The Thought Police. Reality or Hyperbole?

I think I’ve finally figured out what “change” Obama and the Democratic Party has been talking about for the last year. Softening up America for the “great takeover”.
They are slowly turning our financial sovereignty over to foreign control. Letting our enemies free to kill Americans once again. Throwing those who kept us safe for the last eight years under the bus. Nationalizing healthcare, banking and the auto industry. Taking us to fascism with the merger of state and corporation; AIG, Freddie & Fannie, Citi and now – turning 40% of Chrysler over to the UAW. All for the glory of the chimerical left-wing ideologues. Chumming with Hugo, Fidel and Ahmadinejad in the hopes the world will like us more. What’s next? Dinner with Kim?
But wait, that’s not all folks. We now have on the horizon the “thought police”. That’s right, the thought police. The new hate crimes bill being considered this week in the House. A bill that would give the federal government additional authority to persecute, oh sorry, prosecute “bias-motivated violence” beyond what the current law allows. If law enforcement, the court, or those “pay for expert testimony” whackos “think” someone has committed a crime against a known homosexual, they could fall prey to a more draconian version of the law. Not that I’m against the prosecution of violent crime, it’s the idea that someone can determine what one is thinking. Can anyone tell me what I’m thinking?
Is this an attempt to limit conservatives from free speech? Maybe. Conservatives, especially religious advocates, purport this as a gag rule for those who do not support homosexually. In regards to such instances as what happened between gay rights activists and Evangelic Christians during the Prop 8 campaigns in California.
Republican Minority Leader, John Boehner, said it best. “The liberal bills being pushed by President Obama and congressional Democrats make me want to throw up.” Amen brother!

Ah…the never ending machinations of the rabble-rousers. They are forever waiting in the wings, ready to take our freedoms away from us. But wait…they also specialize in brain-washing. They have gotten very good at it through the years. That’s why I rejoiced when I heard that the Boston Globe was in extremis; just another communist rag spreading its propaganda which must now face draconian cuts or go out of business (wow! economic reality is in full force in Boston?). Who’d a thunk it? Even those editors with “lifetime” contracts are having them taken away. Everything is on the table for them now. Even brainwashing.

As a resident in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, I’ve suffered under years of liberal one-party rule that have made a beautiful state that is rich in history into an increasingly over-expensive and oppressive place to live. Bravo to Silence Dogood as I too am rejoicing in the apparent demise of the Boston-based Kremlin.
Hate crimes is a great liberal flip-flopper. One of their basic tenets is supposed to be all this fairness and love for all mankind, which is why they constantly accuse conservatives of being Nazis and hate mongers. You have Sean Penn using the Academy Awards to shame folks who don’t share his views on gay marriage, and describing how great it is that “an elegant man” can finally be President of the US. Never mind that the man in question isn’t qualified to run even what would be considered a small American company, but I digress.
We’re not supposed to hate, but watch out if you cross them. Al Franken decides he doesn’t like Rush Limbaugh, mainly because the fact that most of the time Rush is making valid points. How does Franken respond? He writes a tome entitled, “Russ Limbaugh is a Big, Fat, Idiot.” Nothing hateful in that at all. Yet, the liberals are up in arms over Ann Coulter being equally or more abrasive in launching attacks for our side. So, it’s ok to be a leftist who is hateful towards his or her political enemies, but not vice-versa.
Look at what they did to Sarah Palin. By all accounts, you’d think liberals and feminists would applaud a strong willed, self-made and successful woman like Palin is. Yet, Gloria Steinem and the harpies on The View could not castigate her enough. The leftist media made unprecedented intrusions into the lives of her family members in an all out effort to discredit her in any way possible, and why? Because she was too good, and was a threat to them. Palin’s not the type to subscribe to the silly “everyone’s a victim” mantra of liberal politics, therefore, she had to be destroyed. Representing good old fashioned hard-work and American values is verbotten!
Yes, we are in the grip of a socialist revolution. We can only hope that folks will start to wake up in time to send a message during the mid-term elections, and that by 2012, The Telepromter of the United States will have proven to be the ineffective snake oil salesman people should have recognized him as from day one.

Yes, joker, you are right. It’s quite a sight to behold, this socialist revolution. “The 100 Days That Shook The World!” We are going to be sorely tested. But this will all be glossed over by the remaining institutions which pass for “news media” in this troubled land. We live in the Matrix now. None of it is real, except when it is. But we won’t know when it is until it’s too late. That’s why we cannot survive without FREE MARKETS. Free Markets determine what will go and what will be, economically, in a free society, not some stupid apparatchik! As Burke put it, “Those who have been once intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, can never willingly abandon it.”
