Glenn interviews Ben Shapiro, author of ‘Bullies’

Wednesday, Jan 9, 2013 at 3:36 PM EDT

Today on radio, Glenn interviewed Ben Shapiro, Editor-at-Large for Breitbart.com and the author of the new book Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans. How do conservatives move forward when the left tries to shut down every argument and ostracize them and their ideas? Shapiro and Glenn discussed the issue on radio.

Full Transcript of Interview:

GLENN: Ben Shapiro is really truly a remarkable, remarkable reporter and he’s the editor at‑large of Breitbart.com. He entered UCLA at the age of 16 years old and he does not sit down at a fight. And he is the author of a new book called Bullies, and I’m a fan of Ben’s and I wanted to put him on the air and talk about the book because I think that really, Ben, what we’re facing now is, you know, when you have somebody from the labor unions coming out the other day saying, you know, labor unions 100 years ago had no problem just saying what it was, and it’s killed the rich. And people cheered. We are headed towards real trouble with bullies.

SHAPIRO: Yeah, we certainly are. And Glenn, you know this better than anybody because you’ve been standing up to bullies for virtually your entire career. But I mean, when you look at how the left operates, the way that they operate now today, and it’s infected the entire democratic establishment, is they see us as morally deficient. They are not interested in having a simple political discussion. The reason that Mitt Romney lost this last election was not because he lost on policy. The exit poll showed that most Americans agreed with him on policy. It’s not because they thought that President Obama is a good president. Most agree that President Obama is a really bad president.

GLENN: Okay, can you stop saying ‑‑ hang on just a second, Ben. We’ve banned that guy’s name. So can you just call him that guy? Because I’m almost in shock therapy with you saying his name so much.

SHAPIRO: Okay.

GLENN: We can’t take him anymore. But go ahead. Go ahead. Just try your best.

SHAPIRO: Okay. I’ll do my best. The fact is the reason that Mitt Romney lost is because he was perceived, widely perceived as a bad guy. That guy’s campaign, the president’s campaign ‑‑

GLENN: Thank you, thank you.

SHAPIRO: ‑‑ was designed, designed to make Mitt Romney look like a horrible human being. If you just watch that campaign from the outside, the impression you got is that that guy, the president, is a nice guy. Because Mitt Romney kept saying over and over he’s a nice guy. And the impression you got of Mitt Romney is that Mitt Romney is a racist, bigoted sexist homophobe because that’s what the media and President Obama were pushing. And they do this so they don’t have to debate us. That’s the whole point. To bully us into silence and to make the American public think these guys are all evil and they are all nasty and that’s why now we’re in discussions about how we reach out to the black and Hispanic community and convince them we’re not racist. You can’t convince them you’re not racist. Once you’ve been tarred with that brush, there’s no way to defeat that. The only answer is to fight back against these guys and as that guy once said, punch back twice as hard.

GLENN: Okay. So now here you are, and we’re looking at the war with guns. They are bullying ‑‑ I had a gun manufacturer call me and say all of his bank funding has been stopped because ‑‑ and this is the second one now in just a couple of days ‑‑ because the bank said we just can’t do business with you. That’s bullying. That’s the federal government being, their hands deeply in these banks, the banks afraid and they are just not going to do business because we can’t handle it.

SHAPIRO: That’s exactly right. I mean, look at even the media strategy on the whole gun control debate. What they’ve been doing, Sandy Hook, they are standing on the dead bodies, the kids from Sandy Hook and saying if you don’t agree with our gun control proposals, it’s because you’re a bad person. It’s because you don’t care about these kids.” They are not interested in discussing which policies actually best protect against violence. They are not interested in talking about the City of Chicago had a has tons of gun legislation and regulation and is the American center for gun violence. They are not interested in discussing any of that stuff. What they are interested in doing is sitting on their high horse and then looking at us and saying, “You guys don’t care about dead kids and the reason you don’t care about dead kids is because of politics.” And it’s despicable and it really is evil. I mean, look at how they are targeting the National Rifle Association. What does the NRA have to do with anything here? They are an interest group that’s designed to defend the Second Amendment, but the media has them on and then berates them for not abandoning their position on the Second Amendment. There’s been a lot of talk, I mean you’ve seen it, a lot of talk about violent video games and violence in the culture and kind of nastiness in the culture. I have yet to hear David Gregory have on the head of the ACLU and say Europe’s extreme defense of a broad interpretation led to sandy hook. They don’t do that. They only do it with rightwing interest groups or conservative interest groups because they use incidents like sandy hook as a club to wield on our side of the aisle.

