HURT: America faces most dangerous two years in 150 years
The Washington Times ^ | November 5, 2014 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 11/04/2014 10:18:03 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

If President Obama suffered a “shellacking” in the 2010 elections, then what he endured Tuesday night was nothing short of a vicious gangland beatdown the likes of which have rarely been seen before in the history of electoral politics.

This, of course, is a wonderful and well-deserved outcome. But beware: America now enters the two most dangerous years of her existence — or certainly the most dangerous since the Great Depression and possibly going all the way back to the Civil War.

Not to dismiss the promising results of Tuesday’s election.

Voters clearly and forcefully rejected the party, politics and policies of President Obama. They slapped his socialist agenda back into the days of Soviet gulags, where it belongs.

His grand visions of mighty government ruling unchecked over desperate ghettos have been snuffed out.

Gone, too, were the so-called “low-information voters” who have been coaxed to the polls since 2008 on lies and false promises that the federal government would solve all their problems.

They are used up and wrung out.

Even the onslaught of threats and desperate accusations in endless emails to their Obamaphones couldn’t motivate those people to the polls one more time.

Voters rejected the craven, crass and mafioso tactics of Senate Leader Harry Reid.....

Doc, I really do believe the proponents of Obama's policies -- the deep-down-base proponents, the '60s and '70s "activists" whose kids are now shopping for the best "Manors" to put them in -- are done as a "movement." I see every day in my own life, as well as the news, the Reagan-era common-sensical, optimistic people emerging and indeed triumphing.

If this country could be sat down as one and told, "The only reason you have bought this BS ("racism," "environmental doom," "same-sex marriage," "legal marijuana," etc.) over the past 10 years is to pretty much give the "old hippies" their "victory" ... I believe things would become rather crystal clear as to what's been going on here.

These truly are people who spent their whole lives yearning for their rather bizarre dreams to come true. And Obama embraced that to get elected and win re-election. Guess what? It's ALWAYS been a crock, as the Reagan-era kids now grown up know full well.

So, yes, on a generational level, I think this man, and the people he relied on to get him elected, are DONE.

Obama doubles down when cornered.

It’s going to be ugly IMO.

ABSOLUTELY.

Unlike his opponents, Obama et al are true believers.
Their response tO this thrashing will be the American People were manipulated by “big corporate dollars” and misleading advertising. They will hunker down, mislead, plot, and fight tooth and nail to claw their way back in 2016.

The GOP, predictably, will be as dismayed and confused by their victory as McClellan at Antietem. Boehner and McConnell
will fear to take any vigorous steps lest they antagonize the media or their opponents.

The first order of business for the GOP SHOULD BE to strip Boehner and McConnell of Congressional leadership. But they won’t. The party of “we’re not the Democrats”will have as little vision in victory as in defeat.

And I hope I have to eat those words,

You won’t. One of the first things we’ll hear is “We’re going to work with the president on comprehensive immigration reform”

I've heard, essentially, that Tom Clancy's death was because he was working on a book where the President was actually a Saudi plant…

You are right on that. They will blame New Hampshire’s loss on Brown’s attacks on illegal invaders instead of Bastard Boston transplants.

We've heard from several of the GOP's elites that they want amnesty — it's a good bet that they'll push for it.

The next two months will be especially dangerous as Obama and Reid still have reckless appointment powers to shift still more power away from the legislature in favor of executive and judiciary powers.

The Supreme Court Justices who still follow the Constitution some of the time (Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Kennedy) should double their security and stay out of sight until January.

Forget about Impeachment. Not gonna happen.

Things will pan out exactly as Zulu suspects, hell McConnell has already CONFIRMED that fact to ABC:

McConnell tells ABC News that Republicans will not make investigating the Obama administration's lawlessness a priority if the GOP wins control of the Senate.

So kiss the IRS scandal, Benghazi and any other criminality this regime has done out the door - McConnell demands a 'clean slate'.

The Dems will be watching Obama closely for a psychological temper tantrum and will have him removed from office due to incapacitation is my hope.

GOP should get a big ground war going in Louisiana. Dems are going to defend and dump millions into the defense and bring in 1000’s of volunteers to harvest voters.

And as I used to write, and still do — some people find him useful; NOBODY respects him.
He is about to go catatonic.
