All over the news it is being reported today that Democrats are receiving death threats. Of course, we just have to take their word for it as no evidence has been brought forward to substantiate this.

So, until there is real tangible evidence that can be verified, I don’t believe the Democrats. What I believe is that this is one more opportunity to manipulate the American people. By claiming that they are getting death threats the Democrats accomplish two political goals. First, they accomplish demonizing the opposition. Complaining about death threats subtly implies that all the opposition is deranged. Second, they accomplish making people feel sorry for them. “Oh, those poor poor people, is it just terrible Gert that they are having to live with death threats.

But let’s just concede, for the sake of pretend, that the Democrats really are getting death threats. What do they expect when they pass legislation that is a death threat of every living American? If Democrats are trying to kill the American people through legislation they shouldn’t act all surprised, shocked or grieved if people decide to return the favor by threatening their very lives.

Democrats complaining about death threats is like an assassin complaining about getting death threats. Given the occupation of the assassin who really takes his complaints seriously? Don’t want death threats? Then quit killing people.

On September 23, 1779, American Naval Captain, John Paul Jones fought one of the bloodiest engagements in American naval history. Jones struggled against the 44-gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis. As the battle raged and as Jones own Flagship was burning and sinking there came to Jones a demand from the Captain of the English Serapis to surrender. Jones, reading the demand replied and said “no” by uttering the now immortal words, “I have not yet begun to fight.”

More than three hours later, the Serapis surrendered and Jones took command.

During the ratification process of the US Constitution it became clear that the Constitution could not be ratified without a series of amendments that would clearly articulate one no after another no as to what the US Government would not be allowed to do. These amendments, demanded by the anti-Federalists, became known as the “Bill of Rights.” The “Bill of Rights” is a classic American exercise in saying, “no”. As you read the Bill of Rights count how many times the word “no” or “not” or “nor” is penned.

“In late September 1835 the order went out from the President of Mexico, Santa Anna, for the recovery of a canon that had been loaned to the citizens of Gonzales Texas. The Mexican officer charged with collecting the canon was told “no, you cannot have the cannon” by one Joseph Clements of Gonzales. Two women of Gonzalez decided to memorialize regidore Clements’ famous no with a flag sewn from a wedding dress. Sarah Seely and Eveline DeWitt stitched the dress into a white flag which bore a black star, and a cannon, with four words that simplified and embellished Clements’ “no”. Those four words were “COME AND TAKE IT.”

In World War II Germany was down to a last gasp offensive that came to be known as the “Battle of the Bulge.” In the small town of Bastogne the 101st US Airborne, having just arrived to hold a vital cross-roads connected w/ Bastogne that the Germans desperately needed, was soon overwhelmed with superior German numbers. The Americans had few supplies and hardly any tanks or vehicles. If the 101st fell the Germans would achieve breakout w/ the result of second life for the Nazi’s. The German commander demanded that commanding officer General McAuliffe surrender. McAuliffe returned a one word no reply simply saying, Nuts.

America has a long and storied history of saying “no.” Today there is a desperate necessity for key Americans to once again rekindle the patriotic “no”. Today Congress is meeting w/ President Obama to discuss Obama’s Marxist Death Care. Today Republicans need to take up the Mantle of John Paul Jones, the anti-federalists, The citizens of Gonzales, and General Anthony McAuliffe and tell the enemy “no.”

They need not fear being labeled the “Party of no,” for such a intended epitaph is what every rebellious child would hurl at a responsible adult for not allowing the Child to play with what would kill him if the Parent allowed them to have what they want. Instead, Republicans should glory in being called the party of “no.”

Oh that Republican would say today,

“Hell no, we will not allow you to implement socialized medicine. Hell no, we can’t afford this proposed death fiasco. Hell no, we don’t care if you throw a temper tantrum and threaten reconciliation. When it comes to dumb arse Marxist ideas we are proud to embrace the long and storied history of the American no.”

If I were a political consultant right now I would be telling candidates that they need to run in 2010 as being proud members of the coalition of “No.” Run commercials where the Democratic opponent is seen speaking in favor of Marxist Death Care, Cap and Trade, amnesty for illegal immigrants and the stimulus fund. Then simply run a message that says, “My name is _________ and I said ‘no’ to the decline of America.”

Congressmen … just tell Obama and the Democrats …. “No.”

While addressing Republicans in Baltimore MD. President Obama said, “I Am Not An Ideologue.”

Shortly afterward, President Obama went on to say to the assembled Republicans that, “I am not a Black man.”

I’m not making this up … well at least not the first part.

But both statements are equally believable and each statement leaves one equally incredulous.

I realize that everyone is writing about Obama and his administrations attempt to spin their repudiation in Massachusetts as a happening which coincides with people’s support for Obama but I just can’t help putting my fork in here.