GLENN: You know the thing I like about your book is it makes the case on all of it. I mean, we’ve just talked Sandy Hook, you can talk Hobby Lobby they are doing it, they did it with Chick‑fil‑A, they are doing it with the EPA as you point out. We talked about it with the banks. It’s race. It’s all of it. It is silence people. Silence them, silence them, silence them. Make them afraid.

SHAPIRO: Yep. I mean, Glenn, look. The best example of it is what they tried to do to you, right? If you take a look at what Media Matters, the David Brock organization has been doing for years, what they do there is they sit there at the behest of the government, at the behest of the White House, they have weekly meetings with the White House and Media Matters sits there and monitor programs like yours and they wait there to hear you say something, take out of context and use it to launch boycotts against the advertisers, trying to destroy advertisers’ business based on false constructions than what people like you say. And that’s specifically designed to get you to shut up. That’s what they want to do. There are two goals and one of two things have to happen: You either voluntarily stop talking which isn’t going to happen or they try and shut you up. These are not pro First Amendment people, these are not pro speech people. These are not pro civility people. They are not civil. We have to stop treating them as if civility is going to win the day. We had the moral high ground in the 2012 election and we lost. The moral high ground doesn’t do us a lot of good when we’re fighting people who are absolutely ‑‑

GLENN: So how do you ‑‑ so I don’t want to become everything I despise.

SHAPIRO: You know, I don’t think that we have to become everything we despise but I do think that there is a Geneva Convention with regard to civility. I think that civility is like the Geneva Convention. If you operate in uniform, then the Geneva Conventions cover you. If you operator out of uniform, if you’re a terrorist, the Geneva Conventions don’t cover you, right? If you look at civility, it’s sort of the same way. If you operate within the bounds of, look, we all want to get the right thing done for the American people, we’re just trying to figure out the best way to get there, that’s civil conversation we can all have. If it turns into them screaming at you that you’re a racist, you sitting there defending yourself, I’m not a racist and let’s discuss policy, that’s not going to help. That’s a good recipe for losing.

GLENN: I’m writing down the Geneva Convention for civility.

PAT: I like that.

GLENN: I think you should develop that.

PAT: I like that.

GLENN: I think that is absolutely ‑‑

STU: In other words, we’re stealing your idea, Ben.

SHAPIRO: Go for it. Appreciate it.

GLENN: I just think that’s ‑‑

PAT: That’s great stuff.

GLENN: I think that’s profound. I mean, I really do. What is the ‑‑ what is the one I think that you think that, A is coming our way that people aren’t really putting together yet and, B, what is the one thing that you wish people could grab and say, guys, if you would just understand and do this,” things would begin to change?

SHAPIRO: I say the one thing I think that’s coming our way is the kind of internationalization of American values on a broad level. The attempt to take American values and make them obsolete or unseen. You are now unpatriotic if you don’t believe that we ought to sign onto Kyoto protocol. You are now unpatriotic if you don’t believe we should sign onto Agenda 21. You are now unpatriotic if you think we should sacrifice in favor of internationalism. If you don’t see this coming ‑‑ you see it played out domestically. On the fiscal cliff debate, the class warfare stuff they are pushing, that’s been pushed in Europe for years. The idea is if we defend free enterprise, that makes us bad people. If we don’t see this coming, then we’re going to lose the debate. And the way to push back against it is to label people what they are. These people are antipatriotic. They are antipatriotic. They don’t believe in patriotism. They don’t believe in American values. All the leftists who are out there talking about how, you know, they believe in the Second Amendment but then they want a UN treaty on gun control, you don’t get to have it both ways.

GLENN: Yeah, you’re not unpatriotic. You’re an anticonstitutionalist.

