Predictions, expectations, sure bets for the next two years?

What seemed like immature grandstanding on their part was a perfect example of how the left tries to stonewall any argument it doesn’t like. Not willing or able to provide actual intelligent and rational arguments of their own, the two women exited the stage.

Barbara Walters showed she was closer to a true liberal by telling the audience that what just happened was wrong and shouldn’t never occur on their show. It’s a talk show, after all. And as hosts, they should show some measure of respect to their guests. It seems the View’s history of crank hosts is still going strong.

The topic was the merits of the Ground Zero Mosque. O’Reilly made the point that most people are against it. But in the craven view of multi-culturalists, to not endorse this monument to a religion that encourages misogyny, not to mention death to non believers, is a thought crime. Forget jokes like why did the French line their avenues with trees? So Nazis can march in the shade. The progressives not only want to shut down any dissent about the ground zero mosque, they want to label anyone opposed to it as racists. We’re just waiting for them to start buying prayer rugs and eating halal food.

They don’t want to debate the issue. They try to crush debate. Bill O’Reilly was chastised, even by quasi-conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck because he didn’t qualify his statement by saying “terrorists” instead of Muslims.

Yes, they were terrorists. They were also Muslims. And while it’s also a true that most Muslims aren’t terrorists, one cannot get around the fact that the religion has, at its core, the creedo that killing non-believers is the duty of a devout Muslim. It’s in the Koran. Multiple places.

Thankfully, most Muslims aren’t foolish enough to take this advice. Most people, of any faith, understand it’s better to live and let live and not go around attacking people you disagree with.

Unfortunately, the builders of the proposed Cordoba Center are not willing to disavow terrorist groups. They named their project after a mosque, built on a sacred Christian church, that the Muslims took by force from Spain. This is what Islamists do. They conquer places, build mosques on holy sites like planting a flag. They lost that one, because the Christians took it back. But bringing up its name is hardly inspiring as a peace offering. Neither is building a huge, towering structure, the largest mosque in the west, as close as possible to the place 3,000 people were murdered by fanatical psychopaths in the name of Islam. It’s like planting a flag and most people get what they’re doing.

The builders are refusing to relocate their “Islamic Cultural Center” to someplace else. Offers have been made to help them. They would not listen reason. Hardly the act of peacemakers. They obviously want it built there for a reason. And somehow I doubt it’s so they can be closed to some strip clubs.

The majority of New Yorkers don’t want it there. A recent poll of Muslims said that most of them didn’t want it there either because they know it would cause ill will.

Behar and Goldberg’s stunt was a way to try to kill the debate. The GZM fans do not want the subject to go anywhere except in the direction the proponents of the mosque want it to go. Like the Democrats on Obamacare, they don’t care what the majority of Americans want or think. They’re going to tell us what to believe.

In a free society, we shouldn’t allow such intolerance of opinions and the public’s will go unchallenged. The mainstream media tries to use its hamfisted tricks to try to manufacture consent. Self righteous partisans like the two View hosts should not be allowed to play their games without consequences. We should let them know what we think.

Let’s be frank. Progressives against freedom of speech need to be outed and chastised for what they are. They do not have the interests of the public at heart. They are in fact, dictators of the public discourse, deciding what will and will not be allowed to be spoken. Well, we don’t have to take it.

As Americans, we can’t allow that sort of thing to go unchallenged. For too long we’ve accepted this behavior. Look where it has gotten us.

No more. In the age of email, YouTube and blogs, we can push back.

Let them have a piece of your mind.

I don’t like the Democrats because they are statists. They are for big government and more taxes. They are also for mob rule. They want a democratic society, not a Republic. That is a disastrous recipe. Big government always leads to tyranny, democracy lacks the limited government structure of a Republic, which makes it harder for corruption to prevail. Democrats seem to love corruption. They wallow in it like pigs in their own dung. That’s why they seek to undermine our limited-government constitution at every point. You can go back to Tammany Hall right up to today to see their disregard for the rule of law. Rangel and Waters were merely caught. They are far from outliers.

I dislike the Republicans because they don’t practice what they preach. They’re supposed to be the party of smaller government and lower taxes. But they are just like ’70s Democrats now. Aside from the Bush tax cuts, they’ve expanded government and spending to obscene levels. When the Democrats came into power they just made the Republicans look conservative by contrast.

Less terrible is still terrible. The Republicans share the blame for our debt. But what I really dislike about Republicans is how elitist they are. They cherry pick their primary candidates before the people can choose. They ram their picks through. The public is given a token choice, but the party rigs the results. A great example was the primary race this week. Delaware says it all.

Mike Castle was a weak RINO who, along with 23 other Republicans, voted to refer Dennis Kucinich’s motion to impeach George W. Bush to the judiciary committee in 2008. That move right there should be a clue he was a terrible pick to fight the Democrats. But the GOP put their money on him and they ran an incredibly vicious campaign against the tea party candidate, Christine O’Donnell. They ran all kinds of negative ads against her and robo-calls up to the last minute — but she clobbered Castle by eight points.

They tried to rig the results but the public is wise to them now. The message from the voters is clear. No more status quo candidates. No more beltway bozos.

The Republican National committee answered thusly: “We’re not going to give her any money. She can get the tea party to pay for her campaign.”

They just don’t get it. The anger out there is about taking the government back from the beltway creeps on either side of the aisle. Status quo candidates will get kicked to the curb. The GOP had better get a clue that voters want government spending and size cut or they will get the chop next. This is not a joke.

