Democratic Thugs Declare War on Conservatives
The health care debate continues to deteriorate. Leftist thugs attack conservative citizens who dare protest against Obama’s health care plans. As Marc Moore reported yesterday, one of the conservatives who was beaten up was an African American.
Commentators in Europe and the public at large have heard about the fights, etc. as well but automatically defend Obama, saying he has nothing to do with it. Additionally, they say, are conservatives any better?
They have been so brainwashed by the European media that they simply assume that conservatives are wrong and that violence perpetrated by liberals cannot possibly be systematic.
Well, it is. It is a large scale campaign, concocted by liberal politicians, unions and special groups like MoveOn.org. Especially the unions are bad. They even send their own thugs to protests, town halls, etc. where they prey on innocent conservative citizens who so happen to disagree with Obama’s views and policies. Drudge rightfully speaks of “union thugs unleashed.”
Dear readers, this has nothing whatsoever to do with democracy. No, it reminds me of socialist revolutions of old. Democrats have now officially introduced mob rule rather than democracy to America.
And Obama, what does he do? Instead of listening to ‘the other side’ and taking their concerns serious, he has decided to react like his buddy Hugo Chavez. He simply told conservatives recently to shut up. “I don’t want the folks who created this mess to do a lot of talking,” the man formerly known as the Messiah said. “I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
As Glenn Reynolds put it: Obama has become the first Thug-in-Chief in history.
While union thugs are busy beating up conservative protesters, far left organizations like MoveOn.org are hiring professional protesters and gang members. A new (yet old) kind of political soldier, you could say.
After last year’s elections, the American Ché Guevara and his buddies in Congress boasted they had a mandate. They could get away with anything, or so they said. Well, guess what? They were wrong. They overestimated the scope of their mandate as seldom before. Americans did not vote for the Democratic Party because they suddenly became liberals but because they were fed up with the Republican Party and with politics as usual; the politics of divide and conquer.
Democrats forgot that if 60% of the voters in a district or state vote for you, this means that 40% did not. 40% are still a whole lot of people, as reader Redfish put it rather succinctly recently. You have to take these voters serious. Additionally, a member of Congress and a president do not merely represent those who voted for them, but all others (in their district) as well. Democrats seem to have forgotten that simple fact of politics.
In the meantime, doctors have decided to speak out against Obama’s plans. Will he unleash the union thugs on them as well?
Obama has brought Chicago’s culture of corruption and mob rule to Washington D.C. Terrifying indeed.
I’m becoming increasingly tired of Europeans who rationalize and / or minimize this kind of behavior. Conservatives are beaten up because they adhere to a different ideology than the Grand Leader Obama. At the moment they raise their voices, the thugs are unleashed. Defending that in any way is unacceptable.
I believe it will not be long before conservatives create their own gangs. And why wouldn’t they? They have to defend themselves and they cannot possibly allow union thugs to take over the country. They have to react. The only question I have is whether European media will pay attention to what’s happening in America then?
My guess is that they will. They’d pretend that conservatives started ‘beating up’ liberals suddenly and that this once again proves that American conservatives are all a bunch of radicals when, in fact, it is the other way around.
This is over the top
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson.
Delay is preferable to error.
Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Had it right. The democrats understand all of these principals of the men they so heartily quoted as the Fathers of our nation. Yet they pick and choose their quotes.
The above quotes call to task the democrats thugocracy that they have going on and the fact that Barak Obama would be so brazen as to make that statement….A statement from the MAN who said he wanted to rule as a bipartisan president and end the bickering and fighting in Washington DC.
The people are watching Obama and the democrats. They are going to take an absolute pounding in the polls in 2010 if they keep this thuggery up. I have been commenting on other blogs and have noticed a return of the internet thugs who literally assault me with vehemence when I dare say anything negative about the Democrats or their agenda.
The minions are marching and Thomas Jefferson would not approve.
you know, I am sitting here on the fence watching this happen. Michael, you say it is only time until the Conservatives form their own gangs. Apparently you are not paying attention, because they already have. About half of the news sources that I get my information from say that fake grassroots movement groups, that have been organized by corporate interests — supporting the right side of this debate, are acting like thugs and perpetuating violence themselves. So who is right? I know your opinion, but how do I know if any of your facts are correct? supposedly, those who oppose a new health care plan are not even allowing the debate to occur as they drown out any chance for dialogue.I personally think that healthcare must be removed from the control of the big corporations. They are obviously only in it for the money and do not care about actually providing health care. But at the same time, I am not sure that the plans being put forth by the current administration are in the best interests of the future.
I have one question.
Why are we even debating the health care plan? Why is it in committee?
The GOP actually has no say. The plan will be ramrodded thru and the President will sign it.
This is all so bogus. Its designed to make the GOP look like thugs when in fact the plan just simply needs to be written and voted and signed by Obama even is every GOP’er votes no.
The Party of NO vs the Party of SHUT UP!
No is trumped.
What’s good is in 2012 GOP can run on a platform of smaller government, fiscal responsibility.
What’s sad is the GOP record supports it vs this administrations.
Looks like MoveOn.org (and most likely the rest of the progressive lemming pack) have shifted to attacking fiscally conservative democrats as well now… So, progressives… Is it “Right wing extremists? Or Democrats that are to blame for the healthcare bill tanking? Seems like the progressives are casting a wide net of dispersions, don’t you think? I think that is the psychological equivalent of them saying “It’s Not ME, its The Rest of the World that’s Crazy “…