SHAPIRO: Exactly. Exactly.

GLENN: You’re against the Constitution and the declaration of the United States of America. And that they can’t defend because you can show them all the time. The idea that people are patriotic or not patriotic, I don’t even know what patriotic means anymore.

SHAPIRO: Right.

GLENN: I really don’t know.

SHAPIRO: This is what they’ve done. They’ve redefined patriotism to mean anything they want it to mean. They say that the centrist patriotism which is basically saying that being unpatriotic is patriotic. I mean, it defends what you’re dissenting to and what you’re dissenting from. They’ve created these slogans. Right now if you dissent from President ‑‑ from that guy, then ‑‑

GLENN: Thank you.

SHAPIRO: You are not going to ‑‑ then you’re unpatriotic, right? If you dissented from George W. Bush, then you are patriotic according to the left. They have completely hijacked the term “patriotism” to mean that if you flag‑burn, that is the highest form of patriotism but if you don’t think that people should be allowed to flag‑burn, then you’re unpatriotic. They’ve completely skewed it. So you are exactly right, Glenn. I mean, you’ve been on this for a while. Did the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are the documents that matter and we have to make an affirmative case for them again. People don’t read the Federalist Papers. They don’t know about it. People don’t know the basis for the Second Amendment. They think the basis for the Second Amendment is that you should be able to hunt. That’s not the basis for the Second Amendment. And anybody who reads the Federalist Papers knows it. We have to make an affirmative case again for why the ‑‑ I mean, it’s sad that we have to do this but this is what the left has done with their bully tactics, with their polarization of America. They’ve turned it into if you defend the Constitution, it’s because you’re a racist. Because after all, the Constitution enshrined the 3/5ths rule. So we have to go back and we have to make a fundamental case for why the Constitution matters and Declaration matters and why those who oppose it are objects of tyranny and freedom.

GLENN: Ben, you keep doing what you’re doing. I’m a huge fan of yours and I’m glad that it’s always nice to see on our own islands that there’s another island out there as well shouting just as hard, and I appreciate it.

SHAPIRO: Hey, thanks so much. You’re the best.

GLENN: You bet. Ben Shapiro. The name of the book is Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silencing America.

Good interview.

Bullies are the ultimate cowards as they seek to cause change via intimidation and by usage of coercive techniques on all levels – political, physical, economic, and all others.

This applies to unions, thugs, politicians and especially the Obama administration. All of it is a form of domestic terrorism used against the peaceful citizens of our nation and nothing ever gets done to them.
http://www.artinphoenix.com/gallery/grimm snowleopard (cat folk gallery)

Does anyone else see the larger pattern the Democrats and the Progressives have been using so effectively: Keep telling people they must give in and go along with the left while demonizing those who actually stand up for themselves.

It has produced a generation of people already accustomed to compliance and passive acceptance of authority directed against them.
landofaahs

Romney lost because the left made him look bad and did so through intimidation? Maybe Becks constant bashing of Ron Paul and his supporters that he was not smart enough to know they would need in the general election had something to do with it too. And it was all done because Ron Paul does not bow at the altar of the state of Israel. I support Israel but they are not perfect either. Now Glenn can’t help attacking Alex Jones for the same reasons. Frankly, I’m about tired of both of them because they can’t seem to focus on the real enemy; the democrats.
http://youtu.be/XEjnyMyJYTI Sam Fisher

I wish Ron Paul did win our chances would have been far better I feel. At least you could feel good about our president not being a push over and center leaning like Mitt.
http://youtu.be/XEjnyMyJYTI Sam Fisher

You see this both left and right. You see it on the right with some not all Gary Johnson supports who call everyone who disagrees with them a fascist rhino and following people around with such evil intent that they can care less about other people’s freedom of speech not all of his supporters are like this only a small few. Second the far left who of instead of debating the attack us with the same name calling us all heard the names so I will not repeat them. I say we be civil to the civil ignore the uncivil bigots with nothing better to do than attack people they do not know. I for one refuse to talk to those people anymore but I will talk to those people who call them out to show I do appreciate their cause but be warned the only way to get rid of a troll is to not give into the tactics of a troll. If they want a civil debate then I have no problems with that.

