Is America Starting To Target Thought Crime?

Last week, Michelle Obama made headlines when she exhorted graduating high schoolers in a commencement address to monitor their families for politically incorrect thoughts and behaviors.

To one journalist, this was more than an off-hand comment made by the first lady. In the opinion of Cheryl Chumley, a reporter for The Washington Times and the author of “Police State USA,” Michelle Obama’s remark reflects a growing trend in America to target and attack individuals for committing “thought crime.”

“A few years ago I started saying there is no real difference between the democrats and republicans.”

I noticed that as well. The US is ruled by a republicrat oligarchy. The party has two faces that regurgitate talking points to their respective constituents, thereby fooling the sheeple into believing they are actually represented in the federal government. Presidential elections have become as fake as “professional” wrestling.

One more election is not going to fix this country after decades of sliding into socialism.

TEA is helping to correct the problems, and the process must not relent.

Yes, but I think their biggest hope is to be a viable third party. It might take more than a few election cycles.

But I say all that with the firm belief that our country will not survive Obama.

What next? Gulags?

Nah! Comrade 0bama will just start "droning" his enemies.

“What comes to mind when I think of the genesis for this growing trend of government to control Americans’ speech, and by extension, thoughts, is when the notion of hate crime was brought into our criminal prosecution system — as if acts of violence that are committed because of racial divides deserve a different category of ‘extra-special bad,’”

DOUBLE PLUS UNGOOD.

If I was a parent in attendence I would have stood up and yelled at my kid “Send Michelle your tuition bill! And while you’re at it, get her to find you a place to live because you won’t be staying at my house anymore!”

starting to?

How many years ago that Rush wasn’t allowed to buy a small stake in an NFL team?

and it started long before that in the MSM and college campuses too

[GeronL]

exactly

Like all these governors who refuse to fight the imperial courts forcing gay marriage and other things courts have no constitutional power to dictate.

On a related note there are at least two dumb-a$$ Freepers who think that there should be no anonymity for web comments or postings. With the current trend towards thought crime punishment they are either stupid or duplicitous trolls.

In 1992 my 10 year old son came home from school and was looking under the kitchen sink at my recycling bags. I said what are you doing? He replied, my teacher wants to know if you recycle?

What, your teacher wants to know, wait, in mid sentence I put all the different bags of recyclables and dumped all into the main garbage, right in front of him and told him to report back to his teacher that no my mother does not recycle anymore, what are you going to do about it?

I have never recycled since, only the soda cans that give the 5 cents back. And then I moved to a different state different public school that offered the NRA's Hunter Safety Course taught by Dad's on the school grounds. Imagine that today!

You really must watch the movie “The Lives of Others”. National Review named it the best conservative film of a generation. I tend to agree.

[Political Junkie Too]

You’ll NEVER get rid of these Obama’s.

Here is how it will play out.

Obama will be term-limited out of the White House in 2016, but he has already hinted that he will "stay in Washington DC" after his presidency is over.

What he will do is "organize" his civilian force that will have been weaponized by the time he leaves office.

Obama will arise as a leader in exile with his own loyal military, and he will challenge the incoming President with the threat of real force at some point early in the next administration.

What remains to be seen will be if he is satisfied with the rank of "Colonel," or if he goes all in as a "Generalissimo."
