Obama Playing Chicken with American Men
American Thinker ^ | 1/18/13 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 01/18/2013 4:00:59 AM PST by Evil Slayer

The Obama administration's current warpath against so-called "gun violence" -- which is Newspeak for non-violence committed by non-criminals with their non-illegal private property -- is a brazen challenge to America's manhood. The progressives have apparently decided that this is the moment when they can play their ultimate authoritarian hand, and let the chips fall where they may. They believe, in other words, that this is the moment when they may be able to break America at last, one way or another.

Through Obama's forceful, smug insistence on taking action in defiance of Congress, along with the aggressive urging to do so from his sycophants in the progressive elite -- from the vice president and the senate majority leader on down -- the leftists are engaging in a game of chicken with the American spirit that is disturbing both for its immediate intentions and for its revelation of their thought process and game plan.

In light of the well-known fact that their proposals and trial balloons will be judged by millions of Americans to be an outright violation of constitutionally protected liberties -- and liberties of the most emotionally trenchant nature, namely those related to the very foundations of limited government -- the progressives' deliberate projection of haste and intransigence on gun control must not merely be taken at face value, and judged on its "merits." It must also be interpreted -- in other words, one must ask precisely what they are hoping to achieve by attacking the most deeply held principles of so many Americans in such a heavy-handed fashion.

It seems to me that there are two plausible interpretations of their open chastisement of "all this debate" over Second Amendment concerns, i.e., their boisterous spitting upon the U.S. Constitution.

The first option is that they believe the citizenry of

"The other example we can look at is Libya. When Kaddhafi ordered his army to attack Libyans, more than 75% deserted and returned to their provinces to protect their families. Kaddhafi and his elite mercenaries ended up dead after the deserters joined with the provincial militias and wiped them out."

Kaddafi ended up dead after Obama intervened with air power, weapons, technical support, and covert boots on the ground. Without that intervention, Kadaffi would likely still be in power.

I will stand alone and fight tyranny if need be.

You've got a friend in me, LLS. I'll fight from the same foxholes if it means knowing that my brother is a FReeper.

That ship has sailed and most males, I hate to refer to them as “men” have made their choice. As demonestrated by the results of the 2008 and 2012 elections, their choice was,”Enslave me dear leader,I wish to lick your boots and kiss your ass forever”. Makes me physically sick every time i think about it.

O-Hole’s new LGBT battalions

I hate to be branded a "racist," but I'm going to say this out of respect to the truth:

You all know damn well that this won't be a matter of us fighting against a few PC fag officers in the Army/Navy or some boot-wearing lesbians in APCs.

This fight will be white vs. black. You have the overwhelming majority of blacks voting for Obama because he's black. Obama's and Holder's legions will take their marching orders from their Fuhrer because he's their sugar daddy. He's promising THEM riches and redistribution. White people aren't any part of his plan, you can bet on that, and the people knocking on your doors won't be LEOs serving search warrants. They will be heavily-armed ghetto thugs, trained on the streets in the art of gang-banging, utilizing government-provided weapons to "kill whitey."

This exonerates governments from being involved. They can just chalk it up to "gang violence," and they get guns out of the hands of the "bitter clingers."

The one very short-sighted issue with this: blacks are still a population minority. At some point white people will realize they are targets and will cease tolerating racist home invasions.

Make no mistake, Obama and Holder are fomenting a race war in this country.

When will the American men get tired of being pushed around by this wretched homosexual pansy? I guess the answer is that there aren’t many “men” left in America. The rest of them are too busy with their mani-pedis, applying lotions, sipping fat-free lattes, etc.

TO ALL, FYI;
Please use the correct terms;
1. The revolutionary war is correctly termed;
2. The forces of the O-Hole are counter- revolutionary;
3. A reactionary is an individual that holds political viewpoints which cause them to seek to return to a previous state; a restoration of the founders intent.
4. CWII is incorrect;
5. The coming troubles … god forbid … should be called “The War of Restoration”
End information bulletin; alphadog is done barking.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll taken last week, Obama trails Romney among white men with college degrees by 13 points, 55 to 42 percent. This is comparable to ’08, when Obama also secured 42 percent of the college-educated white male vote. But with non-college-educated white men, Obama runs 29 points behind Romney in the ABC/WaPo survey, 61 to 32 percent. Pew also has him at 32 percent with these voters – 7 points worse than he fared with them in ’08. This is the source of the male portion of the gender gap.

I was working as an independent contractor for an Israeli company when the Libyan civil war broke out. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Yes... like the 97% of Americans that bowed down to king george and refused to stand up against tyranny. Washington didn't need them and neither do we.

This whole game only works so long as everyone plays by the rules.
When Rule 308 gets invoked, having 8 orders of magnitude more opponents is not a winning position.

“The only American example we have of what happens when the federal government declares war on its citizens is the Civil War when the army broke in two and we had a war.”

Have you forgotten WACO? After all, it was for the children!

Actually, 1/3 of Americans fought the King, Another 1/3 supported the King, and 1/3 simply did not care which way the war turned out!
