Sow the wind

If you want to track down the source of some incident or activity -- almost anything -- look at the results. That is, see who benefits from it.

Like congresscritters from both sides of the aisle have been threatened due to their positions on socialized medicine. Apparently one of the TV networks did a big "spread" on this, pointing the finger at right-wing crazies and painting the Tea Party as violent and racist nutjobs.

Now who benefits from that? The Tea Party? The Republicans? The network media, propping up their liberal political biases?

It's primarily the democrats. The innocent hapless victims who were only trying to do good. Awwww....

Anyway, I think there's a pretty good chance that the threatening phone calls, the bricks through the windows, the shot fired into Eric Cantor's office (and Cantor is a Republican) more than likely are inspired by the wingnuts in and related to the White House. I mean, let's face it, thuggery is their style. They've just shown the whole nation that they will stop at nothing to get whatever they want. They have no respect for the law or the nation, and they're the ones trying to make political hay over this stuff.

In 1930, just a few weeks after Adolf Hitler was elected as Chancellor in Germany, the Reichstag burned down. That was the German Parliament building. Hitler and the Nazis picked up a Dutch communist who was apparently simpleminded (that might explain his political leanings), and tried to pin the fire on him. Hitler also used the Reichstag Fire as a national crisis -- or as the illustrious Ram Emanual would term it, an "opportunity" -- to take on dictatorial powers. No one knows who really started the fire. A lot of people suspect it was the Nazis, since they benefitted the most from it.

Think that's what's going on here? Submitted for your consideration, that's all.

Actually, the worst thing I heard today was a voicemail directed to an Ohio Republican who voted against socialized medicine. The guy over the phone was extremely nasty. Apparently he was also extremely uninformed.... Like... Dude, socialized medicine is law now.  Maybe if he stayed off the phone he'd know that.

And I think the Comrade totally missed his calling. He should be a high school athletic coach. He doesn't seem to be very good at anything else except rallying the impressionable.

Iran is about to receive a nuclear plant from Russia; Social Security and Medicare both are bankrupt or nearly so; 10% unemployment rate; and the Comrade goes out cheerleading for a bill that has already passed.

Current polls show that the nation is roughly 60% against the Comrade's administration. That's not just socialized medicine -- though it is partly the result of how this son of a bitch shoved it down the nation's throat. However, what that 60% is opposed to is the general direction the nation is going. Now the Comrade jets around the country to rub salt in the wounds and kick up more dust.

No going back, Comrade. You've lost the hearts and minds. We get it now. We saw it happen. Now lie about it -- and try to convince us you're not a liar and an opportunist. But we know better now. For sure.

I think this guy is so far out of his head he's really dangerous in the White House, simply because the US does need a President, and this jerk just ain't doing the job. He's only promoting this old-fashioned, unworkable agenda.

And by the way, about those threats... Though I don't condone violence in this case -- because I think that's exactly what the Comrade wants -- it doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, if someone punches you in the face, your first reaction usually is to strike back. But if you want to really tick off the Comrade and the merry marxists, turn the other cheek.

That'll really screw up their plans, and we'll get them in November.

"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up."

For those who don't read 16th Century English, that means:  "They have planted their seed in the wind and it will result in a tornado. The seed will not root, any buds will be worthless, and if they yield anything at all, the Red Chinese will take it for interest on the debt."
