Hate
Friday, September 11, 2009 at 07:20AM
Maybe you haven't noticed yet but the latest propaganda program to hit the new media is well underway. It started (maybe I should say ramped back up) not too long ago with observations and insinuations that people who objected to Mr. Obama's campaign to 'reform' health care did so out of hatred for the man. What other possible reason could there be--they believe--for refusing to let the government take over health care except hate?
As people continue to suggest there may be hatred out there for the President--and more importantly hatred for his supporters, a new thread has emerged where "concerned" citizens suggest that they are beginning to fear for their own well being if they speak out in favor of the presidents plan. The debate they insist has evolved--with an emphasis on potential hostility against them which might develop into something truly serious.
The point is of course to suggest that if we don't get past this "division," and come together (that means bend over and let liberals have their way) someone is going to get shot or killed. Picture Russian and American jets circling each other in some cold war standoff. One loose missile and its WWIII. Only here the missiles are words and ideas. That is the image they are trying to seep out into the collective unconscious. Call it reverse fear.
This is a fine tack to take if you can get past the previous eight years of hate and death hurled at Mr. Bush, everyone in his administration, and anyone who had the gall to support anything he ever said or did. Hate has been standard fare from the left. They are its primary purveyors wielding racism and class warfare the way an unscrupulous butcher uses his thumb to tip the scale as much in favor as you will allow. But when you object, they cry hatred themselves and claim their livelihood is in jeopardy. And so it is now. Are they just being a bunch of whiners?
Yes, but I believe there is a more insidious plot developing beneath that.
First, selling fear of the right scares people into believing that this is a unique situation in politics. They want you to believe that the voices of opposition have taken on a unique tenor whose only logical conclusion is violence if something isn't done soon. That unless we act now to mitigate the cause the once safe arena of political debate will be strewn with the blood of innocents. The initial goal of course is to stifle objection to a federal conquest of Health Care, but the primary objective is certainly much bigger.
The violence argument lays the fundamental groundwork for the golden calf of the left wing agenda--the end of any interpretation of the second amendment that permits private gun ownership for self defense. If violence is demonstrated to be inevitable, then owning weapons has to be seen as a threat to the constitutional right of conscientious objection. If violence occurs, more the better. So to protect the higher privilege of free speech, (which they in fact seek to repress at all costs if it opposes theirs) the second amendment will have to give way.
This most recent effort really started when DHS "slipped up" and intentionally--I'm sorry, accidentally released a report on the so-called risks of right wing extremism. Since then the idea has been sold to the blue sheep through the usual liberal mouth pieces who regurgitate it amongst themselves hoping the stench will offend enough people outside their little cesspools to stimulate them into if not belief, then at least a willingness to play along.
Note how racism is regularly resurrected before the public to keep the notion of tension in focus. Hate is recycled into even the most sublime reports almost as an after thought. But to make real progress the left must perpetuate the idea of trigger happy right wing extremists who are, like a powder keg, just waiting for a spark to ignite. They must continue to inject that idea into the public's consciousness at every convenient opportunity hoping it will gain traction so that should something occur the narrative will have been in place all along.
But the reality is quite different. Regular people object to Obama's agenda, not the man himself.THey cringe at the obvious hypocrisy and contradiction, of which the liberal sale of right wing hate is but one more example. They are passionate yes, but no where near as incendiary as their liberal counterparts were or have been. And if you look at the history of political violence most of it has come left of center and there is a reason for that. Liberal politics is based on feelings not values.
So do not buy into this rationale that liberal activists are in danger from an agitated right wing. It's a massive smoke screen perpetrated to pollute the public consciousness, one that demands that we not just ignore but forget all the hate liberals have hurled at their opponents.

