Dem Sen. Tom Harkin Says Tea Party “Every Bit As Dangerous” To Nation As The Civil War

Tom Harkin - Ready For War

Via The Hill:
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on Friday said that the Tea Party movement is just as dangerous for America as the Civil War. 
“A small group of willful men and women who have a certain ideology about how our country should run and what we should do cannot get their way in a normal discourse and votes,” Harkin said. 
“Since they can’t get their way they’re going to create this confusion and discourse and hope the public is so mixed up in who to blame for this that perhaps they’ll blame both sides.” 
“That is the path they see for taking over the government. It’s dangerous, very dangerous. … Every bit as dangerous as the break up and the Civil War.”

Yeah, asswipe, and that "ideology" you so conveniently fail to name just so happens to be the very same one that America was founded on. It's called the Constitution - an "ideology" you supposedly swore to an oath to uphold. You really ought to read it some time, and by the way, it ain't no "small group of willful men and women" either. Just like it ain't no small group group of islamonazis that would delight in cutting your fool head off.

Hmm. Some damn fool wrote this just over four years ago now.

"He tries to silence our voice at town halls and other meetings where, if we cannot be shouted down, he will use hired muscle to intimidate."

"He apologizes to our enemies and snubs our friends." (had a phone call with Rouhani today. Well whaddaya think of that> --mr)

"He is destroying the defense capability of this nation, would charge the warriors who protected us with crimes against those who would kill us."

"Write about them on twitter or face book and have it captured by the government."

"Non-violent resistance is all well and good and admirable and preferable. But, historically, it’s not our way, to submit instead of stand our ground, even if it means knocking the other fellow on his ass.. And as the government continues to spiral out of control and lose all touch with ground truths, I see it as less and less likely to be the outcome.

"We need to come to terms with the truth that The Revolution has already begun. Barack Hussein Obama started it when he decided The United States of America was no longer good enough and needed to be sacrificed and remade in his own image.

"The Revolution has already begun and - as brother turns against brother, friend against friend, along ideological lines - I’m afraid, will end in the civil war Jon Voight warned about."


If this qualifies as a Cassandra-esque moment than, if anything, the dunderheaded bitter clinging whiskey swilling dark eyed women admiring drunkard WAS FAR TOO KIND AND CONSERVATIVE INS HIS CRITICISM.
