Just a few thoughts on Nancy Pelosi’s recent outburst,\u00a0decrying the fact that some of the posters at the anti-Obama rallies use language that is a bit on the “edgy”\u00a0side. \u00a0<\/p>\n
In a September 17 news conference in which she repeatedly choked back tears, she said, \u201cI have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late 70s in San Francisco.\u00a0 This kind of rhetoric was very frightening and it created a climate in which violence took place, and I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made\u2026 understanding that some of the ears that it is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Sticks and stones, Madam Speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What Ms. Pelosi obviously knows, but refuses to acknowledge, is that conservatives and Republicans have only words to fight with, and those words are almost always civil in tone.\u00a0 Unlike Democrats, they cannot pick up a telephone and, within hours, have thousands of angry union goons in the streets to rough up citizens who are merely exercising their First Amendment rights.\u00a0 Democrats can, and do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Conservatives and Republicans have never been able to pick up a telephone and, before the next morning, have an uppity black or a white Republican activist flogged,\u00a0hanging from a tree, or burned out of house and home.\u00a0 Although the Klan has gone mostly underground, they have always been at the beck and call of Democrats.\u00a0 Conservatives and Republicans can\u2019t even pick up a phone and order a cross to be burned on someone\u2019s front lawn.\u00a0 Democrats can, and do.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Conservatives and Republicans can\u2019t pick up a telephone during the early months of an election cycle and order the red-t-shirted members of a corrupt leftist organization, such as ACORN, to immediately produce several million new registered\u00a0 voters, real or imaginary, dead or alive. Democrats can, and do.<\/p>\n
Conservatives and Republicans can\u2019t pick up a telephone and, within hours, have busloads of purple-shirted rabble from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) bussed to the scene of a peaceful anti-Obama demonstrations to rough up and intimidate senior citizens.\u00a0 Democrats can, and do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Conservatives and Republicans can\u2019t pick up a telephone and have millions of senior citizens propagandized by a Democratic front organization, such as AARP, convincing them that they are benefitted when Social Security and Medicare reform is derailed.\u00a0 Democrats can, and do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nor can conservatives and Republicans pick up a telephone and instruct unionized teachers to purposely dumb-down the children in their classrooms so that, as young adults, they will become much more amenable to certain political ideals.\u00a0 Democrats can, and do.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Carter seems to think that racism has \u201cbubbled up to the surface\u201d because many white people believe that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country.\u201d\u00a0 Well, Jimmy, you\u2019re only partly right.\u00a0 I could name a number of black men and women who would be capable of leading our great country.\u00a0\u00a0Unfortunately, Barack Obama is not one of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
