			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m tired of hiding it. Everybody knows anyway. So it&#8217;s time to come clean, just like the Klan hoods I&#8217;ve got spinning in the dryer as we speak. It&#8217;s time for the Neanderthal knuckle-dragging, open mouth-breathing, racist, sexist, Klan and Timothy McVeigh-loving Montana militia member gun nut conservative Republican religious zealot in me to be set free. Repression is a bitch, and so am I.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/07/redneck1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-183230 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/07/redneck1.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>I go to bed full of hate and wake up the same.  I hate blacks, Hispanics, gays, women, abortion doctors, liberals, Lefties, Democrats, you name &#8216;em, I hate &#8216;em if they&#8217;re not like me. I especially hate President Obama for being black. Just ask Janeane Garofalo, although being a Stalinist Socialist doesn&#8217;t help Obama&#8217;s cause any with me. Fact is, Obama <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/29/what-if-president-obama-were-a-republican/">could be a GOP</a> Michael Steele <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;q=michael+steele+uncle+tom&amp;fp=1&amp;cad=b">Uncle Tom</a>, and I&#8217;d still hate him even more than liberals hate Steele. Skin color trumps all. Thank God I was born the right color, or I&#8217;d probably kill myself. Wait, the hoods are dry! Be right back.<span id="more-182706"></span></p>
<p>Where was I? Oh, yeah. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065916/">Joe</a> is my hero and role model, Archie Bunker a distant second, Ted Nugent a close third. I have posters of all of them lining my walls, alongside such conservative Republican heroes as Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Adolf Hitler and Darth Vader.</p>
<p>I used to have one of Robert C. Byrd, but he lost me when he left the Klan and became the <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/record.xpd?id=111-s20090107-13&amp;person=300065">Conscience of the Senate</a>. Whatever that means. Didn&#8217;t know the Senate had one. But I never understood that. How can a white guy in good conscience leave the Klan? But I digress.</p>
<p>I have a mega-gun collection and a huge stockpile of hollow-point Teflon-coated ammo that&#8217;s just itching to be used. Haven&#8217;t decided yet on which abortion doctor I&#8217;m going to target next. Maybe I&#8217;ll just go down to the border and shoot brownskins for sport. dHs, sToP mE BefORe I KilL aGAiN!</p>
<p>And though I really hate homos like the Good Book says I should, I spend a lot of my free time cruising aiport rest rooms and tapping footsies like Larry Craig. If I&#8217;m lucky, I&#8217;ll get some real teabagging in. If not, I&#8217;ll try to get some in at my local Tea Party. Of course, my shotgun wedding <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid%27s_Tale#Plot_summary">Handmaid&#8217;s Tale</a> wife with the nice tooth doesn&#8217;t know about any of this. She&#8217;s usually home watching Jerry Falwell and the &#8220;700 Club&#8221; most of the day, and role-plays being Sarah Palin for me at night. Is that kinky or what? God, I love my wife! Would never be unfaithful to her with another woman.</p>
<p>As to being with other men, well, nobody in the GOP&#8217;s perfect. But it beats being a liberal! Except for the part where they get away with <a href="http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/chappaquiddick.htm">murder</a>, and we get stoned for <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/27/dems-launch-online-petition-rush-limbaugh/">jaywalking</a>.</p>
<p>Our favorite day is Sunday, named after our favorite radical fire-and-brimstone preacher <a href="http://www.billysunday.org/">Billy Sunday</a>. We sing hymns like &#8216;Onward Christian Soldiers&#8217; and wash ourselves clean in the Lord. Really necessary for me. A conservative Republican can get real dirty during the GOP workweek. Good thing my wife&#8217;s family is rich. Her toothless redneck dad gave us a beat up &#8216;78 Ford pickup with NASCAR and confederate flag bumper stickers and an Easy Rider rifle rack. Pride of the Bayou!</p>
<p>I want war. Lots of it. Want the economy to get a boost? Works every time! Bomb bomb bomb, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zoPgv_nYg">bomb bomb Iran</a>! Of course, in the interest of disclosure, I must confess to being a consultant for Blackwater, Halliburton, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/26/business/bin-laden-family-liquidates-holdings-with-carlyle-group.html">Carlyle Group</a> and Big Oil. And so what if we all staged 9/11? Made a ton of dough and dusted enough Islamist ragheads to fill the new Yankee Stadium, didn&#8217;t we?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/07/1046975.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-183234 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/07/1046975.jpg" alt="" width="331" height="201" /></a></p>
<p>Liberals are such pussies! And screw Global Warming! I WANT the world to burn! Only then can Jesus bring Paradise to earth. Speaking of which, where&#8217;s that landing strip for Christ in Yosemite National Park <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_G._Watt">James Watt</a> put on order? Days are gettin&#8217; short! And don&#8217;t forget, Jesus is white, and might is right. I&#8217;m sorry, what was the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3yw5JrowpA">problem with slavery</a> again?</p>
<p>Actually, I have to confess yet again. All the above is only what I aspire to be, i.e. the best GOPer Repug Nazi I can be. Like most mortals, I fall far short of my goals and dreams. I don&#8217;t even own a gun or hollow-point Teflon-coated ammo, but I support the Second Amendment, which is just as bad. May as well be a co-conspirator with Scott Roeder and James von Brunn.</p>
<p>I detest the corrupt Mengele-like <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/253801">genocidal</a> statutory <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/253726">rape-hiding</a> abortion industry that needs reform even more than Iran&#8217;s government, but support a woman&#8217;s LEGAL right to choose. It&#8217;s the law. Until and unless it&#8217;s overturned, what can you do? Shoot up clinics? Ya, in my Rethug dreams!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really not a bathroom footsie player, or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1n1gdAJiC4&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=F8F959EB33730C8B&amp;playnext=1&amp;playnext_from=PL&amp;index=13">like cock</a> and hairy ass in general. But gay marriage is legal in my home state of New Hampshire and I haven&#8217;t been sodomized yet, so live and let live. What can I say, I&#8217;m weak. And even though as a six-year veteran I believe in General Douglas MacArthur&#8217;s axiom that &#8220;no one hates war more than the soldier,&#8221; sometimes they just gotta be fought if civilization as we know it must survive. Be it a cold war with the Russians or hot ones with Hitler and bin Laden, the dirty deeds must be done. And without quarter until victory is complete.</p>
<p>Fight a war to the end or don&#8217;t fight it. You can&#8217;t do both. One way assures victory, the other defeat. The Art of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Ycw0d_Uow">Fighting Without Fighting</a> doesn&#8217;t work with the abu Musab al-Zarqawis of this world.</p>
<p>Worst of all? I was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Now THAT&#8217;S a confession! How can I ever face my conservative redneck Republican sister-banging moonshine-guzzling Zionist drinking buddies at the NRSC and AIPAC again?</p>
<p>I put it all on the table, people. Now, if only liberal Democrat lefties would freely admit to all the world that they&#8217;re all hypocritical, mentally disordered, drug-addled, tree-hugging, America-hating, nihilist anarchist recruiting office-bombing, terrorist and dictator-loving, tinfoil hat, limp-wrist pansy spoiled brat full-grown trust fund Stalinist toddlers who couldn&#8217;t get gangbanged by the Green Bay Packers hard or fast enough (practice squads included), maybe we&#8217;ll get somewhere in this country.</p>
<p>I seek progress, not perfection. We can all sit down together and have one big ideological circle jerk. Get it out of our systems, you know? Hey, we&#8217;re all Americans here! Confession is good for the soul. Or your metaphysical, Pagan or Wiccan existential plane of being, depending on your religious or non-religious proclivities and inclinations.</p>
