.....The real truth, dear friends, is that a great majority of Americans want communism, even though, their wishes may border the sublime. Case it has not yet become self-evident, Americans are on the verge of electing the first communist to the Presidency of this country.

Thought it would never happen, not in the U.S. didn't you? So did I and so did many millions who never thought to live and see the day when a man like Barack Obama would run for the highest office in the world, let alone win the election. Yet, the fact remains, however, that it is happening and it is real...........

“This is a real nut-cake piece.”

I wish you were right.

Your brother is on to something. In the following sentence you expressed two thoughts:

1. "He is believing that a representative government may not be the best form of government
2. because the electorate just isn't informed enough. "

I am in total agreement with your brother in that the electorate is not well enough informed.

Re #2: The electorate's ignorance is based partially upon the fact that most young people simply do not acquire enough wisdom or experience by the age of 18 to make a decision in their own best interests, let alone one that would be beneficial to the nation. This used to be solved by restricting the right to vote to citizens who had attained the age of 21.

RE #1: Your brothers statement in the first instance, I believe solving the informed electorate problem would result in a different statement from him.

My concern is that to many will make a foolish decision which will result in a bloody conflict between those loyal to the principles of the constitution with those who seek to enslave them.

Let's deal with reality as sad as this may be. Americans know exactly who Barack Obama is and a majority of Americans want Barack Obama to be their next President. As simple as that.

I can find at least three things wrong with this passage.

From Rush Limbaugh last Thursday:

"Democracies always fail because once people learn that they can vote themselves money, then that's it." Once they figure that out, it's over. Well, here's an actual quote, and it is from a science fiction writer named Robert Heinlein, and it is from a book called, To Sail Beyond the Sunset: "The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. "A perfect democracy, a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. ... [O]nce a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so..." They'll vote themselves bread and circuses every time "until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader [such as] the barbarians enter Rome."

I'm not smoking anything, especially the cheap garbage being peddled by Obama’s pushers in the media.

"I see Barack Obama's election as the final realization of a long-planned conspiracy, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Worst yet, I cannot disenfranchise this man from the prophets and their prophecies, from Nostradamus to Mathew's biblical prediction of the end: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.""

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the third party voters, the too proud conservative and, of course, the 0bama voters and the DNC for making the above quote possible. If it comes to pass, the blood will be on your hands. You had a chance to stop it, but instead, you chose to make it happen.

Wolverines!

You were saying — “I am in total agreement with your brother in that the electorate is not well enough informed.”

And a well-informed and evil electorate is probably worse...

[Star Traveler]

sounds like “judgment time”...

Should the will of the people be supreme even following it results in the destruction of the nation?

In this case, yes.  The people richly deserve a wake up call.  Furthermore, I happen to be a partisan that believes the contract was contigent upon both party agreement.  The question to me is whether we can maintain coherence in a dissolution of the contract, or will we passively go towards rendering it meaningless.

I heard a quote today that for me completely explains the liberal-federal governmental structure:  "When you are dealing with a liar that holds the bigger gun, a written document is completely useless." He was, of course, speaking of our constitution. Fregards

Okay..., check this one out after the election and we’ll see how it “plays” then.... Should be interesting... (at least here on Free Republic)...

Just bumping up for discussion. Two years later...with a republic that is alive, awake, and in the process of correcting a horrendous mistake.
