Instead, by personally assassinating the character of America’s founding members and its current political leadership in times of war and peace, they done what Ayers recommended: heightened the tension between classes. It becomes more about who is the winner and loser, and less about what the good of America is. If you can destroy the character of a leader and make his followers think he is incompetent or insane, half the battle is already won.

Whenever Americans are tortured and suffering, where ever Americans die, Obama gets a big fat smile on his face. But the problem was never Obama. Get rid of him, and the Left’s evil alliance will still be in power, with a new replacement. No matter how many elections you win, no matter how many people you convince, there is no victory against the Left without the execution of all Leftist leaders and cadre cells. Such has been the case for many wars for the right to exist in human history. We are no different.

And that is how we are now to be ruled by our betters.

It’s stupid and pointless to limit the size of soft drinks sold. “So what. We’re doing it anyway.”

Most people are not in favor of passing a 2000 page health law before it is read, debated, and vetted. “So what. We don’t give a damn what you think. We’re doing it anyway.”

80+ million Americans are law-abiding citizens who have chosen to exercise their rights under the 2nd Amendment to own various sorts of firearms; and millions more may not own any, but are in full sympathy with their loved ones, close friends, or relatives who do. “So what. We’re introducing wide-sweeping legislation intended to take away your guns, and marginalize and demonize you if you don’t comply, anyway. Here – take a look at our middle finger, you neanderthals.”

The vast majority of Americans have no interest whatsoever in seeing their daughters, sisters, nieces or mothers placed into front line infantry combat units. “So what. If we want your opinion, we’ll ask for it. We’re doing this because, Shut up.”

What is shocking to me, and something I don’t think the old-school (e.g., Nat Review, etc.) conservative pundits have even processed in their minds is this: The old ways, where politicians would test the winds and go where the polls guide them — appear to be disappearing. Look at my examples above. I have gotten to the point where I roll my eyes if I read something along the lines of “Dem rep XX has to be cautious in supporting proposal Y since it might not be popular with his constituents.” Bah. That kind of thinking is SOO first 232 years of our history, thinking! How passe!

2014 is the target year for the left. They want the House. Then NOTHING will stand in their way – including “suspending” the presidental term limits, if they decide that is what the want to do, and want to keep O in office. The bulls eye will be on, and (under the table) BILLIONS will be spent, putting the full court press on knocking off the few and select GOP congressmen who are vulnerable – to get control of the House.

Then all bets are off. We think its troubling now? We ain’t seen NOTHING yet.

I feel so badly for my kids.

As a more general observation, it seems that the lefties in govt and the media are doing their best to sell folks on a philosophy that says “NOTHING really matters except keeping us in power so we can get you stuff for free. The truth doesn’t matter, principles don’t matter, values don’t matter, America doesn’t matter — the only thing that matters is that we’re in charge and this time we’re not letting the Republican back in.” This strikes me as a real authoritarian kind of mindset. Perhaps it stems from the liberals’ dismay and revulsion over what they saw from the Republican side under Reagan and GWB, which is a party trying to use the flag and”family values” as a trojan horse for policies that the libs saw as mean-spirited and backward. Maybe the libs have decided that they can’t compete with the GOP if things like “truth, justice, and the American way” matter, so they say to people, “F— that crap. Who cares? What we’re about is free phones and birth control.”

Absolutely, Lisa. That is *exactly* why Hillary takes for granted that she can get away with such an outrageous, contemptuous statement.

Rubbish or not, that’s the rationale for the course they chose on Libya and they’re staying the course. The present Middle East policy is the direct result of the opposition to the Iraq intervention.
