| Congressman Jim McDermott (D-Washington) warns the U.S. could turn into a scene from Les Misérables without a ´we´ mentality in an interview with C-SPAN´s "Washington Journal" on Tuesday. McDERMOTT: This whole society is gradually changing in response to what’s going on. Now, we’re in a very difficult period right now, because we have a lot of people who suddenly think it’s all about me. And it isn’t about me; it’s about we. If we don’t take care of one another, and we say everybody’s on their own, then it will simply fall apart as a society:

The left has been working on dividing this nation ever since the "civil rights" acts of the 1960´s opened the borders to unindustrious third worlders and LBJ´s "Great Society / War on Poverty" legislation on which he remarked "I´ll have them N----´s voting Democrat for the next 200 years". Identity politics and pitting groups against each other are the only thing McDermott´s party has been engaged in for decades. Who the hell does he think he´s kidding? Oh that´s right.....low information 0bama voters, who else?

Jim, the mob scenes won´t be because of the ´me mentality´. They will begin only because WTP are mad as hell with all the crap you people keep pushing down our throats. Book covers can be so deceiving. You certainly look like a distinguished, intelligent man, until one looks inside.
Either that or the Blacks all hate the whites

I don´t think we have to worry that our people will starve...we will all take care of each other if we come to a calamity. This leftist just wants us to believe that only the Democrats know what to do when it happens....he is a jerk.

This remark after he spent his whole life working to make society fall apart. These pompous Democrats lecturing the rest of us are really starting to get under my hide.
Not so subtle warning about what the Dems have in store for us if we don´t pony up the cash.

Oh sure, the urban animals and parasites are really going to care about anybody but themselves. The only time they give decent, hardworking people any thought at all is when they want more money from them, by hook or crook. This guy´s insane whatever else he may be.

Come on Jim, its such a short step from here. You are so close to having the blinders fall off. Just a little nudge...
Ask why it has become all about me and not we. Could it possibly be the lefts constant categorization of all by their victim or oppressor status? The replacement of God with government? The constant effort to provide a society completely devoid of anything that makes anyone uncomfortable for any reason? The drumbeat of I can´t because someone did this to my great grandfathers second cousin?
Mr. Demint, one cannot ever consider "we" until they inderstand exactly who "me" is AND how "Me" fits into societys moral order.
In the movie Blast from the past Troy asks Adam, fresh from 1960´s America, why everyone seems to like him. Adam tells Troy "Manners" and explains that "Manners are the things we do to make the people around us feel comfortable".
I love that quaote because somewhere in the last 40 years of government run education that definition has become twisted, and it explains an awful lot about the lefts culture of victimhood.
If our out of step hero had been educated in the late 80´s he would have answered: "manners are what other people should do to make me comfortable" Stated with the conviction of someone who has been taught that the most important thing in the universe is their own comfort.

If we don’t take care of one another
But there is no "one another." "One another" sounds like a two-way street, but it´s not that way.
What we have is one side taking from the other and all we get in return is more "gimme, gimme, gimme."

Equality means person A and B decides what person C and D can have. And they take a cut. So equality doesn´t lead to liberty. Liberty is what people want and will be the reason for riots in the street.

The 65 million brain-dead lemmings who re-elected Obama last November are not ´we.´ They are ´them´ and they´re after what ´we´ have. Obama, McDermott and others of their ilk are the ones throwing gasoline on the fire and will be responsible for creating those mobs.

Apparently Jimmy gets his history lessons from movies. The French revolution had many catalysts but the left gloms onto just one: oppression. One of the big factors of the revolution was the huge debt France had piled up in financing all its wars. The monarch attempted to service this debt by taxing the crap out of the non-privileged to the point that the regular folks had little to nothing to spend on themselves let alone starting a business or buying land to farm. Bread became very exspensive as did wine. The priveleged few (think today´s polticians)were not willing to give up their booty so expected the working class (today´s middle and upper classes)to take up the slack.

McDermott, the former Seattle trick cyclist, sucks up 70% of the vote from his sheepled constituency in West Seattle - he is very pink almost red. The cautionary note here is for We the People to be aware that these staged tragedy events and attempts to take away legally owned guns are but bait - bait to incite riot, which will be the ultimate reason for mandatory confiscation of guns and abolition of the 2nd amendment. Mc Dermott is firing a starting salvo - watch out for similar red flags.Their deviousness exceeds our incredulity.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

"Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
