can’t afford to relive Mr. President is your last 20 months! See also:
Remember this when you hear liberals screaming and yelling about “fat Cat” CEO’s and their bonuses and how evil they are: DETROIT – New General Motors Co. CEO Daniel Akerson will get the same $9 million pay package as the man he replaced, Ed Whitacre. The automaker, which is 60.8 percent owned by the U.S. government, disclosed the pay package in a filing on Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is identical to what the company disclosed for Whitacre in February.
So don’t do as they do, do as they say and hate the “the rich” because they are evil incarnate. Contrary to press reports that he would not be compensated, uncovered Treasury Department documents reveal President Obama’s pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, received a $120,830 annual salary.(WT)
******************** WASHINGTON — The Homeland Security Department plans to test futuristic iris scan technology that stores digital images of people’s eyes in a database and is considered a quicker alternative to fingerprints. ACLU lawyer Christopher Calabrese fears that the cameras could be used covertly. “If you can identify any individual at a distance and without their knowledge, you literally allow the physical tracking of a person anywhere there’s a camera and access to the Internet,” he said. Iris scans can be quicker than fingerprints. “You can walk up to a wall-mounted box, look at the camera, and that’s it,” Grother said. Homeland Security will test cameras that take photos from 3 or 4 feet away, including one that works on people as they walk by, Vemury said.
If I agree with the American Communist Liberals Union (ACLU) you know the universe is endanger!
But don’t worry, Big Brother and Big Sis are not trying to track your every move and know and control everything about you. No, not at all…
******* The number of people in the United States who are living in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty. Census figures for 2009 – the recession-ravaged first year of Obama’s presidency – are to be released this week, and demographers expect grim findings. The expected poverty-rate increase – from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent – would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power. Midterm congressional elections are only weeks away.(WP)
But don’t worry,this too is also totally Bush’s Fault! He claims that “the policies of the previous decade … that cut taxes, especially for millionaires and billionaires … ultimately culminated in a financial crisis and a terrible recession that we’re still digging out of today.”--President Obama
The president falsified the record. The Democrats’ politicization of mortgages — not Bush’s tax cuts — caused the financial crisis.
But don’t expect the Ministry of Truth to tell you that either. If the tax cuts are to blame, why did Obama’s just-resigned Council of Economic Advisers Chairwoman Christina Romer — whom Obama on Friday said “helped save this country from a depression” — recently co-author an article in the American Economic Review “contrary to the White House’s plan to reverse the Bush tax cuts,” as columnist Donald Lambro noted? (IBD)
And then there’s former Budget Director Pete Orszag who said the tax cuts should be kept.
So if tax cuts are so evil and wrecked the nation, then why were two of Obama’s biggest Financial Guru’s for them??
Mind you, it was only AFTER they left. President Barack Obama talked a lot about economic recovery during his State of the Union address on Jan. 27, 2010, including the benefits of the economic stimulus bill passed last year. The stimulus, formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, included tax cuts for many Americans, Obama said. “We cut taxes. We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families. We cut taxes for small businesses,” Obama said. “We cut taxes for first-time homebuyers. We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children. We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college.”
So when he says he cut taxes (and doesn’t really or does and then raises in other ways-like Obama Care) it’s good. But if someone else proposes it, it’s just cuts for “the rich” and wrecks the country.
Say what?? “We’re going to take the next 50-some days to convince the public that’s exactly what the Republicans would do – back to the Bush policies,” White House Spokesman Gibbs said.

FEAR IS HOPE
Ad Hominem: attacking the person instead of attacking his argument. Democrats desperate to convince their base to show up at the polls in November have begun talking less about issues and more about the possibility of a “Tea Party Congress” next year. The passage of landmark bills such as healthcare and financial regulatory reform has not triggered as much grassroots enthusiasm as initially envisioned, Democratic strategists say. And while the right is engaged this cycle, the left is deflated.
“This is a big problem,” said Democratic targeting and turnout guru Hal Malchow.
