What would those obnoxious children do if they were told <em>they<\/em> are the right-wing extremists? The horror!!<\/p>\n<p>Almost nine years ago, in the face of the ACA, President Obama took this chilling message one step further, actually encouraging Americans to report on those who were spreading \u201cdisinformation about health insurance reform.\u201d\u00a0 Anything being done publicly that hinted at disagreement with that policy was labeled \u2018mob action\u2019. As the author, James Whitehead, says the Obama administration was trying to stop a resistance movement. We all knew the ACA was going to do more harm than good and we were right.<\/p>\n<p>And who was He, The One, to say we could <em>not<\/em> resist it? In 2013, because he allowed sequestration to go into effect instead of doing the job he was hired to do, he pissed off people all over the country in many, many ways, one of them being blocking access to national monuments by putting out crowd barriers, and national parks by blocking views from public highways, just because he could. Remember that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, here we are, not quite nine long years later and we\u2019re facing the same thing, except that this time, the mob action is coming from the left side of the political fence, from that part of the Leftreds loaded with spoiled brat children who think that somehow they are entitled to \u201cstuff\u201d without earning any of it. As with bodaprez, the Leftreds leave no stone untouched (<em>eeeww!<\/em>) to try to put the blame on the Right, when in fact, <em>we have little if anything to do with any of this<\/em>. They lie, they cheat, they milk it for everything they can get, they fall all over themselves to grab the spotlight and almost pound the table with a shoe, like Krushchev once did at the UN, to emphasize that we, the peace-loving, patriotic, country bumpkins that we are, carry the entire load of blame for the behavior of crazy people who have nothing to do with us. False crocodile tears aside, it is slowly but surely becoming a sort of Theater of the Absurd.<\/p>\n<p>We, as a group, cannot afford to be complacent. We cannot expect peace and quiet unless we make it happen, and if we don\u2019t keep a watchful eye on the horizon at 360\u00b0, something like this social \u201cphenomenon\u201d will show up again on our doorsteps and try to run over us roughshod, at the same time. Because, you see, in the view of these children who\u2019ve been on this planet for less time than my aging Himmie, we don\u2019t have any rights any more, or at least, we shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>The issue this time is not about resisting the government\u2019s edicts, which we do all the time, anyway. It\u2019s about facing another episode of disruption, this time by sloppy, obnoxious, ill-mannered, virtue-signaling, attention-whoring, nearly illiterate teens whose understanding of reality is tenuous, at best. It does not help that greedy, grasping, self-absorbed politicians egg them on by pandering to them while trying to scare law-abiding citizens like us. Most of them aren\u2019t even old enough to vote, and my money says they won\u2019t vote unless they get paid to do it.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Twigs who gathered here and there on Sunday in protest of GUN (violence) have no staying power. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. Rien. They had a good point \u2013 that the violence is out of control \u2013 but just who <em>is it that is committing the majority of these violent acts?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, frankly, <em>they are<\/em>. And they <em>know<\/em> that they are the perps, especially in the Parkland case, but they have to try to hide it by doing that silly virtue signaling so that they\u2019re separate from The Mob.<\/p>\n<p>The shooter in at a ball park in Alexandria, VA, last year was not a GOPer. He was a leftwing political activist, remember? The Parkland shooter was a mental case with frequent calls and complaints against him, remember? And what happened to Florida\u2019s Baker Act there? And the Pulse nightclub shooter? His wife helped him in his effort to commit mass murder and is now on trial for that. His father admired the Taliban. I don\u2019t see any right-wingers in there, do you?<\/p>\n<p>These tweenies howling for \u201csafety\u201d wanted our attention. They always want attention. All those street demonstrations last winter were attention-whoring, nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think they can outdo what they did this time, because it is not really about guns. It\u2019s about throwing tantrums and &#8220;crying&#8221; on camera to get attention. If this is supposed to be some sort of resistance movement, its legs are stumpy and weak. It has no staying power. In fact, I have no idea what they\u2019re resisting. There is no verifiable message there. They just tack themselves onto the most recent \u201cthing\u201d and go with that. And some of them can cry on cue. What actresses they are!<\/p>\n<p>Well, now they\u2019ve got our attention. All eyes are on them, and it is not in a positive way. Their fa\u00e7ade of virtue-signaling is cracking and peeling and falling apart.\u00a0The facts about their\u00a0fabrications and excuses keep coming to light in what one can only term a completely embarrassing way.\u00a0When the lights are out, the microphones are shut off and the TV cameras are gone, no one is paying attention to anything they say or do.<\/p>\n<p>So what are they going to do next?<\/p>\n<p>Just keep your eyes peeled and ears open. I would not put anything past them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I knew that if I looked hard enough and far enough, I would find something interesting, &hellip; <a title=\"We&#8217;re Extremists?
