Obama's Dirty Dozen: What the President's Agenda Means for America
NewsMax ^ | 1/22/09 | David A. Patten

Posted on 01/22/2009 8:03:24 PM PST by Sammy67

Talk radio’s Rush Limbaugh and Democratic firebrand Rahm Emanuel agree on one thing: Barack Obama’s presidency could alter America for decades.

Emanuel, the new White House chief of staff, recently told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that the financial meltdown provides an opportunity “to do things that Americans have pushed off for years.”

Limbaugh offered the contrary view, with this warning: “We're about to see an encroachment by the left that will take a generation to roll back.”

Here are a “dirty dozen” changes Team Obama is most likely to enact.

Ratings

Key [1 to 10 scale]:

Probability Likelihood that the measure soon will be implemented.

U.S. Impact Potential impact on the country, once the measure is enacted

GOP Impact Future political impact on the GOP and its supporters.

GOP Misery Index An average of the three measures.

1. Allow Anyone to Vote

[Probability 5.2 / U.S. Impact 6.4 / GOP Impact 7.8 / GOP Misery Index = 6.46]

The 2008 election triggered multiple voter-fraud investigations, and Democrats apparently have decided that, if everyone is declared eligible to vote, no one can be accused of voting illegally.

Registering to vote is just a “bureaucratic obstacle” they say. So Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says she’ll introduce legislation to promote automatic, universal voter registration by the government.

Government voter registration would rely on

Unfortunately, I agree it is possible.

And Whimps don’t win them.

Limbaugh says the changes will “take a generation to roll back”....I think this is overly optimistic. With unchecked third world immigration and an open southern border I think these changes are only the beginning, and will never be rolled back. This has nothing to do with the newcomers’ race, but rather with voting patterns and the things being taught in the public education system. (i.e. America no longer a “melting pot” but rather a multicultural society)

More like two generations, and some of it will probably last longer than that. We still have lots of dumb stuff left over from FDR. Some of it explicit programs, like social security, but even worse have been some "principals", such as the gross misapplication of the Interstate Commerce Clause to allow the federal government powers over things never intended by the authors of the Constitution.

More like never.

The only way to "roll back" what the socialists are about to do is disenfranchise the groups that have made the socialist takeover of the United States government possible.

That won't happen until after this Republic falls.

The fall is in progress.

“America is going to get Obama’d. Right in the ass.”

I use the term “Barry’d, with a capital B” instead of Obama’d. That way I can say it in public and only those who are in the know will understand the context. I can say it in front of moonbats and they will think: “Oh, poor guy. He has too much on his plate.”

Exactly, and therein lies the death of America.
