Is We Grateful?

Yes

Liberals have established iron control over most of our institutions of learning from kindergarten to graduate school and have turned them into propaganda mills where only politically correct ideas are allowed and speech codes enforce conformity; most ironic is the fact liberals do this while cloaking their actions with a gospel of tolerance and diversity. Much the same can be said of most the media where, with a few exceptions, free speech and freedom of the press were suffocated long ago. Objectivity and unbiased reporting have been replaced by cheerleading for liberalism's latest fads and pet projects to use the power of big government to force the public to accept some utopian scheme that increases the power of the ruling elite at the expense of the public's freedom.

If there is anything that may halt the advance of this juggernaut, it is the power of free expression on the Internet.

The Internet and its offspring, YouTube, are much like the instant replay. These technological advances are making it possible for ordinary citizens to replay the factual record of what political leaders say and do within moments of their occurrence. Moreover, they give us tools to search the historical record and compare what is currently offered up with previous statements and promises made; in addition, we can now easily make comparisons of their claims with the actual facts to gauge the accuracy and veracity of their statements.

The March of the Warm Fuzzy Liberal

Make Mine Freedom!

[T]he miscreants who were brutalizing me didn't exactly look Reagan-esque. In middle and high schools, they were minority kids enraged about forced busing. On the streets of New York City and Berkeley, they were derelicts and hoodlums.

Another red flag: while liberal men did indeed hold up those picket signs, they didn't do anything else to protect me. In fact, their social programs enabled bad behavior and bred chaos in urban America. And when I was accosted by thugs, those leftist men were missing in action.

What else should have tipped me off? Perhaps the fact that so many men in ultra left Berkeley are sleaze bags. Rarely a week goes by that I don't hear stories from my young female clients about middle aged men preying on them. With the rationale of moral relativism, these creeps feel they can do anything they please.

What finally woke me up were the utterances of bitch, witch, and monster toward Hillary Clinton and her supporters early last year. I was shocked into reality: the trash talk wasn't coming from conservatives but from male and female liberals.  Robin of Berkeley, The Wilding of Sarah Palin.

HATE SPEECH WARNING

"While reading these notes and listening to the Neal Boortz show you will hear opposition voiced to the policies of Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress. Liberals, statists, moochers and fans of big government, being completely unable to respond to these comments with factual arguments in a rational manner, will resort to calling these comments "hate speech." In so doing these Obama sycophants will feel that they've taken some illusory high ground and will preen over their refusal to respond. Just let them be ... they're having a rough time. They know their Chosen One is a complete disaster .. and they're nursing broken hearts."

That's why we call 'em Warm Fuzzy Liberals 'round these parts.

Patriot Rebs Rise Up

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The problem with the First Amendment is, there is no Clause that says, 'And you, Ordinary American, will be strong enough to protect freedom of thought.'  You could make that command all you want.  Make any command you like.  Doesn't mean people will abide by it.

We The People have allowed a small group of radicals to hijack the reins of our government. The lack of our focus on civic duty, our adherence to political correctness and our silence on the blatant ignoring of our Constitution has brought us to the brink of losing our nation.

There is no one to blame for these elites attempting to transform America but us. We have shown disunity and disinterest in protecting our freedoms while we ignorantly went along enjoying the fruits of our liberty. We freely travel in our country and abroad, enjoy free assembly, an array of local public social and sports events and addictive shop-until-you-drop. All these freedoms are up for grabs if we do not hold our representatives accountable for following our Constitution.

Patriots Are Asserting Themselves

"They are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare.... [G]iving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please." -- Thomas Jefferson

Ballad of the Warm Fuzzy Fascisti

No Popups for Kenny

K's Comment stirred up long-neglected historical memories of those "progressive" years Woodrow Wilson was president.  No, I'm not an expert on the Wilson presidency, but he did have some firsts in the civil liberties department.  First, some background:

During the post-Lincoln years, it was unusual to have a Democrat for president.   (The Democratic Party was for "crackers", racists, and southerners.  Think of it: the Northeastern U.S. was Lincoln country!)  Wilson was the first consecutive two-termer Democrat after Lincoln's assassination.  The first Democrat was the beleaguered, impeached Andrew Johnson, the poster boy for failed Democratic states' rights politics; the second was "Uncle Jumbo", Grover Cleveland, the only president to have two of the 44 presidential slots, as in, two non-consecutive slots.  Ideologically, "Big Steve" was closer to Calvin Coolidge than he was to Lyndon Baines Johnson.  He was not "progressive" by anyone's standard, I don't think.

