I posted this article on FaceBook last night, in a matter of minutes I was severely attacked! I couldn’t believe the liberal response...it was name calling and mean spirited, no debate, just angry retorts. Typical libs.

So I guess right abut now he’s starting to figure out that the whole “I won you lost” style of negotiation to deal with the GOP might not have been such a great thing after all?

Now that the tables of position power have turned and his Party is now faced with the prospect of no longer having the Win - Lose advantage he can expect ZERO concern or cooperation with his opponents.

And he should get NONE.

For being the so-called “genius” he looks like he hasn’t even had a remedial class in negotiations. He’s a VERY ignorant person.

Now lets all hope and pray that he goes over the edge with that enormous ego and displays a temper tantrum over this WI matter, that would be THE icing o this little cake.

I heard the criminal psychopath Trumka on the radio today addressing the mob, telling them "You're more powerful than the governor." So much for democracy in America if these a-holes are not defeated decisively.

I always find it amusing when people defend or fight for “democracy” and thus could be called democrats, but what America REALY is is that its a REPUBLIC.

Must be one of those clip/magazine mixups.

The first obvious battle was launched against Arizona.

Just another battle in Obama’s declared war on America, the American people, the Constitution, American culture and traditions, and the ‘rule of law’.

Well, well. The Won considers us as flyover country, brat-eating, beer-drinking farmers. Yah hey. One note for you lefties.
Don’t mess with our freedom. You betcha.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those FB attacks came from the white house.

The dimrat party’s only loyalty is to their party. NOT to this country. The unions are the muscle behind the dim party.
They are just showing us who they are.

And that should scare the hell out of every real patriot. These are elected officials, chosen by the people, in open elections.

If they are talking about being more powerful than those elected to represent the state...then they are talking about overthrow into a dictatorship.

I think that Obozo is pushing for a real fight in the streets, similar to what is happening overseas. The secular progressives has made great in roads into this nation accelerating the our rapid fall from grace which will usher in a new and dangerous era.

Of course he is pushing this. Many people predicted all of this, Egypt, Union violence, the day he was elected.

Obama wants internal and global chaos and even war. Anything that will give him an excuse to declare martial law and cancel elections. That was his/Soros plan from years ago before he was elected.

Internal strife will get worse and worse approaching the elections, food shortages, fuel shortages, race riots, dollar collapse, etc., and there will be a large scale war in M.E. It is going to happen. It is in the playbook. It is the point of everything he has done in office.

Obama has done everything to possible to lay a foundation for America to collapse and for him to assume ‘dear leader’ status. That is his goal.

There is no way the Muslims are going to miss an opportunity to attack while they still have a meek sympathizer in the W.H. and they will do what they must to keep him there.

The upcoming Presidential elections are going to be one of the most tumultuous times in American history and intentionally so. It will be the time in which the Left, led by Soros will attempt their long planned coup. The Left will attempt to fully usurp and dominate America at any costs.

Worst case scenario; this country appears to be ripe for civilian strife and it is being encouraged mostly by the liberal democrat’s demand for social justice (communism). Clearly these demonstrations are designed to divide and denigrate anyone who does not agree with the “spread the wealth” mantra spewing from this current administration. Will martial law be the Obozo’s next move?

“Will martial law be the Obazo’s next move?”

Wouldn’t put it past him.
But given the situation, who would follow the order?
Or would it be a show?
Hard to predict.
He already ignores the Constitution and has no emotional connection with the American people.

I had a conversation about this stuff last night. My liberal democrat friend started going off about all this possibly overgrown union power being the eventual fault of greedy corporations.

I asked him if democrats or liberals had anything to do with busting the economy and he was adamant that they did not. He asserted that only corporations and executives can be greedy because that is where the money ends up.

It occurred to me that there can also be a problematic effect cause by what I called "Social greed". UH-OH... I stumbled onto one there. He had no answer for the unions, the teachers and the government workers workers wanting more, more more and always for free, or at the expense of someone else.

He said he pays 50% of his health care insurance premium cost and his employer pays 50%.

When we got to the fact that Minnesota teachers making $80K are balking at being asked to contribute 12% to their benefits, we started to change his tune.

But given the situation, who would follow the order?

that will be the biggest challenge; will the military and law enforcement personnel realize that they are citizens first and will they defend our country and its' constitution? Or will they blindly follow if orders are given to shoot American citizens? During Bill Clinton's presidency there was a questionnaire given to military recruits asking if they would shoot Americans if they were ordered to confiscate personal weapons from the common people and encountered resistance. Sadly, many said they would if ordered to do so. I think Bill Clinton was a test case president in what power out side of the constitution a sitting president can abuse before the people say enough. Slick got away with a lot and unfortunately he is still a free man.
