America’s Progressive-Anarchist Tea Party
by Andrew Marcus
Bill Clinton was absolutely right when he wrote the following in the New York Times:
Finally, we should never forget what drove the bombers, and how they justified their actions to themselves. They took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them.
….
Criticism is part of the lifeblood of democracy. No one is right all the time. But we should remember that there is a big difference between criticizing a policy or a politician and demonizing the government that guarantees our freedoms and the public servants who enforce our laws.
We are again dealing with difficulties in a contentious, partisan time. We are more connected than ever before, more able to spread our ideas and beliefs, our anger and fears. As we exercise the right to advocate our views, and as we animate our supporters, we must all assume responsibility for our words and actions before they enter a vast echo chamber and reach those both serious and delirious, connected and unhinged.
We couldn’t agree with President Clinton more. We must all be vigilant in our efforts to avoid fostering an environment that offers quarter to extremist and violent elements.
This is as true for the Tea Party as it is for any other political movement – and while we are on the subject of other movements, we trust that President Clinton’s intellectual consistency would necessarily lead him to condemn Lisa Fithian’s United For Justice and Peace the Direct Action Tendency (DAT) anarchy group.
For those who haven’t heard of DAT or United For Justice and Peace, their groups make up one of the central organized points of coordination between the Progressive-Democrat Party and Anarchy groups who have protested violently in our streets over the past several years.
Yup. That’s right. The radical Progressive wing of the Democrat party, through people like Lisa Fithian, has been in direct coordination with the very Anarchy protesters who trashed St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2008 during the Republican National Convention. They would have done much more damage had they not been thwarted by a former radical-turned FBI informant.
How do we know this? Because they wrote about it. Why don’t you know about it? Because the media in this country never bothered to look into whom the people were who organized the marches which repeatedly led to violence and arrests.
If any of the mainstream press had been the slightest bit curious (and why would they be? It was just politically organized rioting on the streets of our country), they could have performed some cursory Google searches that return ample circumstantial evidence of direct coordinating efforts between the clean, presentable, mainstream face of the Progressive-Democrat movement, and the dark underbelly of the Anarchy movement in this country. *
How does this relationship work? It’s simple(ish). Let’s start with the clean face of the Progressive-Democrats: the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This entity was founded and organized by self-described Socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, and by an organization called the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
The DSA was founded and supported by many of the same people active in the 1960s radical movement, known widely as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and their domestic terrorist wing, the Weather Underground Organization (WUO).
Key members of the Democratic Socialists of America are principal organizers of two current groups called “Progressives for Obama” and the reconstituted “Movement for a Democratic Society” (MDS).
Progressives for Obama is where the straight face of Progressive unions, non-profits, and educational institutions organized their efforts to elect then Senator Obama to the presidency.
The reconstituted MDS is the tip of the nose of America’s ugly radical Progressive face. The MDS made it its mission to restart the SDS. They succeeded, and one of the first tasks of the reconstituted SDS was to begin forging a relationship with Anarchists and to participate in what they call “Direct Action” protests. They succeeded, and the synthesis of the Progressive Democrat movement with the Anarchists manifests itself in the self-described Socialist Anarchy movement called the Direct Action Tendency (DAT). The DAT, along with Lisa Fithian’s United For Justice and Peace, represents the very ugly face of the Progressive-Democrat movement, where they coordinate with street thugs, Che/Castro worshiping Socialists, and islamists.**
What is a “Direct Action?” A direct action typically (but not exclusively) consists of staging a protest with the predetermined goal of causing a direct confrontation with the police.
While covering the Democrat convention in Denver, and subsequently the Republican convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul, it became clear that there was a distinct and organized pattern at work.
Organizers would stage a rally and/or a concert. These events were planned and permitted through the local municipalities. The goal was almost always the same. Eventually the organizers would breach the boundaries of the permit, and force a confrontation with the authorities. This frequently resulted in extensive damage to property, as well as added expense in resources devoted to dealing with the Anarchists.