The hatred from the left toward us 'old white crackers' at these protests is immeasurable.
Combined with the health care bill provisions that will take money from our Medicare, we really have something to fear because it seems ours are the very lives these elitists do not value.
This is about a power grab not about health care for anyone.
What you fondly call "our medicare" was a very controversial program supported by the left and opposed by the right.
Same with social security
The years have proven both of these programs as popular. They enabled more American families to thrive despite old age and ill health
The result is a middle class--yes working people-- that make America the envy of the world.
Now, people like me--I don't care what you call us--are sincerely trying once again to improve the lives of millions of Americans.
That's all we're doing, but If you read the signs at this weekends rally you will see how deep the hatred is against president Obama and people like myself.
I love the right-wingers when they finally come across and support the left-wingers ideas. It reminds me that common sense eventually wins out, and we're all Americans.
I also love America and our Constitution. I don't know what this hate is all about, but I'm glad we have President Barack Obama in the White House.
I don't myself get medicare or social security -- I am not in the system. But you just know from the philosophies of the handlers they are aiming for a more controlled way of managing society (Soros' idea) and they will ration care for the older people sooner or later when they go bankrupt.
Anyone who can read understands this. Have you read the ideas that are driving this? It's downright hateful, and hate you won't own up to. Maybe YOU in your misguided way are thinking you are helping people but believe me, this is not about helping anyone. This is about paying back the people who put this creep in office. They are elitists who think they know what's best for the peons in the world. They want to play god.
But I get the sense you two don't do a whole lot of reading. How do you defend these nutjobs like Holdren, Sunstein, Emanuel, Singer, and Koh? You never respond... so that's a silent acceptance of their nutty ideas. People are don't want those kind of people managing their health care... and I don't blame them.
Jim I don't know what your hatred toward America is all about either... when the lefties mounted a serious hateful campaign against Bush, they could call for his death openly and nothing happened to them. I don't care for Bush myself, but some of the things they did were over the top. I would never call for someone's death.

I read the signs -- they were about looting the country, overtaxing, and overcontrolling, and confiscation of the wealth -- nothing racist or hateful there. But you can dream can't you. You can keep convincing yourself it's about race because it's so easy to say that.. the shock value has worn off. It isn't working anymore.
Calling Obama a liar is our GOD GIVEN RIGHT. Being a 'liar' has nothing to do with race no matter how you spin it -- no matter how you try to pull this old chestnut. It gets boring after a while. Calling Obama a liar is in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM 'racist'. Joe Wilson had the NUTS to say something we were all thinking. I respect him for that. He may have been rude but so were the founding fathers. I will never worry about being rude to stand up for my rights.
What else have you two got to argue with? Nothing. Not a brain cell between the two of you.
I haven't supported left-wing ideas.... I'm just proving why the middle class is afraid for themselves and they should be.. When this monster gets done with this country, we won't recognize it as the free place it once was. Jim if you love the Constitution so much why are you hell bent on destroying it? Why do you libel and slander people, across the board as a group? How can you be glad we have someone who is looting and spending and handing out money to his euro-trash friends faster than we can count it?
Shame on you.
Your great ideas have accumulated $110 TRILLION in debt.
Even an America running on all cylinders without moonbats in charge can not pay that obligation off. Your better life for the masses socialist schemes have failed.
Whom will you blame when the bill come due?
Not yourselves as usual - because YOU MEANT WELL.
What a childish and destructive obsession.
Jim Splaine and Chaz are so blinded by partisan politics they cannot see the forest through the trees and are completely unwilling to see the failure of big government.

As to the fight over partisan politics, you are all morans that vote for either party. The Congressional approval rating prior to the last election was a mere 9%, but you retards not only re-elected most of the incumbents, but also provided all of your presidential votes to a couple of morans that were sitting Congresstards. How stupid do you have to be to keep voting for the people you hate, and make excuses for them immediately after saying how much you didn't want to waste your vote for a third party member? Wasted vote? I have never voted for a Democrat or Republican and not thought that vote wasted before the term was up, but I learned, what is your excuse?
Partisan politics is the leash that the Masters use to keep the sheep voting for the wolves and against the sheepdogs. Stupid sheep.
A bit off topic don't you think?