So Democrats have turned to a strategy that may be their next best bet: demonization of the “insurgent” Tea Party. “These are not your run-of-the-mill Republicans we’re talking about here,” said one Democratic organizer working in a state with a contested Senate race this fall. “When you actually start telling voters what these candidates are about, it scares the hell out of them.” In the past several weeks, when Democratic activists cite the ramifications of a “Tea Party Congress,” they say, more volunteers have signed up to knock on doors to preserve a Democratic-led House and Senate. President Obama does not fire up the left as much as he did in 2008, and polls indicate independents are turning on him. A recent Gallup survey shows that Republicans are far more enthusiastic about voting than Democrats, leading by a 50 percent to 25 percent count. Many liberals have expressed frustration with the White House on issues ranging from the war in Afghanistan to the military prison in Guantanamo Bay — which Obama pledged to close by last January — to the lack of a public option in healthcare reform. Uniting the party, and making sure their voters don’t stay home this fall, has become the No. 1 issue for the Democratic Party. “The argument that we’ve made is that the Republican Party has been taken over by the Tea Party,” Democratic National Committee (DNC) spokeswoman Hari Sevugan said. “It not only energizes Democrats, but it’s the fundamental choice that independents and moderates face in the fall, too.” Some in Democratic circles are unsure whether they can convince voters that this election is a choice instead of a referendum on Obama and the Democratic Congress. Still, there is a consensus that it’s the best game plan they have. While then-President George W. Bush was an effective bogeyman for Democrats in 2006 and 2008, blaming him now for the nation’s economic woes has not resonated nearly as much. University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato pointed the finger at “the failure of the Obama economic agenda” for depressing the Democratic base, but is skeptical that shifting away from issues on the campaign trail will solve the party’s turnout dilemma. “I’m not sure trotting out a bunch of devil figures — the Tea Party congressional nominees, George Bush, [former Alaska Gov.] Sarah Palin, etc., is going to make much difference. Democrats know Obama is in power for at least two more years and can stymie a GOP Congress,” Sabato said. “But in the absence of good news on the economy, it’s worth a try to point out to Democrats who’ll be running things at one end of Pennsylvania Avenue if Democrats don’t show up to vote.” Many Democrats, including Obama, predicted six months ago that voters would embrace the healthcare reform law when they learned more about it. But polls show that the public is deeply divided on it. And it’s not moving many people off their couches, according to Democrats at the state and local level.
“Healthcare is largely unpopular in most places,” Malchow said. “That’s why Democrats aren’t talking about it.” (Fifty-three percent (53%) of U.S. voters now say they at least somewhat favor repeal of the new national health care law, matching the lowest level of opposition since the bill was passed by Congress in March. That includes 42% who Strongly Favor repeal.A majority has favored repeal of the legislation every single week since late March, and the bill is playing a major role in a number of congressional races across the country. Support for repeal has ranged from a low of 53%, reached once before in July, to a high of 63%.-Rasmussen) Financial reform, and other items enacted in the 111th Congress, are likewise not lighting a fire under the Democratic base. What is working, turnout specialists say, is talking about the “insurgent” Tea Party and how the “rising red” movement could affect the agenda in Washington in 2011. The success of Tea Party candidates in primaries, especially candidates backed by Palin, has given Democratic operatives a key talking point. These officials have also used the Aug. 28 rally in Washington, D.C., led by Fox News commentator Glenn Beck, as a volunteer recruitment tool. Malchow said that Tea Party-backed candidates who are further to the right than centrist and independent voters will, in the end, help the Democrats’ cause: “That’s a major motivating factor for Democrats, but I think it also depends on where you are.” In Nevada, with a Republican nominee for Senate like Sharron Angle, Malchow said, it’s likely to be more of a motivator for Democrats than in a state like Illinois, where the party has nominated a more centrist Senate candidate in Rep. Mark Kirk. “Base voters understand what’s at stake in this election,” said the DNC’s Sevugan. “The message that’s resonating is, do we continue to move forward or do we allow the Republicans to take us back? A slate of Republican candidates who hold very extreme positions make that choice crystal clear.” Earlier this summer, Democrats launched an effort to cast the Republican Party and the Tea Party as one and the same. “You don’t know where the Republican Party ends and the Tea Party begins, and they have to own that,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said in July. In an interview on MSNBC late last month, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said he expects voters to wake up to what Tea Party-backed candidates are actually running on before November. “I think we’ve got some folk — Tea Party folk, Republicans — who are out of sync with the average American. And most Americans are in the middle,” said Cummings. That’s a much sharper tone than Democrats were employing six months ago. In late February, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went so far as to say that she and Tea Partiers share some of the same views. Since then, however, Democrats have identified the Tea Party as their clear adversary. For example, Vice President Joe Biden lashed out at the “Republican Tea Party” a couple of weeks ago, predicting Democrats will retain control of both houses of Congress. “It’s a race between Democrats and the Republican Tea Party,” Biden said.