<p>God, I feel so good now. Got it all out. Okay, let&#8217;s hear it in the comments section now. No holding back. That includes you, <a href="http://righteousbubba.blogspot.com/">Unrighteous Bubba</a> and <a href="http://www.cognitivedissident.org/">Cognitive Dissonant</a>. Tell us about all the kinky things you like to do with tinfoil, Vaseline and vacuum cleaners while watching sick online German porn in your mothers&#8217; basements <img src='http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://www.life.com/image/88156353/in-gallery/27022/adolf-hitler-up-close">Adolf Hitler</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;At this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased.&#8221; &#8211; NY Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/12/opinion/12krugman.html?partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss">columnist</a> Paul Krugman.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/krugmanbig1012_08409.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-163058" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/krugmanbig1012_08409.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="270" /></a><br />
Paul Krugman</p>
<p>Really sucks to be a conservative these days. I feel like I&#8217;m walking around with a big bulls-eye on my back. I know many of the Left, especially Keith Olbermann, Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, the New York Times editorial staff and all the pundits at HuffPo and KOS would find that statement hilariously ironic, given the recent shooting deaths of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas and security guard Steven T. Johns at the Holocaust Museum. Then again, they&#8217;re not the ones being branded en masse as co-conspirators in those murders. Conservatives are.<span id="more-158758"></span></p>
<p>As a bonus, the recent <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&amp;address=385x324298">arrest</a> of Jason Bush, a national executive director of the Minuteman anti-illegal immigration group, for brutal murders committed during a home invasion, is also fueling the fire of portraying Righties as inherently violent extremists-in-waiting. Yet <a href="http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79129907.html">Cambodians</a> and other ethnic gangs pull violent home invasions against the vulnerable in their enclaves, which have included brutal murders, on a <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=X1OaAq6HD1wC&amp;pg=PA102&amp;lpg=PA102&amp;dq=cambodian+home+invasions&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=7n44Q5UwHz&amp;sig=sfdePIrwcgGaz5Gs1zpdbBy6Dsc&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=8bU2StPjMeiwtgeV_fj4Dg&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=8">regular basis</a>. No one&#8217;s calling them a threat to the Republic, or branding all Cambodians as inherently violent. They are, in fact, its greatest victims.</p>
<p>Curiously absent in the above blanket indictments of conservatives were the facts that the Holocaust Museum shooter, James von Brunn, was a radical anti-Semite and anti-conservative with a long history of attacking the Right, even going so far as attempting to kidnap President Reagan&#8217;s entire Federal Reserve Board back in the 1980s. He was also an ardent proponent of the &#8216;9/11 was an inside job&#8217; tinfoil conspiracy theory. In that respect, he has a lot more in common with Dylan Avery and Rosie O&#8217;Donnell than Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck.</p>
<p>Also curiously absent was the recent shooting death of Pvt. William Long and wounding of another soldier outside a Little Rock recruiting center by an anti-military Islamic convert. Again, that kind of hatred and violence toward the military has far more in common with Code Pink than FOX News. It was not radical conservatives who <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/14/seditious-outrage-in-olympia-protesters-block-trucks-pour-concrete-on-train-tracks-to-stop-military-shipments/">poured concrete</a> on military rail lines in Olympia, Washington, nothing less than an act of sabotage during wartime. Nor was it a right wing extremist who <a href="http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2008/03/improvised-bomb/">set off a bomb</a> in front of a Times Square Army recruiting office.</p>
<p>Yet I do not hold all the aforementioned esteemed MSM mouthpieces, or the Left as a whole, responsible for those violent and destructive acts. Nor do I hold the entire American Left responsible for FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Daniel Andreas San Diego&#8217;s bombings in San Francisco. Or the violent acts of other eco-terrorists, like the <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/03/animal-rights-terrorists-firebomb-scientists-car-home-in-santa-cruz/">firebombings</a> of scientists&#8217; homes while they and their families were still inside, or the burning down of research labs, car dealerships and housing developments which have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. Or the highly destructive acts of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Liberation_Front">&#8216;elves&#8217;</a> of the Earth Liberation Front.</p>
<p>I also do not hold all left-leaning gay rights advocates responsible for the white powder mailings to Mormon churches by gay radicals. I do not hold the Left responsible for any those singular acts of violent left-wing extremist groups and individuals because of one simple fact: they all didn&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>Fact is, America has always been a land overflowing with nutjobs of all stripes. Sales of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook">Anarchist Cookbook</a> rival Betty Crocker&#8217;s. Some lone psychos have done incredible damage in all sorts of brutal and heinous ways. Lee Harvey Oswald. James Earl Ray. Timothy McVeigh. Theodore Kaczynski, aka the Unabomer. David Koresh. Andrew Cunanin. Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph. John Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakefield_Massacre">Michael McDermott</a>. Daniel Andreas <a href="http://http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/tersandiego_da.htm">San Diego</a>. And that&#8217;s not even counting serial killers like Ted Bundy, John Wanye Gacy and Henry Lee Lucas.</p>
<p>American law enforcement has their hands full. Always have. Sometimes they are successful in stopping extremists from attacking, as was the case with the Fort Dix Six and Bronx synagogue bombing <a href="http://newyork.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel09/nyfo052009.htm">plotters</a>, who also planned to shoot down military aircraft with Stinger missiles. In other not-so-fortunate circumstances law enforcement was left to deal with the violent aftermath, as was the case recently with the aforementioned Tiller, Holocaust Museum and Little Rock shootings.</p>
<p>There is, however, a distinct difference in America today regarding these lone nutjob killers that have plagued us throughout our history. They are now being politicized by the Left in much the same way Hitler manipulated the Reichstag Fire: to brand the entire mainstream conservative movement in the country as extremist threats to the Republic, requiring strong government intervention.</p>
<p>In other words, today we are all extremists.</p>
<p>Just ask Paul Krugman. Or <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/opinion/14rich.html?_r=1&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss">Frank Rich</a>. Or rest of the New York Times editorial staff in their &#8216;Hate Crimes and Extremist Politics&#8217; <a href="http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/hate-crimes-and-extremist-politics/">oped</a>. Want to see some real hate speech? Check out the comments sections of those Times posts. Those comments, as well as many other recent posts on left-wing blogs, reveal a stunning turnaround on the Left regarding political profiling, censorship, tapping phones and blanket monitoring of the Internet. I guess it all depends who&#8217;s being targeted. How quickly things change when it&#8217;s the Left running the show.</p>
<p>But all this is really nothing new. President Bill Clinton implied that Rush Limbaugh shared some culpability in the Oklahoma City bombings way back in 1995. Yet the degree to which the Mainstream Media and the Left is attacking the Right over these recent murders goes way beyond just implying. Those bloody corpses are being tossed right on the doorsteps of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O&#8217;Reilly, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and any other conservative pundit they can think of, as well as blanket condemnation and guilt by association of all their millions of listeners.</p>
