ARC's 1st Law: As a "progressive" online discussion grows longer, the probability of a nefarious reference to Karl Rove approaches one

Battle for America

H/T to the often unemployed nutjob Eric Blumrich.

The Battle for America has begun

From the looks of this video... it seems like the "Battle for America" is going to be waged in New York City. I don't think Alrick ever thought about venturing out of his liberal bubble.

Frankly, I really think they should've realized that elections are the time to make your case and persuade your citizens... although, I have a feeling that Eric & Co are thinking about more than just persuading us... good thing they believe in gun control.

Also, isn't it amazing how negative these folks are? I mean, from the script they're rattling off, you'd think we live in some authoritarian regime comparable to North Korea. Of course, most of these folks would see NK as a true people's republic, I'm sure... I mean, it's got "People's Republic" in the name of the country, right? Maybe it's the fact that they all live in New York... I don't know. What IS their problem, anyway? Why the visions of dark clouds covering this country?

And do these platitudes really energize people? There's no "there" there... What exactly do you want to change, Alrick & Co? This is just broad strokes without any focus. Come on... out with it, people!! Someone in your video should just out and out say "It's time to redistribute the wealth and give economic freedom to all - just like Stalin did."

wusses... Can't even tell us what you want to revolt over or what you actually want to do. (And this guy gets highlighted on IFC??? Come ON!!! )

This video was created by Alrick A. Brown (filmmaker). You may remember his previous work, SuperN*****

***UPDATE***
Evan Coyne Maloney of Brain Terminal may offer insight into what these folks have in mind when they talk about a "Battle for America."

Brian Adds: Ok, I watched it. And I have to say I don't get it. As the St. illustrates above, it's all just images and sounds and words but it signifies nothing. The Battle has begun? How? What are you going to do? What are your ideas? You don't have any, other than to proclaim Republican's as fatcats, and nazi's and tell us how morally superior you feel.
