Dem Congressman Warns Of "Mob Scenes" Without "Equity In Society"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 6 Feb 2013 | Staff

-snip-

McDERMOTT: This whole society is gradually changing in response to what’s going on. Now, we’re in a very difficult period right now, because we have a lot of people who suddenly think it’s all about me. And it isn’t about me; it’s about we. If we don’t take care of one another, and we say everybody’s on their own, then it will simply fall apart as a society: become a mob scene, as it was in Paris if you go see Les Misérables. You can see what the country can become, if you don’t have equity in the society. I don’t want that. I want people to be able to have a peaceful life. And I think our system will work.

They want it ALL with NO effort.

I took his words as a veiled threat. Go along or face the mobs.

I’ve heard this “reasoning” from leftists before -
if we don’t pay off the underclass, they’ll turn to violence.

My response, of course, was that if the consequences for turning to violence instead of work are severe enough, they’ll choose work.

So does this mean that, unless my taxes are lowered to the point that I can afford to buy the better food and drive the better cars which I see those with Food Stamps buying, then I would be justified in being part of McDermott’s mobs?

I’m not alone in this on FR, I know -

I believe that the current people in power would turn the full force of the police state on those who would defend their lives and property from these mobs.

God gave the natural duty to pursue happiness and the natural right to pursue happiness to each individual. They do not apply to a society as a whole.

Hey Congressman, are you giving away everything you GROSS above the median income? You want equity? Show us how its done!

Otherwise, take your veiled threats and shove them. Or better yet, rile up your mob and send them out into the red state areas to take some “equity” from the bitter clingers.

Our National Socialist Democrat Party is moving along at top speed to make tax slaves out of those who still work. They have always been the party of slavery and oppression and are striving to bring back that institution under new socialist terms.

FUBO & FAD

I hope you’re not under any illusion that WE (conservatives) WON’T be blamed when the economy crashes.

Unless the "mob" includes squirrels, I don't think I'll see too many of them in my red county. (And mobs of squirrels already loot my bird feeders!)

As for the rest -- I've been predicting that things will get ugly under the blue towers when the EBT cards stop working, or a Big Mac costs $300.

McDermott is no different than the leadership in communist countries, he believes the working class should be equal but that doesn’t include the elites like himself and his cronies.

and let’s not forget that Les miserables led straight to the reign of Terror followed by the ever lovable Napoleon

McDermott is an idiot just like the rest of the democrats and socialists. The equity they want is in results, not opportunity. There is already equity in opportunity, it is just that a lot of people don’t want to do the work to get the results.