(The Hill) Washington is today a human and systemic failure that is destroying us from within. Its profligate spending is undermining the dollar — and, according to the International Monetary Fund, it is risking a U.S. sovereign debt crisis. According to Lenin, “There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than debauching the currency.” The eminent Samuel Huntington observed that Washington is — through the Third World orientation of its immigration policies — deliberately destroying the linguistic, cultural and creedal glue that defines and holds the nation together. Research by Harvard professor Robert Putnam associates high levels of government-created “diversity” with civic dissonance and decline. Washington makes tax slaves out of one in four Americans, forcing them to pay nearly all the income tax while others pay little or none. It taxes too heavily in the dumbest way possible that does the maximum economic damage (about $3 for every $1 of tax collected), costing everyone jobs and incomes. Taxation is an economic poison that spreads quickly. And when government spends a dollar, the economic benefit is typically between zero and 60 cents, thereby digging the hole still deeper with a loss on each transaction. No wonder “stimulus” doesn’t work. Washington discriminates among us according to race and gender, takes our money and property and gives it to union bosses and other friends on its political Facebook, and by forcing us to fill out millions of government forms, annually confiscates 10 billion hours of our time. It invades our schools, raises costs, messes with students’ minds and morals, and lowers educational quality. It scorns and interferes with traditional Americans in the exercise of their religion — and it forces everyone to fight through a jungle of federal regulations just to live our daily lives. Washington has by fiat reduced the earnings on our savings accounts to near zero and given the differential to banks and speculators. It has taken $2.5 trillion out of our Social Security Trust Fund and “replaced” the money with federal IOUs that it can pay only by imposing additional taxes on us. What a cruel hoax. A soon-to-be-published analysis of historical data (by Gary and Aldona Robbins) shows how government ineptitude has for decades been increasing the price of health care. ObamaCare is the final atrocity. It will not be tolerated. Washington constantly intervenes in our free-market economy, cannibalizing vital parts and impairing its ability to provide jobs and raise living standards. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” of commerce and trade may soon stop altogether. Absent that productive genius, what will we do then? Rely on government? What a hoot. Washington is broke and produces nothing. The Great Recession tells us that government is better at creating problems (such as deficits, debt, unemployment and the housing bubble) than it is at providing solutions. And President Obama proves daily that profligate spending really is a sin: It kills jobs. Instead of apologizing to the world for America, Obama should apologize to us. His administration seems unfortunately to have lost both its economic mind and its moral compass. (IBD)
But instead, you get it’s Bush’s Fault, fear the “tea party” as radicals and nutjobs, and spending EVEN MORE money than we have will solve everything!
I’ll give Gov. Deval Patrick (MA) the last word: “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t, but . . . it’s a free country,” Patrick said on the “Jim & Margery Show” on WTKK-FM. “You know, you got to, you got to respect that freedom.”
We all should be familiar with Orwell’s 3 main Thought control precepts as put forward in in his book, 1984.
If you have never read it. Do so. Immediately.
It can change your life. I know it did mine.
But those precepts used by the Ministry of Truth were:
“”War is Peace”
“Freedom is Slavery”
“Ignorance is Strength”
And I think the Democrats and especially Obama have come up with a new one.
FEAR IS HOPE
Because they are constantly talking about hope. But all they do is spread fear.
So Fear must therefore be Hope. “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.”-Orwell. And since the liberals view of the past decade is one of total evil and you should fear that evil coming back, and you should have hope for a brighter, more vibrant America than letting that evil back in, Fear is Hope. “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act”-Orwell And there can’t be more deceit going on now than in recent memory. “It’s still fear versus hope; the past versus the future,” Obama said from Cleveland, Ohio Sept 8th, “It’s still a choice between sliding backward and moving forward. That’s what this election is about. That’s the choice you’ll face in November.” “There were no new ideas. There was just the same philosophy we already tried for the last decade – the same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place.” The Republican way for 2010 is through FEAR. Fear of African-Americans (especially President Obama), immigrants, health care, credit card reform, bank reform and Muslims, and the complete untruth that oil shortage and jobs will never come to the U.S. unless the wealthiest 2% of Americans get tax cuts. “Now Republicans are scheming to win back Congress. With a majority, they’ll do everything they can to reverse the progress Democrats have made. They’ll turn back the clock on behalf of their special interest friends, their big donors, and the extreme right-wing elements that have taken over their party”.–DNC Chair Tim Kaine
Let’s ignore all the bailouts for their special interests: Unions and their biggest donors,: Unions and Trial Lawyers.