<p>Noticeably absent also from this discussion of political extremism was the KILL BUSH <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2006/08/31/assassination-chic/">death cult</a> on the Left that screamed for the President&#8217;s blood and brutal murder for years. Or that most Lefties falsely accused President Bush of staging the worst terror attack in American history against his own citizens. I believe the subsequent bombings by Al Qaeda of London, Madrid, Bali, Iraq, Jordan, or any of the other 13,000-plus Islamist acts of terror since 9/11, put that subject to rest with all but the most dedicated conspiracy theorists. That is clearly Al Qaeda&#8217;s modus operandi, as it was way back in 1993 during the first attack on the WTC when Bill Clinton was President.</p>
<p>Also no mention of the Left&#8217;s David Dukes, the <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/253940">black supremacist</a>, hate-mongering Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/07/nyregion/07cnd-bicycle.html">bloodstained</a>, racebaiting and mayhem-inciting Rev. Al Sharpton. Or the Left&#8217;s unrepentant Timothy McVeighs, domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, now Leftie icons. You want to talk hateful, extremist, violence-inciting behavior and speech from the other side of the political spectrum? I guess not, huh, Paul? Rich? Keith? HuffPo? KOS?</p>
<p>See how it works? One eye open, one eye closed. Guess which eye is conveniently sewn shut.</p>
<p>Nothing new there, either. For decades the radical Left has engaged in, equivocated or looked the other way on egregious political behavior while at the same time painting all conservatives as extremists by, ironically, adopting extremist positions themselves. This political demonization of the conservative opposition has been flourishing on the Left under the Obama administration. Worse, that demonization has even been given credence and official sanction by such top government officials as David Axelrod and Janet Napolitano.</p>
<p>Now, as much as the Left howled about the Bushitler regime during the past eight years, when did Bush, Karl Rove or anyone else declare all Lefties a clear and present danger to the Republic, even when assassinating the President became a cultural fad in Leftie plays, books, movies, merchandising and art exhibits, egged on even by Air America&#8217;s Randy Rhodes simulation of President Bush&#8217;s assassination on the air?</p>
<p>Never mind how much the Left is freaking out now over James von Brunn. Can you imagine if the far right made a popular subculture out of assassinating President Obama to the degree Lefties did under President Bush? Or if Glenn Beck simulated the President&#8217;s assassination on the air, like Randy Rhodes did at Air America? They&#8217;d all be screaming for martial law and internment camps!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t help but wonder. Now that the Left controls the media and all branches of government, do they see their golden opportunity to shut down the hated Right once and for all in this country? Perhaps only now we are finding out the Left&#8217;s true definition of unity: singularity of political thought and opinion, and the silencing of all the annoying competing ideologies. What should be vigorous and thoughtful political debate on important issues that concern us all is fast becoming an ideological pogrom. Dissenting views are no longer opposing opinions. They are now thoughtcrime.</p>
<p>This is not right wing extremist paranoia. The track record speaks for itself.</p>
<p>Example. I don&#8217;t dislike President Obama because he&#8217;s a Socialist raiding the Treasury and nationalizing private industry faster than Hugo Chavez. Or for <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/11/obama-plans-americorps-inspector-general-scandal/">firing</a> an Inspector-General without notifying Congress, in violation in a law he himself signed off on. Or that his Justice Department under Eric Holder just gave the baton-wielding &#8220;you will soon be ruled by the black man, cracker&#8221; Black Panther &#8216;poll monitor&#8217; thugs a total pass, despite a default conviction and the assessment by Mr. Bartle Bull, a former Robert Kennedy <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/05/who_pressured_justice_to_drop.html">campaign manager</a> and prominent election observer of the Civil Rights era calling it &#8220;the worst voter intimidation I&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;</p>
<p>And he monitored elections in the South during the Jim Crow era. How bad is that?</p>
<p>No, I don&#8217;t dislike the President for any of that. I hate him just because he&#8217;s black. In fact, if you&#8217;re a conservative these days, you have no valid reason to oppose anything other than mindless right wing hate and bigotry. You have no valid reason to protest President Obama&#8217;s spending us into financial oblivion. You are a redneck racist teabagger, and most likely a rabble-rousing neo-Nazi or white supremacist, according to a memo passed around by liberal Democrats in Congress.</p>
<p>You have no valid moral, social or religious reasons to oppose gay marriage. You&#8217;re a Nazi and a homophobe. Or <a href="http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/16800-Nouveau-Jim-Crow/">Nouveau Jim Crow</a> KKK crackers, as the Boston Phoenix termed those opposing gay marriage. You have no valid reason to oppose Sonia Sotomayer. If you do, you&#8217;re a sexist and a racist, and you&#8217;d best tread carefully around her. Never mind anything she&#8217;s ever said or done, like upholding the blatantly discriminatory <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-_paP3lm4">Ricci decision</a> now before the US Supreme Court.</p>
<p>Never mind all that. She&#8217;s a wise Latina woman, and better than a white man. Watch your step!</p>
<p>You have no valid reason to oppose the millions of illegals flooding our country without procedure or proper criminal, medical or psychological screenings, as was done on Ellis Island, or support securing our borders as every other nation on earth does. You are a vile racist nationalist, just like that Minuteman killer Jason Bush. If you question the populist science of Global Warming that over 31,000 scientists <a href="http://www.nipccreport.org/">dispute</a>, or oppose any of the draconian taxes and regulations we are about to get slammed with via the Waxman-Markey bill, you are a heretic on the order of a Holocaust denier.</p>
<p>Never mind all the <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;q=record+low+temperatures+wide+2009&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=&amp;aqi=&amp;fp=q07gBlqSm5s">record low</a> temperatures worldwide, or the <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/22/save-the-planet-shut-up-a-politician/">discrediting</a> of data presented by GW gurus Hansen and Gore as either defective or outright <a href="http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/hansen_september_the_hottest_october/">fraudulent</a>. Or the political power and financial riches &#8216;green&#8217; proponents like Al Gore and GE&#8217;s Jeffrey Immelt stand to gain that would dwarf Big Oil profits. I&#8217;m not saying that we should pollute the earth until we all choke from it, as GW True Believers will no doubt accuse me of. I&#8217;m just saying. Rational debate of the subject on the Left is nonexistent. As it is with most every political subject under the sun.</p>
<p>Is it really any surprise Michael Savage was banned from Britain for what is essentially thoughtcrime, given that government&#8217;s extreme left-wing bent? How soon before he is banned here, along with every other conservative pundit on the radio? But this is the mindset of today&#8217;s Left. If you do not agree with their extreme positions on the issues, you are branded as the worst kind of extremist yourself, publicly and repeatedly. Just as we conservatives are being painted right now with the same bloody brush of killers who committed acts 99.99999% of us would never dream of. That is not reasoned debate. It is ideologically driven hate and tyranny of thought.</p>
<p>That mindset makes no distinction between violence of speech, i.e. heated political rhetoric, which is Constitutionally protected, and violence of action and criminal speech, i.e. incitement to violence, which is not. It is that twisted perspective that made the assassinations of President Bush and VP Dick Cheney <a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/11169">humorous</a> and <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2006/08/31/assassination-chic/">chic</a>, yet responds to even the mildest criticism of President Obama by Rush Limbaugh with unbridled rage, <a href="http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/democrats_launch_petition_against_rush_limbaugh/">petitions</a> in Congress and demands to shut Rush up by hook or by crook, be it the Orwellian <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/258504">Fairness Doctrine</a> or in the name of <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/18/obamas-fcc-diversity-engineers-strike-again/">diversity</a>.</p>
