- How to handle hate

            There are certain absolutes in American news media. If a group of conservatives devised a plan by which minorities could better themselves though entrepreneurial endeavors and move beyond public housing.  The New York Times headline would read, “Republicans try to take away black people’s homes”. I do not recall all the details of the story but as a youth I picked up on this bias when I heard this quote in a story about the Middle East “Israeli soldiers today violated a cease fire agreement when they returned fire against Palestinian gunman”. Those danged Jews, defending themselves like that!

This still goes on, CNN recently referred to Sarah Palin speaking to a tea party gathering “of at least dozens” in Searchlight Nev. The crowd was 8-10 thousand. Sen. Harry Reid could only muster a hundred in the same town, his home town. Truthfully this type of bias is so obvious and so over the top it could be considered great comic material, but recent fraudulent attacks on tea party patriots and other outspoken conservatives is no laughing matter.

            There is a danger. Hate crimes laws can easily be twisted to hinder free speech. Our tolerant open minded friends north of the border at the University of Western Ontario were transformed into a mob from a Frankenstein movie at the fear Ann Coulter might utter an opinion they disagreed with. Political correctness in its finished form is tyranny. The President and his supporters in congress and the press are every bit as determined to smear and degrade any political opposition as they are to raise the debt and defile the constitution. The ‘bridge too far’ in their strategy is the accusations of racism and violence against the tea party protests. When speaker Pelosi  and the Democrats walked through the crowd with the Medicare gavel intentionally provoking angry Americans whose liberty they were stealing on that dark Sunday Healthcare was passed, they intended to provoke someone to yell something inappropriate. While they claim to have heard the n word and the f word video and audio evidence is as hard to find as a fact in an Al Gore movie. Facts mean nothing to liberals.

            What shall we do? First, remember this is a blatant shameless attempt to silence you, do not let it. Shout louder, proclaim liberty, and take inspiration from Paul Revere, “bankruptcy is coming, healthcare rationing is coming, and restrictions on free speech are coming”. Our founders were not deterred by threat of the rope; neither shall we be silenced regardless of the danger.

            Next, disagree factually. When the liberals accuse us of racism in opposing Pres. Obama be ready with facts, when you counter “you racist idiot you,” by quoting article 9 of the constitution and applying it properly the debate is yours. Those facts so despised by the left are our best friends. Attempts to vilify and even criminalize opposition will fail, when confronted with the truth. Read the bills, know the constitution, and familiarize yourself with representative’s voting records and candidate’s positions on issues. Consider joining an organization like the Heritage Foundation, and reading some of the fine books about conservativism. Any chance you have to read and quote Reagan, take it.

                                               

            Finally, disagree respectfully, accept that nasty false accusations are coming, and make certain that whatever they accuse us of is a lie. Barrack Obama has said “if they bring a knife we bring a gun.” The left’s dagger is intimidation, our revolver is our resolve. I realize that every example of bad conduct in the country will be blamed on Palin, Limbaugh or the tea party’s angry rhetoric. Yet when it comes to bad behavior we are amateurs compared to the left, and it will stay that way, I’m certain. The difference is thanks to the internet and talk radio they no longer can hide their reprehensible conduct behind a complacent and compliant press.

            As far as anger goes, I am angry. I struggle to find words to state my emotions that are not profane. This is not the “go outside and throw things” anger that will simply fade away. It is a righteous anger that manifests itself in a determination to force the liberals to get their d---- hands of my country and stop threatening my children’s future.

It is the same anger I feel when I see a picture of the New York City skyline taken in 1999. No one would have guessed when they awoke September 11, 2001 that the World Trade Center would be gone when they went to bed; just like few Americans thought when they elected Barrack Obama that our constitution would lie in smoldering ruins one year later. Did I really just compare the Democrats to Al-Qaeda? (Pres Obama’s good friend Bill Ayers did try to destroy the Pentagon, just like a few of the late Osama bin Laden’s pals did. Besides, the liberals and the terrorists have one very important thing in common, they dislike this country and intend to make it something very different from what the framers intended.

            We intend to stop them.

 Until next time, keep on the firing line.
