Pretty much akin to every movement that prefaces itself with "People" or "Freedom" and a host of other fine sounding adjectives while in reality desiring to impose its own twisted ideals on the populace they are trying to fool.
The Bolsheveks did this in 1917.
The Nazi's did this in the 1920's.
Europe was pulled down by this through-out the first half of the 1900's.
Oh damn!! We surely can't have that. How do you propose we stop these zealots from reading or producing these conservative websites? What are you suggesting? ...should we quash their patriotism before it gets out of hand? ...or just discredit them for thinking they were born freemen? ...or maybe classify them as domestic enemies, kind of like the Bolsheviks or Nazism?
Can you even imagine the pandemonium if these "people" start gaining strength of numbers? I mean, the entire socialist understructure of our government, all that hard work for the last 40 years, would be turned topsy-turvy. But maybe it won't be so bad? I guess if they start forming groups, and calling themselves something stupid, like "tea parties," we could always just ridicule and threaten them, huh?
But OMG, what if they start losing faith in our beloved "statist" programs? If we don't stop them from talking about individual rights, personal responsibility, and personal accountability, we won't be able to keep them enslaved to our welfare system?! Everything is working so well with our current "social justice" system, don't you think?
What if they realize that all those groups like ACORN, SEIU, Rainbow Coalition, ACLU, etc. are bogus entities -- that they really coexist with government agencies, serving their own self-interests -- and that they're merely front groups for a Marxist/socialist agenda that's been very successful so far. If they quit trusting the government to protect their God-given rights, maybe they'll start listening to extremist libertarians like Ayn Rand, when she said, "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." Boy, that'll be tough to overcome.
What if they start reading, and educating themselves? It's going to be hard to keep them from finding all those old books. What if they actually read some of Marx and Engels' stuff, and realize why the Communist Manifesto never worked for Stalin, Lenin, or Mao? ...or how the message of "the evil rich man" was propagated by Marx's Das Kapital? What happens if they too understand Saul Alinski's Rules for Radicals? On the flipside, what if Tocqueville's Democracy in America falls into some of their hands? What if the writings of John Stuart Mill start getting passed around? Worse yet, what if they happen to get a hold of John Locke's books, and fully comprehend why Thomas Jefferson thought he was a genius?
Wow, I think it's going to be tough to shut them up, don't you? Telling them that words like "People" and "Freedom" are wrong to use -- well, that might work for a while -- but eventually it might start to make sense to some of them. What if they accidentally look at some of the words on our coins? After all, "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" are actually just as dangerous, if not more so, aren't they? What if they find some kind of twisted pride in being called "Patriot," and won't shut up? ...or refuse to give up their ridiculous old, traditional, conservative beliefs?
I don't know, is it even possible to convince everyone that terms like "truth," "liberty," and "freedom" are actually evil incarnate? It seems like there's a couple major obstacles, that no amount of government control or media attention, is going to be able to counteract. First, is that antiquated Constitution of the United States, with its peculiar beginning, "We The People." How on earth do you propose we stop them from thinking it pertains to them running the government? Especially difficult, what if they expect an honest Republic, instead of a mob-rule democracy? What if they start demanding the same level of accountability from the government, as they show personally in their everyday lives? Actually, that wouldn't be so bad on its own, but I think maybe too many of those "patriotic" drumbeaters have started to catch on to what the founding fathers literally meant when they wrote the Constitution. How, pray tell, can our current crop of wimpy politicians, with all their corruption and quick fixes, keep thinking that Americans will ignore Jefferson, Hamilton, and Adams forever?
"On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." --Thomas Jefferson
"The present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes -- rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments." --Alexander Hamilton, letter to James Bayard, 1802
"[G]iving [Congress] a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole [Constitution] to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly, no such universal power was meant to be given them." --Thomas Jefferson
"A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal." --John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

Obviously, the Freedom, and Rights they hold dear at that site do not include the same for non-whites, women, the press, the media, the working individual.
No, you're wrong. The freedom and rights they hold dear at that site, as well as those of most other decent Americans, includes all citizens. It's obvious that all types of "people" are well-represented -- everything the same, for non-whites, women, and anyone else who stands for our Republic's principles (you know, that whole "E Pluribus Unum" thing).
Have you grown so accustomed to your foolish caricature? ...or do you make such ignorant statements without fully engaging both brain cells?
