Lord of the Flies, Swatting at Grandmothers!

Team Obama, never ones to let a 'crisis go to waste' called for a Swat Team to control a gathering of some 200 or more peaceful Tea Party protesters in Quincy Illinois, where President Barack Obama made a speech on Wednesday at the Oakley-Lindsay Center.

To say that their hand was overplayed would be a massive understatement. The episode was captured in this You Tube:

How utterly foolish can this administration be, they allow our borders to be open sieves, have FBI agents on the battlefield reading enemy combatants Miranda Rights, dismissed the Black Panther Voter Intimidation Case, and will not cooperate with the Senate oversight committee to thoroughly investigate the Hassan Nadal attack at Fort Hood. His Administration wants Attorney General Holder to give admitted terrorist show trials in New York. And they have the audacity to send a Swat Team to intimidate Grandmothers and peaceful citizens for carrying signs and letting him know they will not vote for his party.

One would think that the fishing incident would have been lesson enough when staffers in the bowels of the Whitehouse set up a website for folks to turn themselves or their neighbors in for not supporting Obama's precious Healthcare bill. Remember flag@whitehouse.gov?


Are the President of the United States and his team so thin skinned that that they are rattled by a small peaceful protest rally in the middle of a small town in Illinois which is indicative of the objections of the majority of Americans to this administration's policies and efforts?

Apparently this President, and the Democratic Party in the Congress and Senate along with the main stream media believe that it is somehow appropriate to continue to pass legislation based on lies that they have not read, bills that will forever alter this great Republic.

Does he really expect, really think for a moment the voter’s are going to remain silent and passive to the dismemberment of this Republic? Is he so arrogant to think he can drop in and give a speech filled with mischaracterizations and antithetical to what most voters want while ignoring or outright lying to us, his constituents?

Not only does it appear that President Obama does not understand who he works for, it appears he has also forgotten some information in our founding documents.

Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I would like to add especially the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble.


From: http://www.whig.com/story/news/WEB-Tea-Party-043010

“Quincy Tea Party members wanted President Barack Obama to know they were present Wednesday afternoon during his appearance in Quincy.

About 200 people protesting Obama's policies loudly chanted "USA, USA" as his motorcade made its way out of the Oakley-Lindsay Center, then sang "Hey, hey, hey, goodbye" as the vehicle went by.

The participants were vocal but well-behaved as they stood on the north side of York Street across from the OLC. …”

Urged on by people with megaphones, the crowd shouted slogans, among them "Remember in November" and "You work for us."

November 2010 cannot come soon enough, nor can November 2012.

America's Post Racial President

From American Thinker, ..."There is a danger in the Obama White House honestly appraising the Tea Party's criticisms: It may bring illumination to the consequences of their policies. And because, as poll after poll suggest, an enlightened citizenry would reject absolutely the continuation of said policies, such honesty would be politically suicidal.

Where the Tea Party openly provides its recommendations and cites its complaints, the Obama White House and its allies in the media take quite a separate approach. It is difficult to tell behind which goal they place the stronger thrust of their efforts: concealing their own agenda or wrongfully portraying the intentions of their critics."

On the campaign trail, Barack Obama sold a bill of goods (to those interested in his product): the possibility that this nation might finally be presented with the opportunity to rip through the ever-present and seemingly insurmountable partisan divide to achieve the Holy Grail of political discourse more commonly known as the civil debate of issues. However, now it is evident that he is actively pursuing an attitude of the very dissension which it was his stated goal to diminish.

Or according to the absolute whipping reflected in this in a series of polls from Rasmussen, which indicate the rising surge against his policies?

Presidential ratings, Strongly Disapprove at 52% 55%

73% Say It’s Likely Goldman Sachs Committed Fraud·

He is soon to find out that his brand of change is not what millions of Americans cast their ballot for particularly that rare breed of mavericks identified as Independents.

Whether through his divisive policies or through his divisive dismissal of those who oppose his policies he has been the master of partisanship. Obama ran on a promise to end partisanship, and as a post racial candidate, and on pledges of transparency, and open ethical government.
