Enough with Helen Thomas Already!

Remember poor old Joe the Plumber who had all kinds of criticism foisted upon him even though he did not seek the spotlight? Well, the opposite is true of Helen Thomas. Thomas has not only sought the spotlight, she’s been elbowing everybody else out her path for half a century. She places herself in our line of sight at every possible opportunity and she has has no right to hide behind the gender wall. She wants to play with the big boys- well when a man in the public eye is ridiculed because of his voice, there is no outrage. That’s the breaks. O’Reilly didn’t say anything about her gnome-like appearance. Just an oversight I’m sure. That woman treated President Bush with a snide, nasty rudeness that should have gotten her tossed out of the White House. I do not buy her as an object of pity. This whole thing is a smokescreen so that people will forget that it was President Obama who cut the woman off, gave her a dirty look and abruptly talked over the poor little creature while she was still speaking. Did he send posies?

A ROAR from the Right- Battlefield Communique’s

By Sheila J. Murphy, Editor and Chief, The Cool Conservative Web Magazine www.thecoolconservative.com

This is war. Make no mistake about it. This Republic of ours has been a noble experiment and now it is under attack. We are under attack.

If we are to have even a glimmer of hope for victory we must focus our efforts and our energies. Do not be confused or confounded by all the smoke and fog on the battlefield. Look through it. Look through all the hyperbole and vacuous verbiage. There is one basic truth to see and understand right now: Everything that Obama and company does has only one ultimate goal: to create a huge mass of supporters- a proletariat class that is completely dependent on the government and completely under its control. Everything that Obama does is dedicated to creating a proletariat that is large enough to be the sole voice of the people.

That is the purpose of these “stimulus” actions. The final result of these actions will be class warfare that makes economic class distinctions more clearly defined. The taxpayers and captains of industry will be a diminished number. They will be overburdened, villainized and without electoral influenced. The other class will be, whether they want to be or not, transformed into “Takers”- unmotivated, unrewarded, and completely dependent on an all-powerful government. Power is the key word here. It is all about power. Do not ever be distracted by conversation about other goals and intentions. The enemy is focused. They will do and say anything to achieve power and their primary battle plan is to create a proletariat so large it cannot be overcome.

They will inflate those ranks by depriving the people of opportunities to succeed commercially. They will inflate those ranks by allowing as many illegal aliens into the country as possible and by securing the vote for those people and others such as convicted felons. They will inflate those ranks by demoralizing the people- by removing their independence and rights. All of these seemingly insane environmental measures are designed to remove a decision-making from the people- what light bulbs to use- what to eat. All of these crazy, politically correct laws and legal decisions- that impact what people can say, wear and do… This is not all some wild social chaos. To the contrary: it is a plan- the enemy’s battle plan.

What do we do? The first step is to really see this and to understand it. The second step is to come to understand the art of semantics. Conservatives and Republicans have a tendency to be more direct in their communication. That’s a good thing but as a result we have become less sensitive games of semantics when we encounter them and unarmed in countering them. No more. Even people on Fox News are falling for the Obama gamesmanship. I remember during his campaign Obama said “I’m not interested in reinstating the Fairness Doctrine.” Even some of the toughest interviewers fell for this and interpreted it as opposition. It is not. Obama was only saying that it was not a priority during the campaign, That’s all. If it was something in which he was interested, he might have been forced to make a statement that would shake to consciousness the beguiled like Buckley and Noonan. Now when Obama says he doesn’t support reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine he uses semantics beautifully, as usual. He would support other measures with other names. More importantly, one top ranked Fox star does not seem to realize that his support or opposition is not important. These measures will be taken by the FCC. The President need dot even play a role. In the past, the Congress acted to overstep the FCC and enforce the Fairness Doctrine. President Reagan vetoed it. His veto was not overridden. Unless those same circumstances are duplicated, the President and the Congress don’t have a pony in the race. We must prepare right now for the fact that a variety of actions will be taken by the FCC that will have a net effect of silencing any opinion in dissent of the Obama Administration. We must prepare to oppose them as energetically as we have ever done anything. At The Cool Conservative we are preparing more than talk. We’ll produce specific plans of action.

The protection of this noble experiment now falls to us. The battlecry still rings true: “Don’t Tread on Me”.
