Inside Mother Jones, a rather good-looking young white guy is wearing a camouflage outfit and cradling a pistol. He’s part of a small group of military and police officers called the Oath Keepers. While the organization numbers only a miniscule 14,000 nationwide, Mother has elevated them to Public Enemy Number One. From the article: “Glenn Beck loves them. Tea Partiers court them. Congressmen listen to them.” The 912 Project and former Rep. Dick Armey are also implicated. In fact, to read the lengthy exposé, you’d think that the multitudes were fleeing to the hills and taking up arms, Waco-style.
The article does everything a good left-wing rag should do: whip up hatred and paranoia. Of course, in vilifying people as dangerous, Mother is the one inciting violence.Why does the Left engage in such inflammatory behavior? For one, demonizing works. The brainwashed masses buy into it. In one local example, the Bay Area Patriots, organized by the indomitable Sally Zelikovsky, are being accused of “sedition” by a former AP reporter.
By tarring and feathering the Right as dangerous nut jobs, the Left tries to drive a wedge into the Tea Party movement. Their hope is that moderates and independents will distance themselves from the unhinged conservatives. The Left also amasses power by touting themselves as the injured party. Radicals bring billy clubs to polling places, trash Middle America with a vile sexual term, and bite off fingers. Yet Obama and the Left masterfully paint themselves as damsels in distress…..Take California Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is running for reelection with only a 50/50 chance of winning. Her campaign ad: “Protect Barbara Boxer from the Tea Baggers.” Rather than the fiery radical who disses Condi Rice and humiliates a Brigadier General, this Boxer is a true-blue victim…..
Demonizing enemies, cracking down on opponents — these are methods endemic to third-world despotisms. But the Left embrace these lowdown tactics because they see their cause as sacrosanct. Sitting at the left hand of God (right next to Jesus?), they’re allowed to usurp common decency.The Left also cleanse their collective conscience by projecting aggression outward. They never are the mean ones, the evildoers. Sanitizing their vicious deeds, the Left dump all the badness on the other.
Regardless of the Left’s topsy-turvy version of reality, the way to be a decent human being is fairly straightforward. If you act in an honorable, caring way, you’re good. If you throw your weight around, abuse your power, and whip up paranoia, you’re bad.
