All Conservatives Have to Do Is Surrender.

Sunday January 9, 2011

As one might have predicted the political opportunists among us- -especially those on the far left- -have already made use of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriella Giffords and the death of US District Judge John Roll in addition to 5 more people including a 9 year old girl, to scream about “divisive politics” and blame such divisiveness solely on the backs of talk radio “hate spewers” like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and on Fox News as well. As a result, we can expect a political hew and cry this week to “gag” conservative talk radio and brand all conservatives as gun-toting, homophobic, hateful, bigots.

By late-week there will be endless recitations by liberal media outlets recalling each contentious thing said in the past 3 years by every talk radio host about Barrack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and any elected official with a “D” after their name indicating their party affiliation. Regurgitated will be the definition of hate speech as being only those things said by conservatives about liberals and their friends. Forgotten will be the ugly and threatening rants spoken over the preceding 8 years by the Hollywood elite, limousine liberals, smug liberal media folks like Keith Olbermann, Al Francken, Janeane Garafolo, Alan Colmes, Leslie Marshall, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and dozens more about George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Sarah Palin and virtually every high profile adherent of Judeo-Christian values. Journalists from the traditional media outlets will offer knowing comments linking the tenets of the “tea party” to racism, bigotry and paranoia. Paranoid will be used as the main descriptor of Jared Laughner thus his paranoia will make him a “tool” of the tea party by the journalistic "logic" of the New York Times, Newsweek Magazine, NBC News, and the Los Angeles Times to name a few.

During this week we will hear the term “divisive” applied to folks like Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly and even Mike Huckabee because of their non-liberal views. On every far left website anyone of public note who is not a liberal will be held responsible for the deep divide within our country today. The left's chief target will be Sarah Palin and she will be the focus of the debate over who’s to blame for the events in Tucson last Saturday. But missing from the public discourse on “disunity” will be the names of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and every other ‘race baiter’ and advocate of class warfare. Missing from the citations and quotes will be the comments made by arrogant liberal politicians intent on imposing their will on the public. Divisive actions and comments such as Nancy Pelosi’s infamous statement about the healthcare bill, “We’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it”, will not be anywhere to be seen or spoken of as a catalyst for alienation and angst regarding our elected officials and the federal government.

By week’s end they will be calling for the dismantling of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch’s news empire. They will demand the FCC take Limbaugh and Beck off the air. Boycotts of the Wall Street Journal’s advertisers will be the norm. All because THEIR views incubate hate and divide us as a nation so it will be claimed. But no one will publicly tell George Soros that he can’t donate $23,581,000 to various 527 organizations dedicated to defeating conservative causes or millions more to the Center for American Progress, the Democracy Alliance or MoveOn.org. No one will demand equal time or balance from the Huffington Post or the Daily Kos. No, the burden of unifying America again will fall to conservatives but this time the left will demand it take the form of conservatives abandoning their principles and subordinating their rights to the will of liberals and progressives who will not be asked to tone down their actions or their rhetoric. Yes by the end of this coming week it will be apparent- -if you listen only to the traditional and liberal media- -that until conservatives capitulate and wave the white flag of surrender to liberal ideals and social economics people will continue to be targeted by certified whackos like Jared Laughner. Surrender? Really? Not as long as I’m alive.
