Many posts and replies indicate that there is a real fear that Obama , who has arrogant despot tendancies , will set himself up as a dictator. As he continues to slip in polling toward Bush and Carter numbers and as his agenda fails to pass this summer many watch nervously to see how he will act out. Keep in mind rule number 1 in setting yourself up as a dictator. It requires the full support of the military. No dictatorship has ever survived or succeeded without the military. The military is usually the source of a coup. Our soldiers are patriots and an overwhelming number of them hate the pretender in chief. The odds of coup against Obama are more realistic than a dictatorship set up by the empty suit. When we look back at this after the 2012 election , after our long national nightmare is over and the pretender in chief is voted out , it will be clear that he was nothing more than an empty suit affirmative action created President that got in way over his head. The democrats will be banished for a generation as we witness the communist pigs they really are.
Geez, some of those soldiers look like they are ready to get up and strangle him.
Our primary system is fine and our candidate was a good one.
When the economy goes in the tank and the housing and stock markets go in the tank, the party in power is going to get hammered.
Seriously, who besides McCain would have been better ? I say not Rudy, not Mitt, not huckabee, not fred, not duncan, not tancredo.
You mean it's not here yet???
Crap.
I hope you watched the movie "mars attacks". There was a great caricature of Powell as exactly that. Pretty funny caricature of Schwartzkoff too as a "nuke the aliens now" guy.
But, does the Kenyan have the GUTS to do what it takes to become a Dictator?
Not really. It was MCCain's wins in Florida and South Carolina that won the nomination for him. Oh, may I call you a "knee jerk contard" while I'm at it.
You have not a clue.
With the "right-wing terrorists" smack that Obozo's bozos have been talking around, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a 'false-flag' operation for which some Christian Identity or Constitutionalist bunch would be accused -- followed instantly by an ATF/RenoJustice crackdown on "right-wing malcontents", i.e. Republican voters who own guns or who home-school or belong to a short list of "evil, racist" churches.
And you know what I mean by "Reno Justice" -- Slick and Beast salted the Civil Service for years with political operatives that President Bush, in his political languor, never got around to smoking out and de-lousing (look what it cost him in PR alone, with left-behind Clinton assets rising up to backbite him at strategic opportunities again and again).
There are a ton of termites in the Civil Service, enough to run it, by now, even after an Obozo coup that ran off all the honest government employees and filled their places, Venezuela-style, with ACORN-recruited or -recommended political hacks.
Political hacks with guns run Venezuela now -- and yet the country used to be full of patriots and successful people who were impervious to their dictator's charms and inveiglements.
Yeah, you can tell by the outcome!
You can call me a "retarded conservative" until the cows come home, and I will wear your putrid little liberal insults like a victory garland.
Like the Ikemeister said...
... the GOP’s inability to come up with a decent Presidential candidate
There simply was no good candidate to be had on the GOP side in 2008. If Mitt, Rudy, Huck, Fred et al couldn't defeat the weakest candidate fielded by the GOP since Thomas Dewey, I think we almost have to conclude "the GOP was unable to come up with a decent presidential candidate".
We can argue about the reasons. But there's no arguing with the conclusion.
You must not know Admiral Roughead.
Didn’t they call in the National Guard?
I’m ignorant? How did the National Guard roll in? Did the governor at the time authorize Clinton to take control? I do know Reno caused the SNAFU, but last I remember, she didn’t have the authority to order them around without Willy’s word.
I don’t look at the future with optimism. I don’t see us recovering without incredible loss.
So what happens if Obozo shuts down all comm under martial law and a "national emergency", orders the FCC to seize all cellular freqs, takes over the phone companies and talk radio -- just shuts down Rush, Laura Ingraham, Medved, the whole bunch of them? Hell, he could do it at the company level, like FDR did with Montgomery Ward I think it was, or was it Woolworth's? There was a famous photo that ran in LIFE magazine in 1942. I believe it was William Avery, chairman of the board of one of those companies, who didn't go along with FDR's seizure of his company. So FDR sent troops to his office, and they carried him out of his office still sitting in his director's chair. FDR sent his man in, and the company was nationalized.
Imagine Obozo doing that at Clear Channel and Fox.
So with comm shut down and military units operating under EMCON and all information being distributed within the military on a strict (and politically corrupted) need-to-know basis, just how are military families, or anyone else for that matter, going to "interfere" with Obozo's infowar gains against the People of the United States?
It's how the Federalists got the Constitution ratified against significantly numerically superior opposition, y'all. It's been done already. The Federalists instructed their appointed postmasters to hold newspapers and letters of prominent Antifederalists, delivering only weeks and months in arrears, to try to take them completely out of the national political debate. How's that for dirty pool that paid off and still shapes our country today?
You are taking the Constitution too seriously. 0 knows how to finesse around it and is much too fast for SCOTUS to keep up with him, even if they tried to. This bastard is dragging this country through the dirt and is having his way with it and the Constitution is of little use to us.
That pretty much describes what Lincoln did from 1861 to 1865. He handled the Supreme Court and didn't even have to arrest Chief Justice Taney (he did write out a warrant for the CJ's arrest and gave it to his political operative Ward Lamon, but he never gave the final word to serve it, apparently -- it was never served, for whatever reason).
The courts, in practice, were powerless against Lincoln, and the Congress, just like today, was full of his own factionaries, the South having left, and regularly whitewashed his more tyrannical inventions (the draft, the income tax, the blockade, raising troops to invade the South without authority -- he made sure Congress was no longer in session when the Fort Sumter crisis started), so that he was good on all fronts. In his four years in office, he also sent up four new Supreme Court justices, including Salmon P. Chase from his cabinet to replace Taney. Chase's whole brief was to defend Lincoln and his war, and he did. Even went out of his way to say (although nobody had asked) that secession was "illegal" and that States a) were never out of the Union but b) their enactments were all null and void anyway. Because that's what Lincoln needed him to say, from the Supreme Court bench.
I think Obama is following Lincoln very carefully and attentively, and I think he's looking for a crisis. Hence his constant poking and slapping at conservatives, and labeling us "extremists" and "terrorists".
Thanks for the education, but what I meant was the comms that have already, or are “presently” taking place. Don’t you think that if the comms get cut off under some sort of national emergency, martial law, etc., that the troops would be able to connect the dots, using what they already know?
But, does the Kenyan have the GUTS to do what it takes to become a Dictator?

If he truly is “the One”, then the REAL power behind him will be orchestrating what it will take. Hussein is just the figurehead that TPTB are using to subjugate us. (IF the “conspiracy theory” view of history is accurate.)