<p>Lefties commit the most egregious of slanders, yet take violent offense at every slight real or imagined. The Left even codifies that double standard by turning the language on its head in Orwellian fashion to make political evils appealing. Tolerance becomes a pretty name for <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=34687">exclusion</a>, diversity a lofty term for <a href="http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=30880">bigotry</a>. Censorship in the form of restrictive <a href="http://www.thefire.org/">speech codes</a> on college campuses around the country are enacted in the name of free speech.</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop at the language. Abuse of authority and political power has become SOP on the Left. Cynthia Dixon was <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/255063">fired</a> from her job as a college human resources director for her contrary Christian opinion on homosexuality, voiced in a local paper&#8217;s editorial page in response to a lefty lesbian faculty member&#8217;s pro-gay oped in the same.</p>
<p>The lesbian faculty member&#8217;s job, however, was never in danger, even after spewing incredibly vile vitriol at Dixon, with included the obligatory &#8216;racist bigot homophobe!&#8217; Ironically, Cynthia Dixon is African-American. Where&#8217;s the EEOC when you need them? Unfortunately. Ms. Dixon is the wrong shade of black, i.e. Christian conservative. For more information on that subject, ref Michael Steele and Clarence Thomas. See, they&#8217;re not REAL minorities. They&#8217;re all Uncle Toms, don&#8217;t you know.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry, who are the racists here again?</p>
<p>Harvard president Larry Summers was run out of his job on a rail for repeating a research-supported but politically incorrect scientific <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2112570/">opinion</a> on how men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s brains may work differently. So much for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas">Veritas</a>. But science is not a factor to the Left. Politics and ideology is all. State-employed climatologists were fired in <a href="http://www.heartland.org/policybot/results/21207/Associate_State_Climatologist_Fired_for_Exposing_Warming_Myths.html">Washington</a> and <a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/10665">Oregon</a> for not toeing the Global Warming line. Lord Christopher Monckton, who holds an opposing view to Al Gore&#8217;s on Global Warming, was <a href="http://opntalk.blogspot.com/2009/04/lord-christopher-monckton-barred-from.html">shut out</a> of Congressional hearings the day after he flew over from England to testify.</p>
<p>See, to the egalitarian Left, all opinions are equal. It&#8217;s just that some are more equal than others.</p>
<p>The Left&#8217;s championing of women&#8217;s rights is also a sham. They routinely and publicly degrade women who don&#8217;t fit their ideological template. They publish and fall all over themselves laughing at a &#8216;Top Ten Conservative Women I&#8217;d Like To Hate-Fuck&#8217; rape list and slander Sarah Palin without end, even joking about her being <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/260071">gang-raped</a>. Carrie Prejean is derided as a fascist bitch and a cunt for voicing the same opinion on marriage as President Obama and most American citizens.</p>
<p>You see the pattern that&#8217;s emerging here? When has anyone on the Left been fired for expressing pro-gay views?  When has Al Gore ever been shut out of speaking, as Lord Monckton was by liberal Democrats in Congress? Or attacked physically, as routinely happens to Ann Coulter and other conservative speakers on college campuses like clockwork?</p>
<p>If you want to talk extremism, left-wing extremists in America have been guilty of some very serious crimes in the last decade, as highlighted above. Again, you won&#8217;t find any of those crimes in the New York Times extremist hit list. No, let&#8217;s forget about all that left-wing extremist mayhem and hold talk radio and FOX News responsible for the acts of politically twisted or mentally disturbed individuals, as they seek to hold all mainstream conservatives responsible today for every violent act committed by lone psychos.</p>
<p>You want to blame Bill O&#8217;Reilly for Dr. Tiller&#8217;s death? What if President Bush had been assassinated by some lone leftie nutjob while he was President? Who would have been responsible? The assassin? Or everyone on the Left who encouraged Bush&#8217;s assassination with relish and glee? What about the white powder mailings to the Mormon Church by radical gay activists? Should we start FBI surveillance on the Prop H8 crowd because of the extremist acts of a few?</p>
<p>Should we clamp down on all American Muslims because of the violence domestic jihadis plotted or carried out, as with Little Rock, Fort Dix and the recent attempted bombing of a New York synagogue? Why is all the focus on the right side of the political spectrum, and all of the evils of the extreme Left being totally whitewashed or ignored today? Don&#8217;t answer, it&#8217;s a rhetorical question.</p>
<p>I have to tell you, people. I&#8217;m really starting to fear for this country. Left-wing demagogues like Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, Keith Olbermann, the New York Times editorial board, and all the others in the so-called mainstream media, branding all conservatives with the same bloody brushes as lone wolf psychos that have long been a problem in this country and always will be, not to mention all the shutting down of political discourse by inspiring fear, hatred and intimidation against the minority party, are doing a lot more damage to the fabric of this society, and American democracy itself, than a James von Brunn ever could with a .22 rifle.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a radical right wing extremist idea. Why don&#8217;t we leave the nutjobs to law enforcement, and try to engage in the honored American tradition of healthy and vigorous political discourse without enacting new Nuremburg decrees or shredding the Constitution? Isn&#8217;t championing freedom of speech and expression and human rights what the Left is all about? So they say?</p>
<p>It is long past time for the Left to live up that credo. Because if the firings, shutting off of debate, censorship bills now in Congress, and the relentless demonization of the political opposition continues relentlessly and without end, as it has for so many years now, I&#8217;m just liable to think the dividing line between mainstream liberalism and the hate-filled totalitarian left-wing crowd has been virtually erased. You got all that, Paul? Frank? Pinchy? Keith? Janet? David? KOS? HuffPo?</p>
<p>GROW UP! I&#8217;m sick of dealing with a bunch of full-grown screaming control-freak toddlers! The Right isn&#8217;t going anywhere. In fact, our stars are ascending. FOX News and conservative blogs are putting the MSM out of business. And there&#8217;s a huge amount of discontent across the political spectrum over liberal Democrat policies since the Left took power.</p>
<p>The 2010 elections are starting to look a lot like 1994&#8217;s. And tell the truth, guys. Doesn&#8217;t that scare the hell out of you all a lot more than one or two lone shooters? And don&#8217;t just call me a right wing extremist. Let&#8217;s talk about the issues. I&#8217;m a reasonable guy. Don&#8217;t even own a gun. But just because I support the Second Amendment doesn&#8217;t make me a gun nut. I support it because it&#8217;s a Constitutional right. See how easy rational debate works? You all ought to try it sometime.</p>
<p>Last word. I opposed President Obama&#8217;s candidacy from the start. I disliked his polices, and I especially disliked his associations with real bomb-throwing extremists like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and racial hatemongers like Rev. Wright. I spoke out on blogs like this for a year against candidate Obama, and everything he and liberal Democrats stood for.</p>
<p>Yet shortly after Obama was elected President in November, I noticed a security vulnerability that fell within my area of expertise and called the Secret Service right away. Fortunately, they knew all about it. See, despite my extreme distaste for President Obama&#8217;s policies and associations, the American people spoke loud and clear last November. Barack Obama is now President of the United States.</p>
