I rarely hope my analysis is way off the mark, but this is one time where I honestly hope and pray that what I am seeing from the electorate is genuine outrage that will be manifest in November.

Don’t forget the advice Obama gave to his relative in Kenya, Raila Odinga, over the phone when Odinga thought he might lose his electoral race for president back on 27 December 2007 - riot. I wouldn’t put it past him to try this here.

I am saving this. You need to get this to Rush and spread it around more. I think it could use a bit of tightening in places, but you are definitely hitting all of the major points.

Bravo. That's a very well done analysis of a question that's been haunting quite a few of us.

One of my pet theories can be boiled down to the phrase, "the glee of insanity". It's occurred to me over and over again that one of the reasons the Dems are mashing the accelerator as they rush toward the cliff, is that they're in an altered state of mind.

I've actually seen this in their body language and facial expressions - not to mention their words and deeds. They just seem so drunk with power, that they believe themselves to be invincible and immortal.

If they do any analyzing at all, I'm sure that the points you listed above figure large in that thinking, and do a lot to bolster their bizarre comfort level.

Good job on that piece. Hope you publish it somewhere besides FR.

Yeah, looseness is definitely a problem with stream of consciousness musings, no matter how long the streaming is massaged...

Brilliance mixed with lucid irony ... very well written.

I wish I could think this was just crazy talk, but somehow I cannot dismiss it. To think that this cabal was ruthless enough to kick the cap out of the Xlintoons, who were little more than mafiosi IMHO.

Good article. I’m starting to get a little concerned. I’ve seen a lot of articles like this, but no one has made an analysis that really makes total sense.

Do the DEMS know something we don’t know? If so, how are they able to keep it secret?

Will Obama declare martial law? Not very likely.

Are the DEMS in denial? Hard to believe.

Are they so idealistic they will sacrifice themselves for the cause? I don’t think so.

Their behavior doesn’t make rational sense. What’s going on?

they are well-financed for future elections. And conservatives are going broke.

“Are the DEMS in denial? Hard to believe.”

Denial is always hard to believe, for those who are not the afflicted.

Look at ordinary people with severe problems, drunks, drug addicts, people in abusive relationships. Think of how deep and thick and impenetrable their denial is. They either don’t think they have a problem at all, or they think their problem is something completely different from their real, actual problem.

This is where the dims are right now. They are deep, deep in denial and their co-dependent enablers in the media are right in there with them.

Good, stay put until Nov 3rd you nincompoops!

Excellent post! I may have to ask permission to repost this on my Facebook page! Very thorough and ALL points I have considered myself when looking at why the Progressives don’t seem worried in the slightest about this November. And frankly, I don’t think they are either.

Recently, I’ve even posted that I believed the Republicans would gain only 30-40 seats in the House (they need 39 to retake the House) and only 6-7 Senate seats (they need 10 Senate seats). I think they’ll miss both by a few seats. I think that’s the case for all the reasons you list above.

I’ll forgive your slightly harsh observation of Sarah at this point — who knows, it may turn out to be accurate. God knows we can only hope the “Republican” brand is subsumed into some new, real and useful Conservative entity that returns to a true Constitutional vision for our nation that our Founders would have recognized and related to.

Thanks for your post!

I might add one other observation — they could very easily be hoping for — or perhaps planning — an international incident of some sort. We have several “hotspots” that could go up at any moment, and we could get drawn in easily. The most obvious is the Israel/Iran situation. Iran cannot get nukes — and if they get or already have nukes, you can bet they will become aggressive — and we will be among their first two or three targets. There is also North Korea to consider — a Communist regime in their potential death throes that would love to take a bote out of the US (and China in their heart of hearts wouldn’t mind that either — while claiming they had NOTHING to do with it).... If the Progressives and particularly the Obamunist Regime know its coming or are planning it, that’s a huge “ace in the hole.”

I like the part about Romans 13. The government is not civil. It is acting illegitimately, outside of constitutional bounds.
