The Left's Authoritarian Impulse Gets Exposed

It would be hard to measure how many times conservatives have been described as authoritarian. They want to control our lives! Impose their religious beliefs! Etc.

Many of us have been aware of that for quite some time.

We're now in the endgame of Antonio Gramsci's and Saul Alinsky's heirs and disciples. These are the murderous great-great-great-great-grandchildren of the French Revolution, cold-eyed with contempt for you and yours; spiral-eyed crazy with hate for what you believe in and possessed of that utterly unappeasable appetite for controlling mankind.

A most excellent speech - and gratifying to see that I have been saying some of the same things all these years.

I would love to know how the speech was received?

Usually mine get shouted down by other Freepers...

I don’t believe he ever had an opportunity to actually deliver it.

Dang, the response SHOULD have been spectacular - in a perfect world.

But this is the Obamanation, the post-Constitution America he warned about.

Gave that one in 2009 at a Tea Party rally in Coeur d’Alene. Most folks seemed to like it. It went over some folks heads. Generally got applause and exclamations of approval.

Mind you, I never was able to get up on the main stage at the rally. I wound up doing this as a sideshow, soapbox in the park style. Still, I gave away every copy that I had printed up.
