10-2, The Hate America Rally Roundup

In a lame attempt to duplicate Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally on 8-28-10, the Communist Party USA held its' own little gathering last Saturday. Crazy Ed "Sargeant" Schultz was there, as was a small crowd of leftists, socialists, communists, racists and liars, in other words, his core audience. All of them, judging by his ratings.

Here's just a sample of a few of the folks in attendance.

First, you should know who sponsored this rally. Click here for the most comprehensive list of left-wing, extremist, anti-American groups you've ever seen. It's a who's who of hate groups. They are not nice people.

Here's one lady who didn't want her picture taken, so much so that she assaults the videographer several times. Perhaps someone should tell her that she's in a public place.

Joe Madison addressed the masses, gleefully telling them that someone sent him a satellite photo showing the crowd was larger than Glenn's rally on 9-29. He was right, except for one teensy, weensy, little detail.

Here's a better visual comparison of crowd size at the two events.

Charlie Martin over at Pajamas Media concludes what we suspected all along: "progressives" are unable to do math. Not with budgets, not with crowd sizes, not with anything.

And how despicable is it for teachers to require their students to attend a hate-fest?

Any more despicable than the attendees own words? More hate here. Even more hatred here.

Day by Day's Chris Muir even made a cartoon of the characters who trashed the Mall.

Overall, contrary to their misperception of the Tea Partiers, the rally last Saturday was held by the real haters. Their self-loathing extends to every part of the country that has given them the freedom to complain that others in the world don't have. They should really try the same thing somewhere else, like Iran, Russia or Saudi Arabia, and see what happens to them.

They are nothing more than narcisstic, immature children who don't have any respect for the men and women who lost their lives to give them the right of free speech. Thank goodness they're vastly outnumbered. We really do have them surrounded. It's time to push them back to the margins of society from whence they came. They are not now, nor have they ever been, in the mainstream of American thought. We tolerate them only because we're nicer than they are. However, we're running out of tolerance. Maybe it's time to make them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

They will fail because they hold hatred in their heart. They create an enemy where there is none and ignore the real ones. Pray for them, for they know not what they do...

Fear and Self-Loathing - Hallmarks of the Leftist

Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Are you naturally cheerful or consistently grouchy?

Chances are you've noticed a trend lately, that of a constant, shrill screeching from the left side of the aisle versus the general good nature of the right side. Where this comes from is a mystery, but a lot more people are starting to notice just how dour leftists are.

If I were a psychologist, I could do nothing for the remainder of my career except study this phenomenon. I'd never run out of something to do, since the depth and breadth of hatred seemingly extends outward from politics into everything else to infect every nook and cranny of life itself.

I'm not the only one to notice this trend. Matthew Sheffield from the Washington Examiner writes about this in a piece entitled Hating your countrymen is the new patriotism. In it, he notes the trend away from mere disagreement with those who differ in opinion toward downright seething, spittle-flecked hatred such as that displayed by CNN's Ed Shultz.

One could argue that conservatives and libertarians are prone to similarly negative views about the public–particularly when it votes for politicians loathed by the Right–however, it seems to me that when such sentiments are expressed, they tend to proceed more from disappointment than the fulminations against the public one regularly sees expressed by liberals (the supposed movement “for the people”).

Sadly, this is becoming more and more common as we watch the left collapse in on itself. Glenn Beck pointed this out on his show recently, citing a Huffington Post post that I think was supposed to be high snark, but comes across as just a delusional rant against the everyday Americans who attended his Restoring Honor rally in Washington this past weekend. He displayed pictures that HuffPoo called "ridiculous". Guess what these pictures showed? Average Americans displaying patriotism. (I deeply apologize for linking to that site. If you feel the need to go wash your hands or take a shower after clicking, I understand. I'll wait 'till you get back.)

Even Hollywood stars are getting caught up in this blind, running hatred. John Cusak has called for the "satanic death" of Fox News and GOP leaders.

I have a theory concerning this malady. Indulge me if you will.

One can easily see and hear the carping and criticism from the left. It's their stock in trade. They seemingly cannot stand the country into which they were born and their every waking moment is spent pointing out her every fault as if there is some perfect society that once existed to compare her to.

That's what causes their unhappiness. They constantly criticize. Anything and everything. As a result, by immersing themselves in criticism, they feel like they're being criticized. Their emotional state overwhelms them to the point that they become most unpleasant and incapable of polite conversation. It is for that reason that leftists tend to surround themselves with other like-minded individuals and join groups that support their critical views of the nation and life in general.

After all, who wants to hang around the perpetually dour?

You may have noticed the calm demeanor of those who attended Glenn Beck's rally in Washington. Every video clip I've seen so far shows general good will toward others. The anecdotes of the day reflect the same atmosphere of cheerfulness and accommodation, along with the respect shown by the crowd for the grounds that were left in pristine condition afterwards.

This, in my opinion, is one of the biggest ideological divides between the right and left. Because we on the right have a modicum of self-control, those on the left who don't have it are reduced to emotionality, and must respond in the only way they know how: emotionally, in a most immature way.

Like a spoiled child.