97% of SEIU (a government service union) political contributions went to Democrats. The Union President is the person who has visited the Obama White House more than any other person so far. Hmm…
Let’s just ignore the whole “Community Reinvestment Act”, Barney Frank & Chris Dodd passing legislation to force banks to lend, Fannie and Freddie meltdown that continue to this day because it and now $4 Trillion dollars more debt than when Bush was in office.
Hope for a better future. Fear anyone who disagrees with us. “So let me be clear to Mr. Boehner and everyone else: we should not hold middle class tax cuts hostage any longer. We are ready, this week, to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less,”
So that’s why I’m in favor of not extending the Bush Tax cuts so EVERYONE’s taxes GO UP!
Obama said, “Now for any income over this amount, the tax rates would go back to what they were under President Clinton. This isn’t to punish folks who are better off. God Bless them. It’s because we can’t afford the $700 billion price tag.”
But we could afford the Trillion Dollar Stimulus, Nationalizing Health Care, Massive new regulation and taxes on businesses, Bailouts of GM, Banks, Unions, Teachers, Government Pensions, States and now Stimulus III the stimulus-you-better-not-call-a-stimulus!
We can spend for that to the tune of more spending in the last 20 months than from George Washington to Ronald Reagan!!
That’s fine.
But FEAR the return of the Bush policies that destroyed us (which they didn’t-it was the democrats 1990′s ideas that slowly crashed the engine of this country but ignore that)!
Hope lays in the Democrats and only the Democrats. We will save you!
FEAR IS HOPE Obama said of the Republicans of yesteryear, “They didn’t always prey on people’s fears and anxieties (Democrats never do that ). They made mistakes, but they did what they thought was in the best interest of their country and its people (and so did the Democrats and the Community Re-investment Act where everyone is entitled to a home). That’s what the American people expect of us today – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. That’s the debate they deserve. That’s the leadership we owe them.” (so that’s why he divide everyone on everything).
HAIL BIG BROTHER! FEAR IS HOPE!
HOPE AND CHANGE! “Yes, our families believed in the American values of self-reliance and individual responsibility, and they instilled those values in their children. But they also believed in a country that rewards responsibility.”
But it was all George Bush and The Republican’s Fault!!
And if you elect them in November they’ll do it to you again!
FEAR IS HOPE!
The fear of uncertainty that pervades the business world is palatable. What will the Democrats do now to crush business and evil corporate america.
But have have hope that more spending (on stimulus not on tax cuts) will save you from the evils of corporate america.
FEAR IS HOPE “Anyone who thinks we can move this economy forward with a few doing well at the top, hoping it’ll trickle down to working folks running faster and faster just to keep up—they just haven’t studied our history.” “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.”-Orwell.
Trickle up poverty and crushing everyone is much better. It gives you hope.
You can hope that the government will save you and fear your boss.
FEAR IS HOPE! “If we’re willing again to choose hope over fear, to choose the future over the past, to come together once more around the great project of national renewal, then we will restore our economy, rebuild our middle class and reclaim the American dream for the next generation,” he said, striking the revival-like cadences that buoyed his presidential bid.
It’s just no one is fainting in the audience anymore, overcome by the shear wonder of of his greatness!
He’s Hope.
They are are Fear!
FEAR IS HOPE He hit Republicans hard for opposing the administration’s economic plan. “Instead of setting our sights higher, they’re asking us to settle for a status quo of stagnant growth, eroding competitiveness and a shrinking middle class,” Mr. Obama said.
None of which is his fault or the fault of Democrats, mind you. They are simply trying to clean up the mess.
FEAR IS HOPE
HOPE IS FEAR
FEAR IS HOPE The LA Times proudly proclaims, “Obama blasts continued tax cuts for the rich!” But every time you hear leftists refer to “the rich,” remember that “the rich” are also known by these other terms: employers, investors, the self-reliant, self-starters. Attacking “the rich” is a direct assault on the people who invest and employ. Hate the rich if you must, but don’t force them into poverty or offshore solutions. If you hope to bankrupt the rich, you have only seen the beginning of the economic collapse to come. (American Thinker)
Oh, and ignore that the richest member of Congress are largely Democrats. And that most of Congress regardless og party are “the rich” by liberal definitions.
But Class Warfare is easy.
And giving people hope that the government will right the wrong is good.
Fear anyone who doesn’t want to do that.
FEAR IS HOPE As it is, Obama’s economic plan has a once-great nation so debt-strapped that nobody in the world wants to buy our debt anymore. In Obama’s voodoo bag of economic tricks, there is no next trick. Obama has pretty much guaranteed every American a soup-line existence in his or her near future.
