For those of you who will gleefully point out the hypocrisy of Democrats grousing about organized grassroots activism — whether well-funded or organic — you just don't get it. It is imperative that we start thinking about the world in a counterintuitive way.More at Memeorandum.
In today's world, the "radicals" are the ones who protest the takeover of a huge swath of the economy by government bureaucrats who have proven they can't even run a program that gives free money away to car buyers properly. It is radicals who want to preserve the pillars of a system that over 80 percent of Americans still believe works — though certainly not perfectly.
In this new world, radicals are the ones who protest adding trillions to our debt and who have the temerity to ask if legislators have read the bills they sign. You've seen them. Those radicals who are ranting and raving about silly things like the Constitution.
So here is a plan. Instead of making the case for health care "reform," let's launch an offensive against citizens. Nazis. Fanatics. Mobs. Thugs. Whatever you call them.
And if you're really patriotic, you can even report them.
Plus, from Dr. Helen, "I now see these people in a number of public places and all over the internet and I must say, it warms my heart and makes me remember what this country is about."
One just can't help getting the impression that the tea parties and other protests resemble some type of "community organizing." Wasn't Obama a "community organizer?" Why is it appropriate for the radical left (Obama is radical left.) to organize for protest, and not appropriate for everyday working, productive citizens to organize and protest.
ReplyDeleteShame on the media for taking sides in this issue when the media is supposedly an objective reporter.
