The AUTHORITARIANISM of the RIGHT is really shining.
After watching news shows and news programs over the
past week in particular; it is difficult to miss
the authoritarianism. It is one thing to smear and
try to marginalize a movement, but some of the lines
used make my hair extend upwar. Just heard Ryan
comment: SOCIAL UNREST IS UNAMERICAN". This "UN-AMERICAN"
theme is berng repeated over and over.

What they are saying is that all Americans should
suffer in slience and when the GOP says jump, the
Americans showld say HOW HIGH. The Peole in a Republican
World do not have a voice if it in anyway disagrees with
the Right.

They may some on the right whipped into fear of dissent
ans some do act like sheeple. They simply repeat what
they hear but dig a bit and they do not realize they
have been snookered.

BEWARE: This attitude makes leaders turn to martial
law. LAW AND OREDER IS THE PRIORITY. Social Unrest
is not the American Way.

People there is a lot at stake in the next election.

1. What did you expect coming from the Republicans?
This is them attempting to again control the message. It's not working and it won't work. We are the 99% and we are savvy.

3. 99% of the American people would enjoy booting Eric Cantor in the rear
and let's hope out the door.


Or let's say VOTE him out the door.

5. Remember when Michele Bachman
encouraged the Tea Party meeting at the doors of Congress? Remember how some Tea Party members shouted at black Congress members as these members walked into Congress?

I heard not one Republican say anything about the Tea Party being un-American then.

6. This was what showed us the TEA PARTY WAS A CHARADE.
They could turn off the anger on command; disapperar
for weeks without a peeop, then reappear all hyped
up.

7. Authoritarianism is on the Left too
Sadly, I've watched far too many on the Democratic side also display their authoritarianism traits lately. I've watched them cheer the due process free assassination of an American citizen merely because it was done by the Obama administration. It's a real eye-opener.

9. I don't think you should confuse support for Obama
with support for these demonstrations.

I think these demonstrations are about economic fairness; hence, the reason that the first demonstration was on Wall Street.

Who the demonstrators will support in elections is not being discussed at this point.

11. I agree
I remember one of my South Carolina brothers saying that he heard a historian saying that the people of South Carolina were very reluctant to challenge the British government until the British made the mistake of treating the people as those they were rebels.

12. Tea baggers spitting on dem congressmen
Tea baggers armed to the teeth in rallies.

Teabaggers threatening "2nd amendment solutions" if they didn't get their way.

Where was Cantor, King etc and all those corporate whores on Fox when this was happening?

I guess dissent is ok and american when its your own brownshirt stormtroopers threating to kill leftists eh?