What’s the point? It’s three-fold. 1) These events present successful organizing opportunities to collect names and contact info of participants, thus growing the movement. 2) These events radicalize the members, making them more devoted to the cause. 3) Propaganda is produced that depicts the ‘evil police’ being brutal to otherwise seemingly peaceful protesters.
What’s their goal? To end Capitalism, with which they equate racism, sexism, exploitation, terrorism, and murder.
These Direct Action Tendency and United For Justice linked events, (like the RNC Welcoming Committee) represent a modern day Progressive-Anarchy Tea Party. One main difference of course between the Conservative/Libertarian Tea Parties, and the Progressive-Anarchy Tea Parties is the premeditated tactic of breaking the law and getting arrested. Conservatives and Libertarians don’t tend to do that. Progressive-Anarchists have mastered it as a form of political art.
This all begs the question, if a group of Conservative/Libertarian Tea Partiers engaged in an attack on an urban infrastructure with the premeditated goal of shutting down a Democrat political event, would they face charges for federal civil rights violations? Perhaps that would depend on whether or not America is a land where people are guaranteed the right to political expression and peaceable assembly.
On a side note, organizing the Progressive-Anarchy Tea Party movement was no small task. Typically, the Anarchy Socialists and the Democratic Socialists don’t get along. Their achievement in coming together is a testament to the uniting powers of President Barack Obama. People in the center misunderstood when Democrats called Obama a unifier. They didn’t mean he could unite the Left and the Right, as the center assumed. They meant he could unite the Socialist Progressive Left and the Socialist Anarchy Left. Success. He did just that.
This is what the real Tea Party is up against. Do the Tea Party Patriots have what it takes to go up against this unified Socialist-Progressive-Anarchy front? The Jury is still out on that one. Most Tea Partiers have no clue about the forces arrayed against them, and it is pretty hard to best an adversary you don’t fully understand.
Further, just take a look at the differences between the crowds in this movement. One crowd looks old and soft and the other crowd looks young and hard. To illustrate the point, let’s play a little game called, “Name That Tea Party.” The rules are very simple. Just take a look at the following image pairs and guess which Tea Party they fall under, the Conservative/Libertarian Tea Party, or the Socialist Anarchy Tea Party:
Image Pair #1
Image Pair #2
The Conservative/Libertarian Tea Party has a lot to overcome, most of which it is not even aware of yet, but with President Clinton in your corner, condemning the dangerous and inflammatory behavior of radical protesters, anything is possible.
* Disclaimer: I am not a forensic researcher. The conclusions in this article are based on very basic online searches. Imagine the dots that could be connected if a professional researcher/investigator dug into this. Or perhaps if the distributed talent found in the Blogosphere were to take a whack at it, much like the way they outed the egg-throwing thugs in Searchlight.
** There are some who believe the DAT is on life support, and has largely folded into something called the “Red and Anarchist Action Network” (RAAN)

[...] America’s Progressive-Anarchist Tea Party Posted on April 28, 2010 by U.S. Constitutional Free Press America’s Progressive-Anarchist Tea Party. [...]
I have been saying this for YEARS!
The left IS the home of the "anarchist" protesters!
The evidence is overwhelming!
You need to clean your Common Space have a Tea Party. You want to destroy your Common Space be invaded by leftist anarchist. The difference being the Tea Party people actually pay taxes, in other words they are taking care of their things. The leftist scum are mostly spooners, aligned with the parasitic class, with absolutely no skin in the game, so why not tear up other peoples things. The Clinton-Carville strategy is achieving the opposite result. The only people who care are the MSM and other assorted Kool-Aid addicts. So, I say flail away Sleazy Willy your making yourself look stupid!
Caedite Eos!! Ha ha. ;^) +Hanzo+
Did you watch Pgh. during the G20, they shut down the protestors leaveing Pgh. with the bill of paying for the gathering of mostly bistanders in Oakand, far from the downtown area. And they never once asked for papers.
