Reich: Tea Party 'Conspiracy to Undermine the Government of the United States'
Breitbart ^ | 3/3/13 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 03/03/2013 8:23:55 AM PST by Nachum

Democrats and the media have accuses Tea Party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of "McCarthyism" merely for posing tough questions to and about Chuck Hagel during the latter's confirmation as Secretary of Defense. Yet a recent column by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich reveals who the real McCarthyites are in U.S. politics today, as Reich likens the Tea Party to a conspiracy "to undermine the government of the United States."

Reich, who has steadfastly supported President Barack Obama's big-government, tax-and-spend agenda, wrote that the Tea Party had "infiltrated" the government at every level, and had used the budget cuts in the sequester to begin "dismantling pieces of it." He outlined the rest of his conspiracy theory at the left-wing Salon.com:

Imagine a plot to undermine the government of the United States, to destroy much of its capacity to do the public’s business, and to sow distrust among the population.

Imagine further that the plotters infiltrate Congress and state governments, reshape their districts to give them disproportionate influence in Washington, and use the media to spread big lies about the government.

We ARE trying to destroy this “government”. It isn’t the one outlined in the Constitution and NEEDS to be done away with.

FDR almost succeeded except that the pesky war employed people again and of course that would-be dictator died before he could sell off post-war Europe and Japan to Stalin. The government isn’t in rebellion, it is assuming the dictatorial powers of a king. The 1776 moment is coming close.

FUBO & FAD

One man’s treason, is another man’s revolution. If only the people currently in power didn’t abandon their Constitutional obligations in their quest for power, they wouldn’t have to worry about a peasent backlash, or a TEA party uprising. Washington DC is a small piece of real estate in a vast country. If I was them, I would be worried. The very fact that they keep hammering away at the TEA party and Conservatives means that we are a viable threat to their system of corruption.

Reich is employing Alinski’s Rules for Radicals

RULE 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

The government has been in rebellion against the people since FDR.

Yep. From that point on, the American people have been used as slaves, and the government has claimed authority over the spoils.

That only works if the target really gives a shit what their enemy thinks of them. If you’re thinking of a verbal rebuke, you have already lost. Us, vs. them, who do you want to win?

The only thing being undermined is the constitution, and the entity that is undermining it IS the government.

This reich loser must live in opposite world. reich and his commie friends have undermined the USA with their communistic, marxist, tyrannical programs and regulations. Justice needs to find him and his kind of corrosive, corrupt subhuman degenerate.

Hmmm.

Obama signs law to imprison American citizens with no test of law.

Obama chooses military commanders who will order gunfire attacks on American civilian citizens. (Are there any Americans on the Nobel Peace Prize committee?)

Obama unleashes $16-trillion debt on the American people.

Obama doesn't pledge allegiance to the American flag.

Obama supports homosexual marriage.

Obama displays intense, unmitigated sociopathic behavioral symptoms that includes lying, shallow emotions, callousness, will not accept blame but blames others, a poor work ethic, as well as other symptoms.

And Reich is okay with all of that?

The dwarf used most of the right words: I do want to undermine the government that is destroying my country. These asshole leftists never seem to understand that “government” and “country” are two different things.