<p>As such, he represents a hallowed tradition of political stability and continuity of a government and most benevolent political system that I hold sacred, and is the envy of much of the world. I defended that system for six years in uniform, and would defend it again if need be. How ironic I must vigorously defend it today against those who profess to be its greatest champions.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a right wing extremist for you, Lefties. Oh, and by the way, I and other conservatives like David Horowitz have <a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjQyOTgxM2M0YWMxOTdhZDcwMzlmMDU1ZGYxNzFkMmQ=">spoken out</a> <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/270140">loudly</a> against the extremists in our ranks. Where was the condemnation of unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers on the day after 9/11, when he said in the New York Times that he hadn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/260881">done enough</a>? Why is he <a href="http://www.billayers.org/">revered</a> instead of reviled? Don&#8217;t answer, it&#8217;s a <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/opinion/Che-the-revolutionary-hero-Ruthless.4929683.jp">rhetorical</a> <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/03/huffington-post-jeremiah-wright-speaks.html">question</a>. But it does make me wonder who the real extremists are here.</p>
<p>After all, you don&#8217;t see the right <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892255/">glorifying</a> politically-motivated <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/05/the-victims-of-che-guevara/">mass murderers</a>. Hmm. Curious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my Big Hollywood <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/27/from-fourth-estate-to-fourth-branch-of-government/">post</a> of April 27th, I decried the media&#8217;s acting as a cheerleading fourth branch of government, in which the MSM has not only assumed a Dear Leader-like reverence and awe for our new president, but attacks any and all critics with slander, ridicule, and even intimidation, and discounts any real concerns by the public as right wing extremist rabble-rousing and racism.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/olbermann070416_3_560.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-121086 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/olbermann070416_3_560-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Given my love of true reporting and Woodward and Bernstein-like investigative journalism, which is really nowhere to be found in this Messianic Media Age of Obama, it was a very depressing piece to write. But after the recent flyover of New York City by Air Force One and F-16 fighter jets, which sent half of the Big Apple fleeing for their lives, it occurred to me.</p>
<p>How would the Left report the news if Obama were a Republican, i.e. an <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;q=michael+steele+uncle+tom&amp;fp=aaV-kzfDWBk">Uncle Tom</a>, as many on the Left <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/tslagle/2009/04/22/re-janeane-garofalo-is-crap/">call</a> now-GOP Chairman Michael Steele? Eureka! That&#8217;s it! See, it&#8217;s one thing for me to point out the obvious, as I did in my media slam yesterday. But what if we walked GOP President Obama&#8217;s media coverage through the mirror darkly, as was SOP for President Bush?</p>
<p>NOW we&#8217;re gonna have some fun!<span id="more-118906"></span></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with MSNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Countdown&#8217; with Keith Olbermann, on Republican President Obama&#8217;s electoral landslide victory in November, and his 96% sweeping of the black vote.</p>
<p>KO: &#8220;It would seem the sinister and morally bankrupt Republican ploy of taking the White House with a totally inexperienced and faux minority candidate has been the most resounding political success for the GOP since the <a href="http://worldatwar.net/event/reichstagsbrand/">Reichstag Fire</a>. Could African-Americans not act more self-destructively than in their rush to the polls to elect this Republican wolf in Martin Luther King clothing?</p>
<p>&#8220;Do they want to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3yw5JrowpA">go back</a> to slavery? For this abomination and slap in the face of freedom-loving Americans everywhere, and which has condemned this nation to yet another four endless years of war and jingoistic right wing fascism, I hereby declare every African-American voter who pulled the lever for this Republican Omar Bashir as the Worst Person in the World.&#8221;</p>
<p>Next up? Susan Roesgen of CNN, wandering through the crowd at a Democratic Chicago Tea Party.</p>
<p>SR, pointing to a protester wearing an Obama as Hitler/Satan <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/node/3586">mask</a>: &#8220;Over here, we have a President Obama look-alike.&#8221; SR turns to a man in top hat holding a child. &#8220;What is your issue with the President, sir?&#8221; MAN: &#8220;It&#8217;s bad enough President Bush put us on the verge of bankruptcy. It appears the ObamaHitler is intent on finishing the job.&#8221;</p>
<p>SR: &#8220;Do you really believe President Obama when he tells us the City of Chicago will be getting fifty billion in new aid?&#8221; A protester wearing a KILL OBAMA tee shirt interjects: &#8220;No way! This is all for his and Darth Biden&#8217;s warmongering lobbyist friends in Halliburton and Blackwater! We&#8217;ll never see a dime of that money! KILL OBAMA! KILL BIDEN!&#8221;</p>
<p>Death chants rise in unison from the crowd. SR turns to the camera, smiling. &#8220;There you have it.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN&#8217;s Wolf Blitzer, on Iranian hostage Roxana Saberi.</p>
<p>WB: &#8220;It has now been nearly three months since Roxana Saberi was arrested in Iran, allegedly for buying a bottle of wine, and with no concrete action to free her by this administration. Even worse, since Ms. Saberi&#8217;s kangaroo court conviction on trumped-up charges of espionage, which is as common for reporters in Iran as citations for jaywalking are here, she has gone on a hunger strike, and her condition is worsening by the day.</p>
<p>&#8220;I cannot help but be reminded of murdered Iranian-Canadian journalist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahra_Kazemi">Ziba Kazemi</a>, who was beaten, flogged, raped, her fingernails pulled and her skull fractured in Evin prison, ironically for the crime of taking pictures of protesters outside Evin. How many more journalists have to come out of Iran in body bags before this President will act?&#8221;</p>
<p>Markos Moulitsas of Daily KOS, on Air Force One&#8217;s low flyover of New York City with F-16 escort.</p>
<p>KOS: &#8220;The scariest thing for me out of this whole episode is how easily the ObamaHitler managed to arrange a Boeing 747 to fly low over New York City with nobody knowing, and I mean nobody! Is it really much of stretch to believe now that the BusHitler couldn&#8217;t have arranged the same thing on 9/11 with remotely-controlled commercial airliners?</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t help but wonder. Was this a test run? And why this time? To accelerate the rush to war with Iran? The only questions that remain for me are these: When? And which American city does the ObamaHitler and his Halliburton buddies plan to turn into a bombed-out crater next, in order to get another round of war profiteering off to a Grand Old Start? Call me a tinfoil hat paranoid NOW! I dare you! I double-dare you!</p>
<p>&#8220;The ObamaHitler. Brand new color. Same old warmongering right wing fascism. Screw &#8216;em!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/al_franken.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-121094 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/al_franken-261x300.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Al Franken, America&#8217;s most popular radio talk show host, on President Obama&#8217;s political <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19596.html">targeting</a> of him from the White House itself.</p>
