Liberals Rearrange Deck Chairs


Liberals in Denial About the Reason for their Failure

Flashback to March, 2009: the White House unveils an unprecedented effort. Rather than allowing President Obama’s campaign organization to hibernate for four years, the DNC turns Obama for America into Organizing for America – a permanent campaign that will push aggressively for enactment of the Obama agenda.

The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee opened a new chapter Saturday in their ambitious project to convert the energy from last year’s campaign into a force for legislative reform on health care, climate change, education and taxes.

More than 1,200 groups from Maine to Hawaii spent the day gathering signatures in support of Obama’s economic plan, the first step in building what the White House hopes will be a standing political army ready to do battle.

Seeking to create a grass-roots force on a scale never seen before, Obama called the volunteers into action in a video message reminiscent of the 2008 contest. In defense of his budget, under attack from many quarters, he asked his supporters to go “block by block and door by door.”

In his Saturday radio address, Obama called his budget “an economic blueprint for our future.” He said, “I didn’t come here to pass on our problems to the next president or the next generation. I came here to solve them.”

The idea of deploying a grass-roots army for legislative purposes is untested. Unlike a political campaign, where ballots are simple, if blunt, instruments that produce winners and losers on a fixed date, a policy campaign is amorphous.

“If successful, it would have revolutionary implications for American politics,” said Ross K. Baker, a Rutgers University political science professor who counts himself among skeptics. “You can generate an enormous amount of support for an individual personality. It’s much harder to do that for a piece of legislation…”

One hope is that local media will expand the message’s reach by reporting on the canvassing drives. To spread the word, former campaign manager David Plouffe and OFA Director Mitch Stewart e-mailed 13 million people on the 2008 campaign list and asked for help.

So in March, 2009, the ‘army’ assembled by President Obama to push for big government liberalism counted 13 million people in its ranks. And President Obama’s campaign team was sett to mobilize them to push the president’s agenda. The verdict on this effort was rendered by hundreds of townhalls and millions of angry phone calls. Opponents of big government were far better organized and far more motivated than were its supporters. So in a matter of months, we saw a new effort to organize the supporters or more taxes and spending:

Furious at the tempest over the Tea Party — the scattershot citizen uprising against big government and wild spending — Annabel Park did what any American does when she feels her voice has been drowned out: She squeezed her anger into a Facebook status update.

let’s start a coffee party . . . smoothie party. red bull party. anything but tea. geez. ooh how about cappuccino party? that would really piss ‘em off bec it sounds elitist . . . let’s get together and drink cappuccino and have real political dialogue with substance and compassion.

Friends replied, and more friends replied. So last month, in her Silver Spring apartment, Park started a fan page called “Join the Coffee Party Movement.” Within weeks, her inbox and page wall were swamped by thousands of comments from strangers in diverse locales, such as the oil fields of west Texas and the suburbs of Chicago.

I have been searching for a place of refuge like this for a long while. . . . It is not Us against the Govt. It is democracy vs corporatocracy . . . I just can’t believe that the Tea Party speaks for all patriotic Americans. . . . Just sent suggestions to 50 friends . . . I think it’s time we start a chapter right here in Tucson . . .

The snowballing response made her the de facto coordinator of Coffee Party USA, with goals far loftier than its oopsy-daisy origin: promote civility and inclusiveness in political discourse, engage the government not as an enemy but as the collective will of the people, push leaders to enact the progressive change for which 52.9 percent of the country voted in 2008.

The New York Times, Huffington Post, CBS News, the Washington Post, liberals blogs – all told us that the Coffee Party would be the counterbalance to the Tea Party. They said that this movement in support of progressive change would be the next big thing. But despite fawning treatment from the media, the Coffee Party seems to have fizzled.

So now it’s time for something new — ‘One Nation:’

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, the “tea party” movement must be honored.

In an effort to replicate the tea party’s success, 170 liberal and civil rights groups are forming a coalition that they hope will match the movement’s political energy and influence. They promise to “counter the tea party narrative” and help the progressive movement find its voice again after 18 months of floundering.

The large-scale attempt at liberal unity, dubbed “One Nation,” will try to revive themes that energized the progressive grassroots two years ago. In a repurposing of Barack Obama’s old campaign slogan, organizers are demanding “all the change” they voted for — a poke at the White House.

What are the odds this proves more successful than the previous efforts?

The advocates of big government are desperately trying to convince themselves that what they need is better organization. They look at declining poll numbers, job losses, a growing deficit, looming tax increases, a dispirited base, angry independents, and energized opposition, and conclude that they needed better committee structures. They won’t admit to themselves that their extreme agenda destroyed their ‘army.’ The energized progressives and pro-Obama independents are pretty much gone now – destroyed by the failures of a White House that sees every problem as an excuse to push for more government.

Here’s a hint to ‘One Nation:’ you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If you want to win supporters, first try to convince liberals in Washington to make an effort to appear competent. And while you’re at it, try to convince them that not every initiative demands more taxpayer money. Until you distance yourself from an agenda that’s radioactive, your efforts will fall short.

