Tea Partiers Get Valuable Lesson from … David Axelrod

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/tea-partiers-get-valuable-lesson-from-david-axelrod/

+Quote, which is very important: "Barack Obama considers this a revolution against the pillars of American liberty, and nothing short of absolute, ignominious defeat in all branches of the federal government is going to dissuade his revolutionary zeal. Tea partiers winning a battle here and there is a pesky thorn in his side — nothing more. Barack Obama has declared this a fight to the very end."

And what does this mean? That Obama is hellbent on achieving his aims; and reverse-engineering what he DOES, his aim is to bring America down. He is becoming a clear and present danger to America, and one effort needs to be paying attention to how to - peacefully and legally - remove him from office ASAP.

ELDER: Obama to Critics: Where's Armageddon?