<p>AF: &#8220;It would seem President Obama and his fawning Reichminister, Rahm Emmanuel, don&#8217;t like my rousing nationwide success in calling them out for who they really are. This attempt to target me personally, a private citizen, from the White House, with all its authority and power, puts on display for all to see that the BusHitler&#8217;s self-groomed replacement&#8217;s ambitions exceeds even that of Darth Rove and his fascist leash-holder.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only did that Hitler-like persecution of me personally not work, it has backfired badly. My nationwide listener numbers on Air America are skyrocketing. I suppose it&#8217;s time now to implement the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which President Obama&#8217;s Reichstag-like stooges in Congress are pushing at this very moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;I find it particularly disturbing that Republican House Speaker John Boner, spearheading this shredding of the Constitution, finds no fault with FIX News, Goon Beck, Shill O&#8217;Reilly or Bum Rush Limbaugh, all of whom ragged us as ballsuckers during our Tea Parties and implied we would become violent, but finds plenty wrong with NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and especially my Air America. Talk about Brownshirts calling the kettle black!</p>
<p>&#8220;See you in the Gulag, Keith! The Countdown is on!&#8221;</p>
<p>Michael Moore, on the <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/19/when-dissent-becomes-unpatriotic/">controversial</a> DHS Left Wing Extremism Report and DHS Fusion Centers.</p>
<p>MM: &#8220;After reading this incredibly vague and exceptionally broad DHS report on Left Wing Extremism, can anyone really say this isn&#8217;t an attempt by the Obama Administration and the Republicans to silence dissent in this country once and for all? Individuals who protest the war, support abortion, favor tougher gun laws, the rights of undocumented immigrants, even those who oppose the federal government itself, are called out as potential terrorists!</p>
<p>&#8220;My next anti-war film could land me in jail! I&#8217;m sorry, who are the extremists here again?</p>
<p>&#8220;Even the DHS Civil Liberties Division objected to the broad language of the report, which Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://www.auschwitz.dk/Himmler.htm">Himmler</a>-like DHS Secretary Janet Nazipolitano seemed to be in a hurry to rush out the door, and just in time for our nationwide protests. Coincidence? I think not. It is quite clear to me what this report says: &#8220;You are either with us, or you&#8217;re a terrorist.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No surprise there. And how ironic, considering the right wing extremists in the Hitlerite Obama regime are the real terrorists. Today&#8217;s Grand Old Party is not the party of Lincoln. It is the party of Hitler and Mussolini. Given the present occupier of the Oval Office, perhaps Idi Amin would be a better analogy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;By the way, you may want to look into DHS Oberfuhrer Nazipolitano&#8217;s so-called fusion centers. There are seventy of them around the country now. One fusion center in Virginia <a href="http://www.aclu.org/privacy/gen/39333prs20090406.html">declared</a> all of the state&#8217;s universities &#8216;nodes for radicalization.&#8217; Another in Texas <a href="http://www.texasobserver.org/article.php?aid=3003">warned</a> about the terrorist threat from the &#8216;International Far Left.&#8217; And Nazipolitano <a href="http://www.texasobserver.org/article.php?aid=3003">calls them</a> &#8216;the wave of the future.&#8217; This nationwide politically-motivated DHS network is called &#8216;The National Fusion Center Coordination Group.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone else thinking <a href="http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?ModuleId=10005130">Einsatzgruppen</a> besides me? That&#8217;s what Hitler called his Special Action Groups. Who&#8217;s going to head those up? Obama&#8217;s radical right wing extremist preacher Jeremiah Wright? Or his Timothy McVeigh-like pal Bill Ayers, who knows a few things about throwing bombs and killing innocents? You DO see where all this is going, don&#8217;t you, people? Should be as plain as the Swastika flag flying over the ObamaHitler White House!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://michellemalkin.com/category/unhinged/assassination-chic/">OBAMA ASSASSINATION CHIC</a></p>
<p>The Guardian/UK&#8217;s Charlie Brooker, just <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=EB6208C5-C85D-46A3-8E97-419E5DC273CA">prior to</a> President Obama&#8217;s GOP landslide.</p>
<p>&#8220;On November 4, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Obama loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/28/mlk.ray.case/index.html">James Earl Ray</a> &#8211; where are you now that we need you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Protest <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/03/19/assassination-chic-bush-the-only-dope-worth-shooting/">sign</a>: &#8220;Obama. The only dope worth shooting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Air America&#8217;s Randy Rhodes <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2005/04/27/air-americas-assassination-chic/">on the air</a>, likening President Obama to Freddie Corleone.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do they let black people into the Mafia? No? Well, I think they ought to make an exception for President Obama. At least long enough to take him out on a boat like Freddie Corleone and phuw!&#8221; (GUNSHOT)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/">Democratic Underground</a>, on the current Swine Flu pandemic.</p>
<p>&#8220;Like Bush intentionally withholding aid from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in order to foment misery and violence, the ObamaHitler seems content to sit back and let this flu pandemic rage unabated. DHS Secretary Nazipolitano, who is such an idiot she doesn&#8217;t even know <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/04/21/janet-napolitano-said-what/">border law</a>, has yet to close that same border in order to stem the flow of possibly infected Mexican nationals, even though clusters have now appeared as far north of the border as Queens, NY.</p>
<p>&#8220;Is this criminal negligence and malfeasance also intentional? Like Obama&#8217;s Republican lackeys in Congress rejecting nine hundred million in new flu pandemic funding? Who stands to suffer the most? I have no doubt the rich, and all of the ObamaHitler&#8217;s good buddies in Washington, will get the best treatment they possibly can. Just as they did lining up for Cipro during the BusHitler&#8217;s black bag job anthrax attack on the mail system, which Der Fuhrer staged in order to invade Iraq.</p>
<p>&#8220;But what of inner city minorities, who stand to suffer and die the most should this pandemic explode beyond control? Makes me wonder if they knew ahead of their flu pandemic funding vote that this would happen. Or worse, even started the epidemic themselves by injecting illegal aliens being deported to Mexico. Why else would Army samples go <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/22/missing.virus.sample/index.html">missing</a>?</p>
<p>&#8220;If true, not only does this make our new Republican &#8216;multicultural&#8217; Fuhrer in Washington a mass murderer, it makes him the greatest race traitor of all time. He would be guilty of nothing less than genocide. Just like his mentor, idol and BFF Omar Bashir in Sudan. Welcome to the American Darfur, courtesy of the ObamaHitler. Feeling better now?&#8221;</p>
<p>The moral of the story? Despite how rough of a ride it has been at times for President Obama, Democrat, he can thank God and his lucky stars he is not a Republican.</p>
<p>Now ask youself. Why is that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You all know the drill. The recent vague and <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/04/16/janet-napolitanos-extremist-makeover-tour/">controversial</a> DHS report on right-wing extremism, the <a href="http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf">cover</a> of which DHS might just as well have put on the Republican Party platform. The endless puerile teabagging <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/04/16/what-is-the-difference-between-anderson-cooper-and-matt-taibbi/">jokes</a> from the fourth estate&#8217;s finest, giggling into their <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Speak%20into%20the%20mic">microphones</a> like ten-year-olds who just found a tittie mag.</p>
