I would think they'd scare the hell out of every elected and unelected politician, bureaurocrat, tick in the govt.
But I'd be wrong. They simply don't give a sh*t what the little people think anymore. They can do it without us, they have the 'too big to fail' bunch behind them. And at the moment that seems to be enough.

There's one national political figure who seems to be getting it who also happens to be a potential presidential candidate. In their own words:
"Do you want to know why nothing ever really gets done? It’s because there’s nothing in it for them [politicians]. They’ve got a lot of mouths to feed — a lot of corporate lobbyists and a lot of special interests that are counting on them to keep the good times and the money rolling along. This is not the capitalism of free men and free markets, of innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk. It’s the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest — to the little guys. It’s a slap in the face to our small business owners — the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting for 70 percent of the jobs in America."

"I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
--Grover Norquist
And then corrects himself -- "janitor" was the word he was looking for. This clip is from his speech to the Congressional Black Caucus over the weekend.
"When you start saying, at a time when the top one-tenth of one percent have seen their incomes go up four or five times over the last twenty years, and folks at the bottom have seen their incomes decline, and your response is that you want poor folks to pay more? Give me a break!
"If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew -- as a janitor -- makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that as a badge of honor."
Freudian slip or...just a slip? Given the hostility this president has shown Israel, the shunning of the Jewish community, the embracing of muslim ideas and culture, his own childhood background... I don't think it was just a slip, and it fits like a glove into the antisemitism of the left.

One thing I found interesting when I recently read The Garden of the Beasts is that Roosevelt himself was reluctant to issue visas to the Jews who were desperate to leave Germany in the 1930's when they were facing increasing persecution under the NAZIs. That venerable old Democrat tried to silence Jewish groups in this country who were speaking out about Hitler because it was "bad for business".

You read that too (Garden of the Beasts)? Yeah: it was specifically bad because of how much American debt the Germans were carrying. The Roosevelt Administration was freaking terrified of the Nazis defaulting on all that debt. It was a lot more important to them than a few Jews getting oppressed.
And what happened? Millions died and they defaulted anyhow. Moral cowardice seldom pays.
Kinda like his remarks about Pennsylvania voters clinging bitterly to their guns, etc., to San Francisco donors. The excuse given was that he was merely "talking to them in their language".

When will the Jews in this country realize the Left wants first the Middle East and then the US to be Judenfrei? The Left started it in Germany {National SOCIALIST Workers Party} and has tried to continue its direction in the Middle East.

Maybe he'd settle for them paying the same rate as a white interloper in Hymietown. The "reverends" Sharpton and Jackson could be on the Blue Ribbon commission to figure it all out...

The odd thing is that the President was suggesting that millionaires were paying a smaller tax rate than Jews. So, we Jews are paying too much, which means we're suckers, instead of being cunning tax-minimizers. May 5772 be different for us.

That's a gross overgeneralization, Shieldwolf. You're smarter than that.
[Emirates 24/7] President Barack B.O. Obama urged black leaders on Saturday to "stop complaining" and help him push his jobs plan through the US Congress, as he sought to bolster support in the black community amid concern over high unemployment.
In an impassioned speech to an awards banquet of the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama likened his efforts to win approval of his $447 billion jobs package to civil rights struggles of the 1960s and exhorted his audience to "march with me and press on."
Facing a tough 2012 re-election fight, Obama sought to shore up once-unquestioned support in the black community where opinion polls show waning voter enthusiasm for his policies while some politicians have criticized him for not focusing enough on black unemployment.
Obama, America's first black president, acknowledged the frustration and appealed to his listeners to "keep the faith."
"I'm going to press on for jobs," Obama said to wild cheers. "Shake it off. Stop complaining. Stop grumbling. Stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do."
In the latest stop on his "pass this bill" tour, the Democratic president also seized the chance to keep pressure on Republicans over his jobs plan and taunt them for not embracing a package that includes tax cuts to spur company hiring.
Republicans have given Obama's jobs plan a cool reception and oppose tax hikes on wealthier Americans that would pay for it, but have voiced a willingness to consider some of his ideas.
Obama said he had spoken to former President Bill Clinton, who he played golf with earlier on Saturday, about his proposal to let expire tax cuts for richer Americans enacted under Republican President George W. Bush and revert to the rates that prevailed during Clinton's term.
"It turned out we had a lot of jobs (during Clinton's time)," Obama said.
Obama's re-election hopes may hinge on his ability to revive the stagnant US economy and reduce 9.1 percent unemployment.
Even as Obama's overall poll numbers have declined, cracks have begun to show in his support among blacks, a key constituency that helped propel him to victory in the 2008 presidential election.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll earlier this week showed that 58 percent of blacks held "strongly favorable" views of him, down from 83 percent five months ago. That coincides with a black unemployment rate that has ticked up to close to 16 percent on Obama's watch.

