Bill Ayers and his cohorts have been counting on this for 40 years.

The sign is a declaration of seditious overthrow of the government. It would be treasonous if it was in support of a foreign power (like North Vietnamese Communists troops) in war time (as Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, and others were guilty of).

Put People First - March for Jobs, Justice & the Environment

Monday, 23 March 2009

On 28th March thousands of trade unionists, socialists, communists and progressives will march through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20, ahead of their 2nd April summit on the global financial crisis.

Even before the economic crisis, the world suffered poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos. With more than £1,200 billion pounds pledged to bail out the banks it's working people who are being forced to pay.

I am starting to think that free and fair elections will never happen again. With billions from the stimulus and now the GIVE Act the leftist groups will turn out to support Obama and the ‘Democrats’ like never before. The left media will never allow anything like the other side of the story to be aired. If the FCC enacts laws that destroy talk radio and who knows what they might do to the internet we will not be able to challenge them in the public square.

If this comes to pass Obama will not debate the GOP candidate, he will just dismiss the GOP as a fringe element.
Years of new programs and announcements, energy subsidies for the poor as O drives up the cost of electricity, govt buying cars for the poor, more food programs for the middle class as they drive up the price of food and on and on.

If talk radio is dismantled, its over. We are a one-party state with a fringe minority of ‘usurpers’. Just like a country called Zimbabwe. With ACORN writing the census and Dems redrawing districts it wouldn’t matter if we got 55% or 60% of the vote, we still wouldn’t get a House majority.

I remember when Democrats were winning most seats from Texas even with the GOP getting something like 57% of the statewide vote. The lines were drawn for them. Thankfully we had new lines drawn after the GOP won a bare majority, even though the Democrat members bolted to Oklahoma and then New Mexico to deny them a quorum.

I think that after the 2010 vote, it will become abundantly clear that we won’t get our free republic back without violence. That is my greatest fear but it sure seems headed in that direction.

LONDON (AFP) — Thousands of angry demonstrators rallied in London Wednesday on the eve of a G20 summit on the global economic crisis, as police deployed in force.

Amid bright spring sunshine, demonstrators rallied to causes ranging from helping the world’s poor, action against climate change and punishing those reponsible for the current downturn.

“It’s our money they’ve stolen” read a placard branded outside the Bank of England, as huge crowds gathered in the City to protest Thursday’s summit.

One protestor dressed as the Grim Reaper led the rally to the central bank, where demonstrators chanted: “Build a bonfire, build a bonfire. Put the bankers on the top.

“Put (Prime Minister) Gordon Brown in the middle. And then burn the ... lot,” they added.

The Times described the pre-summit security lockdown as “Fortress London” while the City AM newspaper ran the frontpage headline: “G20: A City Under Siege.”

The threat of terrorism is also taken seriously — and while there is no specific information about an attack, police are on high alert with the national terror threat level at “severe”, meaning an attack is “highly likely.”

Police say around 2,500 officers are taking part in the massive operation to secure the G20, along with more to protect and escort world leaders and international officials at the summit.

All leave for officers in London has been cancelled for the summit and police have been called in from five other forces to bolster available resources....

Four pro-capitalists can be seen - with one holding a “Who is John Galt?” placard, a reference to the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged. Another protestor held a placard against government intervention in the economy.

No mention of SOCIALISM. No mention of DEATH THREATS (what do they think rhetoric about burning people alive is???).

I loathe the Liberal establishment.

The media have been pinning these protests on international anti-Bush/U.S. foreign policy, sentiment for 8 years now.

Today?

Asked if the U.S. is to blame for the problems, Obama said the U.S. “has some accounting to do” with respect to the regulatory system, but also said that around the world there was a “mismatch” in regulatory regimes.

But, said Obama, “I had a professor when I was in law school who said some are to blame but all are responsible. I think that’s the best way for us to approach this now.” Brown nodded as Obama spoke.

The media always seems to conveniently forget who tried to tighten regulations on Freddie and Fannie and who it was that thwarted those attempts.