<p>CNN reporter Susan Roesgen even called a Tea Party &#8220;anti-government and anti-CNN&#8221; when her pro-government handout <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3fvNhdoc0">rant</a> to a Tea Partier was rudely interrupted. Ms. Roesgen took particular offense at a sign of Obama with a Hitler moustache. &#8220;Why be so hard on the President of the United States though with such an offensive message?&#8221; the offended Ms. Roesgen asked.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/teapartylogo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-109578 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/teapartylogo-256x300.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Yet in 2006, Ms. Roesgen was perfectly comfortable with <a href="http://spectator.org/blog/2009/04/16/flashback-in-2006-cnns-roesgen">this</a> Satan/Hitler Bush mask, jokingly calling it a Bush &#8216;look-alike.&#8217; I guess it all depends on which POTUS you&#8217;re hard on. Right, Suzie?</p>
<p>And therein lies the rub. Dissent was SO patriotic not so long ago, wasn&#8217;t it? Dissent against war, dissent against torture, dissent against wiretapping, dissent against Gitmo, dissent against rendition, dissent against government abuse of power. In fact, now-Secretary of State Clinton was quite vocal on the matter back in the <a href="http://rightinaleftworld.blogspot.com/2009/03/thou-shalt-not-dissent.html">day</a>:<span id="more-108110"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. And we should stand up and say we are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Right On, Hillary! You Go, Girl! Why is that all different now? I thought she said <em>any</em> administration. Heard plenty of cheers then. Only jeers now. Why is that? Wouldn&#8217;t be a double standard, would it?</p>
<p>Example. If President Bush and Karl Rove targeted private citizens like Al Franken and Michael Moore with the power, authority, consent and political weight of the White House, the death camp talk from the Left wouldn&#8217;t have been far behind. It never was anyway, but especially in that case. There&#8217;d certainly be plenty of &#8216;left wing chatter&#8217; on the Internet rehashing Nixon&#8217;s Enemies&#8217; List.</p>
<p>Yet President Obama and Rahm Emmanuel did that very same <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19596.html">thing</a> to Rush Limbaugh. Yawn. And now we find that NSA intercepts of Americans have <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/nsa-intercepts-exceed-lim_n_187522.html">skyrocketed</a> in recent months under the Obama Administration, and well beyond limits set by Congress. The NSA called it &#8220;an over-collection of domestic communications in America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Over-collection on whom, exactly? DHS-declared extremist threats? Or &#8216;right wing chatter&#8217;? Funny. I never saw the term &#8216;left wing chatter&#8217; used in any government report. In fact, the term &#8216;left wing chatter&#8217; isn&#8217;t even in the DHS <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/Leftwing_Extremist_Threat.pdf">report</a> on possible left wing cyber attacks! How bad is that? In fact, the only other place I&#8217;ve seen that term used by the government is for &#8216;chatter&#8217; on Al Qaeda websites.</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;m going to hear it from Lefties now: &#8220;See how we felt under the BusHitler?&#8221; Um, no, I don&#8217;t. What weren&#8217;t you free to say? That Bush engineered 9/11 and murdered 3000 innocent civilians to start a war? That you wanted Bush and Cheney dead? That you wanted the Iraq War to fail? We can&#8217;t even say we want Obama to fail without it being a federal case with talk of censorship!</p>
<p>Actually, more than <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Congressional+democrats+stop+rush+petition&amp;btnG=Search">talk</a>.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t be the first <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301656,00.html">time</a>. What have we come to, when freedom-championing Liberal Democrats pass petitions around in Congress to shut up the most popular radio talk show host in America? One thing it definitely says: The Old Patriotism is <a href="http://victoryshirt.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=101">out</a>, and the New Patriotism is <a href="http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/">in</a>.</p>
<p>Talk of shutting up Rush, even from the White House. Sorry. We had to deal with Air America, KOS and HuffPo. Your turn. And I really hate sore winners who try to change the rules in mid-game. Like issuing a national security report that covers the opposition party&#8217;s entire platform, and is so vague we can even be snitched out to the police for political thought. Sound <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtcrime">familiar</a>?</p>
<p>This DHS report doesn&#8217;t quell paranoia. It fuels it. And it ain&#8217;t paranoia when every law enforcement agency in the country now has DHS guidelines on Right Wing Extremism so broad,  individuals who oppose abortion, illegal immigration, even the federal government itself, are suspect.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one thing for Hillary Clinton to call us a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy out of spite. Quite another for the Department of Homeland Security to do so officially on paper.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m getting a very creepy feeling, people. It&#8217;s like the government, the press, and the freedom-championing American Left, who now rule supreme, see their big chance and are now looking to silence the Right once and for all through ridicule, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=all+Republicans+are+racist&amp;btnG=Google+Search">demonization</a>, even intimidation through official government reports to law enforcement.</p>
<p>Unnamed individuals with views that don&#8217;t adhere to the present government&#8217;s on abortion, illegal immigration, even the Second and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution, are called out in the DHS report. Makes me wonder who the real extremists are here.</p>
<p>In short, dissent is now unpatriotic. Tea Parties are being falsely linked to White Supremacy and neo-Nazi groups by both the <a href="http://digg.com/politics/Militias_secessionists_neo_Nazi_s_GOP_embrace_Tea_Party_s">press</a> and <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/04/dem-leaders-say-tea-party-protesters.html">Members</a> of Congress. Public demonstrations against high taxes and spending, which reporters ridicule and call &#8216;anti-government.&#8217; A member of the press calling a peaceful public protest &#8216;anti-government&#8217; while spouting government policy?</p>
<p>What have we come to as a nation?</p>
<p>Good question. I&#8217;m keeping my eyes peeled, people. You should too. For any more government issue insanity like DHS&#8217; Right Wing Extremism report which, though not as severe as Hitler&#8217;s Night and Fog <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_Fog_Decree">Decree</a>, is just about as broad. Or the Fairness Doctrine, which is less fairness and more doctrine, and could even regulate <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/258504">web</a> content. Just like Iran and China do. Feeling better now?</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s just on top of their usual insanity.</p>
<p>I can at least take comfort that the outrageous DHS report on Right Wing Extremism has made strange bedfellows of Michelle Malkin <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/nationalaffairs/index.php/2009/04/14/malkin-and-me/">and</a> Rolling Stone. Hope Springs Eternal. And to all reasonable Lefties everywhere (I know there are a few), please stop asking us why we weren&#8217;t protesting this stuff for eight years, and just look at why the hell we&#8217;re protesting it now, okay?</p>
<p>Our bad! You happy? Actually, I better watch it now. I already have one strike against me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a Vet, you see. I could go either way.</p>
<p>Actually, I will go one step further. President Obama, liberal Democrats and non-extremist left wingers (I know there are a few) need to grow much thicker skins politically, before they start drifting into dangerous political waters themselves. Bush didn&#8217;t give one hoot about Michael Moore, Al Franken or Air America, even when Randy Rhodes simulated his assassination on the air.</p>
<p>Yet Rush seems as dug under the collar of President Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, liberal Democrats and Lefties as a bloodthirsty tick. Sorry, but Bush had his ticks, too. They all did. Every last POTUS there ever was. Goes with the territory. It&#8217;s called free speech and democracy. Deal with it.</p>
<p>You have a lot more important business to attend to than Rush Limbaugh and Tea Parties. Besides, even if you did manage to get Rush off the air, think of all the tax revenue you&#8217;d lose. Not very smart.</p>