Big Government on is seeking total transformation of America. They are “floundering” because they refused to listen or even understand the American people. I hope they drown in the cold coffee and days old coffee grounds.

Every turn and move they have made, the people see failure not success. Americans are not used to failure–in fact it goes again one of the core character traits of the American people. The one called “can do.” Nothing has changed in the centuries old motivation of those that stream into this nation, legal or otherwise, they come with purpose and heart for a better life than that which they left behind. As long as that exists, we have a chance to fight those that would return us to enslavement of mind, spirit, and body.

It seems as if the democrats are trying to bury this part of the Gettysburg
Address.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Or any reference to God.

johnCV (Diary) Saturday, July 10th at 4:23PM EST (link)

and better marketing of their message of ‘You suck and we despise everything you stand for’ will not improve the outreach of the 0bamunists.

According to the coffee lady

…push leaders to enact the progressive change for which 52.9 percent of the country voted in 2008.

The Leftists have made a profound error in interpreting the election results. They understood the coded language 0bama used in describing his agenda. They knew what ‘change’ meant.
A large part of that 52.9% of the nation did not understand what he meant. They took 0bama at face value and trusted that no one running for President would mean to harm this nation. They are now starting to figure it out.
It’s rather sad that Coffee Lady still believes that 52.9% of the nation wanted the socialist/statist agenda 0bama specifically did not run on. I hope she/they continue with their quest to get the message out.

They seem to have forgotten how tenaciously the candidate oversold his bogus commitment to fiscal conservatism.

We can assume that at least half of the independents who helped push Him over the finish line believed his bait and switch campaign blather. Today, 70% of indies are against Him, and are likely in no mood to be fooled again. One Bloviation will be hard pressed to find the message that will reunite moderates with the new socialists now that they’ve come out of the closet.

It’ll be fun watching them try.

A couple of suggestions for “all the change” their candidate could recommit to:

Post-partisan cooperation
No tax increases for anyone making less than 250K
Going line by line through any budget to cut waste
No earmarks
“Restore” science to its proper place in government
Five day public viewing of any big legislation prior to final vote
Fully open and transparent debating, no backroom deal making

What they will never accept is that the people with their hands out accepting what Barry has to offer are by nature LAZY. They are glad to get whatever political winds may blow their way, but that is the end of it. They aren’t going to do a damned thing for Barry or anyone else, as such people, quite possibly more so than any other segment of the population, recognize Obama as exactly what he is, and know there is no point in lifting a finger to help a fraud.

 

I cannot begin to say how EXCITING this election is...

because these idiots think they can bring back what was “magical” in 08. They are so DEAF that they cannot even see that they have lost that magic feeling. I always smile when I see someone write about how they “mis-read” the election results. they did and then they proceeded to do what Republicans did and that was IGNORE what WE The People were saying and somehow they thought and you know they did that the RUBES would ignore all of the spending and spending and spending and still not blame them. Their impression of the people of America is one of ignorance WE are about show them that their ignorance will be their downfall!

The Europeans were taken with Obama being President of the US

JSobieski (Diary) Saturday, July 10th at 7:48PM EST (link)

which is different than saying they were taken with him generally. Basically, people looking for a weaker/less assertive were US were taken by Obama. Moreover, most places have an even more biased left wing MSM and less alternative media like talk radio, websites like Redstate, etc.

My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.

STOP THE MADNESS!

A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!
In-state tuition for illegals is NOT amnesty!
Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!

They have to keep the revolution going. They have to keep the followers “revved up” with something new all the time. If they don’t the followers will see the failures and not follow any more.

This is why IRAN has the revolutionary guards.

The happy part is that after “rev-ving” so many times, you run out of gas.

Another aspect of this “One Nation conglomeration of lefty organizations is that many of the members have membership in multiple organizations. They are by definition activists. This means that together, there aren’t as many followers as the membership numbers would suggest. I submit, that at the core, without all of their clothes on, are really a very few naked loons.

There are a lot of naked loons

Air America, Resuscitated. The Zombies.

The big problem with liberals getting together to talk about liberal views to a mass audience is that the instant they start speaking, everyone realizes what a bunch of neurotic totalitarians they are, and how deeply and completely they want to control and tax everything that walks, swims, runs, breathes, eats, craps, or crawls. Jon Stewart has been the Left’s Rush Limbaugh, and who can stand watching him except the clueless? Bill Maher appropriated being politically incorrect so he could mouth off for himself, but that’s about all. I have a brain-damaged aunt who professes to love him and I think: “Has your brain really turned to cobwebs that quickly?”

First of all, our entire nomenclature is WRONG. The people we call “liberal progressives” today are not “liberals”, nor are they “progressives” in the sense of actual progress. What they are, really, are “Statist Lawyers.”

It’s about time they started being called “Statist Lawyers” because that is precisely what they are. They’re absolutely dedicated to the proposition that the Declaration of Independence was really about growing the federal government to the point that Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are be strictly regulated and controlled according to the needs of the State as articulated through leftist pressure groups, and that is what they are absolutely going to do if they can.

