I really don't think the Republicans are as stupid as the useful i***ts think they are. Obama will see a lot of Bills coming across his desk in January (maybe some of the 370 bills on Harry Reids desk will make it). He can work with the congress or be labeled an obstructionist. Now let's remember rule #5 and not play into it.
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.) And #12:
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.) These tactics are all they know and will eventually fail because they are morally bankrupt.

And we should cut all their fingers off so they don't shoot anybody (bang, bang).

Liberals have a way of blurring the line between reality and delusion. :lol:

Q: Will the video of Michael Brown robbing a convenience store and assaulting the store owner be admissible in the trial of his death?

One of a unions biggest lies is that they can get you higher wages. Take a closer look, there are many factors which determine higher wages and union presence is NOT one of them. It's the industry (supply and demand), less government regulation, taxation, the economy, geography...Look at areas that are thriving now. Why are they paying higher wages in states like Wisconsin, Indiana and the Northeast? Why can't I get a job in South Dakota paying as much? Why aren't there unions in South Dakota demanding higher wages? As a Teamster I'd like to know what right they have to take my dues and support a party that doesn't reflect my views.
And then ask them why my company is packing up and moving to a right to work state and offering a comparable wage rate in the local economy without a union.

Don't fall for these tricks if you aren't composed enough to defend your position ignore them. Once the name calling starts don't comment.
Good book: Rules for Radicals Defeated by Jeff Hedgpeth.

* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can k**l them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
* RULE 7: “A tactic that d**gs on too long becomes a d**g.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Why do the people on this blog acknowledge fools like Dummy Boy?
His name alone should be enough to tell you he has nothing to offer to an intelligent conversation about issues. It's like watching CSPAN when the Democrats get called out. Republicans should open every statement with "I know you'll call me a r****t for saying this but..."

Not true. They have the war on women, the war on gays, the war on immigrants, the war on the planet... Obama is great at starting wars I only wish he would finish one that matters, ISIS. They ARE a threat. When you drop troops in a war zone the rule of engagement should be k**l the enemy BEFORE you are engaged. They are soldiers not policemen.

Any action against Obama right now would be pointless. It would just give him another smoke screen and race card to play.
I think we should wait and see what the new Congress will do to cement our support in Jan. They know we are watching. My choice for President in 2016 is Rand Paul because he is small government,appeals to the younger v**ers and will be willing to work with both sides. The Republican party is divided now and has too many Karl Rove Rhinos trying to jump on board.
Sure there are other great candidates (Ted Cruz,Mike Pence, Risk Perry etc). But Rand Paul will get the youth v**e and it is more important to get someone in there.

The Democrats are desperate. Never have they been so close to achieving their agenda of full blown socialism. Now they realize that even their base is catching on to their tactics of class warfare. Obama was one of Saul Allinsky's best students.

What the left has to come to grips with is that the government produces NOTHING of value, so it must be usurped from those who do.
So what will you do when there is no one left to support your agenda, what you do best seems to be is whine about how unfair the system is
and demand the government fix it. And like I said the government produces NOTHING of value.