I did not know that.
The damage was already done by that time though.
Seattle was ugly but what happened there happened here in Portland as well, they are a cancer that needs to be cut from society.

Unfortunately the biggest Trojan Horse that nobody ever suspected until it was too late is sitting in the Oval Office…
Who pays for the "anarchists" who do the rioting at the G8 meetings and elsewhere? Are they just brats from wealthy families who are the most likely to rebel against the system that allowed their parents to become wealthy?
Thank you Andrew Marcus for the heads up. We may be old, but we ain't stupid. The true test is, can we peacefully confront the evil that will be placed before us.
The lib/progs are playing with political dynamite and think they can control it. I don't think they can.
I've long tried to see the logic in the alliance between big government progressive and the anarchists… Its a twisted and perverted relationship, and I don't think its one that is easily explained and defined… the best I can come up with is that they are using each other as means to their own ends. But, who is really going to get the shaft (besides the American people)?
I guess I don't know enough about the goal/motivations of anarchists… What gets me is that, if they are anarchists, they want no government… so why would they team up with the people who want the biggest government possible? The only answer that makes sense to me is that they know the big gov't Progressives will collapse the country with their big spending, big debt agenda. However, doesn't this seem like a pretty big gamble? Its such a complicated relationship…
I'm not sure which is correct: "Things WILL get worse before they get better," or "things MUST get worse before they get better."
Only when evil is revealed can it be defeated. Evil is getting increasingly bold, nowadays. Perhaps the election of BHO is exactly what we needed for people to see the truth. We've been heading down this path for decades, now we will finally have the chance to reverse that course.
Tea Party and Coffee Party Clashed in an UGLY New York City Confrontation – SPN Headlines story at:
http://spnheadlines.blogspot.com/2010/04/tea-part...
Keep smiling!
Anarchists have variation, from the cum by ya hippy to the burn it all type. As for motivation, only God knows. And that they are all used is correct, in Seatle they were allowed to have fun, while in Pgh. they were draconianly shut down. But it was real cool to see the sonic crowd control devise used, even if the dial was not turned to 10.
Coulld not have said it better myself Missy. The progressive/Socialist are willing to use violence, deception, and the brain mush that is the youth and people who subscribe to groupthink.
Black face masks need to be illegal in any demonstration….why are they always hiding their faces…..we need to plaster their pictures everywhere (without the masks) so that they can be identified as the true radicals. I don't see any of the proud patriotic Tea Partiers covering their face–they are proud to speak up!
Great article. Wasn't aware of that part of the radical left. Clinton needs to look into his own corner before calling out anyof his opposition.
In fact we shouldn't even be listening to Clinton after his cover up and lies about WACO! He's a murderer telling the Tea Party to be careful what they say! He's SO full of crap. He's just NObama with a better skill at hidding his agenda.
Anarchists are alot more fun to hang out with though.
"self-described Socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders"
This guy is an independent …got an "I" after his name. If you think you can trust someone just because they tell you they are independent…THINK AGAIN! The enemies of America are EVERYWHERE. It's time for real Americans to wake up and wise up.
This Saturday the anarchists in Portland and other places around the country will be hold their annual "May Day" parade and as usual they will beat people up, burn crap and spit on cops. This is an annual event here that usually starts of right in front of Powells' Books (Worlds largest book repository) and then moves down to the corner of 3rd and Burnside where the violence takes place. It is amazing that it is only a seven block walk from Powell's to 3rd but they usually do a lot of damage in that very short walk. They never get permits, they are never peaceful and they always cause damage yet the city leaders always turn a blind eye to the outrageous behavior.
Meanwhile last fall the Tea Party Express rolled into town and the City put an extra cops on duty, "just in case the Tea Partiers became violent"…?
