You Say You Want A Revolution, Well You Know...

History does have a way of repeating itself. However, the right-wing extremists in today's world aren't exactly cut from the same cloth as those who fought so valiantly for our independence.

The rhetoric has been ramped up more than just a notch and the frustration of the radicals on the right has begun to spill over into the mainstream. About three weeks ago I had an exchange with one of those extremists and reported on his dangerous posturing and speculations.

Mark Epstein, runs a blog over on Wordpress and he was asking for others to declare if they could be counted in or out should an armed revolution begin. Yesterday, John Perry wrote an article which appeared on Newsmax in which he stated:

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible. [Newsmax.com, 9/29/09]




The flurry of outrage that ensued caused Newsmax to remove the article and enter in to a damage control mode trying to distance itself from Perry. Claiming that Perry had no official capacity with Newsmax, however, proved even more disastrous as TPM immediately discredited such a statement with this little bit of research:

That's not quite the wording on his Newsmax biography. There, Perry is described as an "award-winning newspaper editor and writer" who "contributes a regular column to Newsmax.com."

He's also a former senior editor for the site, working in that role from late 1999 until October 2001.

Perry has written for the site regularly -- nearly every single week -- since November 1999. Newsmax was founded in 1998. (Check out the archives here and here.)

On the site's "Blogs" page, he's listed alongside other contributors including Ben Stein, Grover Norquist and Christopher Ruddy, the founder and editor-in-chief of Newsmax.


As Perry's article was being disseminated throughout cyberspace, talk radio show host Jim Quinn was making his bid to further the calls for insurrection as he warned our soldiers:

"The only reason you put military anywhere is to win and win as quickly as you can, as ruthlessly as you can, because mercifully it will be over quick, instead of turning it into a meat grinder. I'm looking at -- guys, look, I love you all who go over there and serve, but I gotta tell you right now, run for your life, get out, this guy is gonna get you killed. Man, these people are scary." [Clear Channel's The War Room with Quinn & Rose, 9/29/09]


The Huffington Post reports, "Media Matters points out that the appeals to the military follow a wave of rhetoric from the right suggesting that civilian violence against the government might be justified. Chuck Norris has asked if people are ready for "a second American Revolution." RedState's Erick Erickson has asked, "At what point do the people ... march down to their state legislator's house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp?" Radio host Michael Savage declared recently that "we're going to have a revolution in this country."

And Media Matters has a whole list of others who are fueling this fire with their incessant and dangerous rhetoric.

And it's not only the media gurus who are unscrupulously and wantonly promulgating the seeds of civil unrest in this country. Congressional leaders, evangelical fundamentalists, and militia-minded individuals appear to be anxiously awaiting the first volley of violence - in fact, wishing it would happen. Did you ever wake up and feel like you were in another country?

The really chilling thing in all of this is that, it would seem, that pretty much all semblance of denial or even concern over what all this might result in has been stripped away from these right-wing fanatics. Quite simply, by all appearances, they just don't care. The fact that they lost the election, they lost their power-base, and they lost appeal has resulted in them losing their minds.

Something tells me that these nutjobs had better rethink their priorities and they had better drop this whole armed revolution idea. I say that because there are just as many sane people looking on who are now realizing that this kind of extremism is mot only non-productive, but absolutely detrimental to the fabric of our society.

As these cretins crawl out of every rock and cranny, they may be fomenting dissent - but there is another undercurrent going on here - one of utmost importance and largely overlooked in this melee of media frenzy - the damn is breaking, and the silent, sane majority is getting mad as hell and sick of it all. You know what they say about the quiet ones. I'd suggest the right-wing fanatics slither back in their hidey holes with their war-games and such because they really don't know what they are inviting.

  1. I'm here to report that some people are accepting bullets as pay. I shit you not! Ammo has become a form of currancy. That in itself is a bad, bad sign for any geographic designation.

  2. Really? I know they say there is a shortage of ammo. This shit is getting curiouser and curiouser.

    ReplyDelete
  3. The rush has slowed down. Prices are dropping but there are still the have-nots. Soooo...some folks will work for ammo that hasn't made it's way back to the shelves in great number. That being said, someone will do $10 worth of work for a $5 box of ammo purchased a year and a half ago.

    Oh, the rush has slowed but it's because they are producing more. People are still buying and stock piling bullets like crazy. Now it's not uncommon, at least in my area, when talking about money to include the question "what do you shoot?" Well, often it's "what round do you need?" Jeff Cooper talked about balistic wampum (sp?). You just buy whatever is on sale even if you don't own anything belonging to that platform. You'll find someone who needs it and bad too.

    Also in the good-news section, lately I've seen rows upon rows of affordable rifles that more or less disappeared from the market a year or so ago. I think this is great in the cities because blacks in particular are used to facing unarmed whites. However, in terms of the big, fun, weekend-long revolution, it doesn't mean that much. It's like the Palistinians being proud that they have a larger pile of rocks for which to face Israeli tanks.

    Newsflash: you don't have armor, you don't have armor defeating weapons in great number, you have no airpower and tactical weapons? Yeah. Maybe a National Socialist president will give you some.

    So now that I'm convinved a war is on the way wheather I like it or not, I urge people not to repeat the mistakes of the Civil War. "You" aren't a traditional army and you will be utterly wiped out the moment you try to act like one. You need to stop buying countless rounds of ammo and start reading every book on gurilla warfare you can get your hands on. Talk to some people who have lived through a storm of blood and shit like that. Maybe during this time you will realize how serious this all is. No, this conflict, not matter how just, will cost you more than a few boxes of ammo and a flesh wound. Exercise: List everything (EVERYTHING) in life you love on some notebook paper. Set a cigarette lighter beside it or a book of matches. When you know it's all going down, light the paper on fire because that's what just happened in real life, m'man.

  4. There is no danger of armed revolution...calm yourself, Nikki.

  5. You know the shit is about to hit the fan when ammunition, tobacco and a few staples like coffee is used for currency.

    I don't know if there is going to be armed revolt (I am praying there isn't) but many innocent people are going to be hurt.

    No, it isn't the fault of the Michael Savages of the world either, if in fact this does happen.

  6. Would Nikki have sided with the Redcoats 200 yrs. ago?

    Would she have been one of those loyalist?

  7. It's really a sad state of affairs that a bunch of radio hosts are all that seem to want to publically stand up for the American people.

    ReplyDelete
  8. No it is really sad that these "radio hosts" actually think they speak for the American people. They speak for a small group of fringe element cry babies. Get the fuck over it, you lost the election. Deal with it.

  9. Get over what? It's your disaster.

  10. 263,000 more jobs lost for the month of September. BTW- 7 million jobs have been lost since Obama has been President.

    But if you are in a government make-work job like Boa you have no worries. The government sector is the ONLY area of job growht btw.

  22. Hey UF, is that the real Erica Hardwick that has been posting on here?

    I thought the crazy bitch went back to her Nazi roots and started hating niggers again.

    ReplyDelete
  23. how could somebody stop hating niggers?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I am the wrong person to ask if that is the real Erica. Ask DLJ or Nikki. Some of what "she" said was consistent with what I know. I thought she was going to write a book. But Shop White, Bill framing her, motor cycle gangs, drugs, and prostitution? That is all news to me.

  25. Well if you do find the race traitor bitch let me know. I know a few good ole boys that would like to teach her a lesson.

    ReplyDelete
  26. There are definite inconsistencies in her accountings of past events, and it is highly doubtful that she is the real deal, She was asked some very pointed questions - since then - silence.

    As to A Real White man - none of you are going to teach anyone anything. You're played out, washed up, and way over the hill. Move on.