Coincidentally the “Blue Dogs” are doing quite well in this environment… why? Because they are more in line (fiscally) with what most American voters think.

sorry, aspersion not dispersion, duh…
One of the most important flaws in modern liberalism is their absolute presumption that the only possible reason that anyone could disagree with them is because they are either a bad person themselves (Nazis, birthers, racists, neocons — the labels change, but the sentiment is constant) or are bought off by bad people (health insurance corporations, defense contractors, FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh — again, the specific all-powerful villains change but the sentiment is constant). I think anyone who is interested in proof of this contention need only look at today’s posts in the liberal blogosphere to see ample proof of the commonality of both of these presumptions.
This presumption makes it difficult for many liberals to actually pursue a persuasive argument, because it blinds them to the real arguments that they need to counter and, at the same time, makes them behave in ways that are offensive to the very same people they need to persuade.
Of course, some conservatives are prone to the same dysfunction (especially social conservatives), but at least a little bit more frequently, conservatives will concede the good intentions of liberals but find them naive. That minor concession make it possible to conservatives to be marginally more politically persuasive than liberals, even during times of institutional minority status like now.
“Of course, some conservatives are prone to the same dysfunction (especially social conservatives), but at least a little bit more frequently, conservatives will concede the good intentions of liberals but find them naive.”
Oh, I agree, conservatives arer guilty of this too to a degree… but your right, conservatives concession to good intentions makes them seem a little more “in touch”, and “real” as well.
Be civil people. We protest on the outside, we discuss on the inside in a composed, logical clear voice, what we want answered, what we need to keep our families healthy, what we don’t want.
As far as “thugs” go. What is more intimidating, a poster or a gun in plain sight during a time and place where emotions run high? Keep our hands to ourselves children. And can we keep the Hitler symbol of hate out of our Town Halls? One lowers oneself to the status of ignorance goons when the subject is off the mark and presented with emotional shrills and paranoia.
some more info on moveon.org (This time a tool that anyone can use, even those opposed to the healthcare debate, although that is not moveon’s intent..) A tool to write to local, regional and national newspapers.

If you have something to say, it is a good way to get it out to the masses. (however, this is not to say that the newspapers wont cherrypick what they want, but still, a good tool none the less)
sorry, “opposed to a single payer system”, not “opposed to the healthcare debate”
“Evil-mongers” is the latest label to wear with pride. According to Harry Reid, anyway.
A month ago I thought 2010 was shaping up to look like the 1978 elections. I may need to rethink that.
speaking of “Democratic Thugs Declare War on Conservatives”…

A new CZAR? pardon me, but does the FCC have a “Chief Diversity Officer” currently, or is this just some new thing our current administration decided to make up? Can they just do that?
Read a good article here on the Obama’s “your either with us or against us” stance on healthcare reform…

Actually, I take that back, it looks like “We the People” may have won this round…
The public option *may* be dropped (going instead using nont-for profit healthcare “cooperatives” kind of like the electricity “cooperatives” in rural America. Also, the “end of life councelling” for the elderly may be dropped as well??

I am still leary of “what else” is in this new version of the bill. I’d hate to see a “bait and switch”, to something else under the hood of this new bill, take place.