What a crock!
and YOU think this can be done peacefully? REALLY? you're being unrealistic you have to view "these people"
as the BRITS of the 1770's. you want to be a "patriot" then you may also may need to be a minuteman.
I guess i'll have to do some research on the anarchist movement and their relationship to the big gov't progressive socialists. I imagine it will be quite illuminating.
Unbelievable. Its so incredibly frustrating to be continuously portrayed as a violent or inciting violence, yet when violence is actually manifested in violent actions during the not-so-peaceful protests of the left, the media is silent. So frustrating.
Easier to get volunteers for overtime when the worst that a TP will do is offer you a mint as opposed to haveing a bag of fermentred feces thrown at you.
Sorry I didn't get right back to you Skeeter..
The connection is simple, they are "tools" see also "useful idiots", a means to an end that creates an appearance of victim-hood for the cameras to see.
So in reality their number one bi-product is sympathy via violence to garner attention for the radical agenda.
Stalin and Hitler did the same crap…
excellent point.
I've said for a long time, a huge part of the problem is that the voting population has become lazy, uninvolved sheep. You are absolutely right, we all need to wake up and see what's been going on for the last several decades.
What? No connection drawn between these groups and the beating in New Orleans?
Ah,……maybe true there Libs,…………
but unfortunately,……………..
Life is just a tad more than just,…….."to hang out………."
Chairman O? LOL! You far right wing nuts are such a bunch of clowns. i didnt realize trying to reign in destructive derivsatives trading made someome a commie. It did lead to a hell of alot of debt and the number one reason for the bailouts. But let's not mess with the "free market" for the sake of ideological purity.
God help these Mao loving, Che worshipping POS'. Up until now they have been met with an opposition that has shown an unpresedented level of restaint in containing their illegal actions. What they are not aware of, but should be for their own good, is that when pushed too far, that type of restraint will vanish. When thet meet real opposition (and that is us) they had better scurry back under their rocks while they have the chance to.
Obama will turn out to be exactly what our Country needed. He has exposed the vile nature of our Congressional and Senate leaders. He has embraced his life long commitment to Marxism and black liberation theology and thrust it upon true Americans who will not submit to tyranny. He has revealed his racism as he incites instead of unites. The Nation of Islam leader said it best "he was not elected, he was selected" He has been carefully groomed, he will continue to divide us into groups, all dictators have chosen that method, every last one of them has targeted, mocked and ridiculed those who stood against their regime. Americans will no longer tolerate the intolerable. Peacefully, we must use our voting rights as our weapons. We, as Americans must not engage in violence. Only the Unions, illegals and progressive activist have been violent thus far. That too will be quite transparent soon, even without the assistance of the main stream media. Obama has brought transparency to the radical agenda that is clearly not compatible with The United States of America, we should "Thank Him" in November by sweeping every incumbent out of office. United we stand, divided we fall.
I could not have said it better.
Those with bad intentions will always hide their faces.
Similar thoughts while watching the "protests" in AZ. Many where wearing bandanas over their faces and I could not help but think of the similarities to AQ/Taliban. Those cowards behind the mask are one in the same all over the world and share one goal. Fundamentally Transform (destroy) the USA.
Somebody absolutely needs to go after this with professional research. Unfortunately, I doubt anybody actually will. The media doesn't care; they have exactly who they want in the White House.
I know it is hard for you but do try to stay on topic, this thread is about Chairman O's use of anarchist radicals NOT derivative trading.
All of the media and blogs need to develop the template describing the people who associate with this anarchy as "Progressive Terrorists", "Progressive Fundamentalists", etc. If needed, throw in the term "Modern" in front to help describe these people in the words of Hillary Clinton.
Alinsky Rule 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it
All persons who truly believe in the United States as a Republic must adhere to PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY as guaranteed in the Constitution. Please let your voice be heard peacefully.
Maybe we teapartiers should proudly start wearing name tags in contrast to those cowards whose causes are so damaging that they must cover their faces.
If you love peace prepare for war. I am.
Right on the money!
