The Republican party is destroying itself. That’s the message you’ll see repeated in media outlet after media outlet. That is the liberal talking point that has been spread throughout 2008 and 2009 by the press over and over again. It’s the one they’re still repeating now, even as the Tea Party movement has gone from a populist movement that the media ignored and then smeared when they couldn’t ignore it anymore, to a national force in politics. It’s the mantra that they’re still chanting even as so many Democratic congressmen are departing that it almost feels like a coup. ... As Obama’s ratings keep sinking faster than a wet Koran in a toilet and the Democratic congress finds itself chained to a wildly unpopular health care plan that would force everyone to buy insurance from their health insurance industry backers—the old record keeps spinning. The Republican party is destroying itself.
But that is the price you pay for living in an echo chamber. The echoes may sound pretty, but only to someone who is deeply in love with the sound of his own voice.

Congress and Senate run by old relic white libs, way past their due dates trying to legislate over an America long since past. Obama is at least a semi-honest MauMauer compared to the fossils of our Soviet who cannot leave 1974.
The dems are in a pickle. They are going to get wiped out next november no matter what they do. Even if they drop Obamacare now they will still be dumped for having pushed it this far. What might save them is to turn against Obama en masse, denounce his socialism, denounce their own socialism, affirm captialism and American strength and heritage, lower taxes, stop the bailouts, dump Pelosi as speaker and Reid as majority leader, and beg for forgiveness from the american people for behaving as they have.
Make sure they have enough rope!
“So when every level of government and media in the USSR repeated that last year’s harvest was 96 percent successful, no one could logically reconcile that with the fact that there was no actual bread anywhere to be found. Forced to choose between believing in the propaganda of a successful harvest or the reality that there was no bread—they went on believing in the propaganda, because lies had become their reality.”
If this doesn’t sum up “the stimulus worked... economy has turned around... job losses are reversing...green shoots...” I don’t know what does. I am terrified that not only do we have a man who has held communist ties from birth practically, to every facet of his professional life-even joining the Socialist Party for a while before switching to Democrat- and now employing Soviet tactics with the FULL backing and compliance by our supposed watchdog media.
I long for the 80’s. As a child (first grade in 1979) I was aware of the gas rations, the inflation, my parents didn’t make me worry but explained how we had to be careful with money and so on. I really remember watching my dad cyphon gas with a garden hose from one car to another when the one broke down and had perfectly good gas in it, LOL! But I do distinctly remember being aware from about 1984 onward how proud I was of America. How safe and secure I felt and that feeling holds a picture in my mind of Ronald Reagan. I didn’t know anything about politics, I just know I felt confidant that Russia wouldn’t be a problem. I felt hope, and intense hope. And I know I FELT good when I saw President Reagan’s smile. That fact was brought back to my mind when my oldest daughter randomly commented in the election when seeing Obama splashed across the news, how Obama’s smile made her stomach hurt. It spoke volumes to me also and that she-a child/teen- could pick up on what half the country could not. How did she see the deception and millions more see not just the reversal, but a reversal to an extreme? Placing him as a savior!?!
I think the Democrats have it backward, JFK was one who didn’t. Modern Democrats create a crisis to bend us to their will. JFK and old school Republicans (excluding Nixon) understood that you could get more accomplished by NOT having the nation in a panic. If you make people feel safe, content and secure, they will be content to go about their lives and let you deal with governing. Speaking strictly as a political tactic, mind you. I hope they continue to screw up getting their stupid agenda through.
I also think they learned the wrong lesson from Bush and 09/11. They saw Bush pushing through an “agenda” (Patriot Act) as taking advantage of a crisis. They didn’t realize that Bush made America feel SAFE! Even after the worst attack on American soil in HISTORY, he made them feel ok. Yes, he got things passed that would be controversial, but not because we were coerced from fear. No, the opposite! We, the people, said “Do what you need to do.” He gave us a sense of trust. While those who were pissed that he was President and not Gore, they would never be happy. Or never trust Bush. The average American did. Even my liberal friends, soon after 09/11 commented that George Bush made them feel like their dad when someone was scaring them. Just that safe feeling. Sorry I’m rambling, just been thinking a lot lately of the mood of the country. Probably wasted this post for a total of three people to read it, LOL! Hope you three understand the point I am trying to make here.
Anyway, I am sad we have reached this point in our history, that we have to fight communism from the highest point of authority. Is the nation truly split 50/50? One side determined to become socialist, even accepting of communist? The other not? If so, maybe we SHOULD just split the nation in two. I would hate to think of a civil war, but I will fight to keep America free and away from the communist hands.
Rhett Butler to Scarlett O’Hara (when she sneered at the straggling remnants of the Confederate Army): “Don’t be in such a hurry to see them go, my dear; With them goes the last semblance of law and order. Scavengers aren’t wasting any time.”
Progressive, totalitarian vultures are circling the Capitol, waiting to feast on carrion. They smell blood and see a weakened, wounded animal.
And the hyenas laugh.
Very right. Pelosi and Reid are about the worst choices I can think of as leaders. They are not only dumb (and good GOD they are dumb), they are corrupt beyond belief.
Even as the Dems were opposing in idealogues with Reagan, Tip O’Neil wasn’t an idiot! We felt like we were being governed by wrong holding opinions of Americans. Now it’s just jackasses and morons.
Canadian Free Press is some of the best writing on the Internet period. American Thinker, UK Telegraph and UK Daily Mail are right there plus Investors Business Daily (IBD).
The problem is Obama is destroying America faster than the Dem Party is imploding.
“As Obama’s ratings keep sinking faster than a wet Koran in a toilet and the Democratic congress finds itself chained to a wildly unpopular health care plan..”
LOL! Daniel Greenfield can turn a phrase there and he “ain’t” politically correct too. Wet Koran in a toilet! LOL! Go Daniel!
By the way, thanks for posting this. This article is one of the best I have ever read and sums up what is going on perfectly. We are sitting back and thinking “Why are they continuing this madness when the country doesn’t want it???” and the article explains how they don’t see thier ideas as flawed, only people who don’t agree with them.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. I thought that was an extreme statement at first, but I don’t any longer.
What I believe is happening is similar to a Klingon Bird of Prey decloaking off of our starboard bow.
They've been the Marxist/Stalinist party for a long time, it's just, that now, they feel powerful enough to show us their real colors.
The problem is Obama is destroying America faster than the Dem Party is imploding.

I agree, very good article. Thank you for this line. There has been a niggling thought that wasn’t quite formulating into a real sentence. Health care, czars, administrative power grabs, how much freedom can or will be restored by the time that he is gone?

Go to YouTube and search for Reagan’s Morning in America video. It will bring tears to the eyes.
I remember interest rates skyrocketing during Carter then Reagan telling Volcker to slam on the brakes.
Starving the Monkeys. Baugh's epilog won't make anyone comfortable. But he's right.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~~ President Ronald Reagan

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/
By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
