The historically famous crossing of the River Rubicon, just north of San Marino in Northern Italy, is not much remembered as the flashpoint where Caesar touched off civil war in 49 B.C. Instead, it is thought of by most people as a point in a course of action from which there is simply no return. We think it is time for America to recognize that such a pivotal point in our American democracy may well be at hand.
President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid apparently believe the time is ripe to deliver to the political left the full-blown statist society that has been the centerpiece of the far left’s agenda for a hundred years. And make no mistake about it, once we arrive at that degree of statist reliance on government, there will be no turning back. We will not be able to escape the trillions of dollars of debt and the many tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities that will be left to posterity and will hobble generations to come. We cannot escape that reality.

Rome did not fall in one day but the day Caesar crossed the Rubicon is when the fall started. We’ve been sliding towards dictatorship for some time but I think of the failed impeachment of Clinton as the same point. It’s where mob rule triumphed over the rule of law. (Another word for someone above the law : King )
At least Caesar had a plan-—and ability to go with it.

And Caesar had an army. Zero might think he has one but I wouldn’t count on it.
