If there is one thing we’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that the Chicago machine that now rules Washington will go to any lengths to get what it wants. It will bully you, push you around and ultimately demonize you in to destruction if that is a requirement for continued power.

We’ve seen this for five years now. They knew a rich Capitalist who supported the core of Obamacare could be pinned down and kicked in the head until destruction was present. They wanted Romney the whole time, and they got him. Then, they destroyed him.

Post election we now see Obama’s Chicago machine setting its eyes on conservatism as a whole. It’s no longer about influential individuals who stand in his way. It’s now about half of the nation who stands in his way. And he’s going to demonize us and work towards our ultimate destruction.

The key here, and the part that most Republicans and conservative “leaders” will miss, is that Obama will accomplish this through crafty use of our language and message marketing 101. You see, their team has already successfully beaten us down with words that project an image we cannot safely oppose (yet).

Words like progress, forward, fairness, equality, change for instance. The use of these words alone insinuate those who do not embrace them are opposed to them. Are conservatives genuinely trying to create an unfair world? Are we seriously trying to make America unequal? According to half the country, we are. And this is all thanks to the most divisive President in the history of our nation.

Be warned, friends. Obama’s Chicago machine is about to take it to a whole new level. In his inaugural speech Barack Obama used a plethora of code words. Perhaps our crew will analyze and report on them in the coming days. But until we can, let’s look at one of the most profound words to come out of the day.

Absolutism: An absolute doctrine, principle, or standard

The NRA boss picked up on this and had quite a bit to say about it. Wayne LaPierre knows full well this is leading to an epic war surrounding the 2nd Amendment. Those who think Obama’s soft announcement on his “Executive Actions” last week will be the end of it are badly mistaken. Obama has been plans, and they don’t involve him giving up on his effort to weaken, if not completely dismantle the 2nd Amendment.
Keep in mind that while many of Obama’s actions seem abrupt and surprising for us, he actually performs them in a very methodical manner. Every move is calculated. Every move is carefully crafted as part of a grander scheme. We won’t ever see a press conference with Obama saying he will sign something that destroys the 2nd Amendment in one stroke. He’ll carefully deconstruct it piece by piece over the next four years.

Obama’s use of the word absolute is telling of his upcoming war of narratives. He’s pivoting to back us into a corner where we are seen as irrational and unable to be fluid in our views. He’s painting himself as a guy who feels pain for victims of violent crime, while we allegedly ignore that pain and immediately raise our firearms in the air with pro-2nd amendment signs in our hands.

In Obama’s eyes, and the eyes of the loyalists who blindly follow him, Obama is the healer and the rest of us are unfair, regressive, uncaring absolutists.

In a post-speech press conference White House thug Jay Carney was asked about Obama’s liberalism clearly present in his speech. Carney answered with this.
CARNEY: I would reject the idea that this was an “ism” speech. This was in fact the opposite of that . . .

And I hardly think that pursuit of equal rights, pursuit of comprehensive immigration reform, pursuit of sensible policies that deal with climate change and enhance our energy independence are ideological. The only “ism” that was a part of that speech was his rejection of absolutism . . .

Q Not on behalf of liberalism or progressivism?

CARNEY: Of course not. It’s on behalf of ideas that represent who we are as Americans. I mean, if you’re suggesting that it’s — I would reject the idea that pursuit of equal rights is a Democratic-only pursuit. Or pursuit of energy legislation that enhances our independence, increases our production of domestic forms of energy and addresses climate change is only a province of liberalism or the Democratic Party. I think — I would hope — I know that Republicans would reject that, too.

So this is his vision for how we can move together forward.

Catch that? Obama’s rejection of absolutism? In essence, this is a confession that Obama outright rejects the position of tens of millions, if not over a hundred million Americans that he is bound by oath to represent. So is this President actually “rejecting” potentially half of all American citizens? Is he truly that divisive?

Obama’s effort to paint the position of rights guaranteed by the Constitution as unacceptable absolutism puts the entire structure of government and the entire conservative movement on notice. The Supreme Court will now think twice before becoming labeled “absolutists.” The House and Senate will cower at TV ads pinning them to the absolutists movement.

Conservatives need to be thinking of this preemptively. We need to be fully aware this is what lies ahead and have a strategy in place to help side-step the attack and be ready with a counter move. Otherwise we’re going to find ourselves in a dark corner wondering what happened and how we lost it all.