Your current president shows daily a level of divisiveness exceeding that which was attributed to his immediate predecessor and all far and above the capability of your media outlets to hide or easily dismiss. Considering those same media outlets succeeded in minimizing the public outcry for justice against the sodomizing child rapist Roman Polanski, I find that quite remarkable. That they have found another object for misdirection in your Tea Party movement and are making serious use of it is no surprise to me. American Tea Party members should expect themselves to be the new straw-men now that the GWB card and the race card are worn thin. Should those on your radical left need to appear "in character" at your rallies, you very much need to identify them publicly and spotlight just who they really are. Nothing sends the roaches scattering like sudden illumination. Time to flick on the lights folks.
BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin has agreed to speak at a Tea Party convention in New Orleans
this weekend. Her stated theme: Putting Americans Back To Work Cleaning The Shorelines
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Drill Baby Drill!
Marx Stream Media. ..
my version: Marx Stalin Maodia … ; /
what a troll you must be
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
Take some medication.
No, seriously, this tinfoil territory.
As a card-carrying member of the IWW, I can tell you I have nothing but contempt for both political parties.
Let us hope that Libs for got the <sarc> tag, Ralph……..+Hanzo+
True, how true. Can't blame them, perhaps they're waiting for the anarchist scum to spontaneously combust, as all shit will do, just a matter of time, and they don't want to be splattered. ;^) +Hanzo+
How about for the sake of the Constitution and keeping government away from where they don't belong, shit for brains. +Hanzo+
A new troll? Haven't seen this one before. Are all of our old trolls becoming 'new' trolls, with new screen names? New trolls, same meme, and same bs. +Hanzo+
Can I punch one of those skinny, no muscle "anarchists" in the face a couple of dozen time, or will they seek protection from institutions? Not very anarchic, are they?
I am an anarchist radical.
And I reject Christianity. But being brought up Catholic does that to most people.
I think anyone that voted for Bernie Sanders knew exactly who he was. he has never made any apologies for it nor tried to hide it. He's an honest and hardworking politician who fights for the people of his state and country to make sure they get a fair shake.
Sanders has called himself a democratic socialist in just about every interview he has ever done, in debates, during campaigns, etc. The voters in VT knew who he was an simply liked him and his politics. Much like O who never said he wasnt going to reform healthcare, finance, etc. He ran on these things too.
Five anarchists were the ones who beat up and severely injured the two Republicans, woman and a man, in New Orleans after the dinner at Brennans.
What a bunch of violent cowards and miscreants.
.
I never had a high opinion of Vermont. Now you know why.
Admitting you're a baby-raper does not diminish the seriousness of your crime. Trust me…a day of reckoning is coming.
If you know who sanders is you're not uninformed about political issues, trust me. The uninformed vote Palin so they can be just like her. Uninformed. Which she makes no apologies for either.
She's still prattling on with the same crap she spewed during the 08 election about community organizers and us versus them. Sean Hannity looked like his ears were bleeding during his interview with her on Fox last night. Never has a more thoughtless person, I wont call her a politician since she quite being governor, polluted the political landscape.

Sign the petition and get a "Don't Tread on Me" sticker!
Could we please hear from someone who isn't high and hasn't bankrupted their State with proglib idiocy? Go back to sucking your bong, hippie.
I'm sorry, that makes you not worth speaking to any longer as you lack the knowledge of your own history to be able to defend your birthright as an American.
Sad "little" boy.
That's your choice.
Children that are anarchists grow up when they gain knowledge and then join the system to change from within, take Bill Ayers and friends.
Are you freakin' kidding me? Did you hear the Presidents speech from last evening?
Now tell me again, who do we need to be worried about? Who will incite violence?
Fight on Patriots!
I have never seen our country so divided,………………..
and we are partly to blame,…………
every time they take a piece of "crap" and tag,…………..REFORM,…….. to it,………..
we feel compelled to allow it in our political discourse.