“GLENN: So how do you ‑‑ so I don’t want to become everything I despise.”

A little too late for that, Glenn.
Anonymous

The left are using bully tactics for sure, that ploy is as old as the political hills.

Glenn asks a logical question, “how do you…”….in other words, how do the conservative members of our society right this wrong. How do we become one people again – undivided, all speaking with one voice and begin to experience, once again, prosperity, happiness, real forward national progress, having healthy citizens, instead of degeneration that continually regresses from generation to generation?

In short, how do we recapture the ideals that our founding fathers inspired so long ago. How do we reinvigorate our youth to become the faithful stewards of tomorrows children?

The main thing to remember is – “WE” can’t…and we won’t, in fact, it is way to late, we have traveled light-years past the point of no return.

There is good news though, and despite the ‘left’ having overwhelming numbers in their midst who despise the thought of an All-Mighty-God ruling over their personal lives, and despite those on the ‘right’ who are primarily made up of individuals who overwhelmingly do believe in a Higher Being…unfortunately, they cannot agree as to which one they’d rather follow and worship.

So believe it or not…the one and only God is working out His purpose down here below, everything is going precisely on schedule…the days of men ruling over men, are almost over. God himself will make his home upon the earth, he will rule humankind from his chosen city of Jerusalem for a thousand years. During that time, peace will be learned and spread itself across the globe like wildfire. Citizens the world over, will for the first time in the history of the earth, truly understand why we were placed here on this miserable planet to begin with.

You are a sick Communist individual!!
BentGhazi

Liberals don’t know how to act other than as bullies. They love to get into fights when they are in the majority, and the can get aggressive and profane. It’s always their thing to dominate and control everyone around them. They don’t want guns so you can’t have one, they don’t smoke so you can’t, they don’t want sport utility vehicles so they don’t want you to have one, it’s always got to go their way, and you must submit to their ever-vacillating will.

Liberals want to always win, take everything you have, deny you everything you want, and shut down any competitive line of thought. Is this not what we have been seeing from the progressives since pResident Evil was elected in 2008? Remember when Hillary was yapping about the vast right wing conspiracy while her chubby hubby was not having sex with that woman?

They are all crazy. Now they have political power. What should we expect but more of the same?

The trolls from MM are out in force right now. Glenn Beck is about to go national cable and TV network and international news.

They’re scared shitless, hence the swarm of Media Matters hacks on the net.
BentGhazi

Alex Jones is a screaming fool with his hair on fire who believes the government caused the WTC disaster on 09/11/2001. He’s a certifiable nut case. All the people who are jumping on Beck for what he’s said about Jones aren’t smart enough to see what kind of damage Jones’s irresponsible over the top behavior is doing to the conservative cause.

He is shi* house rat crazy, and we don’t need that. We need to promote sanity and reason, and Alex Jones doesn’t do sane or reasonable. Arguing for the Second Amendment with a case of honesty, and not hyperbole is the way to go. All Jones manages to do is make responsible gun owners look like a bunch of tin foil hatters that want to shoot gophers with M-60 machine guns and flame-throwers.

He’s no good for our cause. Why you don’t get that is really unbelievable.
BentGhazi

I agree with you totally. They are like locusts trying to consume everything in sight.

People who are jumping Beck over the Alex Jones deal are too simple minded to understand that he presents a danger to conservatism and is not an asset.

Didn’t Glenn predict before Nov 6 that he felt good about Romney winning the election? The problem is that the oppsite parties were at each others’ throats all along the campaigns. The dirtier mud-slinging they could come up with, the better. Both parties are guilty of fabricating figures and news stories against each other. Where was Romney during the debates? Why didn’t he stand up to the moderators and ask for TRUTH? It is one thing to be bullied, but another to stand up to the bullies. The dems did a great job against Sarah Palin in 2008 and they just continued that tactic again in 2012, while the republicans bowed under pressure.
http://twitter.com/stlytdwck Stanly Tedwick

Read my tweets, genius. I used to like the program, but it’s clear that Glenn plans on continuing his futile activist efforts and abandoning his comedy roots completely. I’ve continued listening in the hopes that he’ll be funny again but I guess I’m done. He wouldn’t even bring back a classic bit without censoring it for his stupid new rule about Barack Obama’s name. At least, that’s what the people running the twitter account devoted to the stupid rule say. I don’t know how you people can stand listening to him and following everything that he does.

