A quick lesson in projection

When a person has uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, they may project these onto other people, assigning the thoughts or feelings that they need to repress to a convenient alternative target.
Projection may also happen to obliterate attributes of other people with which we are uncomfortable. We assume that they are like us, and in doing so we allow ourselves to ignore those attributes they have with which we are uncomfortable.

We all know that the President and his minions have been claiming that right leaning activists are actually all bought and paid for by the Republican party and AFP. Most of us know that this is not the case but rather just projection from Democrats who are afraid of their own constituents.

The media and the Adminsitration has been going off for a week, or longer, about these astroturf claims.

Well I think the lady doth project too much...and the evidence is below...

Emphasis mine.

As you can see this is a Progressive front group that is putting together an Astroturf campaign. By the way...$600 a week is more than my Wife makes working with disabled children. Just saying.

I have said it before but it is worth saying again...if you want to know what this Administration is doing, simply listen to what they are claiming the other side is doing.

Post Partisan MY ASS!!!

[h/t Steve Foley @ The Minority Report]

President Obama is actively inciting hate against those that disagree with him, not those who created this mess, after all the Democrats have had control of the congress since Jan 2007. Obama is up there preaching like his pal Rev. Wright...using the bully pulpit to cause division rather than unity.

He claimed to be post partisan.

He claimed to be above the fray.

But to those who were paying attention, these sort of union thug tactics are no surprise.

Remember...this is not the first time he has asked his minions to get in the faces of those who dissent with The One™.

Mel Martinez to resign early...

Just saw the report on Fox and also at RedState. No doubt Crist will appoint himself as Senator and then resign his current office as Governor of Florida.

The questions I would like answers to are...

Was this deal worked out between Martinez and Crist before hand?

If there was collusion between Crist and Martinez, were Crist's poor showings in straw poll after straw poll the catalyst for this?

Those are two very important questions which should be asked...and answered.

The good people of Florida deserve that, well actually they deserve Marco Rubio but when has the well being of Floridians ever stopped Crist from being a self absorbed political elite?

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a Failure Than Bush's

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's - Real Clear Politics.

Yes you read that correctly.

President Obama is worse than Bush...and that was with an oversample of African Americans.

I wonder if he is plotting an attack on the homeland in order to bump up his polling numbers?*

The only question is who will he blame the attack on...My guess is that it would be a 3 letter word just like "JOBS" [h/t Joe Biden]. But then again everyone in the know spells it with 11 O's**.

But I digress...

Here's to you President I WON™, You are now less popular the ChimpyMcBushiltler***.

Suck it!!

34 Million on Foodstamps in U.S. [UPDATED]

[UPDATE]
Ok Math FAIL on me. As pointed out in the comments the % is 11% not "almost 10%" Thanks to my friend from Maine for pointing out my error!!
[END UPDATE]

For the first time ever the number of Americans on Foodstamps has hit 34 Million.

With the current population at 307,101,771...That is over 11% of the nation. 11%!!!

Since Obama's inauguration the number has increased by 2.2 Million.

You just gotta love all this Hope&Change™

#iamthemob A special Message to The One™

I am realaying this post to you from Caleb Howe over at Acticons.

If you are on Twitter or you have a blog, don’t let the DNC get away with their continuing assault on your free speech and your right to protest and dissent. If you oppose Obamacare, go to Twitter and tell us who you are. Just add the hashtag #iamthemob.

If you aren’t on Twitter, you can tag a blog entry just like this one telling us who you are and why you oppose Obamacare. Tag it #iamthemob, and link it back here for a linkback.

I am tired of the threats from our government as well. Go read the whole post and do what you can to help out the cause.

Can we call it "MobGate" yet?

Yes. We. Can.


By now I am sure many of you have seen the videos by the DNC and Babs Boxer. If not here they are.






By now I am sure you have heard of the flag@whitehouse.gov email account set up by the WH as a repository for all the tips their little snitches give them.

By now I am sure you have had quite enough of this.

So have the good people at the RNC. A staffer at the RNC has auto-forwarded those calling to complain [note this is the true astroturf campaign] back to the DNC.

How dare Republican's invoke their first amendment rights in opposition to "TheOne™". How dare these individuals dissent. How dare the VRWC!!

Oh and don't forget how dangerous this mob of people can be...



Uhhh...wait...that's not right.

Anyhow...where was I...oh Yes, that's right "MobGate".

So why attach the cliche "gate" to this??

I will tell you why. The gov't set up a mechanism to report and track dissenters. In addition the gov't is using another mechanism to identify IP addresses and correlate them to physical addresses, a violation of the mechanism's original purpose. Then if that wasn't enough for you, you also have the DNC inciting it's followers to become an angry mob.

But wait you say...is this really "gate" worthy?

Yes it is, the original "gate" was what it was because of the stupidity of those involved and the inability to shield the President from the event once public. So for "gate" to be truly applicable the DNC, and the Obama Administration, must receive the backlash of their own creation. Thanks to that enterprising staffer at the RNC, the backlash has already begun.

As Dan Spencer explains at RedState..."Opposition Panics Obama and Democrats". Yes Dan...the projection Chickens Obama let loose are now coming home to Roost [h/t Rev Wright..where you been dog!!].

And we aren't even through the first year here people.

WRT Right Wing Extremists and Town Hall meetings...[UPDATED]

I am actually surprised one could find video of "Right Wing Extremists" at any town hall meetings.

After all...most of the Democrats in Congress aren't having town hall meetings because they don't want to deal with their constituents opposition to a plethora of proposals and acts of congressional overeach.

But alas that is not the point of this post...

For the point...



"They're Back"

Yes, you are correct...we are back and we are upset. One reason we are upset is that the Domocrats in Congress, and the Obama Administration as a whole, are calling us terrorists, extremists and many other names in order to marginalize us. And for what, what is it that we have done for them to categorize us as extremists?

Dissent, that's what. We dare to stand up for ourselves, we dare to invoke our rights given by our God and protected by our Constitution.

Once known as the "highest form of patriotism", dissent is now apparently the last bastion of extremism. How quickly the sands shifted.


Make sure to go here* to read more on the changing value of dissent in our Republic. If you want the cliff notes version see Caleb Howe's tweet here.

[UPDATE]

I highly encourage any readers I may have to go see Jeff Emanuel's take on RedState with regard to the hypocrisy exposed by this DNC Ad.

What do you get the man who has everything??

How about a disastrous monstrosity made of icing and cake.





Yes he is the President...but he is so much more.

A community organizer, radical leftist, heck I have even seen reference to him being some sort of god.


Michelle should understand by now that a god gets what he wants...



And I think this is what Bambi really wanted...




What? You don't think he wouldn't like this...do you?

P.S. I don't care how long you hold your breath and kick your legs...you are not getting UHC for you birthday...and no I don't care that all your friends in Cuba have it. If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you also jump....ok bad example, but I think you get the point.