We had better wise up and shut the gates on these invaders of our democracy.
or it won't be just one, but rather,………..a herd of Trojan horses that will be in our midst.
No markie poo, we only hate rich white lefty boys who are sooo brave behind their keyboards. Like you, troll.
seriously. morons like calikid give stoners a bad name.
We want to drill so bad in Alaska we taste the smell of oil in the air. Dead,
bloated mammals, oil soaked birds, we want to turn Alaska into the 'New
New Jersey." America, will you help us? Will you help us destroy this
planet?
In theory, I completely agree with you.
However, consider a tea party I went to, last summer. There were only about 50 of us at our county courthouse. Then, a bus showed up, and about 50 Purple Shirts piled out, screaming obscenities at us. The press THEN showed, and interviewed THEM.
It would have come to blows had it not been for 8 of us who were veterans, including one 83 year old man (who had been called a "baby-killer" … he was wearing his American Legion cap).
The history of the Left demonstrates conclusively that their immediate purpose is to control the streets. If they can't out-shout us, they will take to violence.
Peaceful assembly, yes. But be prepared for the worst …
For those who haven’t heard of DAT or United For Justice and Peace, their groups make up one of the central organized points of coordination between the Progressive-Democrat Party and Anarchy groups who have protested violently in our streets over the past several years.
I don't see how DAT could be "one of the central organized points of coordination between the Progressive-Democrat Party and Anarchy groups," given that DAT disbanded several years ago.
The tea-baggers are just a sad group of old, white, rich, malcontent republicans who hate blacks, hispanics, asians, the middle class and the poor and hate the fact that we have a black president. When they howl "take back America!!!" they mean to take it back from the minorities. Luckily the middle class and the poor far outnumber the tea-baggers so they will have little effect in November.

What O hasnt done is chuck the right wing garbage like the patriot act and the worthless wars we are stuck in like he said he would.
Five anarchists were the ones who beat up and severely injured the two Republicans, woman and a man, in New Orleans after the dinner at Brennans.
This so hilarious. Please don't take this down. Please.
It's so convenient to have a singular example of the kind of ignorance and confusion that has fueled the right-wing fringe since the days of the Know-Nothings. Send it to Colbert and you'll have a job.
This aging anarchist who went to his first demonstration in 1989 would like to know where my George Soros checks are. That would be a lot of money according to the tin-foil hat crowd.
Same with the wealthy parents. The dirt-poor, unmarried teenagers who I thought were my parents must have secretly adopted me in 1973 from Jackie O or someone.
Thanks for convincing me to find my real parents and my riot money.
Birthright? You mean being born inside of a set of imaginary lines?
Dream on, keyboard warrior.
Mao loving? Remember that next time you buy some red, white, and blue plastic crap from China at Wal-mart.
The genius who wrote this also thinks that the IWW and the Wobblies are separate organizations.
As in your birthright to the constitution, try to keep up, you're embarrassing yourself.
The Tea Party parades are no threat to the interests of Wall Street and the government, and the CEOs and politicians know it. That's why their 527s bankroll you.
The Tea Party is not a movement, it's just a protracted campaign event for the GOP fringe candidates to be nominated. This plan may backfire if moderate Republicans decide to vote for one of the many DINOs, instead of some theocon Taliban wannabee.
You still aren't 'aware.' This is all outdated and inaccurate information, and this making the rounds in anarchist circles as comedy. Many people can't believe that it's real.
The Horowitz "Discover the Networks" stuff may be hysterical but at least it has some basis in fact, unlike this drug-addled hilarity.
This meth fantasy also lists the IWW and the Wobblies as separate groups. This can't be real.
Our family doesn't buy usless crap. No matter where it is made. We choose to live a sustainable life style AND be conservative in all that we do. It is our God given right to make those types of choices and we will fight for those rights for everyone. Even you.
BTW, the only dreams around here seem to come from YOUR pipe dreams. Do you get your stash from China?
