You want some brie with that whine?

Time For The Big Guns: Calling ‘Em Names

By

I laughed out loud this evening when I was told that Democrats are now calling supporters of Massachusetts state senator Scott Brown “radicals”.

Yes, dear readers, those of us who support a candidate with conservative views have been upgraded from “right-wing extremists” to “radicals”.  And all without a single mention of the issues at hand.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., claimed in an e-mail that “swift boaters” were trying to sink Coakley, a reference to the ads that targeted him in the 2004 presidential campaign. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called Brown a “far-right tea-bagger” in an e-mail, using a term that also can refer to a sexual act. Then on Friday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., wrote in a fundraising e-mail that Coakley was “being attacked by tea partiers and right-wing radicals.” 

Poor, poor Martha Coakley.  She’s not sinking like a stone in the polls because of her track record of hypocrisy, is she?  Surely someone held a gun to her head and forced her to misuse those state resources for her campaign.  And surely she was forced to keep those innocent people in prison.  And surely having her murky past coming back to haunt her is simply so embarrassing that she and her campaign workers have forgotten how to use spell check before they air their union-sponsored, negative attack ads against Scott Brown.

Cue those flying pigs and pass her some brie to go with her whine.

The woman is a stereotypical political scumbag Democrat.  And the other stereotypical scumbag Democrats, led by His Transparency himself, President Walking Eagle, are now scuttling out from the woodwork to rally around her only because they want her guaranteed vote for their progressive liberal socialist plans for America.  If that 60th Senate vote wasn’t so critical to their unconstitutional takeover of America, they’d be wiping her name off their lips with a piece of that infamous blue dress.

Martha Coakley is just another useful tool for the progressive liberal machine.   And if calling it like it is and wanting the law of this land to be defended and protected by those we send to Washingon is a “radical” concept, well, there’s a whole lot of Americans who are proud to claim it.

Change To Keep

By

I was there.  Were you?

Perusing the news outlets this morning was a sadly enlightening confirmation of what I’ve seen happening the last few years.  The mainstream media either ignored or, finally and with disgustingly crude profanity, derided it outright, but unlike the progressive liberals, those who actually support the United States – and their fellow Americans – by working and paying their taxes booked time off from their jobs or used their lunch hour to attend the first of the American Tea Parties.  Undaunted by the latest humdinger label of “right-wing extremist”, average citizens (including even union members who see the same waste in paying more and more taxes as they see paying union dues) gathered together and marched on state capitals and city halls from sea to shining sea in a demonstration of their anger at the fact that, best described by a bumper sticker being handed out at the one I attended, “Taxation WITH representation is tyranny”.

It was a lovely sight, that of thousands of my fellow Americans exercising their rights to peacefully assemble and speak freely.   All told, the count of participants  headed up towards a million people.  On a workday.  In the middle of the week. 

 That’s the kind of change we can keep.
