What is a Newt?
It could be Go - or it could be Go Fish. Given the random nature of his acts, I sometimes incline towards the latter opinion.
I don’t know about ‘GO’
More like ‘Mother May I?’
I think Obama likes Go since it pits black against white.
That was my first thought, too. I don’t think he’s smart enough to play Go.
These are all small, seemingly non-connected struggles. But put together, they end up in a sudden domination of the playing field. We should all re-read the famous Communist Goals entered into the Congressional Record back in 1963.
All the traps were set over the past decades. Obama is just putting down the final stones and claiming the territory that we surrendered years ago.
Finally an intelligent reply.

“With Obama, it is probably best to assume that nothing is accidental. A few minutes ago he presided at the swearing in of the new Attorney General. After a ringing endorsement of our great Constitution he dropped a few artful words. Unless I misheard, they subordinated that Constitution to the practical effects of laws and the implementation of those laws on the workers. That sacred Constitution is now locked safely up on display. We are now actually governed by Obama’s good intentions. And may God have mercy on our souls!
By the time the pendulum swings back towards sanity, which has already started, it will simply be too late. We do not have the cadres to compete at Go. Even if we did, our goals do not lend themselves to “direct democracy”, except as our founding fathers understood it: armed rebellion. The Central Government's club will always trump that. As a judge (I think it was Robert Bork) once observed, the second amendment was about restraining the power of the central government, but you cannot very well keep a stealth fighter in your garage.”

While we murmur and watch.
Is that all we know to do?
Even the Mexicans here in America, took to the streets in protest a few years ago.
We deserve what we get. A ‘take over’ “ coup” without incident.
Amazing! Who would have thought it possible?
Where have all the strong hearted gone?
Gramsci?
Years ago I lived in Hyde Park - Obama's Chicago neighborhood - and it's the only place I ever played "go". I know your example is metaphorical - just thought I would share...
I see what you see too. I told my Dad who lives in Australia, just this week; that if thing continue as they are headed. America will not be worth living in, or there will be blodd on the streets.
I'm beginning to wonder if this wouldn't be a good solution, as it is very final. As in, "let's get it over with, already, and see who holds the field when we are done".
“Where have all the strong hearted gone?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The strong hearted are the strong minded, as contained in the line attributed to Davey Crockett, “First be sure you are right, then go ahead.” We have millions now who are never sure what is right and what is wrong and the ones who ARE certain are mostly the ones who have it ass-backwards! I have seen this coming for forty five years or more but nobody wanted to talk about it until it was too late. There is no solution left to be obtained by working within “the system”.
Pickrell, I think you'll enjoy this.

Thanks - very good analysis and it made me think. Yes indeed, I have been thinking more in Chess mode, and can see we have lost too much ground.
A lot of people talk about going to Galt's Gulch. I think Atlas Shrugged does a good job of describing the problem that we face, but I don't see how her solution is any sort of workable solution.
I think people are mentally going to Galt's Gulch by psychologically preparing themselves for a fundamentally new world. At some point there will be a spark, and then a lot of people will feel that they have no choice but to try to make that new world a reality. 'Cause this ol' world is busted.
We need the young, strong, able ones among us to be of the same mind.
Honestly they have lived during a time when there was ‘sunshine’ all the time ... the good life.
No serious obstacles to overcome.
Those that have been to war, know the pain and suffering involved. Otherwise most of the younger are too addicted to their gadgets ... Ipods/Iphones etc., to take any time outside of them to look around; and see what is happening.
We contributed to the now situation.
It has come back to bite us.
Chess is a local battle, Go is a world war.
