Taking Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” To a New Level

In case you haven’t heard by now, Rush Limbaugh has launched a Para-military style public campaign in an effort to affect the outcome of the Democratic Party primary.

Rush has urged his listeners to legally switch party affiliations to participate in “Operation Chaos”, designed to get his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton which serves two purposes. First, it keeps Hillary Clinton in the race or winning in future primaries and second keeps the Democratic Party involved in what can only be described as political chaos.

Well Bruce Walker has raised an interesting question in his latest article that, if it ever happened, would cause total chaos and possibly destroy the party whose symbol is a Jackass.

Why Don’t We All Become Democrats

Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” raises an interesting question. The Left has occupied the Democrat Party, which has purchased the souls of large groups of Americans – blacks, Hispanics, feminists – and yet the word “liberal” is passionately rejected by all Democrats. The political parties have been democratized completely: no one can keep anyone from participating completely in the Republican or Democrat parties.

This raises an interesting theoretical question: Why don’t we all simply become Democrats? The Left has smeared the Republican Party with racism so much that any Republican candidate automatically starts with ten percent of the popular vote against him. Add to the black vote a significant share of the Hispanic and Asian vote, which also has been indoctrinated into believing that Republicans are evil, and the natural electoral advantage of just have “Democrat” in front of your name is worth anywhere from fifteen percent to twenty percent of the national vote. It is amazing that Republicans ever win.

If all Republicans became Democrats, then the stigma of being a “Republican” would go away. That would mean that the electoral battles would become primary battles – and not just in the presidential race. Senators, governors, congressmen and state legislators are chosen by primaries. If the whole American electorate were within a single political party, then primaries would be extremely competitive.

The problem for current Democrats in this situation is that Americans overwhelmingly consider themselves to be conservatives, not liberals. This is why no Democrat, even Obama, calls himself a “liberal.” That would mean that conservatives, as Democrats, could advocate conservative policies without fear. No Democrat is going to say “I am a liberal Democrat and my primary opponent is a conservative Democrat” – at least not in the vast majority of the states.

Conservative Democrats who were also religious could have an enormous edge in winning the black and Hispanic vote in Democrat primaries as well. So, two constituencies which have traditionally been alienated from Republicans and conservatives could find common cause with both if the Republicans became, magically, Democrats and if the social conservative principles of these two strongly religious minorities were joined with the conservative “Democrat” candidate.

Moreover, there conservative “Democrats” could run well against snooty white elites like Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and Dean, who have nothing in common with ordinary Americans except the fact that they are Democrats, and so are presumed to be the friend of the working man or woman. Imagine, for example, how a charismatic conservative like Michael Steele or J.C. Watts could do if running as Democrats against elitist Leftists like Clinton or Kerry.

These sorts of Democrats have proven enormously popular. Zell Miller, for example, is probably the most popular politician in Georgia. Joe Lieberman, although not exactly a conservative, was nevertheless able to win re-election as an “independent Democrat” even after he lost the Democrat primary.

The whole nature of Congress would change as well. If the Democrat caucuses had conservative majorities, then all the leadership positions would be held by conservatives as well. The committee chairmen, the Speakership and all the other coveted positions would be held by conservatives, albeit Democrats. The same would be true for the national party organization. The DNC would start espousing conservative principles. The battles over ideology and policies would all be fought within the Democrat Party and there would be no “Republicans” to blame at all in those battles. What would Leftists do? How could they fight a real battle on policies, when so few people agree with their policies?

Another consequence would be that the rump Republican Party would survive, and that anytime the Left took over the Democrat Party for one election cycle, the Republican Party could have a miraculous rebirth and all the conservative Democrats could switch and vote Republican.

Republicans are a scapegoat for the failures of Democrat policies; they have been for many decades. Perhaps the best way to defang this toxin in politics is for the good guys to take over the Democrat Party and leave the Democrats with the Green Party or the Liberal Party or the Communist Party as their vehicle for political expression. As Operation Chaos succeeds, it is something worth thinking about.

Hillary’s wardrobe malfunction verbal malfunction regarding landing in Bosnia under sniper fire and having to run for cover really requires the willing suspension of disbelief.

Anyway this video may prove she wasn’t lying and should clear things up quite nicely! I guess that depends on what the meaning of the word lying is.

Army Veteran Tossed From Clinton Rally After Heckling Impeached Ex-President Bill Clinton

In my opinion calling Bill Clinton a “liar” does not qualify as heckling.

For nearly seven years, when he was president, Clinton haphazardly gutted our military and drew down its forces. At the same time, he surrendered decisions about the deployment of those forces to worthless multilateral agencies like the United Nations and NATO. That pushed us into conflicts where the relevance to America’s national interests was not always clear, and to military objectives that were often not matched with the political will to carry them out. That, in turn, resulted in the spectacle of American forces lobbing bombs at hostile targets like Serbia and Iraq, inflicting just enough damage to entrench their aggressive leaders further into power, while blackening our national image in the eyes of ever-larger populations across the globe.

Let’s face it, time and again; Clinton attempted to assert military superiority on the political cheap. The more men and women like Rick Brown are able to confront Clinton the better.

