We know something about Barack Obama; he can hold two totally contradictory things in this mind at the same time and claim allegiance to both of them. You know we saw it when the D.C. gun ban was over turned and he said he was all for it when ah...but before he had been against ah…before he’d been in favor of the band and when most of it was turned over he said he was in favor of that too. --Fred BarnesProgressive Liberals are all about Contradiction. They hate the Constitution as demonstrated by their recent hue and cry when the Republicans of the 112th Congress proposed to read it before the start of their term. Ironically, the same elected Progressive Liberals who complain about the reading of the Constitution are sworn to uphold the Constitution. So why are they using the tragic assassination attempt on Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Gifford as cover to violate the 1st and 2nd amendments by legislating against free speech and the right to bear arms? They do it because the position is totally at odds with the Constitution and in the Progressive Liberal mind Contradiction is a sign of intelligence and enlightenment.
Democrats say their recent attack against freedom of speech and the right to bear arms is for the safety and civility of the American people however, as founding father Benjamin Franklin said, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
However what is absolutely amazing is MSNBC’s host Rachael Maddow catches president Barry Hussein Soetoro in a contradictory and Orwellian unconstitutional proposal to imprison terrorist (in a war Progressive’s deem illegal) by calling it “prolonged detention.” Soetoro's proposal the very thing for which Progressive Liberals excoriated president George W. Bush for seven long years. (see 9:47min video)
In George Orwell’s novel 1984 Winston Smith the novel's protagonist, described doublethink in this fashion:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.'
Ms. Maddox why is the president’s contradictory behavior a surprise. This president’s whole candidacy and presidency has been full of double-entendre and Orwellian redefinition. The fact that he would stand right in front of the Constitution and make a proposal that completely violates the Constitution is what Soetoro’s whole presidency is based on.
The fact that you won’t persecute president Soetoro like you did president Bush and vice-president Cheney speaks to your own hypocrisy Ms. Maddow.
The fact that you know that this president is violating the Constitution Ms. Maddow yet you still back him speaks to your Progressive Liberal unpatriotic anti-American politics.