Careful mentioning "independent" to the right-wing echo chamber; Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, and other GOP media celebrities all say they are "independents"
Now they are really confused.
Nope, these pro-cop, pro-troop (pro-government) useful idiots are the like Tory Loyalists of the 1770s.
I prefer my freedom to be a little more profound than "freedom to choose where I shop." I'm already overwhelmed by the number of choices when I try to buy toothpaste or dish soap. There are only 3 companies that make those products, but somehow there are dozens of brands.
Forgive me if I don't believe in a "God given right" to choose between Coke & Pepsi. Why would an invisible giant care what sugar water I drink? In the US, consumerism is religion unto itself, can't imagine any Supreme Being appreciating that too much.
Since 9/11, China has made billions from people who believe that buying something with the US flag (Shroud of Morons) defeats terror. But then Dubya did tell us to shop…
I'm glad your family doesn't buy useless crap. Wish I could say the same about mine, or myself for that matter. My better half has pretty much banned me from dollar stores.
"Stash" production is the last hope for the US to compete with China as far as commerce goes, since cannabis is the #1 cash crop in the US.
As I said, I will fight against anyone that threatens this great country. The home of all God given rights first laid out in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Even you.
"(Shroud of Morons)" indeed. You are beyond hope.
I don't want to tell you want to do, but you may want to build a time machine and take out Ronald Reagan, who has done more to destroy the documents you mention in my lifetime. Letting your imaginary friend and his zombie son run the show sounds very similar to what the Taliban and bin Laden want.
"Constitutionalism," as someone once said, is truly "the white man's ghost dance."
I don't care if flag-suckers say "under God" when they recite the Pledge, since addressing characters from Middle Eastern mythology is par for the course when you are talking to a piece of fabric. Crazy stuff.
I feel like I should be paying you for this much entertainment.
Are you stupid? What do you mean who pays for the anarchists? To do what? To get a bus ticket? Why would someone have to be wealthy to get a bus ticket, some black clothes, and maybe some goggles? I have never gotten one of these rioting checks, and Ive been at numerous of these events. Who pays for Tea Partiers to go to Tea Parties? The Saudi government? Glenn Beck? : P
By the way this is one of the funniest, stupidest articles I have ever seen. The person's whole argument is absurd, and he doesnt understand the goals of direct action; or what direct action even is. If any of you take this seriously you are just going to confuse yourselves.
Wow.
Um:
- Hitler used conservatives. They used to get into bloody fights with communists AND socialists. "National Socialism" is about as socialistic as "The People's Republic of China" is a republic.
- Mao hung anarchists.
Oh, and no one has ever heard of "DAT". Which means they're not doing a lot , are they.
Why do I even bother? You're just going to believe Fox News anyway.
I don't have to watch FOX for information, it's commonly know as history.
Go read a book.
You are a one-stop insult machine, "Trolinator." Lulz.
Wow – there are people who actually take Teh Anarchist Clown-Show seriously besides the Black Flag Bozozs themselves? Enjoy your fail. Anarchists are attention-whoring ignoroids that most leftists laugh at behind their backs – & sometimes to their faces. They are to the left what the LaRouchites are to the Tea Party: parasites dangling from a movement that lacks the fortitude or the means to burn them off for good.
Wobblies, not so much: do you like little things like medical leave, overtime & vacations? Thank a Wobbly. Year in & year out, an awful lot of those people got jailed &/or stomped – & a few of them got killed – back in that primitive era when labor-unions were seen as identical to Communism, so that everyone could enjoy those "frivolous luxuries" while employed.
"If you love peace prepare for war."
AN ETERNAL ARMS-RACE = PEACE FOREVER & EVER!
Yeah, don't let any leftist conspiracies like reality or logic get in the way – after all, that plan worked GRRRREAT back in the 1910's & 1930's, amirite?