PA Vet Tossed Out of Clinton Rally

An army veteran was hauled away by secret service agents from a Clinton rally for disputing former president Bill Clinton’s claim that his wife, Hillary, would make a “great commander-in-chief.”

Last Wednesday, Rick Brown, a Pennsylvania resident and a 1973 graduate of West Point, attended a Hillary Clinton town hall meeting in Bethlehem, PA, a community 70-miles north of Philadelphia. Former president Bill Clinton was the featured speaker who arrived an hour and a half late to promote his wife’s credentials for the presidency. That state’s presidential primary is scheduled for April 22nd.

Twenty-minutes into Clinton’s speech Brown, a five-year army veteran, said he had heard enough and shouted his question. Clinton had claimed that there were 34 general officers who endorse Hillary for president and that she would make a “great commander-in-chief.”

Brown, whose son is a junior at West Point, interrupted Clinton to ask whether Hillary, if elected, would gut the military. Brown later explained that he wanted to dispel the myth that Hillary would make a “great commander-in-chief.” After all, Brown explained, “Bill Clinton had gutted the military during his term in office” which left the nation unprepared after the attacks on September 11, 2001.

“And you gutted our military. You’re a liar,” shouted Brown as he was escorted from the packed hotel ballroom. Brown, 56, explained, “It’s good the secret service got me out of there.” The room was filled with “Hillary lovers” and it could have “gotten ugly.”

Clinton made light of Brown’s remarks: “You know, whenever you find somebody screaming, it’s normally because they don’t have the facts on their side.”

“I thought they’d let me be quiet (and sit down) and [Clinton would] answer the question,” Brown said. But “I got my point out; he didn’t answer.”

Local press reports indicate that Clinton responded to Brown’s question by claiming that “In every respect, military readiness was greater when I left office than it is today.” “The Republicans gutted the military,” Clinton asserted.

Brown says that he “cringes that the Clintons might once again be in charge of the military.” “Military personnel can’t trust the Clintons to represent the facts to the public,” claims Brown. He fears the Clintons will put the military in dangerous situations and then blame the generals if things go wrong.

His only regret, Brown explained, is that what had been a lukewarm reception for Clinton became a “stirred up and passionate crowd” after the confrontation.

College Democrats Petition Quickie Burger Because Of Logo

Liberal hypocrisy rears its ugly head again. Liberals want freedom of speech, but a burger joint should be censored? It is ironic that a group that could be considered borderline offensive to some conservative groups is running around being the morality police in a town known for being very liberal.

Burger joint’s name, logo irks LGBT group

When the owners of Quickie Burger and Dogs chose their logo, they thought it would make patrons crave an order of chili cheese fries. But the logo, a busty woman in a tight shirt straddling a hamburger, has drawn criticism from campus groups.

The newest addition to the South State Street landscape has caused a stir on campus with its brightly colored logo, which some believe is offensive.

The restaurant, which opened two weeks ago, sits south of campus at the intersection of State and Hill streets. Adorning the blue awning above the restaurant next to its name is an image of a cowgirl riding a hamburger.

The Stonewall Democrats, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender caucus of the University’s College Democrats chapter, has taken offense with the restaurant’s logo and recently began circulating a petition to sway the owners to change the logo.

LSA senior Kolby Roberts, a member of the Stonewall Democrats who has led the effort, said he finds the logo’s message inappropriate and offensive.

“I have a problem that you take a women riding a hamburger and you put it next to the word ‘quickie,’ ” he said. “It just seems like it’s not putting a good message out there for the objectification of women.”

Maria Arman, whose family owns the restaurant, said the logo was meant to invoke a cowboy theme.

“We were thinking beef, rodeo, so instead of putting a cowboy, we just picked a cowgirl,” she said. “It’s a rodeo-style cowgirl riding a bull, but instead, it’s a burger. It was put together to be funny and different. No offense was meant to anyone.”

Before selecting a logo for the restaurant, which features a maize and blue color scheme with televisions tuned to ESPN on the interior, the owners showed the logo to more than 100 people and none of them objected, Arman said.

“The people who we talked to told us, ‘It’s a college town and the kids will think its funny,'” she said.

LSA freshman Dan Yeomans said while he wasn’t personally offended by the logo, he could see how others might interpret it in a negative way.

“I could see the same people who were offended by the South Quad T-shirts taking offense to this,” said Yeomans, referring to a batch of dorm-sponsored shirts that featured lyrics from the popular, but controversial Soulja Boy song “Crank That.”

Roberts said he believed the image was distasteful, regardless of the person.

“Basically, what it has is a provocatively dressed woman straddling a hamburger, and she’s very busty and its kind of really horrible,” he said.

Roberts and the Stonewall Democrats have begun circulating a petition, which he said currently has about 100 signatures. The group plans to send a letter along with the petition to the owners. The restaurant’s name, he said, isn’t a problem.

Roberts said the purpose of the letter and petition is to convince the Armans to alter the logo.

“I don’t think anyone has a problem with the name because it implies that I’m going to get a quick burger,” he said. “Instead, we’re just thinking about getting rid of the logo. Maybe trying to change it so it’s less offensive.”

Arman said she would be open to talking with the protesters.

“We will consider talking to them,” she said. “We’re open-minded. We’re not here to offend anyone or to make anyone angry.”
