Is America sliding toward autocratic rule? This is the essential question of Barack Obama's presidency. Mr. Obama vowed to "fundamentally transform" the United States. Despite his incompetence and economic failure, the president is making good on his central promise: the destruction of our constitutional republic. He is trying - piece by painful piece - to reverse the legacy of the Founding Fathers. Conservatives have underestimated him at their peril. For Mr. Obama is not simply an inept, liberal president in the mold of Jimmy Carter. He is an ideological revolutionary who seeks to sweep away traditional America.

It really has nothing to do with racism, I think. I fear that 50% of this country truly want the government to give them everything. They don’t want to work for or towards any goals. They want to sleep late, drink on the taxpayer’s dime, eat on the taxpayer’s dime, be sheltered by the taxpayer’s dime, transit on the taxpayer’s dime, communicate on the taxpayer’s dime, get “educated” on the taxpayer’s dime, and generally live on the taxpayer’s dime.
The more the taxpayers sit back and allow it to happen, the most it will continue.
I think we should bring back voting laws requiring that one owns property or has a non-government job in order to vote. Anyone who rents or leases their living quarters or works on the taxpayer’s dime should be excluded from voting. Call it slavery, Jim Crow, whatever, but it would drastically reform who sits in the leather chairs in DC.
“The tea party sweep of 2010 was just a warm-up call for the tea party landslide coming up in November!!...I can see November from my house!!”
With increasing regularity , I see a continual movement by the States towards ‘ELECTRONIC VOTING’ machines , which are repaired by union workers. Supposedly , they leave no direct paper trail, only cumulative numbers. These machines have not yet proven that they cannot be ‘electronicly tinkered with’, or re-programmed .
We have already seen the current batch of Congress (both parties and both Houses ) bend over for the current administration. The most current laugh is the proposed administration’s budget, including the $800 million for “Arab Spring” . This administration is acting as though there is no current fiscal budget issue . We need to send pom-poms (cajonies) to Boehner, and others in Congress.
Since there is no paper trail , there can be no verification of the actual vote . Since the electronic ballot box contains ‘proprietary software’ ,there can be no verification as to its veracity.
I fear for the theft of the 2012 National Election by the imposter, assisted by union maintenance.
Remember, it wasn’t until after the election that we learned about Zero , his associates , his minister, his dogma , his ideology, his voting record (”Present”), his ‘birth certificate’, etc., etc... And soon after the election, all the background information on the messiah was ‘locked down’. Admit it , as a Country , we got bamboozeled !!
I too look forward to the next election , but with a lot more skepticism than you.
The GOP isn’t going to life a finger unless they are scared of us.
Some years ago George Soros told the world he’d bought the democrat party, how do members of the msm vote? democrat!
But we need to look at our “conservative” electeds. Many of those who sit on the “conservative” side of the house were democrats at one time. When the Republicans gained a majority in either house or senate, a “conservative” democrat changed parties. That democrat didn’t want to lose the power/prestige/money of his/her seat so changed to the party “now” in power. Hence we have a Republican party full of RINOS. These RINOS are able to change the minds of weaker republicans, so the democrats get most of their wishes most of the time. Look what Boehner said to the incoming freshman Republicans when they gathered for their first official meeting.
I’ve got your back on that one. Plus he running a dirty campaign against fellow Republicans.
Well, here is hoping (for the primary) then: ANYBODY but Romney.
I agree. Just look at the last two years of the Bush administration. Bush signed most of what hit his desk, giving Democrats most of what they wanted, in effect making the last two years of a Republican administration a Democratic administration. A fact that Liberals love to whitewash when blaming Bush for all our nations ills. Once again however, we wouldn't have this problem if the Media was doing its job and tell the American people the truth about the candidates they were voting for. That's WHY the framers gave the Media constitutional powers, to ensure the American people were well informed about what was going on. If only the scumbags in the Media would do thier job!
I agree. I travel a lot and I have not met anyone that likes ZERO.
I am old enough to remember the second worst president ever. He was number one until ZERO came aboard.
The election in November will be worse than KARTAHS defeat.
It will be a shellacking like no other ever.
The media of today is an arm of the democrat party, so will not tell the public what is really going on in the government.
What about Romneycare? What about the 2nd amendment? He want’s Romney care for ALL Americans, even though he says each state will or will not have to accept it. He also wants an amendment to the 2nd amendment. He also tells fibs.
No, conservatives haven't underestimated BO, we knew exactly what he was all about. It is moderates in the GOP that refused (and refuse) to believe that he is an extreme Leftist, the Neville Chamberlains of the party.
You’ve read Prof Williams’ of Geo. Mason U article about the free loaders and ‘corporate hand outers” relecting this grifter.
I think when it comes down to it, were going to have to play the odds.
Romney claims to have had an epiphany concerning his liberal ideals and is now more conservative.
So, with Romney we at least have a chance things will improve. Sure, he could be full of it, but we know Obama won’t turn away from Marxism.
With Obama there is no hope, no chance things will improve and I’ll gamble on a long shot versus no shot at all any day of the week.
We cannot send cajones to those who have none. We need to remove them and let them live on a pension we have and will pay for, until their spouse joins them in paradise.
YEP!
Nope. I came up with that on my own based on the news. Got a link?
“What about Romneycare? “
Just take a deep breath and think about this for a moment.
Romney’s goal, his end game is to BE president. Romney has no vision, no agenda, he just wants to be the guy. Romney isn’t good, there’s no way he’ll repeal Obamacare. But, Romney will govern by responding to what he thinks most Americans want. That’s not leadership, but at least there’s a possibility to influence Romney.
Obama is a Marxist ideologue who hates the current configuration of America. Obama has already shown contempt for middle America, and the constitution. Obama has an agenda, and it’s well laid out. And there is no chance, none, nada, zip, zero chance that we can influence Obama or change his agenda.
We are at a fork in the road. Do you want to take the bumpy uphill road, (Romney), or just be done with it and drive off a cliff, (Obama)?
I hope you are right.
I bet you only talk to people who work for a living, not the moochers, grifters, basement dwellers, Union members, etc., or the very rich.
Don’t underestimate the voting power of the “entitled” classes. Especially since the vote fraudsters will make sure they vote whether or not they show up at the polls.
I think I read it here on FR yesterday or the day before.
