Fascism Comes to America

This apocryphal quote has been attributed to Sinclair Lewis:

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

Trouble is, he probably never said it. However, real-life events give it a ring of truth. Consider we've had a president who...

"explained that a "true leader" uses the masses like "tools." He must inflame their passions with little heed for the facts. "Men are as clay in the hands of the consummate leader."

 "Government does now whatever experience permits or the times demand."

Who was that president? George W. Bush? Richard Nixon? Ronald Reagan?

No.  Those quotes all come from Democrat and Proto-Progressive Woodrow Wilson, and he did wrap his actions in the flag and the Bible.  Democrat progressives have since burned the Bible and trampled the flag, but their truth still marches on.

Modern-Day Democrat Presidents Uphold the Progressive Tradition

President Obama is merely following in Wilson's footsteps when his IRS punishes conservatives and his federal agents raid guitar factories whose owners didn't pay a big enough political bribe.

Democrat Bill Clinton carried on the progressive tradition by murdering Randy Weaver's wife and child after coercing Weaver into the illegal act of sawing down the barrel of a shotgun.

Remember when Clinton sent Janet Reno to Waco where she burned up a compound full of religious cultists in a military-style siege?

How about when Clinton's militarized agents did Castro's bidding by storming the home of Elian Gonzalez's family to resolve an administrative matter? Clinton then sent the young boy back to the Cuban communist dictatorship, and this was after Elian's mother had died at sea bringing him to freedom in America.

The New Left Unmasked in Wisconsin

But wait!  There's more!  Have you heard of the John Doe raids in Wisconsin?  Democrats used local and federal law enforcement to punish supporters of Republican Governor Scott Walker.

When Vladimir Putin sends government thugs to raid opposition offices, the world clucks its tongue. But, after all, Putin's a corrupt dictator, so what do you expect?

But in Wisconsin, Democratic prosecutors were raiding political opponents' homes and, in a worse-than-Putin twist, they were making sure the world didn't even find out, by requiring their targets to keep quiet. (Glenn Harlan Reynolds)

Here are some quotes from David French's excellent article:

“People came pouring in. For a second I thought it was a home invasion. It was terrifying. They were yelling and running, into every room in the house. One of the men was in my face, yelling at me over and over and over.”

"They were carrying a battering ram."

"Don’t call your lawyer. Don’t tell anyone about this raid. Not even your mother, your father, or your closest friends."

These fascistic lawfare raids were initiated by rogue Democrat prosecutor John Chisolm, DA of Milwaukee County and conducted under unconstitutional secrecy laws...

"...secrecy orders, conservatives were left to suffer in silence as leaks ruined their reputations, as neighbors, looking through windows and dismayed at the massive police presence, the lights shining down on targets’ homes, wondered, no doubt, What on earth did that family do?"

Do Conservative Lives Matter?

Lawsuits are winding their way through the courts, so justice for the victims of an out of control Democrat police state may yet be served. Despite smashed-in doors of innocent citizens' homes, terrifying raids and threats from the state, not one person has been prosecuted, but many still live in fear, so in one sense, it's Mission Accomplished for progressive Democrats obeying President Obamas's admonishment to punish their enemies.

The New Left is not Liberal:  Progressivism = Neofascism

There is nothing liberal about progressives.  Their actions show them to be dictatorial, left-wing statists who will turn thuggish and even murderous when their agenda is threatened. No fraud is too great, no abuse of official power too grotesque to bend the nation to their will.

Scott Walker beat them fair and square in the political arena, but they could not stand him dismantling their dirty crime syndicate that systematically ripped off taxpayers, so they launched an unconstitional lawfare campaign against his supporters.

Leftwing Progressives are dangerous, and we should never trust them with any power at any level of government.

Liberals Can’t Handle the Truth

Liberals have a reality problem. They just can’t face it.

According to liberals, we're not broke, unions and government create jobs, the schools are just fine and we need to keep giving them more money, big government is great and we need more of it...  It's a catalog of lunacy.  No wonder moderates and independents last November ran screaming from the nuthouse known as the democratic party.

And the dems just don't get it.  They lost Keith Olberman's Countdown, but they now eagerly tune in each night for red-faced ranter Ed Schultz's Nightly Meltdown.

The latest spycam video showed progressive flagship NPR’s true colors, which all already knew anyway. It is a white, east coast, metrosexual effete, snobbish organization. They are anti-Jewish and anti-black. Just ask Juan Williams about the condescending treatment he received from them.

