America's 'November Revolution'
The American Thinker ^ | April 19, 2009 | John Griffing

"Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste. They are opportunities to do big things." - Rahm Emmanuel

In our recent election, many Americans voted for a Savior, not a president.

Americans were enamored with the idea of making history in this election, and in that sense we have gotten what we wanted. Unfortunately, Barack Obama is the wrong man, and this is definitely the wrong time.

In fact, the timing couldn't be worse. We have in recent years vastly expanded the powers and autonomy of the Executive Branch, removing checks and balances along the way. Owing in part to well-intentioned conservative attempts to more effectively fight Islamic terrorism, the machinery of US dictatorship is already in place. Security measures like The Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, recent revisions of the Posse Commitatus Act, and National Presidential Directive 51 have all served to strengthen our national security in the short term, but with long-term threats to our individual liberties and great risk of abuse in the wrong hands. Now we have handed this power over to the most unabashedly leftist radical ever to hold Presidential office.

America is now seeing the results of its own revolution, a peaceful November Revolution unlike Russia's of almost a century ago, responding to multiple staged crises with pleas for our new leader to save us from ourselves.

Excellent article, thanks for posting.

President Obama has even begun making preparations for martial law, stationing 80,000 troops in the US as a part of his new "Consequence Management Response Force" to deal with the domestic upheaval and strategic social chaos caused by mass unemployment and a vacuum of public morality.

In a great twist of irony, his blatant violation of laws restricting the domestic use of the US military was made possible by the convenient revisions of the Posse Commitatus Act under the Bush Administration. Now the man of the hour is Barack Obama, and he is looking for an opportunity to cross the Rubicon.

The revolution happened before November— as soon as the primaries were determined in fact.

The banksters couldn’t lose. They had McCain on one hand, corrupt as hell, as evidenced from the S&L scandal years before, or they had Obama the hand picked puppet of Wall Street and the far left.

Either way, it was a lock.

As soon as they were sure about the outcome, Paulson marched into the Capitol and threatened Congress with martial law and the destruction of the economy if they didn’t get their trillions.

The election of Obama was just another step along the way, just another phase of the logical progression of events.

Teh hyper-leftist policies of this administaion could very likely set the “progressive” cause back decades in the coming elections. America needs a conservative candidate w/ the fortitude of Ronald Reagan who will have a few of his own rose garden signing ceremonies, undoing all of Obama’s radical marxists policies.

Yup. And if we dared to criticize the Patriot Act in past years, we were labeled terrorist symnpathizers, losertarians, etc etc. Meanwhile, now we have a situation WAY WORSE than Janet Reno’s Justice Department.

Oh, things are looking just peachy now. Hope all you Bushbots are happy. We tried to warn you...

“Hope all you Bushbots are happy. We tried to warn you”

So you voted for Gore and Kerry?

That’s the problem. Zer0 is paving the way for a conservative candidate but where is that strong leader we need?

I was hoping someone of the same caliber as the current TX Governor. He gets it.

Nope. We had primaries in 2000 and 2008, remember? Civics 101...

By the way, the Patriot Act had nothing to do with Presidential Elections.

Think a little deeper.

no he really doesn't. .... He's like another fake conservative .. Chet Edwards. Talk big in Texas and then go to Washington and become a Nancy Pelosi butt boy.

He is looking directly into the Abyss, and if he does not blink, it will not be pretty.

Don't let Governor Goodhair fool you...he is just positioning himself to the right of Kay Bailout Hutchinson. He is better than she is, but that ain't saying much.

I'm referring to the term “Bushbot”. You know, the term the liberals came up with when trying to insult people who voted for Mr. Bush instead of Gore and Kerry?

How does one’s support or non-support of the Patriot Act make them deserving of such a liberal slur?

People are not yet willing to let go of the quaint idea that Republicans and Democrats are two separate parties. Once they do, there might be a basis for discussion of what steps to take next.

Consider it a libertarian slur coming from me.
