Remember when the Right was up in arms about Obama creating

an imaginary National Security Force?

And now they are applauding this shit in Portland.

1. It's clear that all the paranoid fears that the right has...

Is not because they are philosophically opposed to those actions, it's because they want to do them to their political enemies, and they believe that we want to do the same to them.

It's 100% pure projection. When they claim that they're afraid that the government is going to come after them and put them in camps, it's because that's what they want to do to us.

4. Death panels is another in the long list of projection

Money and power before people is their guiding principle.

2. If you ever want to know what the GOP has planned, or what they are currently up to,

just look at what they accuse others of doing. They project pretty much everything in what they say and do.

5. Exactly

And that’s what scares me about this “deep state” rhetoric.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday defended his decision to have the Texas State Guard monitor a military training exercise that has riled conspiracy theorists, denying he has lent credence to their suspicions.

Instead, Abbott said his office is simply looking to serve as a "communication facilitator" between the military and concerned citizens, some of whom recently packed an information session in Bastrop County about the exercise, known as Jade Helm 15. The next day, Abbott sent a letter to the State Guard asking it to keep an eye on the operation so that "Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed."

"We are playing a pivotal role of government and that is to provide information to people who have questions," Abbott told reporters Monday following a prayer breakfast in North Austin. "It's clear that people in Bastrop had questions."

Conspiracy theorists have speculated that the exercise — which spans several states and is scheduled to start this summer — is a covert effort to institute martial law. But Abbott said he has "seen nothing that would cause anybody to worry about what is going on."

6. But the individuals on the Right doing the applauding are certainly NOT the same people

as those up in arms about Obama creating an imaginary National Security Force. Keep that in mind. Much of the right hates a police state as much as the left.

7. Nope

same people. Seen enough quotes from the same people in Congress and others on the Right.
