The rule of law is now the rule of federal dictate.
We are at the stage encountered when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed.
The people in the voting majority will be the people for whom the federal oligarchy focuses, to consolidate the federal jobs, and the powers of labor and income for those industries sympathetic to federal rule.
The unions will be empowered on a much broader scale now, the state legislatures will be made beholden to the federal coffers to stay afloat and pay the state government employees, and the orgs that can deliver the number of votes (not voters, the number of votes) will be financially empowered and put to work consolidating the power of the ruling party, the Democrats.
America ceased to be a Constitutional Republic and slid into being a federal oligarchy today, and most of the people heiling and bowing before this affirmative action fraud want it that way ... and perhaps a few conservative website owners and talking-head show clowns in radio and television.
Time to not make waves, to avoid becoming the focus of federal goons wielding a fairness doctrine. Standing up for the Constitution is too risky, draws too much attention. After all, the clause of eligibility for the presidency is so weak, so ... passe.
Meant to ping you guys.
I think much prayer and deep contemplation is the next step.

***Yikes.

***Good analysis. A sort of majoritized fascism.
The unions will be empowered on a much broader scale now, the state legislatures will be made beholden to the federal coffers to stay afloat and pay the state government employees, and the orgs that can deliver the number of votes (not voters, the number of votes) will be financially empowered and put to work consolidating the power of the ruling party, the Democrats.
***And when it all comes crashing down, they’ll blame the republicans. A perfect scam.
America ceased to be a Constitutional Republic and slid into being a federal oligarchy today,
***I agree. Historians will see this as the crossing of the Rubicon.
and most of the people heiling and bowing before this affirmative action fraud want it that way ...
***Like Germans did in the 1930’s. It wasn’t imposed from the top against the wishes of the majority population.
and perhaps a few conservative website owners and talking-head show clowns in radio and television.
***I can see that for the radio & TV clowns because they’re in a business to make money.
Time to not make waves, to avoid becoming the focus of federal goons wielding a fairness doctrine.
***Yup. When I first signed on at FR, there was a lot of discussion about Clintoon going after conservatives with tax audits. That’s where I got my original login name. Now we just have to see what tools zer0bama will use. Tax audits, fairness doctrine, new declaration of independence, “constitution is a fundamentally flawed document” - type thinking, Obama version of brown shirts, online worshippers, Chicago politics tactics learned at the feet of William Ayers and Rev. Wright... there seems to be a lot more tools for zer0bama than Clintoon had. I remember seeing comments that if there were an internet around in 1992, Clintoon would never have been elected. Well, there’s an internet now, and that didn’t start a marxist usurper with terrorist ties and a wife & pastor who hate America from becoming president.
Standing up for the Constitution is too risky, draws too much attention. After all, the clause of eligibility for the presidency is so weak, so ... passe.
***Maybe FR should just change that first line on the front page, in the “Statement by FR’s Founder:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution “...
You do make a good point.
I was trying to use generic language that partisans cannot use to attack me. I see the Constitution as a limiting powers if the governemtn document, while Obama sees it as a negative rights of the government document.
It's true that the Constitution is in a sense "weak" in that it assumes honest, honorable people will follow it. When people work to go around its intent, and factions hang together to support a dishonest interpretation, then nothing can stop the lack of adherence to the Constitution.
We accept the Supreme Court finding "emanations from penumbras" because we respect the authority of the court, this time.
We accept the Supreme Court finding the takings of private property for other private uses because we accept the authority of the court, this time.
We accept the Supreme Court refusing to hear qualification grievances on flimsy grounds of "standing" because we accept the authority of the court, this time.
But sometime, soon, as we see more and more factions overtly working against the interests of the consent of the governed by using our honest consent against us, we will have to stop accepting the authority of others.
I don't know where that point is.
If the Court is unwilling to enforce Article II, and if it is unwilling to enforce the Amendment I right to petition the government for grievances, and if it is unwilling to enforce Amendment XX qualifications of the president-elect, then why should we enforce Amendment XVI income tax collection? If the court is unwilling to protect Amendment V takings of private property, or Amendment IV protections of ones papers and possessions, then what will come of Amendment II rights of defense of said papers and possessions?
