Sorry, you’re wrong, he will require that we sacrifice ...not ask.
He has already said that the eintitlements must be funded and has not intention of letting any of it go.
Congresscreeps and spinators will line up and give him what he wants and there is NOTHING we can do short of Revolution to stop them.
We are experiencign government of the government for the government and by the government for the benefit of politicians who are promising our money to be reelected.
Perfect! It would be funny to overdub that scene with Obama talking about fiscal restraint.
This event has only added to my sleepless nights ...this is the pronouncement to increase taxes massively. He also proclaimed loudly that he has no intention of cutting any entitlements. There was also a telegraphed message that he intends to increase FICA to extend to all income, all income.
The insanity of creating a problem to demand a solution goes beyond any understanding or ability I have to deal with it. The absurdity of it all is something I that just makes smoke come out of my ears and blood run from my eyes.
The reference to the “Blazing Saddles” scene where Bart takes himself hostage and wonders how stupid the sheeple are is almost perfect. The media falls right in line.
We are doomed if we simply sit here and take this. Will the first shot be fired at Concord, NH or Concordia, Kansas?
Oh no. He will ask. He will ask in the way that a cop “asks” you to step out of the car. Refuse to comply, or even comply too slow, and you get to meet Mr Glock.
The era of the jack-booted thugs and government-sponsored murders and church burnings is back. Only this time, the socialist-in-chief won’t be distracted by handjobs from chubby interns!
I cringe to declare that I think you are more right than wrong.
Intimidation will be the means, economic and legal intimidation of one person at a time. He can’t deal with masses I don’t think because there are not enough enforcers, maybe?
He’ll use the old Nazi program: single out one group at a time and steal their possessions, restrict their freedom, isolate them (probably not physically isolate them as the German nazis did, but more likely socially isolate them). When one group is done, declare another group to to be “politically unreliable”, “counter-revolutionary”, or some new term that means “disagrees with the Party”.
Everyone will cheer as he atttacks the “Others”, and then wonder why one is coming to their assistance and they become the “Others” and the persecution suddenly becomes “unfair”.
This is why the left has gone to so much trouble to portray everything as Nazi or “Just like Hitler” for the past few years. It has immunized everyone to recongnizing any connection with the practices of the German Nazis so that American Fascism can thrive without anyone noticing. After all, the left can’t be fascist because they’re the ones that call everyone else a nazi, right?