Meanwhile, Hillary and Bill Clinton are moving into a mansion they’re buying from a bankrupt real-estate mogul. They’re going to be living in that house like the next Queen and King of the United States, which is exactly how they think of themselves and their neighbors.

kowalski (Diary) Saturday, July 10th at 7:07PM EST (link)

But let’s never underestimate the power of Americans to have absolutely no idea about what’s going on at all, and who is who, and what their different views really represent. Lakoff has shown quite conclusively I think that most of the people don’t care about politics in terms of political theory or history or abstract concepts like liberty, or an understanding of the Constitution or anything like that at all. They care about it in terms of narrative, in terms of stories they’re being told, things that sound good to them, that switch around and are written according to the needs their minders perceive at any time.

Politics in Lakoff’s terms are the story of the story, and he’s been amazingly persuasive to people in our intellectual establishment, at least the one dominant right now, and the one running our country and informing our media. Anyone who watches the media closely on a day to day basis can see the deliberate attempts to move the narrative. It’s almost an exception to the rule these days to do otherwise.

And a lot of Americans have become so illiterate

kowalski (Diary) Saturday, July 10th at 7:14PM EST (link)

And a lot of Americans have become so illiterate and incapable of understanding the ramifications of ideas that they will listen to Lakoff’s fairy tales without complaint, because they just aren’t used to the kind of real intellectual discussion it requires to take them apart. And that’s what the progressives are counting on: the dumber the better.

We have become an illiterate society.

Achance (Diary) Sunday, July 11th at 5:59AM EST (link)

Even those who can nominally read and write can’t do anything effective with that ability. Hell, I have college-educated kids who can’t write an email that I can descipher without calling them and querying them about what they were really talking about. And this in a house with two very literate parents who made them talk to us at the dinner table every night; think what it is like where that didn’t happen.

They’re being taught the way pre-literate societies were taught; it is all by rote. They live in the world of sounds and soundbites. We haven’t done that thinking stuff in the better part of fifty years. There are of course exceptions but the majority, at least 52% is simply incapable of dealing with any issue at more than a visual and emotional level.

What is hilarous -

izoneguy (Diary) Saturday, July 10th at 6:14PM EST (link)

Is that Obama keeps saying how the Republicans drove the economy into the ditch…..

Sure when the democrats who took control in 2006 lurched over and grabbed the steering wheel….

And it really went south during the 2008 election when it looked like we would get Obummer or Hillary….

Most everyone I knew pulled out of the stock market in the spring of 08
waiting for the fall. The democrats won’t give us the keys so we will just have to jack it back like they did.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

With Fannie/Freddie back-stopping roughly half of the mortgage issuance with poorly scrutinized underwriting (no risk to mortgage issuers & no credit risk to investors of agency- guaranteed MBS) along with an issuance of a third of the sub-prime mkt, the Dems–through their GSE advocacy–played a huge role in causing the credit crisis.

It's not a winning idea

Adjoran (Diary) Sunday, July 11th at 2:04AM EST (link)

Liberals don’t win elections in most places by being themselves. They pretend instead to be far more moderate and bipartisan than they really are, and “fiscally responsible” (which they almost never are).

When liberals gather together to talk liberal issues and be themselves, just the sight of the gathering is enough to repel most moderates and independents. They aren’t selling anything anyone wants to buy, so they have to disguise it as something quite different – “A New Beginning” or “Hope and Change”, the sort of rhetorical constructs not so easily defined but evoking positive feelings from the listener – to win elections.

Hard to see how setting forth a new ultra-liberal group upon the American consciousness can possibly help them, but when you only know a few tricks, you always get back to the same old ones.

“Here’s a hint to ‘One Nation:’ you can’t squeeze blood from a stone.” To take another look at Brian’s comment…the “Coffee Party” isn’t trying to “squeeze blood”…because they know that they have no “blood”… NO, they are trying to squeeze the life’s blood from others who have worked for what they have and give it to those who would rather stand around with their hands out!

The TEA’s message is relevant to the preservation of the Republic. It is these people who have learned the “work ethic” that carry’s this country forward… NOT the “entitlement attitude” of the Coffee’s who seek a handout in exchange for their vote. The vote that the Liberals need to stay in power rather than (paraphrasing) “winning supporters, by make an effort to appear competent.”

What a shock it will be to the Coffee’s when they wake up and realize the source of their handouts have run dry…the Golden Goose has been slain and they have exchanged liberty for the shackles of true poverty that they could have worked themselves out of rather than depend on the crumbs the Libs toss them as they pocket the real loot they have plundered for themselves (anyone seen a Lib spread his own “wealth around?…certainly not Al Gore, Soros, Obama, Biden, Union Exec’s…).

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

I that can be a common sight for Ciro D Rodriguez

Not the nicest guy in the world. I had to deal with mouth too many times and had him for a congressman twice(in both the 28th and 23rd Congressional districts). I would have loved to be fly on the wall of Don Pedro’s Mexican restraunt on SW Military Drive that day. I once saw him walking in an Exxon on SW Military many months after losing a primary to Henry Cuellar. He wasn’t all that happy then.
