One Party Rule Forever!
Rhinoceros Times ^ | February 19, 2009 | Orson Scott Card

Posted on 02/20/2009 1:33:57 PM PST by lady lawyer

Because the mainstream press refuses to see anything wrong in the Obama administration, even the most outrageous actions are given astonishingly gentle treatment – if they get any treatment at all.

So of course we hear almost nothing about the coup d'etat that is under way in the White House.

People have been talking about a "historic realignment," but of course that is nonsense. Most Americans report mostly conservative viewpoints on most issues. That hasn't changed.

What will change, apparently, is how many voters the Obama administration can produce out of thin air to swing the next election. And as many elections as possible after that.

How is Obama going to accomplish this? He has just moved the constitutionally-required census from the Commerce Department to the White House – specifically putting it under the thumb of his political strategist, Rahm Emanuel.

Here's why it matters:

. . .

Lobby your state governments to file suit in the US Supreme Court, challenging the right of the president to control the census.

And if that doesn't work, lobby your state legislatures to call for a new Constitutional Convention in order to pass a constitutional amendment that requires that the census be conducted by an independent agency, which is allowed to count only living people who are actually located and named, with no "estimates" and no fudging.

Obama and Emanuel and others involved in this coup are counting on the media to sweep this under the rug, so that Americans won't get all agitated about something as dull as the census.

So don't let yourself get bored or distracted. Your vote is about to be discounted. Your most basic freedom as an American – the right to vote and have a real chance at changing things – is being taken away.

Check with your friends in Mexico and Cuba and the old Communist bloc about how much they enjoyed generations of one-party rule.

Because that's what Obama decided to try for in his first month in office.

With republicans in bed with the democrats we’ve had one party rule for some time.

Even the new RNC chair, Steele, is an anti-gun POS.

We’ve had de facto “one party rule” for generations. Might as well call it the “Demopublican” party. The party has two wings (”leftish” and “rightish”) and the “leftish” wing of the party is in ascendancy right now. This is our sad fate, as our system is designed to strangle third-parties in their cribs.

Stopped reading there, as it's factually wrong.

The Majority Of The American People© voted Leftist. They want, yearn for, and embrace, Socialism.

You may be right. But I still believe that, if the MSM had reported even 50 percent of the truth about Obama, he would not have been elected.

which is allowed to count only living people who are actually located and named

How about only living U.S. Citizens actually located and named?

Here so you will understand where I stand on RINO’s and what Steele’s position is on the 2nd admendemnt.

Mr. Steele on Guns:

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.

Oh and here is yesterday’s thread on FR about Steele saying we need republicans who are into hip-hop and other nonsense.

The man is a total moroon.

“The Democratic Party has demonstrated, time and time again, their absolute hatred of Democracy.”

Goes without saying. Every decision coming out of this Democrat Administration will be crafted to enhance power. Every line item of Federal expenditure will be directed toward buying power. Since the American spirit has been subverted by a dissolute popular culture, the surrender of life and liberty may go unmarked.

Statement: "People have been talking about a "historic realignment,....."

Response: I agree that it is an historic alignment and is even a coup. People that do not even belong to our Euro American society for moral, religious and other reasons are now in positions of authority. In short, the outcasts are now in charge. One hell of a brawl is coming. 2010!

Try again. You purposely mischaracterised his comment, "We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”

Do you still think he is a POS?

We've had one party rule for most of the 20th century.

Amazes me that the anti-"third" party crowd continues to fire the tommy gun into its collective foot.

Nice try, read again his comments concerning gun rights.

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them?
