REVOLUTION DAY IS COMING SOON!

Posted by Ronbo in the Freedom Fighter's Journal
"Political satire and protected speech under the First Amendment."
"No doubt it will happen on a beautiful sunny day like September 11, 2001 - We will wake up one morning and go to our jobs (if we still have a job) or be sleeping late hung over because we don't have a job anymore.
"How will we know something terrible has happened?
"EVERYTHING WILL STOP!"...More...

The article depicts an uprising against a government that seeks to control more and more elements of our lives. While this article may not reflect the feelings of most citizens -TEA Party or otherwise- there is a growing undercurrent of anger that the socialism we resisted for decades in the Cold War we now begin to embrace.
There seems to be little of the former respect for the "loyal opposition", but instead a level of vitriol that began emanating from the left and grows by the day. And who can not feel anger when TEA Partiers stage peaceful, respectful protests in the streets against Obama policies, leaving the place clean in the aftermath, yet are vilified by the left? They are taunted by Democrats in congress and accused of evil deeds by a corrupted press - the same press and Democrats who exalt the shabby antics of the OWS crowd.
Read the signs carried by the Occupy crowd and tell me you do not see the roots of civil war beginning to sprout in America. The FFJ story may be satire, but it is scary when placed alongside the statements of the American left and its mood should not be lightly regarded. TD

Cassy Fiano: Remembering Our Fallen

TD belatedly came across this Memorial Day post at the Cassy Fiano blog. She is the wife of a Camp Lejeune Marine and supports him and his buddies in every way she can, especially with this blog. I feel a special kinship with her family, having been stationed at "Swamp" Lejeune with Alpha 1/2 back in 1959-61.
This post is very special for Memorial Day as she recognizes buddies of her husband who have paid the ultimate price. But these men deserve recognition year-round and any day is good to post this.
The riff-raff occupying our cities for some time are not fit to carry the baggage of these young Marines.
God bless you, Cassy.

"These are just seven of the countless servicemembers who have given their lives for their country. These are just our fallen. Today, I hope that you’ll see their names, look at their faces, and read what is just a small fraction of the lives they led. So often, we turn the fallen into nothing more than a man in a uniform who became a hero. We need to remember not just the sacrifices they made, but the lives they lived and the people they were. Take the time to remember the 6 men we lost from 1/8, to remember Balthaser, and everyone who gave their lives so that we could be free."

Smokin’ Hot Commentary
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. -- Ronald Reagan

Obama ruling by decree

Thomas Lifson  "Remember when the Constitution applied, and a president wanting to implement a new program would have to persuade Congress to pass a law and appropriate money? President Obama, facing a GOP House, has chosen to use executive orders and is getting away with it. And he is openly proclaiming his intent to do more of it."

Neal Boortz: Dear Ruler apparently can no longer wait for Congress to act,.. "Oh well .. you get the idea. I guess the bottom line is that We Can’t Wait to correct the massive error we made four years ago. We introduced a virus into the bloodstream of governance … and the voters are cure."

Thomas Sowell:Random Thoughts  "Have you ever heard anyone as incoherent as the people staging protests across the country? Taxpayers ought to be protesting against having their money spent to educate people who end up unable to say anything beyond repeating political catch phrases."....
"Most of us may lament the fact that so many more people are today dependent on food stamps and other government subsidies. But dependency usually translates into votes for whoever is handing out the benefits, so an economic disaster can be a political bonanza, as it was for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Don't count Obama out in 2012."

NO NUKES FOR YOU!

JIHAD: holy struggle or holy war?

CampusChristians  "I do not know if other Muslim countries are condemning the actions of these Islamic nations that so easily violate human rights. I do not know if Muslims outside of those countries are even aware of the problems going on within their theologically diverse ranks of other nations. But, when a Holy Book like the Qur’an advocates Holy War, when the very sayings and deeds of their beloved Prophet Muhammad advocate Jihad, and when we see some Islamic nations killing non Muslims -- because they are not Muslims, how can we not be worried about what they would do if they had control of the world....as is their goal."


Romney Unable to Capitalize on Obama's Weakness

Taegan D. Goddard's Political Wire  "Despite Obama's obvious vulnerabilities, Romney has been unable to make himself a more attractive candidate.
"Key findings: "Romney is stuck at 45% on the vote -- virtually unchanged all year. He is not popular, and his personal ratings are not improving. His mean thermometer rating is at just 43.1 degrees, the lowest since we began tracking. As the only Republican who seems to have any staying power, for now, voters are left with this choice. As a result, more people are volunteering they will vote for a third party candidate for President.""
Now that is a scary thought!

Goddard also has this: Obama Losing His Base
 

Steve Wynn Blasts Obama/Reid/Pelosi Economy: “The Speeches Are Great – the Actions Are Horrifying”

NiceDeb  Casino Exec, Steven Wynn blasted the Obama administration and his congressional toadies in an interview with Neil Cavuto, yesterday. He recounted a stunning conversation he had had in early 2010 with the NV Dem Rep, Shelley Berkley regarding ObamaCare. When he begged her to reconsider voting for the heinous bill, she had told him, “Steve I know it’s terrible. My husband’s a doctor. He hates it too. But if I don’t vote for it, she will punish me.”

