The Violence of Intolerant Polarization
Mohandas Gandhi said, “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” He was right on the mark with that observation, although he was only addressing transparent intolerance and physical violence, not the subtle intolerance and invitations to violence favored by the Obama administration.
It’s just too bad Gandhi isn’t around today advising America’s president.
Intolerance and violence have become hallmarks of life in Barack Hussein Obama’s America, our America, fueled by systematic administration policies of polarizing and dividing the nation for political-ideological purposes. What we are witnessing is a far cry from the civility and unity he preaches but in perfect harmony with what he and his Democrat Party have intentionally fostered.
Obama has repeatedly speechified on the need for civil discourse and actions, which, like so much of what he says, is contradicted by what he does. It boils down to all talk, talk, talk. This administration has talked the civil, tolerance talk and walked the walk of the most uncivil and intolerant administration in American history.
At the same time Obama mouths conciliatory words, his union minions–think Teamsters’ President Hoffa–his mainstream media lackeys–think MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow–his congressional cohorts–think Maxine Waters–have have intensified their vile, personal attacks on anyone who dares to disagree with him.
If anyone seriously believes that that gross, intolerant incivilty isn’t tacitly approved by Obama’s DNC, explanations of why such invective goes unchallenged and un-rebuked by the White House are invited. Objections to the contention that failure to censure scurrilous leftist vituperation has contributed to a pervasive violent atmosphere in the United States are invited as well.
Some of the most devious machinations of the Obamians have been their collective winks extended to rioters, insurrectionists, and to those who would reject constitutional mandates, our national law, in the name of expediency and ideology.
The marked increase in street violence and borderline chaos may be controllable by local authorities, assuming they are given permission to enforce laws in P.C. America. However, another, more sinister, force is in play in America, the manipulated polarization of the populace and the undermining of the very foundations of our Republic.
What really constitutes incivility? What really breeds violence? What really leads to polarization and divisiveness? Is it not a failure of political leadership, a refusal to rein in the uncivil and the criminal elements in a society, a tacit, or worse, an overt approval of incivility and criminality?
In a democratic republic, exceeding in gravity even the absence of a lack of moral leadership and condoning of wrongdoing, a blatant disregard for the law of the land, for the legal authority under which any people live, naturally results in the commission of every conceivable evil by malcontents and nihilists who interpret that disregard as a blank check issued by their leaders to do as they please.
In the United States of America, the guiding force and most basic principles which delineate the rights, privileges, and responsibities of Americans are contained in our Constitution, the same 224 year old document which President Barack Hussein Obama, his administration, and his supporters have repeatedly and consistently ignored, abused, and trashed.
Obama knows full well his constituency base will remain, if not rock-solid, reasonably supportive and must hope they will still carry him on to re-election while his opponents are intimidated into submission and defeat. Meanwhile, his henchmen and henchwomen labor on as his surrogates to conceal his leadership-challenged, intolerance-based administration.
We are witnessing the consequences of that disgrace . . .

Obama's Racial Politics Are Playing in Peoria
Obama's Racial Politics Are Playing in Peoria
“Will it play in Peoria?” is a phrase dating to the 19th century, a reference to whether some idea would go over well in mainstream typical America, the premise being that if it will float in Peoria it will succeed everywhere.
One particular idea is currently playing in Peoria which regrettably is becoming all too typical in our country, young blacks rioting in the streets, threatening to “kill all white people around here,” assaulting whites, and intimidating cops, white people, and black people alike.
Peorians were advised to avoid their yards and front porches and stay indoors, as if that were a solution to the mayhem.
The real issue, however, is not only what’s been playing in Peoria but what’s also going on in the rest of America. Peoria’s violence is simply and unfortunately a microcosm of events which are largely being ignored by the mainstream media or, if reported at all, are censored.
Time and again violent incidents are occurring thoughout this great land of ours perpetrated by prople oblivious to how great it is and the MSM in large part is choosing to omit a very relevant detail, namely that African-Americans are responsible. Noted black professor and commentator Walter E. Williams has observed both the rampant chaos and the media phenomena of pretending it is committed by some amorphous, racially-unidentifiable gangs.
As Williams wrote, and substantiated, “Most racist assaults [and other crimes] are committed by blacks” and, for reasons of misguided political correctness and lack of journalistic integrity, “In many of these brutal attacks, the news media make no mention of the race of the perpetrators.” See http://bit.ly/mtX5AM
In Peoria, Paul Wilkinson, president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association, gave this first hand account of what he witnessed: “Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth . . . were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill all the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. . . . They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.”
If this were an isolated incident, it would still be disturbing but Wilkinson went on to say, “Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with smaller groups of 10-12 out threatening children and adults a few evenings a week or later into the night.” (http://bit.ly/isOjwT)
If Peoria were an isolated city of uncontrolled black violence, it would still be scary but what’s playing out in that Illinois city is a replication of racist black attacks and lawlessness which were common in Soweto in the 1950′s but which we don’t want to believe are happening with regularity in 2011.