It's not about women, minorities and the oppressed--It's about advancing the statist agenda

Liberals are for women, just not conservative or religious ones like Sarah Palin, or threatened ones like Molly Norris, who is in hiding because 7th century islamists threatened to cut her head off over cartoons. They are for women standing up to powerful oppressors, unless those women live in the Muslim world. Then its ok that they’re oppressed. Liberals stand against sexual harassment and powerful men using their position to gain sexual favors, unless the man is a democrat president, then it’s ok.

Liberals are for blacks and gays, unless they are conservative or decide they want to attend a tea party rally.

You see, it’s not about blacks, or gays or women, it’s about advancing a statist progressive agenda. Minorities, the oppressed and the downtrodden are just extras, props cynically used to advance the agenda.

We want a do over!

Wisconsin is the latest theater of the absurd, where hysterical liberals display their inability to accept reality. The people voted, democrats lost, so they cried and scampered off to Illinois like the cowering cowards they are. Like petulant children refusing to take a bath, they stamped their feet and stuck out their tongues at the electorate.

Now, they are gearing up recall elections, crying “We want a do over!” They cannot accept reality, so they now seek to change it. Good luck with that, although their approach of siding with money-gobbling, capitol-wrecking unions, and standing against the taxpaying voter is a novel approach. More of that reality problem I guess...

Unions: A Progressive Assault on America

President Obama Calls Wisconsin Budget Bill "Assault on Unions"


He's wrong, as usual.  Unions are an assault on America.  They've destroyed Detroit, and they turned America's industrial heartland into a rust belt.

"We've got a right to organize!"  they shout.  Sure, on your own damned time and your own damned dime!  You've also got a right to STFU, and get back to work doing what the taxpayers are paying you to do.  And while you're at it, could you explain to us why you are more entitled another dollar than the taxpayer that earned it?

Why should laid off workers fund your pension plan and your health care?
Why should private sector workers pay your pension plan, when we have to fund our own?  Why should people who have taken 5, 10 or 20% pay cuts fund you health care when you don't chip in a dime?

The private sector unemployment rate is 10%, what is the government sector unemployment rate?

In the 90's, over 100,000 active duty personnel were unceremoniously tossed from the public payroll.  Where was the outcry?  These same troops also went years with no pay raises.  Where was the liberal concern?

I'm not complaining.  This is how over 80% of us live, and we were doing just fine until the government blew up the economy.  My company simply announced two years ago that they were cutting in half their 401K matching contribution, and pay raises were a fraction of what they were in previous years.  No arbitration, no collective bargaining, just an announcement.  Each worker was free to like it or lump it or take it down the road and dump it.

We have labor laws and contract laws in this country, so lets drop the crap about government workers being abused, not having adequate representation, bla bla bla... 

How do the 80% of us not covered by unions have a “voice?”  Simple.  We talk to the boss and ask for a raise.  If we ask for more than we are worth he tells us no.  If he values us, we strike a deal mutually beneficial to both.

How do you justify a government salary? 
Government makes no profit that workers can demand a share of, as in the private industry.  That's why government unions are an abomination anyway.  FDR knew that and he was opposed to government unions.

Unionism is a fundamental mistrust of the free market place.  Union workers are afraid of getting paid what they are really worth.  It's especially absurd to see credentialed professionals band together in unions, which serves only to protect the shoddiest among them.  Most professions aim to expel the bums from their ranks in order to raise the worth of each professional; teachers unions do the opposite.

Wisconsin Looks Like Egypt, Turned into a Third-World Country by Screaming Idiots in the Democratic Party

Yeah, it's Egypt, and Obama is Mubarack.  The citizens of this country, and the residents of Wisconsin, voted to throw off the shackles of progressivism last November, and the rioting astroturfers in Madison are the government cronies straining to prop up the tyrannical status quo.  We have a president who lost big time in the last election but he refuses to accept the will of the people. Simple-minded liberals transparently capture a meme and then abuse it.  They view themselves as heroic democracy demonstrators in the public square, but it's just the opposite.

Democrats are the party of statism, Republicans are the party of the people

The Democrats are the party of yesterday, staunchly screaming themselves hoarse in defense of a rotten, outdated system that has ushered us to the brink of failure.  Now we have a sitting president unleashing his rabble of community activists, poverty pimps, professional troublemakers and race hustlers upon the capitols of various states.  Yes, the President himself has been implicated in mobilizing the red-faced, rioting hordes that are demanding a deeper reach into the taxpayers' pockets.

Welcome to the third-world.  Brought to you by the statist progressives of the Democratic party.
