Move Over MoveOn

Posted by: Rob Bluey In: Politics

It seems everyone wants to capitalize on MoveOn’s attack ad on Gen. David Petraeus. Today’s New York Times features a full-page ad from Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani that documents the liberal smears of the highly decorated four-star general.

And then there’s this: “General Eisenhower or General Lies and Power.” It’s a mock ad on RedState that has one of the most clever things I’ve seen all week. It’s a good thing MoveOn wasn’t around during World War II or we might be living under Nazi-led dictatorship.

[...] director for the Heritage Foundation and RedState, TownHall, etc. contributor Robert Bluey goes with all of the above (and I guess they all think the “MoveOn” puns are really clever and witty. [...]

The Remodeling Of America

As we watched the Senate hearings on the Iraq report play out, you got to see and hear just what the Dem’s are all about.

We are a nation predicated upon freedom and upon personal liberty. We are a nation predicated upon the right of the individual to seek liberty and happiness. We are a people who sought, and who still seek, to be free from outside interferences by anyone, even from those in our own government. We are a nation of individuality. We are a nation of achievers. We are a nation of people who take responsibility for our own achievements, as well as for our own failures. We have always been, however, a people who never give up. We never allow any thing to defeat us. We are a nation of farmers; ranchers, merchants, teachers, warriors and much more.

Today, we have forgotten our beginnings. Instead of Americans having a shared vision for America, we have become a divided nation. A nation full of individuals and of groups, each of which has their own vision for their own individual futures. We are, however, a nation that once had an immutable vision for us all Americans a vision that we all once shared together at one time, no more.

The Democrats have a vision and decided to allow an extreme socialist, Marxist liberal group, MoveOn.org, to become the buyer of the Democrat Party. Why? That‚Äôs who they are and socialism is there vision. The question to be asked is about the future of this country whether it will be freedom or socialism. This message was clear when Senate Democrats objected on the floor of the Senate to a resolution to denounce the despicable ad calling Gen. Petraeus a traitor. Make no mistake — MoveOn.org owns the Democrat Party.

‚ÄúWe bought it, we own it, and we‚Äôre going to take it back.‚Äù Those are the now infamous words spoken by MoveOn.org founder Eli Pariser when speaking about the Democrat Party after the 2004 elections. ‚ÄúWe own it.‚Äù Make no mistake — MoveOn.org owns the Democrat Party. ‚ÄúWe bought it.‚Äù And how did MoveOn.org buy the Democrat Party? Campaign donations, of course. MoveOn.org has routed hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars to Democrats and they show no signs of slowing down. Congressman Tom Allen of Maine has accepted over $250,000 in donations through MoveOn.org alone. So it‚Äôs not surprising that Tom Allen has been deafeningly silent on this issue. Apparently the prospect of campaign funds is enough of an incentive for Democrats to stand idly by while a respected General is maligned before the country he has committed his life to protecting.

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is power and money that it values more, it will lose that too in time.

Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.” –Samuel Adams

“It is said that ‘power corrupts,’ but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.” –David Brin

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our country men. –Samuel Adams

MoveOn.org – Democrats are working overtime to Re-model society.
A good example is in her speech; Hillary reiterated the theme that has been at the heart of her political vision from the start: “We are at a stage in history in which remolding society is one of the great challenges facing all of us in the West.

“This is the terminology of a utopian socialist. Hillary’s ideology is an amalgam of New Left Marxism and grievance feminism, the kind of unwholesome stew that is commonplace on elite college campuses to day.Hillary Clinton claims we are “ready” for a new way. (My Ass)

First Lady, Hillary’s official website proclaims that “America is ready for universal health care.

If we still believe in the fundamental principles on which this country was founded liberty, self-reliance, and limited government — we must resist the song and dance of socialized medicine.

After the health care industry, MoveOn.org – Democrats has set there sights on the energy industry, which literally drives the economy, indeed our entire way of life.

Of course, socialist like Hillary and MoveOn.org – Democrats believe that the American way of life is selfish, excessive, and wasteful. So they believe that ordinary Americans should be required by the government to make sacrifices, e.g., by mandating the kinds of cars people drive and the size of house you will live in and so no.

I believe that the 2008 election will be a referendum all right, not on the War in Iraq or taxes, but on whether the future of this country lies in freedom or socialism. We will be governed or be ruled by the bayonet. It is in the people hands.

Do you people even crack your history books?

First, it was the isolationist right, not the left, that opposed entry into World War II. Y’know, like Senator Taft? The Left had been itching to fight the Nazis since at least 1936.

Second, George Marshall, not Ike, was in charge of war planning. He made the decision to take out Germany first.

Three, Eisenhower knew a clusterfuk when he saw one – which is why he got us out of Korea.

Just saw two helicopters flying over Thurmont, MD. I wonder if the Obamas are visiting Camp David?
