blahdy, blah, blah, blahg: Sticks and Stones

Remember when we were kids, and the loudmouth and their buddies at school or in your neighborhood, had no problem calling people names, or telling people lies about you or your friends, just for their own agenda or entertainment ??
You usually did one of two things, either yelled back,
or physically tried to shut their mouth.
No matter which it was, it always seemed that the one who got in trouble was the one defending themselves.
Or if you were caught by a liberal teacher,
BOTH parties had to "share equally" in the punishment.
Then, when you got home the real trouble began.
You would say to your parents, they started it by telling all your friends lies, or calling you names.

What did Mom always say ???
You just tell them....
"Sticks and Stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"

Well...
Mom was wrong !!!

That's right I said it...
Mom was wrong,
because it sure felt like those words hurt,
and the wrath you endured afterwords sure hurt.
Whether it was the damage control you had to embark upon to restore your reputation,
or the damage done when you couldn't...
those words hurt.

Well now that we're all growed up and stuff, those same people seem to have figured out that tactic worked every time. And now it is even more costly.
Words can and do cost you dearly, either in your career or your personal life. However, the price paid now has exponentially increased, and your ability to refute, has decreased equally in the opposite direction.

Let's extrapolate that to our current political environment.

Back in the February 23 blog "where are you now?" I outlined the hypocrisy that is the Left and its media base,
and I asked "where are you now".
Every night on the news for the previous eight years we heard this...

or this...

Again I ask...just where are these people now ???
We aren't out of Iraq as he promised his voters,
and in fact President Obama and Congress sent 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan.....
So where is the outrage and the pictures of coffins with daily body counts from the main stream media that we saw at nauseum every night for eight straight years ????
Their silence is deafening....

and yet we still get more of this...

The problem here is that Mr. Carter is singling out the people voicing their displeasure with President Obama,
Just how do you differentiate these two groups?
Why is the group demonstrating against President Bush true "patriots" innocently exerting their first amendment rights...
while those who oppose President Obama in the same manor considered "dangerous right wing extremists"?

but you never really saw any of this in the news...

but you heard plenty of this...

and God forbid the media cross Pelosi...

followed up with a healthy dose of this...

and just for good measure....a little fear mongering...
from the Speaker of the House herself...Nancy Pelosi...

ooopsy...sorry...wrong snippitt...
an easy mistake...(maybe it's just me)but they look and sound so much alike....

The leader of the House of Representatives "believes we should all take responsibility for what we say"...

As you may have read in the February 25 episode "the enemy within",
I talked about the Dept. of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitanos' release of her report on terrorism.
In that document she states that "right-wing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States."

But it seems to me that our Liberal government leaders keep screaming from the top of the capital steps to watch out for this group...

While the Left-Wing news organizations and blogs are bursting at the seams with "information" and "warnings" from "scary new polls", such as...
"Obama Derangement Syndrome—pathological hatred of the president posing as patriotism—has infected the Republican Party."...and that "We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the process."
They continue with, polls "clearly show that education is a barrier to extremism. Respondents without a college education are vastly more likely to believe such claims, while Americans with college degrees or better are less easily duped."
Then cap it all off by calling all of those people... "Hatriots".

Hmmm...
I wonder who's going to take responsibility for those statements ? So let's see...
people who believe in serving in the military,
who believe in their right to own a firearm,
who believe that this country is borrowing too much,
spending too much,
and that the government is taxing too much,
are uneducated "Hatriots" who have been
"easily duped" into "demonizing our President"...

Soooooo....what about the groups of demonstrators at the beginning of this blog ???
Weren't they also "playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States" as well as uneducated "Hatriots" who had been "easily duped" into
"demonizing our President"...????

I don't recall hearing anything even remotely similar to that then....do you ???

Don't they think that by broad brushing such large group of people some might be offended, just a little bit ?!?!?....Maybe...just a little...

Or is that EXACTLY what they think,
and Exactly the reaction they want to see ???
In one lefty bloggers' own words...
"What might be good for ratings is bad for the country."

What I find completely disingenuous is that for over a year Congress and this administration ignored every poll, including this CNN/Opinion Research poll stating that "an overwhelming majority of those surveyed -- 72 percent -- want Congress either to make major changes, start over from scratch, or simply stop working on health care legislation. Just 26 percent want Congress to pass the current health care proposal as is."
They evidently couldn't see or hear these people...

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that:
11% of voters rate Congress’ performance as good.
64% of voters say Congress is doing a poor job.
41% of voters think most members of Congress are corrupt.
76% think members of Congress are most interested in their own careers.
80% of voters think most members of Congress did not understand the Healthcare Bill before they voted on it.
63% of all voters nationally believe it would be best for the
country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November.
75% of voters are angry at the policies of the federal government.
64% of voters now view House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unfavorably.
56% of voters now view Senate Majority leader Harry Reid unfavorably.

butt watta we no...der de der derr derr...
after sum karful thinkun a corse... ar unejikated anser ta dis wood be...

an if yu ax us...dis shud be ar nuw anthumb...

The irony here is that they couldn't hear or see any of the "unejikated" people who kept answering every poll call, showed up at townhall meetings, demonstrated at the Capitol and wrote or phoned their Congress person screaming NOOOO !!!! at the top of their lungs.
But just two days after passing the Healthcare Bill,
after being completely ignored, lied to, labeled as stupid or racist, and called names,
a very small portion, of this huge group of people,
who stood and said for almost two years,
Sticks and Stones will break our bones but words will never hurt us...
were finally frustrated enough to wrongly take action by throwing a brick at a window or by making a stupid threat....

and suddenly our Progressive Liberal Lawmakers could hear them loud and clear,

So.... now we will ALL SHARE in the punishment together....
because now....
we are ALL "right-wing extremists" whos' "ideology is the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States."

Right on cue....

Just as Dept. of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano predicted....

HMMMMMMMMM......coincidence ??????

Suddenly it appears they read every poll or blog, and listen to every phone call, or can hear a single persons slurs in a crowd of thousands....
even though they can't hear the thousands,
who just wanted an answer or even acknowledgement that they are there !!!

Well, while I in no way condone the actions of these fringe few...
I do wonder....