Sons of X

We are All Liberals; We are All Progressives.  Woodrow Wilson was America's first "progressive" president.  The social climate of those years gave birth to the bumper stickers of our time: unprecedented prosperity juxtaposed with shocking inner city poverty, industrial slaughter of human beings, pollution you and I can't even conceive of, and so on.  Woodrow Wilson was elected president at the beginning of our era.  When you think of Woodrow Wilson, you think of Democrats like Barack Obama, not Democrats like Harry Truman or "Uncle Jumbo."  This is what Jonah Goldberg said about President Wilson:

Lookin' Good!

Building a Better America Together!

But the first round of the upbeat, nonpartisan, avoid-specific-issues, dream-big ad campaign had barely hit the airwaves when the White House declared war. Not a shooting war, obviously. Political warfare. A full-bore, scorched-earth attempt to stifle dissent and punish all those who dare challenge the man who once talked of Solving Problems Together.  Kevin Ferris

Mike Rosen: The Liberal Elites Aren't So Elite

One liberal pontificated that he wants only the "best and the brightest" in government to "run our country." I suspect he and I would disagree about who the best and brightest are and what qualities earn them that distinction. My list certainly wouldn't include Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama, to whom I don't defer as my intellectual superiors. His list probably wouldn't include Ronald Reagan. Moreover, I don't want government or politicians to "run our country." That's a statist view. The state is not society; it's a subset of society. It's the height of pretentious elitism to believe that any panel of bureaucrats is smart enough to "run" our intricate market economy. The Soviets tried that.

All right!  Alaska GOP Gov. Sean Parnell did not greet Barack Obama on Thursday when the president traveled to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage to speak to service members.

Firing Bush Hires

The New America: Tyrants in Tuxedos

It is the policy of the Congress that employees should be encouraged to exercise fully, freely, and without fear of penalty or reprisal, and to the extent not expressly prohibited by law, their right to participate or to refrain from participating in the political processes of the Nation. 5 U.S.C 7321 "The Hatch Act" 1939

We haven't seen crass, probably illegal political firings in this country since FDR was in office.  'What about those U.S. Attorneys that Bush fired?', you inquire.  They were political appointees.  You can fire them, as when Bill Clinton fired 93 U.S. Attorneys in 1993.

Via Insty Liberal comes the latest shock: a White House policy to attrition off Republican employees.  My Dad used to talk about that.  He hated Roosevelt because my grandfather came home in 1933 -- in the middle of the Great Depression -- fired from his job because he didn't have his papers, i.e., proof of membership in the Democratic party.  Nice folks, those Democrats, and it's why I was raised Republican.  So, imagine my shock to see:

Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service

Per Red State, "this is scary stuff."  Yes.  It is.  Red State adds, “This is what happens in third world kleptocracies and totalitarian regimes.”  Yes.  It does.

It is well established anti-discrimination law in the Federal sector – the public (political appointees included) may not be excluded from consideration for federal jobs because of their political affiliation.

OPM’s alleged rationale is to keep political appointees from “burrowing in,” but agencies would need to have already considered the applicant the best qualified to even reach this new hurdle.  OPM Memo

What Was Patriotic Two Years Ago is Now Treason.

This is consistent with a worldview that is not about Principle, but is about P-O-W-E-R.

These folks are dangerous, and sleazy.

Cuban Blogger Yoani Sanchez Detained, Beaten on Way to March

Sánchez, the best-known Cuban blogger on the island and off, said she and bloggers Pardo and Claudia Cadelo and a woman friend were walking to join a ``march against violence'' organized by several young musicians when they were intercepted by three men in civilian clothes. Cuba's state security service agents frequently operate out of uniform. ``We were almost there when we were intercepted by three men in a car with civilian license plates who ordered us to get in,'' she said. ``We refused. I didn't know if they were kidnappers. And the level of their violence went up.'' Sánchez said they were near the Calixto Garcia hospital in downtown Havana when she and Pardo were ``dragged toward the car. She was ``thrown head-first inside,'' where ``they applied judo or karate holds to us and the punches . . . kept raining down.''  Cuba's best-known blogger Yoani Sanchez said state security officials seized and assaulted her in an effort to block her participation in a march against violence.

