Latte Liberals for Obamunism

With Air America no longer broadcasting their daily dose of wisdom from George Soros the earnest young men and women who sit around all day drinking fair trade coffee needed a new source of inspiration. Enter Annabel Park and the Coffee Party Movement! (Drink too much coffee and you'll get a "movement" all right...)

Ostensibly their purpose is to promote "civility and inclusiveness in political discourse," this of course from the folks who routinely slur conservatives as "racist tea-baggers". Upscale coffeehouse afficionados are so much more "enlightened" than Rethuglicans, right?

So instead of getting their marching orders from Rhandi Rhodes the Latte Liberals will now "cut through the noise" by reading Media Matters and Salon.

Carol is not impressed: "Wow, those are some pretty convincing sources if you're an empty-headed, Mary Poppins knock-off progressive. And Ms. Poppins, I mean no disrespect—loved your movie, hon."

Well, in their defense Carol, those sources are just a tad less excrable than Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, aren't they? When cutting through the noise, cutting off Olbermann is a pretty good place to start.

If that's what they're really going to do. Left Coast Rebel spent 5 minutes with Google and exposed the Astroturf; Ms. Park is associated with Asian Americans for Obama and her day job is to make documentary films lauding the accomplishments of her Dear Leader.

In any event, they're just another mouthpiece for progressive platitudes. From her website Ms. Park says:

We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will.

Spoken like a true Bolshevik. They want the ultimate People's Collective, government as enforcer of the "people's will". Except that the Founding Fathers established the federal government with limited power as the protector of the rights enshrined in the Constitution. One of her first blog posts is entitled "We are Democracy Advocates First and Foremost" which clearly exposes the flaw in her thinking.

The United States is not a Democracy. We are a Republic (if we can keep it). Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner. Our Constitution guarantees that Liberty (in the form of a well-armed sheep) can prevail in the face of collective tyranny.

Liberty or collectivism? The Constitution, or "collective will" subject to the vissitudes of popular opinion? Which shall our nation choose? Do I even have to ask?
