I don't want to brag, but like Victoria Jackson, I must also be prescient. When I posted the following video on youtube, I called it right. I knew what the results would be. Here is what I wrote in the video description:
I'll just tell you this right now, the left will make something of this segment. I guarantee it. And they will say things that wouldn't be politically correct, except then they are being hypocritical. But, watch them try to smear the Tea Party Movement, and just watch for the fact that they will try to deflect the blame on us, the Tea Party movement, We the People, the MOB. You will find the most intolerance ever known to the internet once the progressives (the left) see this video. Be prepared for some hateful vitriol. We know who they are, and WE SURROUND THEM!!!
And if you want to see how prescient I was, just read some of the comments that were posted at the video. (Unfortunately, I must warn you, there will be some very vulgar language, and probably even saltier than what Joe Biden said to Barack HUSSEIN Obama the other night. But then, what would you expect from Progressives?)
Now, of course, you know that I'm not really prescient. It was really just a matter of knowing that is how the left reacts to anything that threatens their progressive Marxist religion. Back last summer, during the Congressional August break and the Town Hall meetings, you heard people like Nancy Pelosi claim that the tea partiers were a bunch of Nazi thugs, that we were a mob. And don't forget Janeanne Garofalo's profane vitriol, calling WE the People a bunch of "teabaggers." (For those that don't know, that's slang for something I don't feel is appropriate to mention here.)
Never forget that the Progressive left (the Commies) will continue to do all they can to discredit the Tea Party Movement, to constantly disparage and marginalize us. It's the way they've been taught, whether from some liberal college professor, or by reading Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals."
I don't know if somebody at Fox News was trying to set up the Tea Partiers by getting Victoria on this segment about the Tea Party Express rally in Searchlight, Nevada (home town of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is going to get trounced in November), in order to marginalize us. That does seem to be a possibility, however. But it doesn't matter. The only people that would criticize Victoria and this video, would of course be - who else? - Progressives. And for that reason, I posted the video, knowing that it would draw them out, and you could see for yourselves what the opposition to freedom is really like. And, it frightens me that people like the Godless heathens who write the vitriolic comments are the same kind of people that are now running this country (into the ground).
Victoria may be just a little goofy, but you have to admire her love for this country and the fact that she is a true patriot and freedom fighter, who is just telling it like it is. And I am going to stand up for her, and with her.
On February 23, 2010, I uploaded the video you will see below. I just knew that the things Bernie Goldberg was telling Bill O'Reilly would lead to a deeper meaning. And sure enough, just a few days later, I found a column that said that the Conservative Movement, and even more importantly, the TEA Party movement, were going to distance themselves from certain "fragments" of the movements: The FRINGE... I was moved to promptly write a response to that column. I am pretty sure that this video gave me some of the ammo that lead to what I felt when I read the column by Kenneth Vogel.
In this video, you will see the part where Bernie explains how the left-wing media attaches any kind of violence to the FAR right wing conspiracy (which probably includes ANY of us in the TEA Party movement).
This video segment of O'Reilly is now so much more relevant because of what had been written by Vogel and in my response. What you will be seeing will definitely help you connect the dots.
And yes, in listening to Sean Hannity just now, I'd swear he read the column I wrote yesterday, where I mention "United we stand, divided we fall!"
This time, the purchasers of billboard space comes forward with an important message. Don't be afraid, you are not alone. They were not kidding when John and Eddy says this gets personal. It's about time some patriots got a spine and do what it takes, and go public.
It is frustrating to be in the situation I'm in. Being somebody that follows the news on a regular basis (okay, I'm a news junkie!), I also have a desire to venture into the blogosphere. In my other blog, Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape, I am doing my best to help you, my loyal readers, to follow along with the stories that are affecting our ultimate destiny.
And the Time 2 Escape blog is just the tip of the iceberg. I also contribute extensively to youtube.com (TheREALjohnny2k) and digg.com (johnny2k). The only thing holding me back from doing a lot more with those two sites is the time limitation. If I didn't have to sleep, eat, or go to work, that 24 hour per day thing still wouldn't be enough to accomplish all I am inspired to do.
Speaking of being inspired, there is this other thing where I also want to write my own essays from time to time, as I am doing here, or on my other blog, The Cross Tribe Network. Hey, there is nothing like spreading myself too thin. But worse yet, I'm overwhelmed with all that could be written about. Some would call it Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), but I call it Distractions, Distractors, and Detractors (DDD). I will now explain the great difficulties that I encounter with this dreadful syndrome.