It comes down to this "black" community, do you want to be a full and integrated part of the American community, or do you want to retain your bitter little "we are owed" view of life and stay on the handout train?
Hint: Obama doesn't lead to prosperity, only serfdom.

He got them all turned out to vote in 2008. Since then they've noticed increasing levels of joblessness, poverty and wilding. Things that are really hard to pin on the Republicans (although some are managing the mental twisting required).
I think Obama will get good turnout among the black community still, but I don't think he's going to get them working hard on his reelection campaign.
Still, I wonder if anyone in the Black community would listen to Herman Caine. Are they so brainwashed into thinking conservative is uncle tom despite everything they've seen again and again in their own bluer than blue communities. I have to say the Republicans have been somewhat pathetic at changing minds in the black community.

In an ironic sense, the Tea Party is the 21st Century Civil Rights movement. Man is to be free, to be not a thrall of a ruling class, to be the owner of the fruits of his/her labor, to have a choice of his own destiny and not one created for him by those who believe themselves to be their betters.
What's happened up until now, and what internal leaks say about what's coming. Hint: jobs may now be at stake. (This is the twelfth of a series of articles about the Justice Department's hiring practices since President Obama took office. ) If you haven't been following this, there are 11 links where he has introduced each of the new hires. It's scary just reading it.
Following the Justice Department's long-delayed compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request, PJMedia recently published content from the resumes of each career attorney hired to the DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Eric Holder. The articles were written by two former Civil Rights Division attorneys -- J. Christian Adams and Hans von Spakovsky -- and PJMedia Editor Richard Pollock.
The Justice Department is forbidden by federal law from hiring employees based on political affiliation. Yet the resumes revealed the following ideological breakdown among the new hires:
Leftist lawyers: 113
Moderate, non-ideological, or conservative lawyers: 0.
That represents the basest headline for the series, the matter-of-fact evidence that should lead any reasonable observer to believe the DOJ has employed an illegal political litmus test during the interview process. But the "Every Single One" series has provided additional benefits: the results present the inherent flaw in leftism's perversion of the term "civil rights," while providing a real world example of the flawed belief actualized. Additionally, the "Every Single One" series presents ramifications that reach far beyond the individuals most directly affected by DOJ activity.
We hope not to understate it: this perversion of "civil rights" is the beating heart of leftism itself.
Only one definition of "civil rights" could ever logically exist: that of equal protection under the law, the law defined as the codified protection of an individual's life, liberty, and property. Yet Eric Holder, Loretta King, Thomas Perez, the 113 hires -- they claim that civil rights, and the Division established to enforce them, reside in racial, gender, disability, and even sexuality preferences presiding above the law, in the hands of an elite few trusted by an elite public class to establish some breed of "fair lawlessness."
The flaw is obvious: when the law is not equally applied, a citizen's actions are no longer their own.

Just remember these are the same folks who generated faux outrage over the firing of numerous Attorney Generals during the Bush administration. It's OK to staff the DOJ with single minded hacks if its done by Donks. Remember - one set of rules for me and another set of rules for thee.
#3
The flaw is obvious: when the law, hiring and employment, promotion, educational beneifts, school admissions, taxes, are not equally applied, a citizen's actions are no longer their own.
Hope no one minds me adding a couple of other key areas.

The hiring was not 113-0 for any of the prohibited reasons; it was because only liberals were qualified by reason of civil rights law experience. Conservative would have by definition been on the anti civil rights side, and thus not qualified.
