Openly mock the dissenters and let them know that they are not welcome as members of the party. Obama only needs to follow the recent example of the newest bipartisan Climate Change proponent, the Centrist Senator Lindsey Graham. The Obama Drones aren't going to let the left be taken over by poopy pants extremist Mr. Greenwald, just like Lindsey Graham isn't going to let the GOP be taken over by poopy pants extremist Ron Paul.

Graham: GOP 'not going to be the party of angry white guys'

Posted: October 13th, 2009 01:35 PM ET

(CNN) – South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has always enjoyed a little back-and-forth with belligerent audiences.

He was at it again on Monday night as he faced down an angry town hall crowd in Greenville packed with libertarians and Tea Party activists who accused at the Republican senator of ditching conservative principles by working with Democrats on issues like climate change and voting to send Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.

But Graham stressed a mantra he's repeated many times since his friend John McCain lost the presidential election last November — that the GOP must reach out to different constituencies, or face extinction.

"I'm not going to leave the Republican Party," Graham said when one questioned asked him why he hasn't yet joined the Democrats. "I'm going to grow it. We're not going to be the party of angry white guys."

His comments were met with a salvo of boos and shouts of "Ron Paul!"

"I love this party," he responded. "I'm not going to be let it be hijacked by Ron Paul."

Graham emphasized his conservative bona fides — particularly his record of opposing abortion rights and support of gun rights — but said GOP needs to build a broader coalition. Otherwise, he warned, those trying to purify the party will turn Congress over "to the most liberal people in the world because somebody disagrees with you."

"I'm going to find people in Maine, Delaware, Illinois and other places that can win," he said. "And I'm going to help them, and we're going to move this party and this country forward. If you don't like it, you can leave."

All the Democrats need to do is take a page from the Republicans and not let the party be taken over by angry homosexuals in Brazil.

And if Obama doesn't match up to the historical example of Truman sacking MacArthur and Lincoln sacking McClellan ...

well ...

at least he made noises about thinking about whether to take the generals' advice or not. Is there a prize for that?

Be careful, according to UT's newest concern troll what you are implying is an impossible nutjob scenario. As we have all leaned over the past decade or so, Generals such as Petreaus and McCrystal swore oaths to carry out the the wishes of their Commander and Chief. They are too pure to let politics get in the way of carrying out said wishes, and would therefore never behave in such a way as to compromise their Commander and Chief's benevolent agenda even if they personally opposed Dear Leader's agenda. They are good honest selfless soldiers who sacrifice their politics defending our freedoms.

The last Peacekeeper was decommissioned in 2005 Liz and Tom need to get their propaganda straight!

Liz Cheney anyway...

Liz Cheney and Tom Friedman Agree: Give the US Military the Nobel

Jim Lobe, October 13, 2009

One of the most notable developments surrounding the debate about the Nobel Committee’s decision to award Obama its peace prize has been the apparently spontaneous agreement by both Tom Friedman and Liz Cheney that the president should make the occasion a celebration of the U.S. military. It speaks volumes about the ideological anchorlessness of Friedman, who, according to a recent National Journal survey of Democratic and Republican insiders, is the media personality with the single greatest influence among party elites.

Here’s Cheney on “Fox News Sunday” after denouncing the Committee’s decision as a “farce.”

“But I do think he [Obama] could send a real signal here. I think what he ought to do frankly is send a mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military and frankly to send the message to remind the Nobel committee that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today.”

And here’s Friedman after expressing dismay “that the most important prize in the world has been devalued in this way” in his column published Saturday, entitled “The Peace (Keepers) Prize.” Most of the column consists of “the speech I hope he will give” when he accepts the prize in Oslo Dec 10:

“Let me begin by thanking the Nobel committee for awarding me this prize, the highest award to which any statesman can aspire. As I said on the day it was announced, ‘I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize.’ Therefore, upon reflection, I cannot accept this award on my behalf at all.

“But I will accept it on behalf of the most important peacekeepers in the world for the last century — the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.”

Praise be to the Peacemakers. They must mean this Peacekeeper:

The LGM-118A Peacekeeper, initially known as the "MX missile" (for Missile-eXperimental), was a land-based ICBM deployed by the United States starting in 1986. A total of 50 missiles were deployed.