Is Obama Losing Iraq?

Powerline  "After eight years, enough is enough. If the Iraqis are capable of governing themselves and joining the modern world, they will do so. If not, they won’t. But if they fail, it won’t be the fault of the Obama administration or the USA." John Hinderaker

I couldn't disagree more with this position. The issue is no longer helping the Iraqis build a nation; it is protecting American security by holding back Iran which is licking its chops over the thought of that nation being a Persian Gulf superpower.
I believe Obama does not care if Iran is the winner in all this and Iraq falls under their hegemony; he will blame it all on President Bush with the support of Democrats in Congress and a compliant media.
The next president is the one who will inherit a mess like you won't believe to clean up. TD 

Art work at right by Rich Terrell and Norman Somebody.
"You can expect the theme for Obama’s reelection being one that shows his leadership, tough decision making, and proven results in bringing our enemies to justice. The other debacles such as Gitmo, his world apology tours, handing over Central Europe to a Putin-controlled Russia, pushing Israeli relations to extremes, and his unwillingness to confront Iran will go unmentioned."

Heritage: The Decline and Fall of Obama’s Foreign Policy Czars  "As another Foreign Policy commentator put it, “the president’s decision to appoint so many czars was a classic rookie mistake that has not really worked out very well for anyone.”"

OAKLAND, CA. FIRES THE FIRST SHOT AT DESTROYING THE OCCUPY EVENT

Atlas Shrugs "This Occupy (bowel) movement is the very opposite of the Tea party. Occupy seeks to destroy, Tea seeks to rebuild. Occupy mooches and loots, Tea produces. Occupy hates, Tea loves. Occupy wants to destroy capitalism and instead have us live as slaves under socialsim. Tea seeks to restore capitalism, individual rights and personal responsibility.
"Obama hearts Occupy. Muslim Brotherhood hearts Occupy. The American Nazi party hearts Occupy
"Thuggery, vandalism, lack of concern for sanitation, and various other crimes was over the top for Oakland officials -- including an attack on a nearby bank. Here is the Tuesday Morning time line as over 100 police in riot gear took down "OCCUPY OAKLAND" between 4am and 6am this morning:"....

Is Occupy Oakland as Bad as They Say?  "Remember Lovelle Mixon, the serial rapist, child molester and murderer who single-handedly committed one of the worst mass killings of police officers in American history? Yeah, that guy. Well, the anti-police sentiment at Occupy Oakland is so intense that they regard Lovelle Mixon as a hero!! Whatever other crimes he may have committed, if he offed some pigs, then all is forgiven. F--k the Po-lice! Power to the people!"  Many photos including this one:

Alan Caruba: The Value of a Single Israeli Soldier

Warning Signs  " Had the Israelis merely released one or a few prisoners their return would evoke suspicion, but with more than a thousand such prisoners it will prove impossible for Hamas to know which among them are double agents.
"No people survive more than three thousand years against the greatest of odds and a multitude of enemies without learning a few lessons along the way. Hamas will pay the price in the weeks, months, and years ahead."

Citizen Media Show The True Nature Of Occupy Chicago

Big Journalism  "Like the rest of the large cities in the US, Chicago is currently suffering from small pockets of Occupy protesters and their ever-present signs. Like with every other big city these signs are often misspelled, sometimes profane, commonly anti-capitalist, occasionally anti-Semitic, almost always anti-American, not to mention merely ignorant of the facts. But one thing that is the same in every protest, at least in the media reportage of same, is that the worst of the signs go unseen by the general American news consumer.
"Chicago blogger John Ruberry took his trusty camera downtown to the Windy City and captured some pretty representative signs the like of which were similar signs seen at Tea Party events would have made the nightly news programs for their outrageous messages."

The attack on Judge Bork- the end of any trace of civility in political discourse

Judge Robert Bork
The Bork Nomination, 24 Years On  "Perhaps the most disgusting of all those disgusting performances was committed by one of America’s most disgusting families, the Kennedys. The day Robert Bork was nominated, Senator Ted Kennedy rose in the Senate and said this:
Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit down at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of democracy.
The NY Times article cited in the above: The Ugliness Started With Bork  "The anger between Democrats and Republicans, the unwillingness to work together, the profound mistrust — the line from Bork to today’s ugly politics is a straight one."

Carry On Borking, Say Libs "You can see that in the contrast between the Tea Party and the Occupy movement. Tea Party activists know they have always to be on their best behavior, because at any moment they could be accused of sexism, racism or incivility. The Occupy folks are much less guarded; they are free to hate anyone they choose, from Jews to bankers. The whole point of community organizing is to organize hate.
"This country needs a satiric movie, "Carry On Borking," to make fun of all the liberal haters. It could feature all the liberal stereotypes: the community organizer, the eco-terrorist, the ACORN rent-a-mob, the pro-choice termagant, maybe even the crony capitalist. "
