Just like Socialist experiments elsewhere. They never survive long without total control of the press and without violently oppressing any opposition.
Darker days lie ahead.

Obamanomics may be bad for the country but the president's policies have been great for conservative authors.
From the Politico
As much as both men might hate to admit it, Barack Obama has been very, very good to Mark Levin.
Levin is living the talk-radio dream: His three-hour broadcast is aired on more than 150 stations to more than 5 million listeners a day. And he has the hottest subject in the world: Obama.
The president, Levin pronounces almost daily, is a failure, a liar and a “statist” who is trying to destroy individual freedom. The broadcaster is accompanied by a Greek chorus of callers whose love for Levin is rivaled only by their disdain for the president of the United States.

Hah, they just want their cut.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Obama, Pelosi, Feinstein, Clinton, etc, could turn this country into their own personal fiefdom, they would do it.
Just like Socialist experiments elsewhere. They never survive long without total control of the press and without violently oppressing any opposition.
Darker days lie ahead.
I am sure any true conservative patriot would prefer NOT “cashing in” if it meant NO odumbo.
A concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry
Carefully planned and executed by the Chicago Style Mafioso which Obama is well schooled in and connected to. Other forms which aptly describe Obama are:
Despotism is a form of government by a single authority, either an individual or tightly knit group, which rules with absolute political power.
Kleptocracy: (from Greek klepto=theft and kratos=rule) Sometimes cleptocracy, occasionally kleptarchy, is a term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service....(Frank, Dodd, the Black Caucus come to mind)
Then there are the Progressives: Contemporary progressives continue to embrace concepts such as environmentalism and social justice[1]. Social progressivism, which states that governmental practices ought to be adjusted as society evolves, forms the ideological basis for many American progressives. Alonzo L. Hamby defines progressivism as the "political movement that addresses ideas, impulses, and issues stemming from modernization of American society.
With Progressives shredding the US Constitution because they "know more" and Obama Bullying his way into private lives while telling all they must sacrifice, he and Michelle live truly high on the hog here and abroad with the age old "let them eat cake" arrogance that comes with the power hungry. This Snake Oil Salesman has duped Americans while our congress and senate are too spineless to stop the Obama assault on freedom. Obama has his army in place, it is called ACORN - new name: Community Organizations International or COI. The only jobs Obama has made is to employ more in government...whose salaries and perks we pay for....our only hope is to throw out Pelosi and her congress in 2012 and don't re-elect senators who have done nothing for America, we how adept they are at procuring PORK........throw them all out regardless of party.
This is a reference to an article on Politico by Eamon Javers.
He alleges that bashing Obama is good business for conservative talk radio. He willfully ignores the fact that the very same names he cites were equally popular and successful during the Bush years.
He chooses to conceal the fact that it’s the essential message of conservativism, as well as their ability to conduct a proper talk show, rather than the target that makes the individuals successful. Want proof? Look at the great success that the so-called Air America, with its lineup of the cream of liberal thought, generated with their Bush bashing. Not.
Randi Rhodes, Al Franken, Jeanine Garofolo. All the collected time these brainless hacks logged in front of microphones before Air America should have guaranteed them a successful program and huge audience. Unfortunately, their message was horse manure, not unlike the matter in their heads, and they deservedly flopped.