And even Hillary who is now running for President said it. HILLARY: I think that our rising debt levels poses a national security threat, and it poses a national security threat in two ways. It undermines our capacity to act in our own interests, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable, and it also sends a message of weakness internationally. I mean it is very troubling to me that we are losing the ability, not only to chart our own destiny, but to, you know, have the leverage that comes from this enormously affected economic engine that has powered American values and interests over so many years.
But the government is your only hope.
You can’t possibly do it without us.
So when the people themselves rise up against the Your Saviors, the Democrats, you must fear them. So Democrats have turned to a strategy that may be their next best bet: demonization of the “insurgent” Tea Party. “These are not your run-of-the-mill Republicans we’re talking about here,” said one Democratic organizer working in a state with a contested Senate race this fall. “When you actually start telling voters what these candidates are about, it scares the hell out of them.” “The argument that we’ve made is that the Republican Party has been taken over by the Tea Party,” Democratic National Committee (DNC) spokeswoman Hari Sevugan said. “I think we’ve got some folk — Tea Party folk, Republicans — who are out of sync with the average American. And most Americans are in the middle,” said Rep. Cummings (D-MD).
The Republicans are to be feared.
The Tea party has “taken over” the Republicans.
They are extremists. We aren’t
So the Tea Party must be feared.
So, the hope of saving you from this fear is The Democrats!
FEAR IS HOPE “It’s a race between Democrats and the Republican Tea Party,” VP Biden said.
The Tea Party is full of racists and bigots and extremists. Fear them!
SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center, a very liberal group) also sees a connection between the “paranoid” anti-government ideas espoused by extremist militias, racist skinheads, and the ideas espoused by prominent Tea Partiers.
CNN worried that the “dangerous rhetoric” of Tea Party activists may be “inciting violence” against lawmakers.
Not too long ago, taking to the streets to protest your government was considered a patriotic act as long as you were against Bush or Republicans.
But now it’s to be feared.
Why, because those protesters are now in power and they don’t want to be protested against. Simple. “These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American,”
Republican or Democrat? Tea party or Union Member?
Try Nancy Pelosi on the protests against the Health care bill.
So drowning out their views is un-american, but when they shout you down it’s patriotic.
Orwell would be proud.
FEAR IS HOPE
And finally, The Mosque issue.
Where you’re a racist if you oppose them.
You’re a bigot.
Because all they want to do is “build bridges” “tolerance” and bring hope of muslim acceptance.
But it hasn’t worked. So it’s time for fear.
CNN: “If we move from that location, the story will be the radicals have taken over the discourse, the headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack. Our national security now hinges on how we negotiate this, how we speak about it. The battlefront is between moderates of all sides… and the radicals on all sides.” Moving the project to another location would strengthen Islamist radicals’ ability to recruit followers and will likely increase violence against Americans, the imam said.”– Iman Faisal Abdul Rauf earlier this week.
So if you don’t build it they will attack!!
If you oppose it you’re a racist and a bigot!
But if they build it. Peace and Harmony and understanding and love will love like water.
FEAR IS HOPE
Yesterday, I was at the PhoenixConvention Center with thousand of other geeks and nerds having a good time celebrating what we all love, and even if we don’t know anything about it (Anime and Cosplay) we could all just have a good time in the company of others.
A few miles away were the hit-and-run “moralists” who want to preach about how much they hate us.
And how much we are bad people.
Well, I’m glad I was in a place where actually love and passion were celebrated instead of where passions dark side was on full display.
Well, when it was time to leave and all the little busy bodies, safe in their sanctimony had left, I got back to my car that was parked on the street.
And lo and Behold, the little “moralists” had spammed my car with their double-sided pontifications of superior “morality”.
It’s two pages of bile, so I understand if at some point you bail out. But if you read the whole thing you will get a better sense of the nonsense that is faced by the rational people of this country.
Their text has not been altered in anyway. The snarky commentary is mine.
Titled: “Why is 1070B racist & who is promoting this as positive”
Nice Title. Very calm, rational, and willing to listen to all sides.
Line#1, Sentence #1: “Because it is fueled by hate and a desire to hurt people.”
Does any rational person need to even read anymore? I mean really? “This bill has huge support of hate groups and hate group membership has grown as a result of this movement”.
That would be the 70% of Arizonans and the 60% of Americans who support SB1070, right?