Massachusetts is so blue that its voters are descendants of smurfs. Massachusetts residents are so blue that they make the natives in the movie “Avatar” look peaked and sickly. Yet, in spite of this state’s coloring of a suffocating hypothermia victim the administration expects people to believe that these smurfs voted for a candidate that ran on an anti-Obama agenda platform in order to register their support for Obama? The mind boggles.

Now, I understand we live in a post-modern world where people do things that are completely irrational but if this analysis is accurate then I’m giving up trying to do any analysis of the social order.

Now, naturally, Obama and his administration don’t really believe their lies. All of their spin only reveals that these people are true believers. They are “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” on passing through their Marxist death care legislation and they are not going to allow one election give them pause. We must keep in mind that these people rightfully believe that they can push the nation irretrievably socialist if they can just pass their death care legislation. Such a legislative accomplishment will create a permanent constituency just as Social Security and the Great Society created permanent leftist constituencies one and two generations ago.

Also, I think we need to keep in mind that Obama, as a man on a mission from god, doesn’t give a rat’s left cheek about whether or not he is re-elected. I think that it is entirely possible that Obama is viewing his current 4 year presidency as his only 4 years. If he believes that why would he care to go temperate in the pursuit of his agenda?

At the below link Dick Morris offers an explanation how the Obama-ites intend to yet push through the death care socialist legislation,

Americans, in light of the Massachusetts election, must not cast off their vigilance. I write this because I have spoken to many people who have told me, with a sense of relief, that health care is dead with the Scott Brown election, as if the attempt to push the legislation by the Obama administration will cease. Don’t you believe it.

These people are both true believers and unparalleled narcissists. True believers and narcissists live in alternate realities and in their reality the nation is comprised of idiots who can be led by benighted elites who show their mettle by persevering against the tantrums of the idiots.

Or maybe they are just smoking some really good weed.

Freshman Confgressman Mark Schauer Suffers In Polls From Obamaitis

“A Republican poll shows freshman Rep. Mark Schauer (D-Mich.) down by nine.

The National Research Inc. poll, conducted for former Rep. Tim Walberg’s (R-Mich.) campaign, has Walberg leading Schauer 46-37, and 50-40 with ‘leaners.’

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/76647-schauer-is-latest-incumbent-dem-to-trail-in-early-poll

This is of interest to me because Mark Schauer is my US Congressman.

Now, I’m no fan of former US Congressman Tim Walberg who is leading Schauer in the current polls (see

https://ironink.org/index.php?blog=1&title=congressman_walberg_writes_pastor_bret&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

as he doesn’t really believe in strict constitutional restrictions upon the size of the Federal government. But if Walberg is for allowing the Federal Government to get kind of porky Schauer is for allowing the Federal government to get grossly obese. Schauer has voted for the Obama death care legislation and I am of the persuasion that Schauer must pay the price for aligning himself w/ this fascist socialist monstrosity. I also don’t think much of Schauer because he refuses to interact w/ his constituency face to face in live townhall meetings. Schauer has instead avoided the voting public but using controlled phone tele-conferences in order to limit the kind of visible interaction that might cast him in an unfavorable light.

I can not bring myself to vote for Tim Walberg but I won’t have any tears when Mark Schauer is defeated this fall.

Obama Senior Officials Promise That Obama Is Going To Go All Combative

President Barack Obama plans a combative response if, as White House aides fear, Democrats lose Tuesday’s special Senate election in Massachusetts, close advisers say.

“This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt,” a senior administration official said. “It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31629.html

With all my being I hope that B. Hussein Obama follows through on these words. In 1994 when President Clinton was smacked up side the head with the midterm congressional Republican revolution he wised up and dumped his controversial Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders, and ran to the political middle as was seen in his co-opting the Republicans by stealing some of their issues and claiming them for his own. It was a brilliant political move by Clinton that insured his re-election in 1996. Clinton, learning from the beating he had taken, even said, “The era of big government is over.”

However, if Obama is really intent on being combative and in a mule headed fashion decides to press ahead with his agenda despite a possible Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts it will be like manna falling from heaven for the Republicans. Such a combative attitude in Obama will literally destroy the Democratic party in the mid-term 2010 elections. If Obama refuses to try to include Republican involvement due to a combative turn on his part that combativeness will snap back so hard in 2010 he will be headed towards becoming a one term lame duck president.

It is quite amazing how tone deaf the Democratic party has become. It is almost as if they are living in an alternate universe. Obama promises to be combative. Pelosi promises that regardless of a Brown victory Health Care is going to pass. Barney Frank argues that the Senate should lift its filibuster rules so Health Care legislation will pass. These people are incredible. But let them keep on living in their alternate universe, for the “Gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter will return.”
