It’s Obama’s “two-year coup plan.”

How to Hugo Chavez-ize America in two years, while you hold most of the reins of power, and the MSM is stil in adulation mode.

America, robbery in progress.

It doesn’t take too long to screw up the republic. The health care thing took a year. That slowed them down. Call ‘em butter because they are on a roll now.

Finally, to complete their plan, they will be putting in place draconian regulations to bring Wall Street to its knees.

Goldman-Sachs is a co-conspirator, not a victim. Big companies embrace complex regulation because it stifles competition from smaller companies.

[GOPJ]

First, they nationalized the banks and the car companies. Second, they nationalized the entire health care industry.

Even without the rest of the stuff - these two would be bad enough...

There are two ways to conquer a nation. The first way is by the force of arms ..... war. The second way is much less bloody, simply buy off the people with money or favors and then wrap the recipients of the money and favors in chains, through the force of law.

This author neglected to mention "demoralization". Yuri Besmenov WARNED us. Besmenov told us that communists were in the process of demoralizing our nation!!! And...Now, nearly every cultural institution in the nation is thoroughly infiltrated by "progressives" ( Marxists!)

Conservatives were oblivious to the demoralization going on around them and now seem surprised that suddenly we are literally on the very edge of losing our nation. ( Is a "duh" necessary?) Conservatives have **NEVER** come up with a rational plan to RE-MORALIZE the nation.

So don’t just sit there in a cesspool of anger and frustration. Get off the damn couch! Join a freedom group! Join a tea party! Get involved in local politics! Help a conservative politician get elected and hold that politician’s feet to the fire of conservative principles.

Ok...So now it's an emergency. Yeah! I absolutely urge conservatives to help with this effort. But...If conservatives do win this latest legislative emergency, WHAT IS THE LONG RANGE PLANE TO **RE-MORALIZE THE NATION!!!! ( And..That plan better include shutting down all of our socialist-funded, single payer, government K-12 schools and setting up private CONSERVATIVE alternatives for our nation's children.)

Join with millions of Americans in the 9-12 March on Washington on the 9th through the 12th of September, 2010.

Yeah! I support this too. BUT..BUT..BUT...I predict it will be ignored by the MMM ( Marxist mainstream media).

The **first** sites secured when the Iron Curtain fell were the TV and Radio stations. Hm?... Do you think there might be a lesson for conservatives to learn in this? May I suggest that ONE MILLION conservatives peacefully show up in NEW YORK and stand in the doorways and driveways of the MMM ( Marxist mainstream media)?.

And....Yes! I am shouting. I am exasperated with conservatives.

Bloodless? It just hasn't come to that point, yet.

Not all of us live in big cities and fail to provide our families with the means of self defense.

Some of us still raise our kids with the knowledge and skills needed by warriors.

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once".

The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud (Cap-And-Trade and CCX)
Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a
climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would
make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.”

“Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select
individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 --
the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.,
criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."

"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."

“Here comes the next bubble -- carbon trading
Forget CDOs and other inventions of the great credit bubble. That’s all old hat.
Investment bankers are moving on to an area of securities trading that is potentially even
more lucrative, and what’s more, even has a social value – saving the planet.
….According to Mr Schapiro, carbon trading is now the fastest growing commodities
market on earth. Since Kyoto signatories bought in to the cap and trade concept in 2005,
there have been more than $300bn carbon transactions, prompting several investment
banks, including Goldman Sachs and Barclays, to set up their own carbon trading desks.
But that’s just the start. If President Obama and his supporters can institute a cap-and-
trade system in the United States – and that’s a big if for this increasingly marooned
presidency – demand could explode into a $2 to $3 trillion market.

And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will
eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon market is based on
lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around
creating carbon credits, or finding carbon reduction projects whose benefits can then be
sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible.

“Carbon developers”, many of them employed by large multinationals, travel the world
in search of carbon reduction projects to sell, while firms of carbon accountants have been
established to verify on the United Nations’ behalf that those reductions are real.
The whole thing, though well intentioned, looks wide open to abuse and scams. “

A constitutional convention is the appropriate way to solve the vast majority of the excess federal government, and restore it to a working framework.

If the first thought about a constitutional convention is that it is “unthinkable, it would be controlled by radicals”, you are a victim of a propaganda effort that has been used in America’s public schools for about a century.

This propaganda was inserted by old-school “progressives” who are responsible for the out of control course that America finds itself in today, and has been taught in public schools since the 1920s.

The truth of the matter is that a constitutional convention will be a very conservative affair, its sole concern to reduce federal power and increase the power of the individual States. This is because it will require the agreement of 38 States to make *any* changes.

Right now, the States are moving in the direction of a constitutional convention, by forming blocs supporting issues where the federal government has far overreached. Eventually they will realize that ALL of their issues boil down to just one thing.

The federal government is out of control, grossly overextended, and must be constrained.

And ordinary elections cannot correct these problems. The only outside force, strong enough and motivated enough to return the federal government to order is a constitutional convention.

If the States refuse to act, things are going to become much, much worse. Any semblance of the democratic process or republicanism will be lost. The congress and Supreme Court will become superfluous, and the president will entirely rule by dictatorship. He will not serve the people, but an incompetent corporatocracy.

I have no doubt that the United States will have to be pushed to the very brink before the States will act. We can but hope that when push comes to shove, the States will do their constitutional duty.

I am beginning to wonder if Obama will be voted out of office in 2012 or be deposed in a popular uprising long before.