So you’re all Racists! You all Haters! You’re all meeting in secret rooms to plot the pain, torture and destruction of Hispanics!
So you better clean that bed sheet! “By the way, these hate groups are arming themselves with dangerous weapons.”
They would be the ones from the Mexican gangs, drug lords and cartels now would they?
And to finish out just the first paragraph of this little ditty, an overt threat, “I thing {sic} they failed to realize is that hispanics have a right to arm themselves, as well”
Probably with the same guns from the mexican gangs.
It get’s better, “This is about white republican Christians & Catholics preaching love and hope but practicing hate and fear”
The “arm ourselves” was not fear, mind you. When a liberal threatens you they do it with love and understanding, near fear and intimidation. “Just Like the KKK and the Aryan Brotherhood”. Even Hitler and Saddam thought they were doing GOD’s will. They talk more about hell than heaven and prey on people’s fears”.
And these “moralists” of course are NOT playing on fear at all. Intimidation, no way.
Now comes an amusing point where the writer of this screed complains about stereotyping, but continues stereotyping themselves. “The republican party has adopted this strategy of picking the worse {sic} hispanics and using it to label the entire hispanic community. Kind of like picking a meth dealing user from a trailer park and then announcing that all whites are trailer park meth-dealing users as a whole.“ “The true motive is to keep hispanics from voting because most hispanics vote democratic and the number of hispanics is growing. They want you to think they’re afraid of the illegals but in reality they are afraid of the legal hispanics who can vote.”
That would be why the Democrats, and many Republicans, want to pander to you. But it’s not the reason.
Oh, and Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! “These are the people who will lie, cheat and rob and will accuse you of lying, cheating and stealing in order to divert attention from themselves.”
Orwell would be proud of this “moralist”.
Since the chance is extremely likely that they never read the Law and never intend to because it would ruin their “moral” sanctimony I’d call their preaching a lie, wouldn’t you? “How can you trust that law enforcement will ethically and morally use this new law properly when Arapaio is already abusing people’s rights without this law.”
The assumption is that all cops are out to get you. And if they stop you it’s not because you were violating the law, it’s because you’re hispanic. That’s it. Nothing more.
This kind of attitude led me to sarcastically proclaim on a message board some months ago that the solution to all of this “racial tension” was to pass a law saying that Hispanics cannot be prosecuted for any reason for anything. Period.
No matter what they do: Rape, Murder, drug dealing, jaywalking –it doesn’t matter.
That way, it can’t be racist and they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, because they want.
Utopia Awaits! <>
Now back to reality. “They did this to blacks, to the native americans, and now hispanics. This is the same group want to revert to old times == {sic} slavery and removal of women’s rights.”
But President Obama taking over industry after industry and taking over our lives bit by bit is ok.
At least he’s not a racist white christian republican!! “They think they can only stay up by keep others down”
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!!
“Next will be blacks and native americans == {sic}… What? Again!! “…the illegal alien argument is a cover for their hatred and bigotry.”
The writer’s obvious hatred and bigotry notwithstanding…
“Yes, they hate blacks even more. AZ was the last state to adopt the MLK holiday.”
Thanks to a DEMOCRAT Governor, the late Evan Mecham, who was later impeached for improper use of state money.
“Unpick a Niny” was a popular cry back then because this was a DEMOCRAT governor who referred to blacks as “picaninnys” and was generally a total embarrassment.
And the main man behind the Recall, a Gay man.
Bet the unnamed writer of this waste of a tree either didn’t know this or didn’t care. Or Both.
If they are locals they were probably the “mechamites” of the day. “Hispanics and blacks need to register on time so that Jan Brewer & Russell Pearce don’t have an excuse to have them chasing ppwk {sic} in order to prevent them from voting or delaying their vote until after the elections are over. Don’t give in and let them violate your legal right to vote <>”
Gee, may it’s ACORN that wrote this, they are the experts in fraud after all.
But is when the real hate-fest begins!! “Isn’t Russel Pearce the one who associates with JT ready the neo-nazi supporter.”
HUH??
But it’s nice to see it took nearly 3/4 of a page to get to that “N” word. “Russell Pearce used to e-mail his friends Nazi National Alliance Material. Russell Pearce also appreciated “operation Wetback”. Russell Pearce is a racist who has used his position to put fear in republicans and az {sic} to pass his hatred through political manuevering:
But since it was a New Times blogger address it gives you a clue to the identity and the way out there nature of this writer. If you’re an insane leftist and make Hugo Chavez look like a mormon, The Phoenix New Times is for you!
