Another article shows how Republicans are being belligerent when a great number of them should peacefully submit to increased taxes and limited access to healthcare. When calls to legislators, letters to the editor, articles by policy analysists, and other forms of political expression don’t work, Republicans should know the game is over.
Obama’s community organizers are explaining that Republicans don’t have brains, but they are acting as puppets of lobbyist groups and pundits. Actually, there are so few Republicans, many protestors are carpet-bagged in by the Bush administration. One woman actually claimed to be non-partisan when the Internet clearly showed she was active in the Republican Party until severing affiliations a year and a half ago. The severity of these claims should bolster the president’s stance in the eyes of any self-respecting, lame-brained Republican.
For the record, I am not a Republican, but I protest government control of the medical industry. If you Google my name, you will not find that I am a Republican, but that I believe the government got top military secrets from aliens in UFO’s. I’d rather be a Republican, but such is the Internet.
I don’t own a television, and radio reception at home and work is poor, so I only listen to the radio going to and from work. My computer, after two trips to the repairman, still refuses to stream audio; so I’m not sure where I’m listening to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
My misinformation began in the public schools when my civics teacher had me doing extra credit reports on John Locke and other thinkers who laid the groundwork for the American Revolution. It continued with a love of the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson and respect for the U.S. Constitution. I then got turned on to the writings of Milton Freedman, David Friedman, F. A. Hayek, Ayn Rand, Ezra Taft Benson and the publications of think tanks like the Cato Institute and the John Locke Foundation. I retain only a shelf and a half of classics on economics and public policy. This hardly compares to the amount of research conducted by Democrats. Don’t you need at least two Nobel Prizes these days to check the D on your voter registration?
Conservatives are being called out for circulating pamphlets telling people to disrupt town hall meetings and throw elected representatives off-balance by getting them off their scripts. Allegations that conservatives have stooped to such lowly measures have been confirmed by authorities at the New York Times. In the face of such unthinkable tactics, the White House has had no recourse but to “start sending supporters instructions for countering what they say are the organized disruptions.”
It appears conservatives are misinformed. That is, their idols have instilled in them inappropriate expectations of what their life expectancy, level of personal comfort, or even medical expenses ought to be. In addition, conservatives are having difficulty differentiating between general socialism and national socialism. In doing so, they have raised flags at agencies that are now trying to silence their hate speech.
Tactics have included shouting threats such as, “read the bill,” and comparing government control of all economic sectors to “tyranny.” Evil Republicans have toted an effigy of one legislator and a mock tombstone of another one. Then, there was the scary death threat mentioned in the previous post.
“On Thursday, top White House aides tried to bolster Senate Democrats during a lunch meeting, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous public forums,” saith the article. Legislators were reportedly told to “punch back twice as hard” if hit; but of course a punch from a Democrat is an expression of hope for a new day, whereas the first punch was certainly hate speech.