Romney was too nice Obama’s people too cruel….Barry-HUSSEIN-Obama’s life had been All mapped out from the beginning….there is no truth in him….his destiny to take the one country of peace down …to make room for the antiChrist…so the people can see who is really in control ….the people will have to make a choice…fall from grace with the administration or seek the truth….and live for eternity?The Truth Will Set You Free…But Make You Miserable First…to search your heart…?

Here is an idea: You know the other night when I mentioned the Irish phrase–”you will know them by their limping?”

Well, it occurred to me that the word “troll” has become bi-political, so to speak, LOL. So we on the correct (right) side of things, need a way to immediately identify, left wing trolls?

Nah, never mind, they wouldn’t go for it, after all, getting “knee capped” is painful…

But it’s the thought that counts?

I don’t follow his every move, nor do I totally agree with Beck on everything. Your assumption that I do tells me you don’t view any opposing viewpoint with an open mind.

We don’t have to get along, but coming here bashing people isn’t the way to win friends and influence people.
BentGhazi

What I am saying is we need to attract as many people to our cause as possible, and Alex Jones the screaming man isn’t doing that job. He repels reasonable thinkers, and it does take a degree of rational thinking to attract support.

Alex would be fine if the country was populated by conspiracy theorists that go around shouting Patrick Henry, but that simply isn’t where most Americans are at yet.

You have to admit that the truther thing is an embarrassment. It’s just crazy to believe that stuff when in this amount of time no one has any positive proof or evidence that points to that being a plausible argument.

There is no way that stuff is real.
BentGhazi

Oh, I am certain you are right. The way ahead is going to get bumpy. I heard that some in Congress, (Pelosi for one), are wanting to force a repeal of the 22nd Amendment so the dark lord may run for office yet again.

stupid people need other people to tell them who they can play with.

ben is right. civility doesn’t work — that’s what i’ve been trying to say. we have to start using their game and label them for what they are, which is treasonous. the issue here is some on the left have already come out and said they want the constitution thrown out. they haven’t made a case for why it should be tossed but they never do–they just say it loud and long and stupid people follow and swallow.

the answer is a louder call for a constitutional convention. the patriots (us) argue the federalist papers and the treasoners (them) get their “constitutional” lawyers to argue precedent but precedent won’t work because it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
landofaahs

If there is no conspiracy to destroy this country then I don’t need to listen to Glenn Beck either. Everything will be fine and I can just concentrate on making more money. As far as the truther thing, I don’t agree with that. But can I say that I trust my govt. enough that they would never do anything like that? No. Our govt. is capable of doing anything in order to gain more power and control. I can tell you this though. If our govt was not involved in 911 then they were incompetent. By the way, where was the ever vaunted Israeli intelligence prior to 911? Just asking some questions.
just a few minutes ago I turned Beck on and he is still obsessing over Alex Jones. I have turned him off and tuned in Rick and Bubba. Maybe in a couple of weeks I will turn Beck back on and see if he is still AJ bashing…or maybe I’ll just quit listeneing to him altogether. Heck I can hear that on CNN.
landofaahs

Glenn bashes the folks who don’t agree with him also. Come to think of it, all the sane people already believe in the right to bear arms, it’s the insane liberals that don’t. So it makes no difference if you talkn crazy, because you’re trying to use rational thought with irrational people. That is what does not work. Think about that a minute.
BentGhazi

You have a point, but there is always that one moment of lucidity during which the crazy can be persuaded – or at least convinced there is another path.

To much waste for too few results. People need shock therapy to get them at least thinking about what’s coming down instead of putting your head in the sand or even worse, up your lower orifice. The 2nd amnd. is the canary in the US coal mine.
landofaahs

By the way, what exactly is the “Cause” we want people to join in? By the way the truther thing is not embarassing to me, I just don’t agree with it. That kind of thin king only leads to the “everryone of us must believe exactly the same or else if people disagree with us on one thing, then that makes us wrong on all things”. You have to be able to separate, if you can’t, your sunk.

