The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.
In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:
Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven’t heard on NPR.”
Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,’ the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.”
Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,’ liberals’ opponents are called ‘haters,’ ‘those who seek to divide us,’ ‘tea baggers,’ and ‘right-wing hate groups.’ Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals’—and that makes them testy.”
Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.”
Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson’s followers hadn’t killed Roman Polanski’s wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he’d probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”
Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left’s mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas.
Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre’s revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America’s founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.”
Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.”
This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left.
As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order.
Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair.
Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.
Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

Palin's Magical Mystery Tour
Somehow, I never disliked Sarah Palin the way so many people did. I liked that she was a woman. I liked that she was smart, independent, and a mom. I especially liked that her son was special needs.
Given the lambasting she has recieved in the media, since being John McCain's running mate, I have enjoyed watching the media all upset over her bus tour of America. Doug Powers over at MichelleMalkin.com has a great article on how Sarah Palin is aggravating the paparazzi reporters who are following her.
Newsbusters, sums up my feelings best though. Their article is called, "Liberal Commentator on Palin's Media Disdain."
Rush Limbaugh commented eloquently on June 3, 2011, when he said, " The media, for two years has been trying to Palinize Palin -- they've been trying to destroy her -- and what's happening here is she's turning the tables on them and she's Palinizing them, and the Republican Ruling Class is furious. The Republican Ruling Class is furious that Palin, going to all these states on her bus tour, is not coordinating with local Republican organizations, and there's saying, "This ain't cool! This is not cool, because if she turns out to be running she doesn't need to be making enemies out of all these people." But there's another way to look at that, and that is: She's not following a losing script.
It's fascinating to watch this Palin stuff. They hate her, they despise her, they are frustrated that they haven't destroyed her. They can't believe she's still smiling. They can't believe she's still drawing crowds. They can't believe that she's enjoying life. They can't believe her family is still together. They can't believe her husband hasn't walked out on her. They can't believe any of this. Folks, you know this as well as I do: When they set out to destroy you, they mean just that -- and Palin's not playing along with the script. She's not acting destroyed. She's not asking for forgiveness. She's not begging them to leave her alone. She's not changing in order to make them lighten up or anything. She's just looking at 'em and smiling."
Mark Levin also supports her against criticisms against the likes of Charles Krauthammer in this article from Hot Air.
Sometimes it seems like a pathological illness to find fault with Sarah Palin. She seems more the symbol of hope than anyone for years. Because she has been savaged by so many people and come out of it like a phoenix rising from the ashes. This Palin derangement feels like a close cousin to Bush derangement syndrome. I mean, Obama has been given so many passes when he moves us closer to another depression,, distorts his past, seems distracted by the demands of his job, or just seems overwhelmed by it. I don't know if Palin will run. I voted for her more than McCain last election. I hope she does run.

Thank God I Am Not the Only One Weirded Out.
I have been hearing Obama's word's about how America could absorb another terrorist attack. Ever get the Cognitive dissonance feeling?
It looks like Greg Gutfield felt that way...or simply it was a WTF moment. Greg Gutfield hosts The Red Eye on Fox News. It is highly Tivo-worthy.

More from Loretta Sanchez, foot soldier of Barack Obama
Glenn Beck found this clip of Loretta Sanchez, saying that insurance companies should be black balled for not complying with ObamaCare.
I once asked my husband what was the difference between progressivism and Facism, because it is people trying to use the law to mandate behavior.

News Roundup
Hello,
I often hate when Tea Partiers like me, are accused of being racist for opposing the Obama Deconstruction of America. Of course there is a double standard for Democrats like Loretta Sanchez on Univision.
It looks like there may be some hope for Massachusetts. Baw-ney Frank, looks like he is having a bit of trouble.
We are getting tired of Democrat corruption like in Bell,Ca., but the media is still trying to pretend Democrats are so high and mighty.

Rush Limbaugh's Wisdom On O"Donnell
I found this quote from Rush Limbaugh about the double standard of what men in Washington can do and progress politically and what women are condemned for.
" I think the bigger point here is -- and it's happening in the Republican Party, but the supposed home of tolerance, open-mindedness, progressivism, feminism all that, the Democrat Party, liberalism, they are the ones that are viciously attacking this woman. They are the ones who viciously attacked all of Bill Clinton's babes. The feminazis never once came to the defense of Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky. They joined in the chorus line calling them trailer trash or gold diggers or what have you. And we made mention of this last week, the observation here that, well, you can dump on these women all you want and nobody is coming to their defense whatsoever. It is a double standard, there's no question about it. But I like what Sarah Palin's advice to Christine O'Donnell earlier today was via her Twitter account, and that is don't get caught up responding to what people in the Drive-By Media say. It's like Levin said yesterday, it was a brilliant thing not to go on these Sunday shows. You have nothing to gain going on those shows. Those people are not your voters. There's nothing to gain. You have nothing to prove to the inside the Beltway media people if you're Christine O'Donnell or me or you or anybody. There's no reason to go play their game on their turf. Her election future is in Delaware, and that's where she needs to focus her attention and her efforts. The dirty little secret is that there are a lot more Democrats who know she's gonna win and there are a lot more Democrats who fear she's going to win than will ever admit it."
Thank you, Rush.
