A friend of mine lives in Kona on the Big Island in Hawaii. He has a fishing boat which he proudly named the 44-DD after a spectacular feature of his wife's anatomy. This is not about that sort of Double-D.
While it may be difficult to keep your mind off what that spectacular feature might look like - just as it's hard to comply with the demand that you not think of a pink elephant - let's try and focus on a Double-D that can rescue our country from the clutches of the Fascist Democrat Party and the destruction being wrought upon it by President Zero.
So - what does this Double-D stand for? It's a strategy for any Republican wanting to get elected or re-elected to Congress in 2010, and for any Tea Partyer wanting to take individual action now against a government that ignores the Constitution. Double-D stands for Defund and Disobey.
Let's talk about the Defund D first. The Founders in their usual brilliance place the power of the purse in the House, whose members must face election every two years - for if they become profligate with this power the voters can throw them out within months (24 max) rather than wait years (6) like the Senate.
All Appropriation bills authorizing any branch of the federal government (legislative, judicial, executive) to spend any money for any program must be initiated in and passed by a majority of the House. The Senate can only agree or disagree, and the same with the President.
The obverse of this appropriation authority is that if the House doesn't authorize money for something, then no money can be spent on that something by anyone in the federal government.

Big feet?
>> I reject the rejection
You understand that I rejected the implication that the need for guns presumes the need for violence?
>> I don’t know what else than what’s been rejected to cure it.
The answer to that concern is above my pay grade.
Suffice it to say, this country has not seen a quandry the likes of now since before its inception. I don’t know how much plainer to make it.
These poor disadvantaged poor girls suffer from the dreaded “Incomplete T-Shirt Donning” Syndrome...Please provide names, addresses, phone numbers so that we can render 1st responder care.
ping to this pic...gotta use it in tomorrows OFST thread
I help many a well endowed girl go through college. They were so humble they never asked for more than a dollar at a time and were so poor they could only rent clothes that they had to remove after wearing for only meer minutes.
I don’t believe that was what he meant...
OMG!
WHO IS THAT?
My gosh..why am I suddenly thinking of milkshakes?
I just analyzed probable countermeasures to the tactics suggested in the article.
Disobey federal law and Fed law enforcement will act. They can arrest many and ignore the rest. Leftist statist judges can set high bail amounts for tea baggers and OR for counter demonstrating anarchists. Property seizures including cash can be immediately used by cops.
The only way to control selective enforcement/prosecution is to defund ALL law enforcement.
This would rely on sympathy from statist media and statist liberals to turn public opinion in favor of the defunders. If they are portrayed as the selfish rich defunders, public sympathy may never come.
Excellent premise, and well worth heeding.
One of the main strategies of Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America and consequent “revolution” was exactly that - to defund (immediately or gradually) the programs which were the pillars of Democrats’ hold on power - welfare reform, reform of Medicare finance mechanism and its bureaucracy “withering on the vine” and unions through the sets of laws and court decisions (such as Beck).
Unfortunately, people like Bob “The Compromise” Dole and “compassionate conservatives” like George W. Bush and Tom “We are not spending too much” DeLay thought to benefit from granting the largess of bigger government... and we know the predictable results.
Defunding the opposition through public policy and public relations campaign justifying it is step one in putting this country on sound fiscal footing. Democrats are very adept in this, but do it under the cover of tangential bills, Republicans should expose it and bring it to light as much as possible.
We have to define them before they “define” themselves and demonize the opposition. Sadly, after Reagan, very few have even given it a try - and they have been demonized by opposition and the media without much support from their cohorts.
I would add one more word to the "Double D": PROVE! ( All candidates must **PROVE** they are eligible for the office!)
DD&P (De-fund, Disobey, and PROVE! ( Otherwise this is a GREAT essay! I hope it grows legs!)
ain’t nobody got’em THAT big, do they??
*faint*
Double-D stands for Defund and Disobey
Well, of course!!!! They’s all jess schoolgirls workin’ they way through college....
Neither were the Brits at the time and place. Gandhi was jailed, and so were many of his followers. The tide turned for him when hundreds of his followers were killed.
Put at blood-and-gut level, Gandhi's strategy of non-violent resistance involves showing the immorality of the oppressor through said oppressor jailing and killing people who don't deserve it. In order for the strategy to work, the innocents have to be jailed and/or killed.
When spelled out, it gets a leetle less inspiring.
Yeah, I understand what you said. My comment was trying to point out that “this could get ugly quick” was likely referring to the 44-DD breast reference.
