Well written, it spells out in one article a large chunk of what is wrong with our government today.
The only nit I have to pick is that it doesn't really put forth a suggestion for changing this.
Voting? Informed juries? Lawsuits? Armed restoration of our Republic?
Some combination of all of the above?
Everyone seems to have their own ideas of what it will take, and almost no one is out DOING any of it. The current "race" for the "moderate" GOP nod is a farce. As is Issa's lame attempt at the F&F investigation. Good theater, short on results. Heck, I even tried to get involved at a local level with my Precinct Caucuses and the PBOU. What a mess... The inertia against any kind of change was thick as amber. Even the new Party chair was long on cheerleading and short on actual policy points we could take away from the event.
It all kinda makes you think about what Wiemar Germany must have been like.
I frankly don’t believe there is a clean or easy way out or way back. If Obama wins another term, he will go the full Hugo Chavez route, putting all of his extra-constitutional steps to this time seem like baby steps. His goal is to do to the USA what Chavez did in Venezuela. But we are not Venezuela, so I think we could trip over into CW2.
The enemies of freedom mistakenly think they will be able to use the chaos to install full police state powers. I hope they are wrong. But I sincerely believe that Obama intends to follow the Hugo Chavez playbook from 2013 onward.
Collapse the economy, direct the mobs, create the “revolutionary conditions.” Or, “the worse, the better,” in Lenin’s words.
That is the Obama/Holder game plan. Will it work? Perhaps not.
So no, my books don’t offer a solution, except for perhaps, “Don’t be in a high-rise in Sarajevo when the CW breaks out.”
” As is Issa’s lame attempt at the F&F investigation.”
I read here yesterday, that Boner is trying to silence Issa.
I also noticed that nobody in the House has voiced their solidarity with him.I despise Boner, so this I can believe.
