is this treason? incitement ?

July 16, 2009

Enough Is Enough

By John Griffing

Tyranny has sprung up from amongst us. President Obama has waged a blitzkrieg on American liberty, and, in only a short time, undercut the Constitution of the United States with a brazen arrogance that should shock Americans into action.

President Obama's unconstitutional salvo exceeds even the most intolerable indulgences of the Bush Administration. President Bush was often brash and improper in his use of certain mechanisms, but President Obama has moved quickly far beyond the realm of comparatively benign Presidential Signing Statements. When our new President can appoint "Czars" to rule entire sections of American life without electoral accountability or even Congressional confirmation, we have entered the unholy realm of Dictatorship.

<snip>

Wake up America. Now is not the time to pat ourselves on the back for our racial sensitivity. We have proven that we are not a racist country, several times over. Now is the time to rise up against tyranny, before it consumes what is still left of the America we all know and love. Conservative, Liberal, black, and white must join hands against the despot that holds the freedom of generations in such contempt.


Every last man, woman, and child must take to the streets, or the last best hope of mankind will vanish for all time

13. "Taking to the streets"
would seem to imply that. On the other hand, it can also mean something as intelligent as one of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s marches, or as foolish as the recent tea bagging parties.

14. I "took to the streets" and urged others to do so to protest the wars in Vietnam and Iraq
And I dare you to call me a traitor.

3. Comparing Obama's actions to Nazi warfare? Calling for chaos in the streets?
Yeah that's treasonous/inciting speech.

9. Where does he call for "chaos in the streets?" The words "Nazi warfare" do not even appear in that
idiotic screed.

You can "rise up against tyranny" at the voting booth, you know. You can "rise up against tyranny" by sending a strongly-worded letter or holding a protest sign on a public avenue.

There's no call for chaos in the streets in this article. No lurking Nazis, either.

Look, the article is written by a nitwit with dumbass ideas, but there's no need to make it more than what it actually is--the rantings of an idiot who just hates Obama.

Why give the pathetic and stupid fool more 'menace' than he merits?

8. It's moronic free speech by a moron. I don't see any direct incitements to violence here.
You can "rise up against tyranny" by "taking to the streets" with protest signs. It doesn't always have to involve the tree of Liberty being refreshed by the blood of patriots. That said, this guy is a fool with a lousy handle on his "facts."

Love the way this idiot paints Bush as "brash and improper"--like a little schoolboy--but Obama's the Be-All and End-All of Evil! And the nitwit seems to forget who lit this faith-based shit off, entirely! Look at this priceless whine:

There's even a "faith-based" Czar to handle church issues. Separation of church and state appears to be somewhat more flexible as long as Obama is in power.



American THINKER? More like "American having DIFFICULTY thinking!" :rofl:

10. "Join hands" and "Take to the streets" is *treason*?
Come on Cali, you know better than that.

11. Wow, someone else parrotting the same old RW talking point as Glenn Beck the Huck, and the
Washington Times. The first time I ever heard about appointing a 'Czar' was in George W. Bush's administration.

12. Not unless they're actually advocating violence, which I don't see here
But they still sound like seriously idiotic pieces of crap.
