I don’t know to what extent a lot of average folks are paying attention to the Tucson shooting side-show—that effort by liberal pundits, activists and politicians to cast conservatives and Tea Party types as indirectly responsible for the horrific murder of six people (including a federal judge and a nine-year old girl) as well as the terrible wounding of a Democrat congresswoman and 13 others.
Yes, of course, a single madman was responsible, but you’d never know that if “Progressives” had their way.
Basically, this is their game plan: Having lost the public debate about the direction the country should take (as evidenced by the utter repudiation of loser-centric liberal policies in the recent elections) the Loony Left desperately wants to avoid a similar outcome in 2012 by making sure only one side has a voice going forward — theirs. Baselessly claiming that conservative talk radio, Fox News and Tea Party activism is to blame for causing a crazy man to do something violently crazy is the Left’s grotesquely exploitative plan.
Think I’m wrong or perhaps overstating the situation? Look at this way: The objection the Left raises is to people rebelling against status-quo, liberal policies like ObamaCare. It’s obvious that quelling dissent helps keep the disastrous legislation (and executive orders) of the past two years in place. Make no mistake; while they’ll swear they simply want to keep discourse civil, they really just want anyone who disagrees with Lord Obama to keep their mouths shut. You know the drill: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
I pray that conservatives and libertarians won’t be cowed by this rank intimidation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Barack Obama is an arrogant, pseudo-intellectual, empty suit pursuing idiotic polices in service to a hopelessly foolish political philosophy. He, his minions, allies and supporting self-interested interest groups must be opposed with all the vigor and to the fullest extent that the law allows. I sincerely feel to do anything less would be a disservice to my conscience and my country.
Lock and load! (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)