Can’t you just feel the love!
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! “How about Russell’s buddy Rusty Childress, Mr Kobach & does Mr. Pullen ring a bell? Mr Kobach (works for FAIR, a national hate group who believe blacks are “a retrograde species of humanity”)…
FYI: Rusty Childress is an Illegal Alien activist. Randy Pullen is the head of the AZ Republican Party.
Ah, more of that Liberal love, tolerance, and understanding!
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!!
Do a google search for that phrase and the first thing that pops up is an “article” on Media Matters website. This would be the website run by the far-left to smear anyone and anything they dislike. They rest of the first page are also left-wing bloggers.
You’ll find the quote in this reference: “As Media Matters has noted, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the CCC “has described blacks as ‘a retrograde species of humanity,’ compared singer Michael Jackson to an ape, and promoted neo-Nazi and Holocaust denial materials.” (2006)
So where is FAIR in this? (FAIR = Federation of American Immigration Reform)
It’s not, it’s just tarring that white trailer park meth dealer… …helped draft SB1070, mentors Joe Arapaio and is leading the training of MCSO illegal alien identification program.
FYI: MCSO, Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office.
It’s a Conspiracy of HATE! AND FEAR!
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! And they don’t hate you because you’re different, they hate you because you’re not in lock-step with whatever they say. Period. “The approval rating of this bill is high but why? The polls are, typically, wrong because mostly older conservatives who are bored have the time to complete these surveys.”
Now you’re a bored white trailer park meth dealer… “Older conservatives who no one calls gladly complete the survey- they will talk to anyone who calls them”
Ah, Liberal contempt. It warms their hearts and their ‘superior morality’. “Most working America {sic} is too busy to complete the survey.”
Yeah, because the Democrats keep wanting to “redistribute” my wealth that doesn’t exist but since I’m a white trailer park meth dealer I must be punished for my sins against even poorer people. “This in actuality affects others thinking ‘I guess my voice does not count so I will side with them’ Your voice does count.”
Isn’t that what THIS writer wants to begin with?
Only, it’s ok for them, but not for us. “There are lots of older people who live here and they will always vote republican and support the sherriff because they are living in fear and that’s what the republican party wants them to think. OMG {sic},the republican party, alone, can keep them safe.”
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! “These are the same people who will never accept a black president”
Well, it took an entire page to get to this leftist talking point. “They would rather have a terrible republican president (BUSH) than a good black president (OBAMA)”
How about a good president, period?
Nah…let’s continue with the race card. “I’ve heard them say that the constitution should have included that “no niggers” can occupy the position of president”
Heresay from that white trailer park meth dealer no doubt!! “It’s not about the birth certificate it is about hate and bigotry”
Lefist talk point #107: “Birthers”.
And what does any other this malarky have to do with Illegal Immigration, if I may ask from my porch of the trailer with loaded shotgun ready to get me a wetback or two?? (that last bit was sarcasm for those who are liberally impaired) “These are the same people who oppose interracial marriage but never admit it in public. They’ve been heard telling other whites to make sure they marry other whites only (in professional office environments)”
That would be the white trailer park meth dealers around the water cooler plotting the destruction of all non-whites, right?
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! “They have gotten a lot of support because they’ve allowed extreme gun rights and are leading people to believe that they will legalize marijuana”
HUH? We are so far off course that even Amelia Earhardt would get lost on this one. “This has created more support from young, independent and some democrat voters (child molester the lollipop scenario).”
So now the white trailer park meth dealer is handing out lollipop and marijuana to entice you into a world sin! “This is a cover to get them to support their racist agenda. When is it right to hate hispanics and accept marijuana == {sic} it is a political blindfolding. Supports {sic} us on this and we’ll let you arm yourself and smoke pot (it doesn’t have to be said, that is how it appears from the outside looking in)”
Anyone dying for hit after trying to get your head around that babble? “They call abortions murder but they don’t hesitate to destroy and separate families to advance their political careers. They do this to make you think they are of high ethics and morals. Yet they will sell out to lobby representatives like whores for hire”
The Nebraska Kickback anyone? The Louisiana Purchase? “They are against gays and for family but most have been unfaithful to their spouses just not gotten caught (Or bet up their wife- Russell?). They push you against gays to make you think their ethics and morals are above yours.”
And this diatribe by you (the writer) is designed to do what exactly? Prove that you’re superior to the white trailer park meth pot lollipop dealer?
FYI: The charges of Russell Pearce beating his wife came from…<> a Phoenix New Times Blogger!
