A Republican or Right-Wingers cry for "Civility"

are actually Demands that liberals censor themselves. Don't. When a Republican lap dog of the Rich or unhinged Right-Wing troll demands tolerance it's a trick to reframe the discussion or debate under their terms.

After President Obama's press conference yesterday, in which he perfectly laid out the Republican Shutdown goals and causes (i.e. it's an attempted Coup), Republican Representative Luke Messer took to MSNBC to whine, "The President talked about civility but he used the term hijack..."

Boo hoo hoo hoo the President is saying mean things about Republicans. Waaaaaah! How can anyone believe Republicans are super tough hard-charging patriots when words by that scary man in the White House make them cry?

But, what's really going on is a technique that the Right learned under the Mastery of the King Rat Fucker Lee Atwater and shaped by Conseravtive Icons Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, and Grover Norquist in the early 1980's.

During Abramoff's and Norquist's leadership of the College Republicans they and their trollish minions advised CR chapters to test the boundaries of liberalism by, 
Form a "Beastiality Club" or "Straight People's Alliance". Charter the club and apply for student activity money. If the gays are able to obtain funds, you should be able to. If the student government refuses to give you money, hold a press conference and attack them for being sexists and discriminatory. Complain to the Dean's office. Threaten a law suit. - College Republican Technology Manual early 1980's as reported by Thomas Frank in The Wrecking Crew
From Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove and Ralph Reed and their legions of right-wing college punks in the 1980's the modern Tea Party fanatics, the James O'Keefe's of today, learned to always chuckle, 'Oh I thought Liberals were supposed to be tolerant" in order to reframe the debate or steer it away from the topic at hand.

First, the ghost of Karl Popper should appear and say, In the name of tolerance, I claim the Right not to tolerate the intolerant, and hit the Tea Party fanatic in the Head with a Hammer.

Second, don't get sucked into their bullshit. When a Right-Winger proclaims victory by saying 'Liberals resort to name-calling when they are losing the argument" it's actual a Tell and Pre-Attack Que. The Conservative is telling you he doesn't have an argument and he's setting up his attack, You have to be tolerant or I win. You have to absorb my insults calmly or I win. You can't call me a racist or a liar or I win. 

As Father Michael Pfleger said yesterday, “They’d rather see America fail than Obama succeed.” Call this Republican Shutdown what it really is; An attempted coup d'état and a cold Civil War.

Update:
While the Right is working to destroy President Obama it should always be remembered that this Shutdown and Coup attempt are just battles in the Long War the vicious right have been waging upon Us. Their final solution is the complete negation of the Progressive Era and the creation of the Ultra-Reactionary Neo-Feudalist Dream State;
The common vision: an America in which the rich will be taxed at the same rates as the poor, where capital is freed from government constraints, where government services are turned over to the free market, where the minimum wage is repealed, unions are made irrelevant, and law-abiding citizens can pack handguns in every state and town. "My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit,"said Grover Norquist. "Because that person doesn't need the goddamn government for anything."

Republican Divine Rights

While conservatives seek President Obama's removal through the "bullet box" and "second amendment remedies " because he isn't a White Christian Fascist it's interesting to note The Right has lapsed into it's Aristocratic patterns again.

During the American Revolution when Brilliant Progressives George Washington, Ben Franklin, Tom Paine and Thomas Jefferson were crafting the revolutionary doctrine of a State divorced from religion and a Representative Democratic government, the Conservatives of the Era (The Loyalists) were busy killing Patriots and Americans and supporting the Divine Right of Kings.

And whom do we find the Conservatives of today supporting for Government, the idiot Republican children of idiot Republicans. Ben Quayle, Rand Paul, George Bush, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and on...

It's part of the Republican core beliefs. It's in the Blood. While less sophisticated conservatives merely look at the shade of President Obama's skin, more sophisticated racists take it one step further.

To conservatives only the right blood line can make a political leader. Even if that person starts wars which lead to the deaths of thousands of innocents, bankrupts the nation and destroys the middle class like the worst President in History George Bush or is a moronic chicken hawk pornographic website writer like Ben Quayle, they contain the proper aristocratic blood.

The Republican Party wants America to be a Neo-Feudal society. They view themselves as Aristocratic overlords smarter and better than the majority of Americnas and they view their conservative hate mongers as the guardians of their wealth and position.

They aren't even subtle about their vicious slander of President Obama. What do you think the constant attacks on his parentage, his religion, his wife, his children, his belief system are? Do you really believe they are a cogent rational disagreement with his political ideology? No they are bigoted attacks on his birth. To Republicans President Obama doesn't have the right blood, he doesn't have the birthright, he doesn't have the Republicans Divine Right of Rulership.

The Republicans called President Obama a Terrorist during the election so labeling him a Godless Socialist isn't that big a deal.

Overthrow

You thought it was a joke and so you
Laughed, you laughed! When I had said that
Losing you would make me flip my lid - right?
~ They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! Napoleon XIV

Patriotism is a function of Time. Or a subset. I don't quite have the Math-esque analogies down yet. Protests against the Federal Government were once the bastion of the anti-american looney leftards, championing Tear-Oh-Wrists in Iraq, hurting the Troops and entirely unacceptable. But the sun orbits and then Blam! Here come the April 15th Tea Party Protests, which are totally not being orchestrated and are like totally populist.

Today, unlike at anytime during the previous 8 years, all responsible Congressmembers are calling for an "Orderly Revolutions".

Do they really want to succeed? Once the revolution, "Orderly" or not, begins you have called for an end to the tradition of peaceful transition of power.

I will not accept any post hoc eschatological, metaphysical, philosophical or other class of rationalizations to explain the overthrow of an elected figure. And it can't be a one-off never to be repeated event. The Djinn will be out. And from that point on I would never respect a Republican elected official in the Federal government. Never.

Update 04/15:
Many events have transpired since I first opened this article. Governor Rick Perry's call for Texas Secession and the horrible Ambush Murder of the Three Pittsburgh Brothers by a madman incited by the Obama's Coming to Take Guns Away, ha-haaa Meme.

Bachmann crosses the Rubicon

You talk, talk, you talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Shootin' at the walls of heartache, Bang, bang,
I am the warrior ~ The Warrior, Patty Smyth


While "On Enemy Lines" Michele Dump Bachmann declared, "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us ‘having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,’ and the people – we the people – are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country."

As I predicted the Toxic Talkers have attacked Obama from Day 1 with Day after Day after Day of comments designed to create an atmosphere of populist outrage. But to what purpose? A coup d'état? It can't be. I assume it's just to make everyone angry and position themselves to win the elections in 2010 and then challenge Obama with Reagan2 or W2.

But were the 2008 American elections (in which the Republicans lost much federal power) the cause of the rhetoric of Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina who said at CPAC conservatives might have to “take to the streets to stop America’s slide into socialism" and Paul Broun of Georgia who warned Obama's actions are "exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” and the constant references to Revolution?

Led by the Toxic Mouths, Ari Fleschier, Glenn Reynolds, Mark Steyn, She Who Will Not Be Named 2, Not Joe the Not Plumber, and others and given voice by Bachmann, Paul Broun, David Vitter and DeMint it appears the stage is set.

And what happens when it explodes? I'm sure the groundwork laid about ACORN could be used to show Obama was not fairly elected and justify the Coup...

And, April 11th is fast approaching...

Update:
Michele 'Nathan Hale' Bachmann continues to bandy about the Call for Revolution. Telling Sean Hannity "we are at the point, Sean, of Revolution". Maybe she can ask Bill Ayers for assistance in organizing.