By "left" do you mean the Democratic party? That's as close to a relevant left as there is in the US and they are right of Richard Nixon at this stage. The alphabet soup of Jehovah-Leninist newspaper vendors and their latest front/splinter group make up what's left of the rotting corpse of authoritarian socialism are even less relevant than the capital "L" libertarians, and that's saying something.
Many Wobblies were (and are) anarchists, despite the best efforts of the Communist Party USA to control their union. This was long ago when the CP was relevant. The CP-USA, like the Mormons, is fond of "converting" the dead to their beliefs. They have been trying to claim the Haymarket anarchists, who were hung for trying to win the 8 hour day, for years.
I'm embarrassing myself, but you are invoking the magic powers of a document, that beginning with Ronald Reagan, and continuing with every successive president, has been systematically destroyed?
Sincerely, I wish that those freedoms were guaranteed, but in my experience they are not. Even if they were, the constitution offers the individual has no protection from corporations, who somehow have the status of an individual person when it suits their purposes.
I believed in the magic of the US constitution, too, but it only took a handful of cops in a few separate incidents, to convince me that what I believed didn't matter in those cases. Between the War on (certain) Drugs and the War on (some) Terror, those rights are gone. Governments exist outside of their own laws; especially the bureaucrats with guns, such as cops and military personnel.
Calling it the American Revolution is a misnomer, and not just the American part. What happened in the late 1700s was not a revolution, since the changes were purely political, not social or economic. The British elites were overthrown in a coup by the Colonial elites, with varying levels of popular support. This was great for the Colonial elites, er Founding Fathers, but it probably did not change the day-to-life of everyone else, other than extending slavery.
Washington, like Lenin, did not tolerate dissent. Here in Western Pennsylvania, Washington commanded a force as large as the entire Continental Army that fought the Redcoats, to quash the Whiskey Rebellion, since it threatened his own whiskey business. The use of military force by the elites to protect their economic interests is nothing new, though.
This is easy! Just look for the old white people who are on Social Security and Medicare!
I think the poster was talking about history, but not the revised history that US right-wing celebrities are pushing in an effort to throw their old friend, Hitler, under the bus and pretend that they weren't the leaders in Antisemitism, until very recently. The WWII vets I've talked to about this are appalled.
A good way to understand the left-right politics of the 20th century is to look at the Spanish Civil War, the dress rehearsal for WWII:
Right-wing side-nationalists, royalists, clergy, and air support from Nazi Germany, and the US and UK gov'ts continued to supply Franco
Left-wing side-social democrats, trade unions, socialists/communists, and anarchists (who were betrayed and attacked by the Stalinists) with support from the USSR.
It was all so simple and clear until the fringes of corporate media tried to quietly divorce the reactionary nationalists in the US from the reactionary nationalists in WWII Germany.
Reminds me of the study that showed that right-wingers believed Stephen Colbert was only pretending to joke and believes that nonsense. http://hij.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/14/2/...
What a rubbishy article, filled with logical leaps and sweeping statements. Obviously this person knows nothing about anarchist groups and anarchist themselves. These groups want NOTHING to do with the Democratic party and mainstream progressive groups, because they seem then as part of the problem, just like the Republican party.
And the respondents to this article repeat the same "George Soros." "radical left-wing" cliches that I see at every right-wing website. It's always the same with not an ounce of originality. What's to be expected coming from the ConservaFoxbots.
The sad hypocrisy, through, is when the Right condemns anti-war and left-wing protesters while celebrating Teabaggers as being the only "true Americans."
BTW, if ANYONE has been a terrorist, it is the American right-wing, as evident by the right-wing violence over the last few years, especially those aimed at abortion clinics. But, hey, no surprise there . . .We have entered a new state of neo-McCarthyism and red baiting from the American Right/
It's disgusting. Sorry, but America does NOT only belong to your ideological ilk. I know you hate to share this country with liberals and minorities (as evident by the "Puerto Rico statehood" articles on this site), but YOU do NOT own America.
And thank goodness for that.
