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.

there are two types of libtards: those who have no ideas and those who have wrong ideas.
Actually, I wouldn’t mind someone undermining the present party in control of the government—and undermining the government in general. We need to get back to our roots! We were founded as a Representative Republic.
I think the TEA Party would be just the ones to do it.
Maybe we need a second American Revolution to fix all that’s wrong with us.

One of two things is happening here ( maybe both simultaneously):
1) Liberalism/Marxism is a mental disease and Reich is using “projection”.
2) Reich is a master of Alinsky techniques.
I don't know why people are complaining about what Reich said. He is absolutely correct. This is why the DHS, Patriot Act, NDAA, Fusion Centers, 2 billion bullets, FEMA, federalization and militarization of local police was put into to place. The Globalist Banksters knew that the closer they got to outright World Government that American patriots would resist so they created the means to put down a domestic resistance. The former American government is fully in the hands of the Banksters and the Tea Party is in a conspiracy against it.
"We, the People" have stood by for decades while generations of those so-called "liberals" (now self-describing themselves to be "progressives") have redefined, renamed, and put in place false ideas about America's form of government and who is in charge.
Reich, the Clintons, Obama, and the rest rely on widespread constitutional illiteracy when they make bold statements like those emanating from them in recent times.
IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, and we can lose our freedom and our happiness if we act on belief in wrong ideas.
This is true in every area of our lives. If we take some action because someone else told us something, and we believed them, and they were wrong, then we may have to live with some pain or hurt because we didn't check it out before we acted.
This is especially true about what we know or think we know about our freedom and our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
An example: some years ago, an organization at a major private university published a lesson plan for teachers to use in teaching students about the Constitution. A lead sentence read: "The Constitution is the power and authority of the central government over the people and the states."
Let me repeat. The lesson plan read: "The Constitution is the power and authority of the central government over the people and the states."
Now, if youth have been taught to believe that, and if enough Americans really believe that, then we will see government as this gigantic POWER and source of AUTHORITY for our lives. We will tend to look to government to solve all our problems. We will let government regulate and interfere with all the important decisions of our lives, and we will think that government can spend our money more wisely than we can, can take care of us better than we can take care of ourselves, and we may begin to rely on Washington and State capitals for looking after us from the cradle to the grave. And every time we rely on government to do something for us, government tends to get bigger and bigger and more and more powerful because we are giving it more and more power over our lives.
This is the idea Reich has bought into, and this is why he mischaracterizes the Tea Party movement's goals.
Reich fails to acknowledge that the Constitution is the "People's" document to limit the coercive powers of those they elect to government: the Constitution is not the elected representatives in government's document to limit the rights of "the People."
As a result of his wrong-headed understanding about the distinguishing idea of the U. S. Constitution and who are its KEEPERS*, he makes ill-advised accusations.
*" If these Commentaries shall but inspire in the rising generation a more ardent love of their country, an unquenchable thirst for liberty, and a profound reverence for the constitution and the Union, then they will have accomplished all, that their author ought to desire. Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of fife, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beautiful, as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them." - Justice Joseph Story - Concluding para., "Commentaries on the Constitution . . . ."
Why is he sitting there when the others are standing.
Nah. He's just a thimble sized wanna be. He's just another wacko liberal having a temper tantrum becaue the TEA party is a threat to his vision of a communist utopia.
The liberals house of cards is crumbling. They've run out of other peoples money to buy votes with. If they can't come up with a new social program or some kind of tax payer paid free handout in time for the election , the freeloaders won't bother to get out of bed to vote. Without some kind of free stuff every time, the democrats can't win.
As The Gaffer would say ... “Stand up Bobby boy, we wanna see ya”.
Our nation's schools are the very definition of a godless, socialist, single-payer, and compulsory-use welfare entitlement program.
So?....Question: Does any conservative **seriously** believe that any socialist, godless, single-payer, and compulsory-use program will teach children the principles of the **CONSTITUTION***????? Really? Are they that naive?
All it took to give the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, the 17th Amendment, feminism, unions, the federal reserve, usurpation of large tracts of state land for federal parks, the failed One World League of Nations...etc...was??????
Answer: One to three generations of citizens schooled to be comfortable with socialism in their socialist-funded, single-payer, and compulsory-use government schools.
If we wish to take back the Constitution we must abolish the K-12 socialist-funded, single-payer, compulsory-use, and GODLESS schools.
If children are schooled in socialist-funded, single-payer, compulsory, and GODLESS schools we will raise up voters who are more than happy to be prisoners of the state.
“Reich....wrote that the Tea Party had “infiltrated” the government at every level...”
Isn’t this called projection? He’s saying that Tea Party has “infiltrated” the government when in reality, it is the communists and muslims who have infiltrated the government at every level.
Too late. The Democrats and their Liberal supporters are on their way to do just that.
How apropos for Reich, of all the leftist lowlifes, to start spewing his bile again, when he and his fellow travelers' failures can neither be ignored, or go on for much longer.
How revealing that this is the third Reich (reference intended!) pontifiction I’ve heard this week.
No, DUMB ASS, we’re attempting to prevent it from becoming any more like NAZI GERMANY. As a Jew, you SHOULD appreciate that.
Then again, Soros — a fellow Jew — helped round up other Jews in Hungary for shipment to Hitler’s BBQs.
For someone who lives in an Earth-bermed home with a round door, and blows smoke rings that float all the way to other end of Bagshot Row, he shouldn’t point fingers about undermining anything.
Thanks Nachum.
Oh God more alinsky shiite from another asshole. They are the ones that have infiltrated. One day we will play the walking dead, and remember libs, the dead don’t use guns either.

It's what the left does. If you ever want to know what the liberal left is really up to, just listen to the charges they make against the Republican right.
Is a conspiracy to undermine the government a bad thing, when the government is actively undermining “The Constitution?”
I say support “The Constitution,” by any means possible.
