Take Your Olive Branch & Shove It Democrats

width=71By Michelle Malkin On the eve of a historic midterm election upheaval President Barack Obama tried to walk back his gratuitous slap at Americans who oppose his radical progressive agenda. I probably should have used the word opponents instead of enemies to describe political adversaries Obama admitted Monday. Probably? Voters have spoken: Theyve had enough. Enough of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winners rhetorical abuse.     Here is an ironclad certainty: Its too little too late for the antagonist-in-chief to paper over two years of relentless Democratic incivility and hate toward his domestic enemies. Enough of his feints at bipartisanship. Whatever the final tally this weeks turnover in Congress is a GOP mandate for legislative pugilism not peace. Voters have had enough of big government meddlers getting things done. They are sending fresh blood to the nations Capitol to get things undone. Just two short years ago Obama campaigned as the transcendent unifier. Young and old rich and poor Democrat and Republican black white Hispanic Asian Native American gay straight disabled and not disabled Americans have sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of red states and blue states he proclaimed. We have been and always will be the United States of America. Its been an Us vs. Them freefall ever since. We dont mind the Republicans joining us Obama taunted a few weeks ago. They can come for the ride but they gotta sit in back. Theyre counting on young people staying home and union members staying home and black folks staying home the fear-mongering agent of hope and change jeered on the campaign trail last month. You would think theyd be saying thank you he sneered last April when millions turned out for the nationwide Tax Day tea party protests. I want them just to get out of the way and dont do a lot of talking he scoffed in response to prescient critics of the federal trillion-dollar stimulus boondoggle. In addition to labeling GOP opponents of his open-borders policies enemies who needed to be punished by Latino voters Obama accused them -- that is us -- of lacking patriotism. Those arent the kinds of folks who represent our core American values he told viewers of the Spanish-language network Univision. Democratic leaders have taken their cue from Team Obamas persistent politics of polarization. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer called vocal citizens who protested the federal health care takeover bill during the town hall revolts of 2009 un-American too. Remember? These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views -- but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American Pelosi and Hoyer blasted in an op-ed piece for USA Today last summer. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades. This from the woman who called for a vengeful government investigation of grassroots opponents of the Ground Zero mosque. Obamas pal Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida whom the president hailed as an outstanding member of Congress accused Republicans of wanting elderly people to die quickly and of presiding over a holocaust in America. Vice President Joe Biden hailed Grayson as a guy who doesnt back away from a fight and doesnt back down from what he believes in and told him at a fundraiser: We owe you one buddy. No mention of Graysons smear of a female Federal Reserve adviser as a K Street whore. In California entrenched incumbent jerk Pete Stark derided immigration enforcement activists at a town hall by asking: Who are you going to kill today? To an elderly constituent who opposed the health care bill Stark retorted: I wouldnt dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldnt be worth wasting the urine. As voters who have been maligned by the ruling majority as stupid unwashed racist selfish and violent headed to the polls Tuesday Democrats released talking points attacking Republican leaders who are not willing to compromise. But no compromise is exactly the message that un-American Americans delivered to Washington this campaign season: No more compromising deals behind closed doors. No more compromising bailouts in times of manufactured crisis. No more compromising conservative principles for D.C. party elites. No more compromising the American economy for left-wing special interests. No more compromising transparency and ethics for bureaucratic self-preservation. Let us be clear in case it hasnt fully sunk into the minds of Obama and the trash-talking Democrats yet: You can take your faux olive branch and shove it. Thank you.