Distractions
It was Easter morning, and I was watching the news, when I saw a story on Fox & Friends which perked my interest. I just happened to have recorded it so that I could put it up on youtube.com:
I was so totally into that story, and I was getting ready to write about it on this blog, until something else happened that glorious Resurrection Sunday... As you saw at the end of the above video, there was a situation that was coming close to a climax. Just as the above video was being uploaded to youtube.com, Capt. Phillips of the Maersk Alabama was being rescued from his captors. So much for being able to write the blog I was planning for the Limbaugh video. It was such an uplifting moment that captured America's complete attention, and mine!
I would never accuse the Obama administration of trying to distract us just after the great interview David Limbaugh had with Fox & Friends. That would have to be a conspiracy plot way beyond any one's imagination... even mine. I'm just saying, it had to be a coincidence.
(We do need to remember that our distractions are usually self-imposed.)
Allow me to put it this way to make my point: Barack Hussein Obama could have publicly announced that the Illuminati had just elected him as leader of the New World Order, and the story wouldn't have made a ripple in the news compared to what happened last Easter morning. What could ever compare to Navy SEALS taking out three pirates and saving the captive sea captain, while waves were tossing about both of the vessels? It was a great story, and I was diverted from anything else that day.
There are many things that can divert our attention in life. While many of our distractions are self-imposed, some aren't. To make my point, let me just show you several parts of the definition of "distraction" that I found on dictionary.com:
mental distress or derangement: That child will drive me to distraction.
that which amuses, entertains, or diverts; amusement; entertainment: Fishing is his major distraction.
that which distracts, divides the attention, or prevents concentration: The distractions of the city interfere with my studies.
division or disorder caused by dissension; tumult.
Oh, by the way, also included at dictionary.com, was "Synonyms: madness, lunacy, insanity, craziness." How crazy is that? (I had to wonder.)
Distractors
In an initial draft of the story about what David Limbaugh said in the above video, I was going to use the word, "distractor". That word came up as a misspelling in my word processing program of choice. I assumed that noun to mean "a person (or group) who distracts people (from the truth)." However, I found it to have a different meaning when I again referred to dictionary.com. I came up with the following:
Now, think about it. When you were in school, you'd be taking a test, and there was that "distractor" as one of your choices in a multiple choice question. The most effective "distractors" were the ones that sounded like they could be a viable choice. That's right, those darn teachers could be so sly.
But this doesn't just apply to tests in your school days. Distractors are another diversionary tactic. Ask any military commander. Or, ask anyone involved in the battle for the hearts and minds of the people... er, I mean the sheople. It is kind of like feeding enemy spies with misinformation to present another possible "option," just like the distractor quesiton on a test.
And once again, I am able to provide yet another video that will illustrate my point. This is a case where our President had a little faux pas in diplomatic protocol. The President should not "bow" to anyone. Yet, his minions were throwing out explanations as fast as they could, hoping that one would stick. Those explanations were what I'd call, "Distractors":
And even Geraldo admits it (@ about 3:42), "keep spinning it, and spinning it..."
In other words, there can be more than one "distractor" in a multiple choice question on a test.
Detractors
I know this is the part of this essay you've been looking forward to reading about, just as much as I couldn't wait to write about it. How would the word "detractor" be related to "Distractions" and "Distractors"? I'll tell you after the following videos, assuming my brain hasn't imploded by then:
This "little" rally of about 400 people uplifted me. However, Rahm Emanuel had apparently been very busy on the phone, and gave the marching orders: Not just to the administration cronies such as Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, but also to the media minions. They certainly seem to have the art of detraction down to a science:
That video above fits the Random House definition of "detractor" perfectly: "the act of disparaging or belittling the reputation or worth of a person, work, etc."
Between the liberal left-biased news media minions and Janet Napolitano calling all of us that attended the rallies "a threat," it seems to me that there seems to be a tyranny forming that threatens our freedom. When the diversionary tactics begin to bow down to the level of having to disparage the opponent with mass propaganda, you have to figure it is their last desperate attempt to win the war for the hearts and minds of the "sheople."
You are not sheople anymore, now that you understand the "Distractions, Distractors, and Detractors" tactics that the enemies of our freedom will use. And by the way, sorry that I ... er... distracted you from the point that David Limbaugh made in the video at the top of this page, that Obama may be a Socialist.
I am a Conservative blogger - part of the vast right-wing conspiracy - that is not afraid to tell you what I think about both politics and my Christian beliefs.
