Kenneth Gladney, a St. Louis Conservative who was passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, was attacked and beaten by Obama's brownshirts: the Union Thugs making up the SEIU.

From the YouTube link...

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started.
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with Don't tread on me printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.
It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked, he said.

Remember, Obama's White House called on thugs to "punch back twice as hard" against anyone opposing his proposed Health Care reform. Seems to me to be almost an impeachable offense: calling on his nascent "Civilian National Security Force" to crack down on the heads of law-abiding protesters. Did George Bush ever do that? Hell, no! This President is much more dangerous than George Bush was ever even imagined to be.

This President is only 6 months in office, and he's trying to provoke a civil insurrection. Obama is nothing more than a goon, a Chicago goon who wants to ramrod his economically unsound Health Care plan through Congress without hearing any voiced opposition. Never mind that this very same issue nearly destroyed Bill Clinton's early Presidency (it did serve to send Hillary back to the kitchen for awhile); Obama has taken this disastrous social program as his political flagship. If this Health Care Reform goes down in flames, well, Obama is much weaker.

Which is exactly the best thing that could happen. Read my masthead, up there at the top. If Obama is weaker, then the nation will be safer.

So, how do we, Conservatives, respond to this ramped-up thuggery?

We have to be smarter than they are. That shouldn't be too hard.

We know this: Those moochers ACORN rounded up as ‘voters’ (those attracted to the far-left wing that’s taken over the once-proud Democrat Party) are likely only temporary voters; they had only the motivation of the ‘what’s in it for me?’ carrot and we might see them, as usual, become lazy and unmotivated by the next election. These moochers are not liked by the majority of Americans, who remain at center-right, at worst. I think that we’ll see a reversal in 2010...if we can ‘organize’ our community, and keep ourselves in reasonable control, and not take the bait Obama is throwing at us.

We should keep the pressure up on those to the far-left, and not do anything that would draw the negative attention Obama wants to spray on us. If we stay in the realm of center-rightedness, and not get too wacky, we’ll be joined by untold millions by 2010. And we will win at the ballot-box.

We must be Careful, though; the strategy that the Obama - Rham Emmanuel camp is concocting is to negativize the meaning of our protests, by process of demonization. We have to try to keep our efforts visible, but within the realm of our core convictions. And we can't allow ourselves to respond with any violence. Obama would declare Martial Law in a heartbeat; that's right up his alley. Next, he would attempt to confiscate our arms.

In other words, we must keep our noses clean. Don't rise to Obama's SEIU - ACORN bait. Don't allow SEIU - ACORN to provoke violence. Keep lawyered up. Fight thuggery with legal tactics.



Join Americans for a Limited Government, and push for a Special Prosecutor to investigate the link between Obama and his brownshirts. We have to derail Obama's tactics, before things get out of hand.
