Why Is Everyone Going All Domestic Military Violence?

September 30, 2009 / 10:45 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Good grief! I go to Memeorandum and see looney tunes from across the spectrum talking about war–not with Afghanistan or Iran–but war with ourselves.

A coup.

A dictatorship.

Is there a rhetorical war? Yes. Are the leftists intent on “remaking America” blisteringly angry? Yes. Are the Silent Majority stirred? Yes.

Does that mean people are going to scoop up their arms and aim for dirty hippies or dudes in Brooks Brothers suits (both most likely liberals, but let’s just play along with stereotypes for a minute)? Please. As troubled as America may be economically, as difficult as life might be for people and businesses, it seems that we have a long way to go before civil war, dictatorship or coups occur.

People need to chill.

    I am not overstating the fact that if Obamacare and or CapNtax pass. there will be a revolution.
    Not a rhetorical one, a real one. There should be, if these politicians choose to govern against the will of the people and destroy what our fathers, brothers, mothers and sisters have and are fighting and dying for. WE MUST STOP THEM. By election time it will be too late.

    Thank you for writing this piece. The paranoia is really “out there” right now. People are claiming now that Obama is going to start “randomly throwing people in jail this spring”. I agree with you, people need to chill out. Our congress, such as it is, will not allow this sorry excuse for a leader to go all “Chavez” on us. All this fear-mongering is getting tiresome. That is all.

    I’m putting words into Dr. Sanity’s mouth with regards to this specific instance, but I believe she’d observe that it is just yet more libtard projection, a subject she’s written extensively on.

    They are seeing all their high-flying ideas auger in of late, and it’s got them all riled up and PO’d.

    They’re angry as hell — all this time waiting for The One to come to power, and now it’s all falling apart so quickly!!

    …Someone left the cake out in the rain
    I don’t think that I can take it
    ’cause it took so long to bake it
    and I’ll never have that recipe again
    Oh, nooo! Ohhhhhh, Noooooo…!

    And, HEY — THEY clearly aren’t the angry ones, they’re TOO GOOD a sort to ever actually be angry!!

    So it must be the Right which is angry at them!! They’re just responding to all that anger as best they can!!

    They want to have a revolution, you see, so they don’t have to actually deal with the messy idea of actually convincing people that they are right. I mean, hey, they already DID that when they got Obama elected!?!?! The notion that it’s a continuing process, that you have to KEEP convincing others that you are right is just too much work.

    And that means that there must be some big, spectacular fight brewing… but no, THE LEFT wouldn’t be the ones to cause it, NOOOO.

    It can only be those dull-witted neanderthal gun-wielding neofascist rethuglican rednecks who want to fight about it!!

    Kimberly, trust not Congress. Trust not the bureacracy.

    Trust that the military will never allow them to execute any sort of coup of the sort you suggest.

    The libtards control the media, they control the schools, but they don’t have the power to actually put any of it into effect without the military. And they just don’t have the capacity to actually take that group over.

    It’s past time we “dissolve the political bands” tying us to a government which began shredding the constitution long ago.

    Ummm, let’s talk about this rationally. We live in a Democratic Republic. We have the ability to change this congress in 2010 by using the ballot box. We DO NOT have to resort to violence of ANY kind. We don’t have soldiers walking down the street and we don’t have a dictatorship taking over. We have a man in the White House who is a radical, governs from the Left, and was voted in by the people of this country. His means of changing America is piece by piece, not by violent take-over. Were that the case, he’d have done it by now! People are scared yes, they don’t like where this man is from and change that he represents but LETS get this nation back on the track the same way it got off track, by VOTING IN People who will put it back on the RIGHT footing and steer it the other way. Cross correction! Any rhetoric to the contrary is just going to be fodder for leftist hacks who want to make all conservatives look like bloody-thirsty, gun-wielding extremists.

    I occupy the space between derml and Scott, above — I think it’s too late to fix things, but that it’s also too early to hang the bastards.

    In the meantime, I think the only sensible course is to *assume* the first assertion is wrong and continue to work to fix the problems using the existing non-violent mechanisms available.

    It worries me that this logic is taking more and more hold on folks. I received an email from a liberal friend expressing his concerns for violence and specifically race-based violence.

    We are allowing the media to treat these disagreements (healthcare, environment, tax, etc) like some generic, “Are you putting your child at risk for death every morning? Story at 11!” lead in to the nightly news.

    We are a nation of people that understand what it means to have boundaries. This is why we each pass through green lights on the way to work not having to wonder if someone is just going to decide to drive through the red light. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between, to the point of being statistically insignificant.

    Visit Venezuela. You will find a very different place. While I believe that a country can move significantly in 2 or 4 years, this country has a much more solid foundation than most.

    Calmly explain to people your positions. Do not stop talking about this. Just make sure you are drawing people to your logic with rational language. We do not need converts at the edge of a sword.

    I believe the term you seek is “Rule of Law”. Americans believe strongly in Rule of Law. That’s why smart ones grasp the importance of supporting the Hondurans over Zelaya. The Rule of Law is not all that common south of Texas, with a few exceptions. Honduras was clearly one of those.

    > ust make sure you are drawing people to your logic with rational language. We do not need converts at the edge of a sword.

    Uh, it’s the Left and Islam which are more likely to use that technique.
