A family member sent me this Washington Times article the other day. While a quick and concise read, Puden misses the ball on two important points. Puden’s words in italics:
- Mr. Obama and his White House can’t seem to get their brains around the fact that the election of ‘08 is over, and he won.
Puden is in line with Rush Limbaugh who months ago predicted that Emperor Giggles’ campaign for President would never be over. Giggles has been on a constant media blitz since taking office to force his thug political ideology down our throats, appearing calm, cool and collected to lull the imbeciliatory American electorate to sleep through monetary means.
But Emperor Giggles isn’t just in 24/7 campaign mode. As Joe the Plumber so easily flushed the words out of then-candidate Giggles, the ultimate aim of the Emperor is to distribute wealth through transforming our current understanding of ‘America’, a socio-economic system of relative freedom from government regulation and interference in the private sector to one of Socialist/Marxist slavery to government. Ergo what Puden doesn’t seem to understand is that Giggles is not simply another politician transformed by the dark side of the Chicago political machine. Rather, Giggles is to America what Mao was to China, Castro was to Cuba, Kim Jong Il was to Korea…need I go on?
The whispers and sound bytes from Giggles’ own mouth continue to show the nudity of his dangerous, racist, Marxist ideology. If Giggles’ was just another corrupt politician, then we need not be as alarmed as the Conservative Right says we should be. Corruption can be countered much more easily than a man who infiltrates the political system with an ideology so foreign and so anti-American. Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Bill Clinton, former NY Governor Elliot Spitzer, to name a few. And such is precisely what Giggles’ holds, a belief system which we can daily observe driving him to behave in ways more positive towards Muslim regimes and oppressive dictatorships than towards the country which gave him the freedom to believe and act as he so freely chooses.
- Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and Fox News are big enough to take care of themselves, but the implications of what the Obamanauts are trying to do are scary, indeed.
The best thing Limbaugh does is he is the most readily known epitome of the freedoms the Constitution guarantees. But here Limbaugh’s attributes end and his fault begins. He continues to sit on his now-thin laurels, smoking cigars and collecting a $400 million contract check as he rages against the sins of Washington. While he is right many times in what he says, he is unwilling to lead any kind of charge against government encroachment into the private sector. Of course he will admit why he chooses not to do so and his excuse seems plausible – it wouldn’t be a bonefide, grass-roots movement if he was responsible for calling people to action. That is smoke and mirrors. He is simply lazy. Imagine George Washington supporting the theory of Revolution but not leading the Continental Army for the same reason. Or James Madison refusing to write the Constitution. Or…need I go on?
The point is while Rush and his ilk are collecting paychecks from Conservatives who enjoy hearing smooth, Conservative talk, the government keeps itself busy, continuing to take away freedoms in small chunks, the very freedoms guaranteed us in the Bill of Rights; Did Martin Niemoller write his poem for us?
I could be labeled as a fear monger. That my words are overreaching and things aren’t as bad as they seem. Remember, though, the tides of tyranny begin gently. They come on soft waves, hidden within the need to ‘protect freedoms’ and ‘ensure one faction doesn’t trample on the toes of another faction’. Soon enough, tyrants emerge because there are so many factions arguing amongst each other that they are unable to see corrupting power advancing.
Limbaugh, Hannity and others like to say Conservative talk radio is the only arena where the media is still free, that the liberal left has the universities, newspapers, etc. When, pray tell, is a Conservative going to stand up and begin to lead the fight against government’s abuse of its power? When will that faction begin marching on Washington? Suing Washington for its infringement on the Constitution? For overstepping on the lives of individuals? For creating and perpetuating every domestic and foreign mess?
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