The beltway bozos, who thought being like the Democrats was the way to win elections, are going to find out the hard way they were wrong. Already the Democrats are saying the Tea Party is moving the GOP too far to the right. Here is the Dems’ latest blather:

“Today the Republican Party has shown just how far right it has moved,” DNC Chairman Tim Kaine said in a written statement. “While Americans in Delaware and across the country are eager for both parties to work together toward solutions that move America forward, Delaware’s Tea Party Republicans have nominated a self-aggrandizing and divisive candidate who seeks to tear down the progress we’ve made to recover from failed Republican economic policies that took us to the brink of economic collapse.”

But privately they are quaking in fear, shivering in their booties. They know 2010 is over for them. Their only hope is to keep trying to make the tea party into a fringe movement. Their media lackies have been doing that for the last year and a half. It’s a tactic that is failing miserably.  Now that the GOP is finding their chosen are getting mowed down, they may join the Dems and the press in trying to hurt the tea party.

But they will do that at their peril. The public has had enough. We’re almost at the point of busting into the Bastille. The voters are sending a message to Washington that business as usual is over. For the last year and a half Democrats have been telling the voters they don’t care what they want.

Now the voters are showing them the door. If the Republicans don’t wake up, they’ll be joining the Dems out in the cold.

2010 is a year of reckoning.

Why would she?  It fit the narrative.

And let’s not forget MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, who revealed her frustration that the suspect is an Islamic terrorist. The horror!

I mean the thing is that — and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

What a shame it wasn’t some white person, in other words. Isn’t it just racist to assume Muslim terrorists blow things up? I mean, really!

Why assume the obvious when you have a narrative you want to sling, which is that the tea party and conservatives are the only real threat to society?After all, they tried to block Obamacare! What an outrage. Why would anyone want to prevent people from dealing with massive, uncaring government bureaucracy for their healthcare instead of much smaller insurance bureaucracy which you could at least fire if you didn’t like them? Why try to prevent the formation of “death panels” and the destruction of medical innovation and doctor shortages unless you’re just downright mean?

So the media just had to get those digs in. I’m sure Mayor Bloomberg is busting with pride seeing how his CSI-like sleuthing figured out this whodunit in the blink of an ideological eye. Or maybe not.

Ever since the tea parties became a growing threat to the establishment, their lackeys in the zombie media have tried to hammer home the message that tea parties are evil. And why not blame them for terrorism now, since calling them racists didn’t work.

But reality has a way of raining on their parade, no matter how they like to spin it. An Pakistani man was arrested while boarding a flight to Dubai. He’s admitted to creating the bomb. Oops!

The mindless animosity the press seems to have toward the tea party is beginning to sound like the rhetoric of a hate group.  It’s long past the ridiculous stage. Pretty soon those corporate logos on the alphabet networks are going to look like symbols people get tattooed on their biceps in some prison gang. The fabled “objectivity” of the press is more mythical than the unicorns President Obama rides to work on every day.

Will the press ever get off that “infotainment” shtick and get back to real journalism? Or are they doomed to ever-dwindling viewership until they finally vanish from sight like that little white dot in the center of an old TV screen when it’s turned off. At the rate they’re going, it’s a moot point.

There’s an attempt to brand any dissenters of this administration as being crazed and dangerous radicals. CBS made the claim that the Tea Party is made up almost entirely of older white people, which is media code for “racist”. Apparently, having a group of white people is equal to the Klan or a Nazi march. Which is fascinating because CBS, MSNBC, et al. are groups made up mostly of older white people. Bust out the schnapps!

Of course, CBS has a poor record of polling, as theirs tends to be skewed. Gallup did a poll of Tea Partiers that found they were very close to the American mainstream except for having fewer Democrats. And this is what scares the establishment. The mainstream is against them. So they’ve decided to attack the Tea Party — and, by extension, ordinary Americans — as never before.

First they ignored them, then they mocked them, now they’re attacking them. Sounds familiar. Oh, yes…I remember now. Gandhi said it:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,then they fight you, then you win.

The Tea Party protesters are Americans, of all races, who disagree with the policies of this administration. They’re protesting non-violently. There is no racism involved. Many key speakers at the rallies are non-white. The only violence at Tea Party rallies has come from leftists and Democrat operatives. There have been plenty of incidents in which  Democrat minions have attacked Tea Party protesters, yet the media and the Democrats are painting the Tea Party as dangerous villains. Former President Bill Clinton has again implied that dissenters of this administration are like the right-wing extremists who bombed the Oklahoma City federal building.

The zombie media laps this up and breathlessly reports it. Apparently, the ex-president forgets his own lack of concern over much worse rhetoric during the Bush years.

Time Magazine’s paid Democrat shill, Joe Klein, has even gone so far as to accuse Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, two popular conservative pundits, of sedition.

Add to this Homeland Security’s report last year that conservatives and veterans posed a possible terrorist threat and you see the makings of a “wag the dog” scenario wherein any trumped-up incident can be used as an excuse to target dissenters as possible threats. It’s an intimidation tactic right out of the totalitarian playbook. It’s no coincidence that the people who love big government are the very ones making these moves.

This is what they think of your free speech. You’re free to agree with them. If you don’t, you will be demonized and, at the very least, ridiculed.

But remember what Gandhi said. Keep up the non-violent protest, go to the elections with a renewed sense of purpose and vote out those who think these kinds of tactics are acceptable. The people need to take their country back.
