Schumer's Plan to Abolish the Tea Party (lengthy but brilliant article!)
americanthinker.com ^ | 1/24/14 | Matthew Vadum

The Democrats' new much-vaunted master plan for annihilating the Tea Party movement calls for aggressive class warfare, demagoguery, and lying about the beliefs, motives, and goals of Tea Party supporters, Sen. Chuck Schumer revealed yesterday.

Echoing President Obama's infamous "bitter clingers" remarks, the New York Democrat argued that Tea Party supporters are cartoonish figures who are easily ridiculed.

Invoking all the usual liberal cliches about conservatives, Schumer said the Tea Party is successor to "the Know-Nothings, Prohibitionists, Father Coughlin, and Huey Long." In other words, he believes the movement is a collection of hicks, yahoos, neo-Luddites, fascists, male chauvinists, and racists fearful of what leftist academics might call The Other.

"Tea Party adherents see an America that's not reflective of themselves, and the America they have known, and they just don't like it." They are bothered by changes in the "cultural, technological, and demographic makeup" of the nation. It angers them that "white Anglo-Saxon men are exclusively not running the country anymore."

Schumer said his fellow Democrats in the U.S. Senate plan to subject the public to a massive, presumably very boring post-constitutional civics lesson from now until the congressional elections in November.

Democrats "must stop playing defense and go on offense when it comes to the need for government," Schumer said as public support for ObamaCare hit a new record low. "We must state loudly and repeatedly we believe government is often a necessary force for good."

We need to fight and destroy the left wing media. They shape the thinking of the sheeple and low information voters. Not sure how to do it though...

those Washington politicians and bureaucrats who created all this government to benefit themselves are to blame for all of your ills and anxieties."

Wow! Truth from Chuck-you Schumer - didn't think he could find it even by accident.

Once passed, the Sixteenth Amendment turned our republican form of government into a criminal enterprise.

Of course it soon became populated by the most wily of criminals.

The common man realizes that he/she is now a slave to a criminal class (thieves, moochers, perverts) and resents it bitterly.

Death to the vermin that rule us!

RE :”Well I’m not siding with Christie (though I strongly defend him)
I’ll fight him up one side and down the other.
But right now, we need to strongly defend him from what is clearly a very, very partisan WH and media.”

Morning Joe made an insightful comment on this one morning.

He recalled how up to 2008 the MSM and Dems built up John McCain into the great reasonable bipartisan Republican hopeful until he got the nomination, soon after that happened they turned against him to bring him down as a Doctor Jeckle turned Mr Hyde mean extremist..

In the case of Christie they are going after him 2+ years early with this witch hunt.

As I said, these are all Obama smoke screens to divert from all his scandals.

That's kind of like the frustration over US jobs going overseas and not coming back, we would love to just stop it but no-one ever figures out a way how to do it, without breaking something else.

I really fail to see why we should expend so much capital on Christy. He’s reaping what he sewed.. personally I don’t believe he did not know about what happened. He’s a loud mouth bully perfectly capable of dirty tricks. Just say the we expend all that effort and the dems come up with the smoking gun(which I personally believe they already have) what’s the next step? Christy will throw the conservative movement under the bus at the first opportunity....let him get his self out of this fix!!

Father Coughlin

Schumer is a despicable and stupid man. Father Coughlin was a LEFTY. He attacked Roosevelt for not moving to socialism faster than he did.

Schumer "Government is often a necessary force for good" ....Mr. Schumer the issued is what "good" you define as "necessary" and what level of "force" you say is required...

And the leftist assumption, even among those who don’t consider themselves to be elite,

is that those who wield such power are morally and intellectually capable of doing so with fully benign intent.

"We must state loudly and repeatedly we believe government is often a necessary force for good."

Judging from the latest polling they're doing a really crappy job of convincing anyone of that.

Even amongst those wanting government to do more, the opinions of them range from at best being incompetent, to at worst malevolent.

Quite a number of conservatives, and conservative groups are being targeted by a politicized IRS, Justice Dept., and EPA recently.

The 0bama regime makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

I wonder when critical mass will be reached?