<p>And could sombody please <a href="http://www.cnn.com/feedback/">tell</a> CNN&#8217;s Susan Roesgen to either report the news or get the hell off the air? We already know what the government&#8217;s position is. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re OUT there!</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Maas">Peter Maas</a> you ain&#8217;t, lady.</p>
<p>THIS JUST IN: Radio talk show nuke Michael Savage, along with the Thomas Moore Law Center, is <a href="http://www.thomasmore.org/qry/page.taf?id=19">suing</a> DHS for civil liberties violations over the RWE report. They may have grounds. The DHS Civil Liberties Division objected to the broad language of the RWE report, but DHS issued it over their objections anyway. How&#8217;s THAT for our stalwarts of liberty guarding the gates?</p>
<p>Starting to look more like foxes in a chicken coop. I hope the heat keeps pouring on President Obama and Janet Napolitano until she has to resign. She&#8217;s earned that heat. Unlike those she so broadly called out in her official report.</p>
<p>Speaking of heat, here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dhs.gov/xutil/contactus.shtm">DHS</a>. Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/">White House</a>. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml">Congress</a>.</p>
<p>Credit where credit is due. This is from an ACLU <a href="http://blog.aclu.org/2009/04/16/soon-well-all-be-radicals/">blog</a>. Take friends where we can get &#8216;em.</p>
<p>&#8220;If these &#8220;intelligence&#8221; reports described recent crimes and the people who perpetrated them, there would be little problem from a civil rights perspective, and it could actually be helpful to the average police officer.</p>
<p>&#8216;Instead, they have followed a &#8220;radicalization&#8221; theory popularized by the <a href="http://www.nypdshield.org/public/SiteFiles/documents/NYPD_Report-Radicalization_in_the_West.pdf">NYPD</a> (PDF). That theory postulates that there is a &#8220;path&#8221; to terrorism that includes the adoption of certain beliefs, and political, religious, or social activism is viewed as another step toward violence.</p>
<p>&#8216;Actual empirical studies of terrorism conducted in the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/aug/20/uksecurity.terrorism?gusrc=rss&amp;feed=users">Netherlands and Britain</a> refute this theory, but the idea that hard-to-find terrorists can be caught by spying on easy-to-find activists appears too hard to resist to U.S. law enforcement.&#8221;</p>
<p>On that note, you all need to know about regional DHS <a href="http://www.dhs.gov/xinfoshare/programs/gc_1156877184684.shtm">Fusion Centers</a>. There&#8217;s 58 of them around the country. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;as_q=DHS+fusion+centers&amp;as_epq=&amp;as_oq=&amp;as_eq=&amp;num=100&amp;lr=&amp;as_filetype=&amp;ft=i&amp;as_sitesearch=&amp;as_qdr=m&amp;as_rights=&amp;as_occt=any&amp;cr=&amp;as_nlo=&amp;as_nhi=&amp;safe=images">Update</a>: 70. Many are privately run. They were originally set up by DHS after 9/11 as local anti-terrorism information processing centers, but there are <a href="http://www.texasobserver.org/article.php?aid=3003">signs</a> now they&#8217;re <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/23/fusion-centers-expand-criteria-identify-militia-members/">being</a> politicized well <a href="http://www.aclu.org/privacy/gen/39333prs20090406.html">beyond</a> that scope. Just like DHS with their report. And with our tax dollars. $250 million worth.</p>
<p>Feeling good yet? If not, how about this nugget from Big Janet herself, who called fusion centers, many of them operated privately through grants, &#8220;the centerpiece of state, local, and federal intelligence-sharing for the future.” For what right now look like political profiling centers. Great.</p>
<p>Former FBI agent Mike German, now with the ACLU, also has a different take than Big Jan.</p>
<p>“We’ve built this network, and nobody’s policing it,” says Mike German, a former FBI agent now with the ACLU. “Nobody knows exactly what each fusion center is doing. &#8230; Even the best fusion centers operate under a cloak of secrecy.” Part of the problem, German says, is that fusion centers fall in a “no-man’s-land” between federal and state governments.</p>
<p>&#8216;Such ambiguity can lead fusion centers to pick and choose which rules apply to them. A 2007 study by the Government Accountability Office found that one-third of all fusion centers reported a lack of guidance on the proper handling of information, including privacy and civil-liberties concerns.&#8217;</p>
<p>Gives the term fusion new meaning. Well, an <a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Borg">old one</a>, actually. FYI. Need To Know. It all figures in.</p>
<p>Good Night and Good Luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TO:</strong> ALL LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES</p>
<p><strong>FM:</strong> DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY</p>
<p><strong>SUBJ:</strong> NATIONWIDE ALERT &#8211; KNOW RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS BY THEIR BUMPER STICKERS!</p>
<p>Per the Guidelines of the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s recent report, all units and law enforcement agencies are notified to be on the lookout (BOLO) for potential Right-Wing Extremists. Since the report&#8217;s guidelines are exceedingly general and non-specific, we here at DHS will provide the necessary details in order for state and local LE officials to round up the usual suspects.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/vvvv.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106918" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/04/vvvv-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="188" /></a><br />
Usual Suspect</p>
<p>First, Right-Wing Extremists are often known to display their radical sympathies on bumper stickers. This could be as simple a matter as a Confederate flag on a pickup truck, but often involves stated extremist messages like ABORTION KILLS, BABIES ARE NOT SPARE PARTS (they are), and ADOPTION: THE CARING OPTION (it isn&#8217;t, spare parts is).</p>
<p>In this instance, it is best to keep a safe distance and follow the unsub&#8217;s vehicle, to where fellow right-wing extremists of like mind are no doubt plotting their next abortion clinic massacre.<span id="more-106622"></span></p>
<p>In the case of bumper stickers like I&#8217;D RATHER BE TRIED BY TWELVE THAN CARRIED BY SIX, or I&#8217;LL GIVE YOU MY GUN WHEN YOU TAKE IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS, once again, keep a safe distance and follow the unsub&#8217;s vehicle to the Timothy McVeigh-influenced militia group of which they are a part.</p>
<p>If you see bumper stickers such as WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, AMNESTY SUCKS or SPEAK ENGLISH, these messages indicate strong nationalist, and most likely racist, tendencies of the unsubs driving these vehicles.</p>
<p>Stop the vehicle and ask the driver just what exactly he/she meant by it. On the off-chance the driver is an illegal alien, and the bumper sticker a remnant of its past right-wing extremist owner, follow standard procedure and give the undocumented immigrant a pass, no questions asked.</p>
<p>Some Right-Wing Extremist bumper stickers indicate hostility toward the Federal Government, and even the Obamamessiah himself. It is these radicals who represent the most clear and present danger to our Republic, as well as to law enforcement officers themselves. Let&#8217;s face it. If they don&#8217;t love Washington, you think they care about cops?</p>
<p>Such bumper messages as TIME FOR A TEA PARTY, DON&#8217;T TAX ME, BRO, PORKULUS PIG, DON&#8217;T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR McCAIN, or other similar anti-government and anti-Messiah messages, should be a red flag to all LE officers nationwide. Approach with extreme caution. Deadly Force is authorized. It may have taken us a few days to authorize the killing of pirates, but we know who the real enemies of America are here. You have Carte Blanche.</p>
<p>Should you encounter any bumper stickers indicating military service, unit designation, or general pro-military sympathies, flip a coin. They could go either way.</p>
<p>Though you may encounter some extremist-appearing bumper stickers like KILL BUSH, NO BLOOD FOR OIL, WHO WOULD JESUS TORTURE, WAR IS NOT PRO-LIFE, LA RAZA, BILL AYERS IS THE BOMB or bumper stickers that bear the <a href="http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/20070621/aztlan_map.jpg">Aztlan</a> or &#8216;reconquista&#8217; emblem, ignore them.</p>
<p>Those aren&#8217;t the droids we&#8217;re looking for.</p>
