“It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well,” the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman told WAMU radio host Diane Rehm on Tuesday morning, promoting his new book, “The Waxman Report.” ~politico.com

It gets better:

“They [Republicans] want to play politics and see if they can keep any achievements from being accomplished that may be beneficial to the Democrats. They’re rooting against the country and I think in this case, even rooting against the world because the world needs to get its act together to stop global warming.” ~realclearpolitics.com

Waxman isn’t the only one either. There is a sense that Democrats have forgot that they once felt that lying about and smearing your opposition was the embodiment of patriotism itself.

Far left writer Paul Krugman says opposing liberal policies is betrayal of the planet.

…but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do something about greenhouse gases.

And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet. ~nytimes.com

The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.

• Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carryout violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
• Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.
• The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.
• During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.
• Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.

The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.  ~thelibertypapers.org

Maybe Democrats believe that it’s necessary to destroy all their enemies first in order to save the planet. This would make sense when you look at the actions of the left rather than their words.

The ‘new’ politics of hope and change looks just like a ramped up, more hateful and malicious version of the old politics (of personal destruction). Who would have thought that this was the way to unite America?

So my liberal friends, is this the blueprint on how to be a uniter and not a divider? Attempting to silence your critics? Using the power of the media and the Executive branch to crush any dissent or disagreement as the model of civility?

Obama’s plan to target Rush began in October according to the Politico. The demonization of Rush Limbaugh was planned, coordinated, and executed by members of the Democratic machine and the administration. Obama himself pulled the trigger, signaling that the slander and coordinated attacks should begin. It continues day after day as liberal journalists demand a disavowal from every Republican on their respective shows.

“Are you now, or have you ever agreed with Rush Limbaugh?”

Ironically (or not) democrats are a caricature of their own psychological projections.

What we should be asking is how long will this targeting of Rush Limbaugh be the main priority of the Obama administration?

First they came for Rush, next, who knows, everyone who disagrees with the President’s plans for radical and “fundamental transformation of the United States of America” may be targeted. Beware.

Just imagine what Obama will do with the reigns of power firmly in his hands.

The truth squad is ready to prosecute anyone spreading ‘lies’ and unapproved non-party propaganda.

The primary target of this ‘truth squad’ is the American Issues Project which is airing ads that Obama calls ‘lies’.

Washington, DC – September 26, 2008 – Barack Obama is now using local law enforcement officials to carry out his campaign of legal intimidation by assembling a group of high-ranking Missouri police officials and prosecutors – including St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough and City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce – to identify and target anyone the campaign determines is producing “misleading” political advertisements.

“This is an outrageous and shocking attempt by the Obama campaign to again employ Stalinist, police state tactics against those who dare to disagree with Barack Obama,” said Ed Martin, American Issues Projects president. “I am frankly stunned to see public officials like McCullough and Joyce abusing their official prosecutorial positions to serve as attack dogs for a national political campaign. I am quite certain Missourians elected these individuals to enforce the laws and arrest criminals, not to throw people in jail for daring to practicing free speech.

“The Obama campaign continues to provide a chilling preview of what would happen to political freedom in an Obama administration.”

This new effort is only the most recent attempt by the Obama campaign to crack down on free speech. Obama’s lawyers twice demanded the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute the American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors. The campaign also threatened stations running American Issues Project’s ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot, and ran its own ad in response.

Notably, this ad failed to dispute a single fact the American Issues Project has put forth.

The governor of Missouri has condemned Obama’s thuggery as well:

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement

JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts – not a free society.” ~governor.mo.gov

Gas them. Gas every red state that voted for Bush. Gas them all, and gas them now. And if that sounds a little too 1940s for you, then fine, nuke the fuckers. Nukes have come a long way since 1945, so much so that they’re not even 1940s anymore. It’s just that gassing them sounds so much more appropriate.

…don’t just blame those 59,000,000 fucks, but blame their families, their friends, their dogs and cats, their furniture, and everything they ever touched, smelled, peed on, or otherwise left DNA samples in. They all have to go. Every last one of ‘em.

…Evangelical Christian philosophy is based on a simple hatred of man, hatred of life, hatred of pleasure, and hatred of everything beautiful on this planet, especially animals and forests. Earth to them is a wretched test, a dreadful obstacle on the path to Heaven; only money is good, not for the sake of enjoying money, but because the wealth, and the goods wealth buys, is a sign that they have been Blessed;  ~exile.ru

It just goes downhill from there.

The research of Dr. Hervey Cleckley and Dr. Robert Hare exploring the personality and character traits of psychopaths, when applied to George Bush, shows that he fits exactly the profile they developed for a classic psychopath. It’s uncanny.

The study also showed that “Republicanism” as political and social ideology… is even worse than psychopathy.  ~dailykos.com

This is just the kind of rationalization that could one day lead to ‘reeducation camps’ for conservatives, and great purges ala Stalin. Hey, they’re fine with communism and we know where that has led over and over in this last century.

Shattered windows and bomb scares are growing threats for recruiters working to find young men and women to join the U.S. military, according to a new report that claims attacks on military recruiting stations are on the rise.

The report, issued by a not-for-profit group that supports members of the military, calls the incidents — including the spray-painting of graffiti — “attacks,” and claims there have been more than 50 since March 2003.

“The peace protesters are not peaceful,” said Catherine Moy, executive director of Move America Forward, which released the report. “They are violent. They are causing havoc in an illegal manner on recruiting offices across the United States.”  ~foxnews.com

This should not be a surprise at all since good communist have always supported ‘resistance’ and revolution in the face of the ultimate evil (America).

