Thankfully, the history of the U.S. is that when we make a mistake, we usually fix it pretty quickly. And I always hear, "it will be different this time." I heard Clinton would never leave office, or that he would pass last minute legislation that would give him emergency powers.
But the fact is, Clinton as DEMOCRAT was finished after Hillarycare. Clinton as "triangulator" was born, and had to toe the line pretty carefully on any permanent damage to the country.
I'm not saying an Obama presidency wouldn't be a disaster, or that he won't try to do all this and more. I'm saying people are fundamentally center-right, and as soon as they really push for this, you get "Dubai ports" kind of response.

Once the Fairness Doctrine is re-enacted, there will be no opposition media.
Once Amnesty is enacted, tens of millions of new Democrats will be voting.
Once Hate Laws are enacted, there will be no preaching from Church pulpits.

I'm saying people are fundamentally center-right, and as soon as they really push for this, you get "Dubai ports" kind of response. I wonder if it will even matter ... all they'll need to do is silence right and center-right voices, and the socialism will be shoved down our throats with nothing to stand in its way. That why the Fairness Doctrine will be one of the first things on the 'Rats' agenda.
I'm really afraid that it will take an armed insurrection to remove these bastards from power if Obama wins and the 'Rats have supermajorities in congress. In a word, we're f***ed.

Klinton wasn't able to fully pursue his dimocratic agenda, because the GOP had enough seats and some leadership to keep him in check. Now, the GOP has lacked leadership for sometime, and the number of seats will shrink to the point that even filibuster may not be an option. Add to that the fact that in the Klinton years, the dims did have a few members, notably the Blue Dogs, who put the Country first. Pelosi & Reid have effectively stamped out that group and now were left with a bunch of automatons that follow in lock step. There will be no check on what 0bama will be able to do.
