I am sorry to disagree with you.

The insider GOP establishment aren't going to do anything to slow down and reverse Obama’s power grab for one simple reason: they want the same powers once they reclaim the White House.

That is one of the many root causes of the Republic's problems when we became a nation of men instead of a nation of laws.

Until we get a President that actively rolls back illegal power grabs the Republic is doomed. Note that i said actively rolls back not promises to roll back.

You aren't disagreeing with me. The point I was trying to make, and obviously failing at, was that the insiders lack the courage to do what it would take to stop a dictator or emperor. This is why republics die.

In the French Revolution Maximilien Robespierre established himself as a dictator in much the same way as Obama is doing it today. He simply grabbing a little more power every day. Those who sang the songs of liberty and democracy failed to stop him at every turn. None of the "democrats" would stick their necks out (since Robespierre was so fond of removing heads from said necks). Napoleon Bonaparte finally put an end to Robespierre's insanity and reign of terror, but he was no fan of freedom or democracy.

Men like George Washington are quite rare. Tyrants like Robespierre, Bonaparte and Obama are unfortunately quite common. I fear that unless the insiders like Obama and Romney are turned out we will face a revolution. And in such a case the best we can hope for is a Cesar Americanas at worst a Stalinist dictatorship.