Besides attacking recruiting stations anti-war communists have decided that abridging the religious rights of others is fair game as well.

BERKELEY — Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go. That’s the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 6-3, with Gordon Wozniak, Betty Olds and Kriss Worthington dissenting, to tell the Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”

It also voted 7-2, with Wozniak and Olds dissenting, to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines and to encourage the women’s peace group Code Pink to protest in front of the station.

In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.  ~insidebayarea.com

Liberals don’t believe in free speech, but they do believe in forcing their beliefs on others. After the fairness doctrine it may be necessary to begin “re-education” for all those who are unable to free themselves from their misinformed, “extreme views.”

Feinstein might push for fairness doctrine

WASHINGTON, June 24 (UPI) — U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., said Sunday she is “looking at” the possibility of reviving the fairness doctrine for U.S. broadcasters. Feinstein, speaking on “Fox News Sunday” with Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said talk radio in particular has presented a one-sided view of immigration reform legislation being considered by the Senate.

U.S. talk radio is dominated by conservative voices.

“This is a very complicated bill,” said Feinstein. “Most people don’t know what’s in this bill. Therefore, to just have one or two things dramatized and taken out of context, such as the word amnesty — we have a silent amnesty right now, but nobody goes into that. Nobody goes into the flaws of our broken system.”

Feinstein said the measure before the Senate “fixes those flaws” but that doesn’t get presented on talk radio, which she said “pushes people to … extreme views without a lot of information.”

Asked if she would revive the fairness doctrine, which used to require broadcasters to present competing sides of controversial issues, Feinstein said she was “looking at it.”

“I remember when there was a fairness doctrine,” she said, “and I think there was much more serious correct reporting to people.“  ~upi.com

This is a perfect example of liberal policy formation: “There’s an overbearing and unnecessary government solution to every problem that doesn’t exist.”

If, “most people don’t know what’s in this bill,” as Feinstein claims, whose fault is that exactly? Talk radio or the elite who think that we are too stupid to understand the oh-so-, “complicated,” issues involved in their precious legislation. (That’s a rhetorical question which doesn’t necessarily need a question mark.)

What part of the first amendment do these people understand? From McCain-Feingold to the Fairness Doctrine to proposed FEC regulation of blogs as political contributions, those who insist on ‘improving’ free speech and ‘enriching’ democracy seem to be engaging in Orwellian Doublespeak as all their proposals add up to less speech, more regulation, and complete redefinitions of concepts self-evident to even the dictatorships of Rome.

Now we know why the party mascot is an ass.

First he declared defeat. Now we get some additional insight into why he thinks we lost the war.

The generals are incompetent! Stupid soldiers! (If only Harry were in charge. He deserves to be in charge you know. He’s so smart and perfect.)

Not only did Harry Reid say that our generals are incompentent but the lefty bloggers he was reporting to and who now control the Democratic party deny he said anything like that. Well, some admit that he said it now that there is an actual tape of the call available but they are forced to fall back on the classic liberal claim that what he said must be considered, “in context.” You see, “in context,” he didn’t say what he said. “In context,” he said something completely different.

One of the bloggers at DailyKos actually claims that Politico, who broke the story, “made it all up.”

Since its inception a few short months ago, Politico, the online soul-mate to the Drudge Report, has gotten into the habit of creating news stories through innuendo, omission, outright error, and now today, out of thin air.

…Of course the reason this comment was never reported [by the bloggers in the call] is quite simple: the bloggers on the call don’t remember this quote. I, along with mcjoan and Kagro X, participated in that conference call and none of us heard Reid say it. ~barbinmd.dailykos.com

Talk about incompetence. Isn’t this why Scooter Libby is going to jail? Obviously barbinmd is lying or has such a poor memory, or (much more likely) has some really really poor listening skills. Remember, poor memory is more likely to get you thrown in jail than stealing top secret documents.

But why deny it? After insisting that Reid said nothing of the sort and that it’s all conservative lies the DailyKos blogger basically agrees with what Reid did in fact say:

And of course if anyone wants to argue that the two Generals are competent, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. ~barbinmd.dailykos.com

The rabid character of these folks is something to behold.

To me this is more than just an argument over semantics or silly details about what was said, it is an example of what is wrong with the left and their anti-war jihad against Bush, conservatives, and reason itself. They can’t even get it right when they are right there talking to Reid firsthand, so why do they think that their political blinders (assuming that they even acknowledge that they have any) filter only the pure unadulterated truth on other issues where they don’t have firsthand knowledge?

The true incompentence here has been the left’s shortsighted political calculations and resulting complete betrayal of America which started when they voted for the war they so profusely condemn now.

And the enemy is listening. What effect does the propaganda of the left and the Democrats have on the world and in particular the middle east? What kind of effect does it have on the war effort and the ability of this nation to wage war effectively?

It’s called giving aid and comfort to the enemy and writing their propaganda for them. When you can’t distinguish between a speech from Dick Durbin and a radical muslim rant…

How Is Guantanamo Different From Nazi Detention Camps?
Saad Atiah Al-Ghamdi

The current radical administration in the US is being humiliated day after day. It is stubbornly insisting on creating dark pages in history that would need thousands of years to be fixed and overcome. It seems as if America eliminated the old threat from countries like China, under Mao, and the Soviet Union, only to find itself mired in a worse situation than these countries. It has now surpassed them with its detention camps and torture that allow the US to accomplish what it wants by extracting confessions forcefully and brutally. ~arabnews.com
