Geeze: Liberal cartoonist calls for dictatorship in United States<http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-spokane/liberal-cartoonist-releases-anti-american-manifesto#comments> <http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-spokane/liberal-cartoonist-releases-anti-american-manifesto#comments> Excerpt: Liberal cartoonist Ted Rall calls for the overthrow of the government in a new book, entitled *The Anti-American Manifesto *(Seven Stories Press, $15.95). Rall stated the book would be released around September 2011. Excerpt: Explaining that he is as far left as left can be, Rall said he would like to see a "completely leftist proletariat dictatorship". "You're trying to use a single interview on a single show to paint an entire network with a broad brush because you want something that you can piss on as the liberal opposite of Fox" Not so. I am trying to point out the hypocrisy of the left when saying violence and overthrow are right wing movements, that is unless you are admitting that MSNBC is an instrument of the left. "Third, constitutional principles? Do you really believe that shit?" Hell yeah. "What a fucking joke. Joe Miller doesn't know the Constitution from a hole in the ground and he was a fucking judge. They'll give law degrees to anyone." I don't give a damn about Joe Miller. And yes, some places will give law degrees to anyone. DC is stocked full of the idiots. "Yup, it's those lefties who are the violent ones." Finally, something we can agree on. I may add this one to my quote list. "And since you've got your nuts in a twist ... " >From your tone and attitude, I would say you're the one whose been twisted. A little post elections blues I suspect. "...over a political cartoonist advocating revolution, I'm sure you'll be shocked (shocked!) to find out that Allen West, who oh so cherishes your return to constitutional principles so much that he launched his political career by torturing people in the military, has hired a right-wing shock jock, Joyce Kaufman, as his chief of staff. She is best known, perhaps, for advocating hanging illegal immigrants in public squares and...wait for it...armed insurrection!" Hell. Barry hired Van Jones and Cass Sunstein and a multitude of other nut jobs so West's hiring of Kaufman doesn't bother me a bit. "Let also not forget the Teabagger darling Sharon Angle advocating '2nd Amendment solutions' if the vote did not go the way she wanted." Like Miller, I don't give a damn about Sharon Angle. I would have loved to see her beat Reid, but it had everything to do with my loathing of Reid. I will say that she is in good company with the comment. The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. - Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government - Thomas Jefferson The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson Or you could just go with this: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. *But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future securit*y. "Uh, Ratigan is a self-avowed conservative from what I understood. MSNBC does that, you know, or are you saying that people like Joe Scarborough are flaming liberals? " John McCain is a self avowed conservative. So what? Ratigan or Scarborough's political views mean nothing to me. "I could be wrong about Ratigan, since I don't watch news on TV, but what I had read about him puts him on the conservative side of the MSNBC lineup," Damn. That means he's probably close to FDR or LBJ. I believe you missed the whole point of the article. Where is the outrage at MSNBC over someone calling for a revolution? See the first post for this line: Apparently, liberals calling for violent revolution and a Soviet-style communist dictatorship in the United States is okay with the hosts at MSNBC, but conservatives who want a return to Constitutional principles are radical.