Jose Serrano, a Democrat from New York, has introduced legislation that would repeal the 22nd Amendment which bars presidents from seeking more than two terms. He has pushed similar legislation to every Congress since at least 2001. The legislation has no co-sponsors and is now headed to the House Judiciary committee. It then needs to be approved by both the House and Senate and three fourths of the states.

If you go to GovTrack, which tracks legislation and allows you to follow the progress of legislation, it gives the legislation not only a zero chance of passing but a zero chance of getting out of committee. Finally, it’s interesting to note that Nevada’s Harry Reid introduced similar legislation in 1989.

What we are witnessing is a well thought out, even brazen, plan that has been formulated for decades by the progressive left. The conservatives are only recently, finding out how thorough their preemptive strategy was. Unfortunately, now that we’re well into the game, the conservatives are finally beginning to see the standard routine of how they operate, usually its a week or so after the fact. The liberal progressive movement is flexing its muscle and they are not backing off the throttle one bit. The method of using smoke-screens has served them well, cause a crisis in one part of the political spectrum, giving yourself cover for the real intended mission of backdoor-deals made in secrecy. Even if the press finds out about it, 95% of them are already paid well in advance, for their compliance, giving the needed time for the new (illegal) policy to take root, then, when the conservatives finally become aware, a new smoke-screen is immediately put into play and this process has repeated itself numerous times alone, in the past four years.

The conservative right, should take these rumors about the 22nd amendment very serious, or before you know it, it will be repealed and a new dictatorship featuring the “dark lord” will have become reality.

Lock and load people! There is only one outcome that can happen if we rely on cvility,logic and being the Nice Guy—– slavery in a socialist/comminist controlled state. We are reaping what we have sown for more than 60 years. Call it apathy,ignorance,whatever–we no longer live in the America that existed 100yrs ago. It’s gone! It is a matter of personal survival now. Remember the movie Red Dawn –it’s coming. The powers that be control everything–the government, the banks, the courts, the Justice system, the economy,agriculture,farming. the military, the elections,the media, the Fed, Wall Street,etc. They will have no problem in doing what Stalin did to his people in Russia—arrest, prison, executions, work camps, contolling the press, speech, removing private ownwership of guns,controlling food and destroying anyone who was in their way. You will have to chose between going along with them or possibly dying to retain your freedom. Sound crazy? History does indeed repeat itself–especially when people ignore what’s happening around them and do nothing. As a country we have fought numerous wars to retain our freedoms,but we will have at least one more to fight here on American soil.
Prepare youself and your friends and family for what is coming. There is only one answer to the next 4 years and and the inevitable loss of all of our freedoms. You can put your head in the sand or your put your faith hoping that things will get better cause good always wins or LOCK AND LOAD.

You are misinterpreting my statements. No one is forcing compliant thinking here, but adherence to the Constitution is the cause. The only way the republic works, is to stick to the framer’s design. When people corrupt the Constitution we get things like we see now with a president contemplating using executive orders to bypass Congress in legislating from the White House, and we get people trying to dissect the Constitution.

All the progressives think the Constitution is expendable – it is not. The Constitution is what makes the United States. Without it, we lose the nation and freedom.

I don’t see the necessary cohesiveness needed within the conservative camp to outright demolish the opponent. If that is the intended mission, that being removing the progressive sludge from within our midst, the conservatives would probably have more of a struggle on their hands than what was bargained for.

I fear, not that I fear a libtard leftist, but I fear that going to war with ourselves will spell the end of both camps. This is why I feel the way I do.

For decades on, America has stood alone at the top of the world. Being the sole super-power, gives ample proof, there are numerous other nations salivating for just the right time to pounce and finish us off, or at least knock us off the top of the mountain. The former, would most likely in my opinion, be the end result, lets face it, a second civil-war with the last surviving super-power fighting against itself, that means there will be some serious weaponry brought to bear – from both sides, its a horrific vision alone, but when calculating in an outside force who attacks us in the midst of battle, our nation would not ever recover.