Spiritualist Deepak Chopra comes to mind as one of the Left’s loudest purveyors of hate speech. Chopra has a problem with the beliefs of mainstream Christianity and its place in America and American history, but his deep prejudice goes unrebuked by champions of tolerance like Pelosi.

American Lion

We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.

How far the President will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin. Dismantling America

American Lion Thomas Sowell says he receives "pathetic letters and e-mails . . . . from people who ask why I don't write more 'positively' about Obama or 'give him the benefit of the doubt.'"   His answer?  The world is too dangerous -- and our president too naive -- for any more pretending.

As for the benefit of the doubt, no one — especially not the President of the United States — is entitled to that, when his actions can jeopardize the rights of 300 million Americans domestically and the security of the nation in an international jungle, where nuclear weapons may soon be in the hands of people with suicidal fanaticism. Will it take a mushroom cloud over an American city to make that clear? Was 9/11 not enough?

When a President of the United States has begun the process of dismantling America from within, and exposing us to dangerous enemies outside, the time is long past for being concerned about his public image. He has his own press agents for that.  Dismantling America II

There is no eight year old who would say that -- it's so absurd. And the second half? That is adolescent utopianism. Obama talks in platitudes, but offers a vision to the world of America diminished or constrained, and willing to share leadership in a way that no other presidency and no other great power would.

President Obama promised to usher in a New Era, but can he deliver?  Robert Heiler thinks Obama's ego won't be enough to smooth out facts.  President Obama and American Exceptionalism

On a similar note, Michael Barone follows up his Obama Rejects American Exceptionalism with Obama at Odds with His Own Vision of the World:

Some conservatives were irritated that Obama introduced himself at the Tiergarten as "a fellow citizen of the world." But before that, he declared himself "a proud citizen of the United States," and of his 46 paragraphs only one was devoted to an apology for America's misdeeds ("our share of mistakes," "times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions"). Quite a contrast here with the more profuse apologies he has made abroad this year.

Decide for yourself what the most disgraceful aspect of this is.

Was it Anita Dunn going out of her way to say she respects Major Garrett as a fair reporter — before the administration decided he didn’t deserve a crack here at Feinberg? Or was it the repeated insistence by Dunn and Axelrod that of course the administration will make its officials available to Fox — before pulling the plug today?  White House Tries to Bar FOX From Interviewing Pay Czar

Jacob Laksin: FOX and Foes

What may have seemed like partisan sniping was in fact part of a broader administration strategy to discredit FOX. White House communications director Anita Dunn, having earlier dismissed FOX as “a wing of the Republican Party,” revealed last week that the White House had devised an offensive campaign against the network. “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” Dunn explained, adding that “we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

With its ominous undercurrent of meddling in the news business, the White House’s smear campaign should have prompted an outcry from the media. Beyond the specific attacks on FOX, after all, the president and his staff were in effect pushing media outlets to adopt their preferred standard for journalistic legitimacy – a veiled threat to the freedom and independence of the press. Yet, with a few notable exceptions – including the far-Left columnist Helen Thomas, who warned the administration to avoid fights with the media and “not kill the messenger” – much of the news establishment stayed conspicuously silent.

Barack Obama's Alinsky Revolution:

As more mainstream Americans see what is behind the Obama agenda, they realize how dangerous it is to our nation – an agenda driven by the writings of a man who hated America, Saul Alinsky. In the short time Obama has been in power, we’ve witnessed:

*The virtual bankruptcy of our economy. The deficit is at $2 trillion and rising with the overwhelming majority of the money spent to grow the federal government.

*More than 35 “Czars” controlling billions of dollars and making management decisions about everything from our auto industry to “green” jobs to urban development. These Czars answer to no one but Barack Obama!

*A maniacal attempt to socialize our health care! Contrary to his stylish rhetoric, the Obama plan will put private insurers out of business and put bureaucrats in charge of our health care. Anyone who has stood in line at the Post Office or waited in a security line at an airport has had a glimpse of a future with government-controlled health care.

*Raising our taxes. Obama’s first budget will consume 28% of the entire GDP! 28%! He plans to repeal the Bush tax cuts, raise income taxes, the capital gains tax and block the repeal of the estate tax (death tax) for the sake of “morality,” he said. But there is nothing moral about taking more and more of your family’s income to feed his socialist agenda.