AZ Republic: 7/23/2008 The document is 28-years-old, but it raises a lot of questions about Republican Russell Pearce. In a public document dated 1980 the state representative’s wife Luanne wants a divorce and goes on to claim Russell often beats her and shoves her. One incident in February details a clash at their former Mesa home where Luanne says Russell grabbed her by the throat and threw her down. The sometimes controversial New Times weekly broke the story. They even posted the public document on their website. Since it is an election year we spoke to democrats who deny they had anything to do with the release of the document. Pearce’s republican opponent Kevin Gibbons did not answer calls.
Alinsky would be proud of you my son. Only, the mud didn’t stick. They are still happily married, by the way.
Two paragraphs to go. As Dr. Smith on “Lost in Space” would say, “oh the the pain…” “So republicans complain about anchor babies and the costs. How about GE, how much money did they make and much in taxes did they pay (made lots of money and paid $0 in Us Taxes). Oh don’t go there because we get good lobby money from GE…”
So now we have the classic Liberal Class Warfare divide-and-conquer, Anti-corporate talking point!
At least point trying to point out errors in logic is like trying to count the stars in the sky one by one! …republicans complain of the low paying jobs that americans are not willing to do at the wages the employers off.
Those greedy capitalist pigs!
Gee, I thought that was the democrats. And with 9.9% unemployment to boot! “What about all the middle class jobs that the Bush administration outsourced to India and the Philipines {sic}. republicans complain about pennies while letting freinds steal millions from AMERICA in taxes and jobs.”
And when you point out that Bill Clinton signed NAFTA they will immediately switch to Bush Sr and CAFTA. I know I’ve tried.
Bush Derangement Syndrome is alive and spreading it’s “love”. “lets compare apples to apples.”
This ought to get hilarious! “Is it necessary fro white husbands to start disappearing, their wife’s not come home for white families to understand the separation & Destruction of families? Yes, this is race thing. Look at the protest and not a the ploys of justification”
Like this mess of a letter for instance. “By enraging Hispanics, Mexicans, and Central Americans they are making them more susceptible to participate with America’s enemies.”
Seems the person inciting people here is you buddy.
But now, SB1070 is going to lead to home grown radical hispanic terrorists! Beware!
Remember, Liberals NEVER EVER USE FEAR TACTICS!! “Cuba, Venezuela and Al-Qaida countries will entice hispanics to join a venture that racism in America forced them into. Look at it from the outside looking in.”
Ok, well, let’s see, the great vast majority of terrorist attacks in this country (and around the world) are Islamic radicals.
But this administration can’t even utter that. So instead the next wave of terrorists will be Hispanics who convert Islam and become radicalized because of SB1070.
My head hurts. “Hispanics are aware that in order to win a big war, the big war must be fought. Hispanics have a legal right to arm themselves just like they are a legal right to vote. The whole world is watching but most importantly GOD is, also…
“Jeremiah 9:24 but let him who boasts about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight” declares the Lord.
Lord have mercy I feel the light of truth coming my way after reading this!
No, sorry, that’s just a bullet train!
Jermiah 9:23
23Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24: but let him who boasts about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight” declares the Lord.
Just a little context for you.
And remember, early in this letter the write said of the supporters of SB 1070: “Just Like the KKK and the Aryan Brotherhood”. Even Hitler and Saddam thought they were doing GOD’s will. They talk more about hell than heaven and prey on people’s fears”.
And yet, the writer pulls out the God Card themselves.
Hmmmm….
And from one of the protesters: Mireya Chavez Cerna, 43, an illegal immigrant who works as a maid, marched with her 9-year-old son, who was born in the United States and wore a shirt reading “Made in America.” She denounced the climate of fear in the state and said immigrants like her could not abide the wait of a decade or more for a legal visa while their families grow hungry. “Do you think we would risk losing our lives crossing the border if we didn’t have a need to come here for a better life?” she said. Supporters of the law “don’t know,” she added. “They don’t understand. They don’t live in Mexico. They don’t know how it is.”
So why don’t you stand up against that oppression?
Oh, right, they’ll just imprison you or kill you. Silly Me. “The point was to be here for this march to show support for these folks, then we’re out,” said Jose Vargas, a union representative for New York City teachers. “We’re not spending a dime here.” (AP)
They reported rented a warehouse and had cots to sleep on because they didn’t want to spend any money in the racist hotels!
So who’s warehouse was it?
Hit and Run Moralism at it’s finest!