Even more, and I am aware that most do not share my biblical views, but I’ll state them all the same.

There is clear and ample evidence found in scripture that backs up my assertions, these mind you, are not my words alone, but have been written down in ages past and recorded for our time today. Most men and women have simply never afforded themselves enough time to prove to themselves, what I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt decades ago. It almost cost me my marriage, I didn’t speak to my father for twenty years because of what I have proven the bible to say. God is not giving this “hidden knowledge of his long held mystery” to just anybody, he will though, open up understanding to the one who is willing to roll up his sleeves and “prove him at his word”

I won’t go on any further with this except to say, that prophecy foretells of a time, in the not too distant future, that America in fact, does enter into a second and gruesomely bloody civil-war. The end result would shock most white Americans even to contemplate…to put it in layman’s terms, whitey gets his ass thumped. The numbers are terrifying – one out of every three Americans will soon lie dead in the streets because there will not be enough of the living left to bury them. The aliens among us (that would be blacks – Hispanics – Asians etc) will be victorious against us, but within a very short time, a foreign nation, who has long been a historical foe, will take full advantage of the dismal state of the Americas, who are now considerably hampered in this very vulnerable state and lobs a few of our own nukes back across the big pond, onto our remaining major cities. That attack will result in a second – one full third of our population becoming extinct – instantly – those who are left will have no other option but to turn to cannibalism for their very survival. After the nuclear winter has all settled to the ground and the air is safe enough to breath, the outside enemy forces who destroyed us with our own weapons in the first place, strolls across our borders with the sole purpose of gathering up our remaining population. Weak and weary, masses numbering in the millions – who are on the brink of starvation, are carted off to prison camps, where the healthy ones will be sold off as slaves. In their worst possible nightmare ever dreamed, most remaining Americans – then, at that time – will call out for Gods help, in their agonizing despair, they will remember the story that you my friend, are reading this very moment and realize for the first time in their lives, that there was a God who was trying all along, as hard as he could, to gain their attention , but unfortunately, most are too busy with their own plans apart from God. If the body count isn’t high enough yet…a full 90% of the last remaining one third of the surviving Americans will die in that miserable captive state described above, somewhere in a nation who’s language they do not understand.

That is what the bible spells-out for our immediate future and what has long been hidden in its sacred content. What is described here is at least 1000 times more frightening than the worst horror-film any of us has ever dreamed. That is why my posts are not the normal blah-blah-blah, and for the reason also for the number of dead America is facing, will in itself, essentially trigger world war three, because with America out of the way (the good guys) those with less honorable ambitions and governments, are now free and able to make their dastardly drams reality.

I understand I risk looking the fool or at least like a dooms-day-prophet, but those names no longer matter, when this nightmarish hellbent scenario happens and becomes reality, then, and only then, will our brothers and sisters of all races and creeds – who making up the American nation – understand, but by then it will be too late to stop the madness.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

OK, but I hardly think the rest of the citizens of the USA are ready for that much change. No one alive today was around when those rules were in place.

LOL. Just like cutting spending. The citizens of the USA are not ready for cuts in their programs which is why there will be no cuts, the debt ceiling will be raised after the ever constant DC drama and we will be Greece and the dollar will be toast.
The high frequency traders are making a killing off the ups and downs. Their algorithms sell and buy on small moves and since they trade millions of shares, it makes them a lot of money whereas the small investor does not trade enough volume to be profitable.
But change will come, it will be forced on us through the bond holders. 10y treasuries at 3.25% will crusg us.

BentGazi is right. When the left want something… they don’t want to do it their way… they want to force YOU do it their way.

If they think SUVs are bad… THEY can still have them, but they want to force YOU to get rid of yours first.

If they think Global Warming is a problem… they want YOU to give up your lifestile first (while they fly around to the Global Warming convention meetings in their private jets)

If they think guns are bad… they want you to give up yours while they keep theirs (hint, politicians will still be protected by armed security).

If they decide to vilify Romney for having money… but they have no problem with Al Gore or John Kerry’s wealth (hint… both of them have a higher net-worth than Mitt Romney).

Bullies like this want YOU to give up YOUR lunch money so THEY can buy cigarettes.
