FTA: "This is a coup. And we've relied on cowards, charlatans, or know-nothings on "our" side to help push back against it."

The whole article is much, much better than this excerpt. Go back and check it out. A long read, but an essential one.

Absolutely spot on, and well worth the time to read.

We are in a war, no two ways about it. Bipartisanship is dead, the left has no use for us (except to pay the bills).

Unless we fight back, now, and hard, we face a bleak future of servitude.

This is scary but we have to recognize that the current situation represents the end game in a century long effort to deconstruct the form of government the founders gave us - our constitutional republic.

The whole point of the constitution is to preserve individual liberty by limiting the scope of government. Almost no Americans today understand that the federal government has no legitimate authority outside of the areas designated to it by the constitution - the “enumerated powers.”

The whole purpose of the progressive agenda is to end all meaningful constitutional limits on government power. In fact, as interpreted by liberals the meaning of “progressive” is “progressing past the outdated and now absurd constitution.”

We need to recognize that we are down to the point of no return in the fight to preserve liberty. If we loose the next couple of years it will be lost for generations, probably forever.

If this is a coup in plain sight, than what would calling for a Constitutional Convention be?

This week from CBS political director John Dickerson:

“The president who came into office speaking in lofty terms about bipartisanship and cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys the GOP. If he wants to transform American politics, he must go for the throat.”

Here is a link to the original article. The link in AmericanThinker is dead - imagine that?

Obama's network of special-interest groups has been noted many times.

Here's an example from last August.

How much money will they throw into their effort?

Obomas stimulus package will go a long way. He stole enough from the American taxpayer to cover it all.
This is why no one knows where the money went. He needed it to pay for his own private army - today, they're better funded and better armed than the American military.

(I don't all think those Fast and Furious weapons went to Mexico, because the Mexican government isn't getting involved in the scandal at all. Add to that the ammo he's been shipping around the country...for some reason....)

Remember - the democrats have run out of other peoples money. If we weren't printing monopoly money as fast a speeding bullets right now, our economy wouldn't exist. Their printing of fake money can't go on forever. (Other nations are starting to notice our cash being watered down at a record pace, and they want their gold sent back to their own countries.)

Agreed. Saved the print version.
Great pull-quote, unfortunately from Grover Norquist: “They know they can’t do this for you, but they’ve hired these nice people to draw chalk outlines of your kids, and that’s supposed to make you feel better.”

The ONLY way America can avoid a one party totalitarian system is for the GOP to start PLAYING HARDBALL.. If a black is a racist, CALL HIM A RACIST. The media lies and is in bed with 0bama, CALL THEM LIARS AND WHORES FOR THE REGIME.. The GOP should get ‘all up in 0bama’s grill’ about BENGHAZI. Call for impeachment hearings for the cover-up let alone the dereliction of duty on behalf of the CIC. The GOP should REFUSE to raise the debt celing, and CALL FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF HARRY REID FOR VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW BY NOT PASSING A BUDGET. The Dems don’t want a budget because they can’t BANKRUPT AND CRASH our free-market, capitalist Republic if there was a budget!

So the things we are focussed on now (except the 2nd Amendment issue) is just a distraction.

Here is something else to read - Presidential Coups d’etat and regime change in Latin American and Soviet Successor States:Lessons for Democratic Theory. by Maxwell A. Cameron Working Paper#249 - February 1998

Here is the abstract
What safeguards democracy when the demos allows its own voice to be silenced? In Latin American and Soviet successor states this problem took a novel form in the 1990s: that of the self-inflicted presidential coup d’etat, or autogolpe. In Peru, Guatemala and Russian presidents closed congress, suspended the constitution, and sought to rule by decree until referenda or new legislative elections could be held to ratify a regime with broader executive powers. Three contrasting traditions of democratic theory are assessed in light of autogolpes:electoral, liberal, and deliberative democracy.

This is 45 pages long. Read it for yourself and I honestly believe you will see what Obama’s full intent is to put into play democratic theory of a combination of the political theories in the working paper.
