Unfortunately, we've not paid sufficient attention to what they did after elected.
Now we have an education industry that focuses on leftist propaganda, the majority of the news industry, ditto and of course, the progressives/liberals/leftists/socialists/statists/marxists/fascists have completely co-opted one of the political parties and the other is too focused on perqs and re-election to be responsible. The normal, hard working, US Citizen needs to realize the left owns entire industries that are dedicated to the destruction of our country by whatever means available. Responsible US Citizens need to dedicate the time necessary to counter the leftists if we don't want to find ourselves being another banana republic, or worse: another point in the line that includes Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, ...
BUMP!
Here’s an old thread, with an even older (1938) conservative booklet called “The Revolution Was”, written about FDR and the New Deal. Similar points, and almost EXACTLY what we see happening 70 years later.

THE REVOLUTION WAS, By Garet Garrett (written in 1938)
Excerpt:
There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.
There are those who have never ceased to say very earnestly, “Something is going to happen to the American form of government if we don’t watch out.” These were the innocent disarmers. Their trust was in words.....
Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern.
But it could not be so embarrassed and all that line was wasted, because, in the first place, it never intended to make that kind of sense, and secondly, it took off from nothing that was implicit in the American scheme. It took off from a revolutionary base......
....Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic.....The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.....

I'm getting so weary of metaphors. Let's be blunt, our "operating system" is a societal contract called the Constitution of the United States of America. This is not an "operating system", it is a written contract and has been abused and ignored that it is no longer recognizable. Okay, so I'm splitting hairs.
So what? What are you going to do about it? Nothing, most likely. You're going to talk and talk about it all; give it new names; and do nothing while our contract is ripped to shreds.
You will write your representatives; join your demonstrations (as I used to do); bitch on the Web; occasionally talk with relatives and friends; and then watch your "op system" go to hell.
I don't mean you, personally. I mean the American populace in general. There are movements growing for States' rights. There are movements growing otherwise - take that as you will.
Just stop giving metaphors for the Constitution of the United States of America. You and everyone else should use the word, CONSTITUTION, every time you speak of the abuses of the Fedgov. End rant.
much of our problem today is that we have discovered we can vote our/friends from the public trough, and we do in large amounts.
I think you make a good point. I keep thinking that what zero and the left are really trying to do is pick a fight that will spark a fire that will spread, and this will give him the excuse to send in the acorn brownshirts.
But, This isn’t Germany or Russia decades ago. Americans, if pushed far enough, will fight back and the last thing you want after you is a pissed off yanqui.

Click through and read the whole article, this guy gets it.
Great article until I came to this line. Wow! This author just doesn't "get it".
The school board is the very first step in my state in working your way into the political pipeline. So?...Who controls who get elected to the school board? Answer: Our corrupt Marxist dominated teachers union. Without their support it is impossible to get elected.
What's needed here is a complete dismantling of government education.
Marxism is our nation's **most** serious threat. SCHOOLS are the Marxist's most powerful weapon. The government schools must be shut down and conservatives must set up private alternatives.

Likewise, we've been demoralized ourselves, with successes in forcing Socialism and Gay Marriage on us, the end could be in sight.
Short term, we need a "Star" as a candidate, and a change of party name.
With this line, the author puts himself into the league of Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter.

Now...
What are we going to do about it?
True. People are often confused as to who is on what side.
WE are the ones trying to preserve our government as established by our Constitution. We are not revolutionaries.
BS.....to stop the coup there must be people and probably blood in the streets. There can be no peaceful solution in America just as in Israel. It is now all or nothing
Also we should overload this into the emails of our favorite patriot talkers: Rush Beck Levin Ingraham Hannity et al.
