I've been laying out the same basic scenario since Nov 5th.

Communists need to have a visible enemy to focus the rage of the Sheeple.

That is why it is so important that we protect the Second Amendment at all costs.

That's right. But they don't have to follow through and I'd bet my house they won't. It's all propaganda and it's even better for them if the corrupt dems play it out as long as possible, keeping the threat alive and in the news rags and stirring up the sheeple. Demonize, demonize, demonize.

Straight out of the marxist playbook.

If the statements from the left in this article come to pass, we will have become the next banana Republic (minus the bananas). When that happens, it will be time for the citizenry to restore truth in government, at all costs.

If anyone doubts this will happen, look how quickly Obami dumped the Hopey Changey stuff in place of the FEAR! stuff, the talk of bipartisanship with “I won,” and the “changing the tone” thing with the jabs at Republicans.

This is very true. They are taking a page from the Latin American leftist playbook (notice the reference to Pinochet).

There’s a show trial of the former president of Bolivia going on in Bolivia right now, although fortunately the man had the common sense to flee and they can’t get him at the moment. But the political pressure on the part of the radical leftist government of Evo Morales actually has gotten so extreme that even some of the judges have resigned. Infighting has broken out.

Like Morales, I think Obama may overplay his hand here; but then, that’s usually what brings down a dictator.

However, it’s going to get really ugly for awhile.

Surprised about Turley being such a tool. I knew he leaned left, but he always appeared to at least make an appearance of being rational.

“It’s all propaganda and it’s even better for them if the corrupt dems play it out as long as possible, keeping the threat alive and in the news rags and stirring up the sheeple. Demonize, demonize, demonize.”

Just like the “farmer derangement syndrome” in Animal Farm. When the pigs felt their support slipping they whipped the crowd into a frenzy by bringing up the farmer’s name.
Even something as simple as reading a book might help people to be clued in to what’s going on.

Do conservatives have enough motivation to get out and get the word out to fellow voters?

we cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department, go unreviewed.

The fact that Obama is following Bush's policies in terms of bailouts, Iraq, etc. shows that while Bush did things I disagree with, he was acting in good faith, and Obama has little choice but to behave as Bush did.

So he will have to draw the line between himself and Bush.

Much of what Obama has done since the inauguration shows that liberals are hypocrites for giving Obama a pass on things Bush did. They, too, want to label Bush forever, so even if historians ultimately are kind to him, they will still be forced to label him a criminal, ala Nixon. (Libs would have little choice but to praise Nixon for China, his environmental policies, his social policies--Nixon being no conservative--were it not for Watergate.)

I don't even think this is up for debate: Obama will prosecute Bush, and be shaking his head and regretting the horror of it all while he pushes his DOJ to do it.

And don't forget his intense interest in showing the rest of the world he's their president, too. I wouldn't be surprised if indeed he did put Bush on trial at the Hague.

“Holder will prosecute President Bush and other officials for condoning it.”

Nope. I don’t believe this. The radical ignoramuses of the Democrat party would like to do this, but I very much doubt it will happen.

Won’t do any good. They won’t listen. I told dozens of people who were going to vote for obama before the election about him and his political philosphy. Not one listened. The comments they made ws, “He can’t be any worse than we already have” and “Things can’t get worse than they already are”.

Soon enough they will see that things are going to get much worse than they were then. But they will refuse to recognize it. They will continue to believe the main stream media instead of what their lying eyes show them.

No. Conservatives as a group will not act. The rely on a few motivated individuals to carry their water. The average run of the mill conservative will do nothing

Keep thinking that way. For what it is worth to you you won't be the first.

In Germany during the 1930’s and early 1940’s many a Jew on their way to the camps also thought the same thing. To wit: “They will never do this”, “This can't be happening”.

They can and will do that. When It will occur and how it will occur I cannot say. It will happen in one of two ways" 1. They will trump up charges and bring him before a kangeroo court in the U.S. 2. They will turn him over to the wcc to be tried for "crimes against humanity" No Democrat will be tried because the losers do not get to try the winners.

Trust me...I have taught history in the past. I honestly DOUBT that this will happen, though some want it to.

I am FAR more concerned about inept government control of the economy and the money being funneled into ACORN and another activist group (which endangers free and honest elections....among other things).

I hope that you are correct. But the only thing I doubt obama and his henchmen doing is something that is good and decent.

The inmates are now running the asylum.

And like two skunks engaging in a pissing contest or two elephants engaging in a shitting contest, no good will become of it.
