The United States no longer has, as the Constitution designed, a government composed of executive, legislative and judicial branches, separate, but equal in power.
The federal government is now an alliance of branches, devoted to the preservation of government itself, separate, not from each other, but from the American people and dedicated to tyranny.
The policies pursued by the Obama Administration and facilitated by cowardly politicians and a compliant media are not simply the intersection of radical ideology and incompetence, but a dangerous subversive element of an anti-American and anti-Western strategy.
Cultural Marxism and its many variants, such as political correctness and multiculturalism, is now firmly ensconced in the White House and the Democrat Party, while the Republican Party, dominated by eunuchs and the avaricious, continuously accommodates its “principles” to match an ever-shifting leftward movement of the “conventional wisdom.” It does so solely in to maintain its place as the token opposition and grifter at the federal tax-revenue trough for the personal financial benefits that it provides.
After the successful 1917 communist revolution in Russia, it was widely believed that a proletarian revolt would sweep across Europe and, ultimately, North America. It did not.
As a result, the Communist International began to investigate other ways to create the state of societal hopelessness and alienation necessary as a prerequisite for socialist revolution – in essence, to destroy western democracy from within.
The single, most important organizational component of this conspiracy was a Communist think tank called the Institute for Social Research, popularly known as the Frankfurt School. The task of the Frankfurt School was first, to undermine the Judeo-Christian foundation of Western civilization that emphasized the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual and, second, to determine new cultural forms which would increase the disaffection of and division among the population.
Just as in classical economic Marxism, certain groups, i.e. workers and peasants, are a priori good, and other groups, i.e., the bourgeoisie and capital owners, are evil; in Cultural Marxism feminist women, racial and ethnic minorities and those who define themselves according to sexual orientation are deemed good and “victims” of societal injustice. Similarly, white males and “privilege” and, by extension, Western civilization, are automatically and irredeemably malevolent.
Sound familiar? It has been the playbook of the American left for over sixty years. The aim is not to solve social injustice or protect “rights, “of which the left can concoct an endless supply, but to undermine and topple Western democracy.
The new element in this formula, using the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” paradigm, is what David Horowitz described as an unholy alliance between leftists and radical Islam. They have been brought together by the traits they share – their hatred of Western civilization and their belief that the United States is the embodiment of evil on earth. While Islamic radicals seek to purge the world of heresies and of the infidels who practice them, leftist radicals seek to purge society’s collective “soul” of the vices allegedly spawned by capitalism — those being racism, sexism, imperialism, and greed.
That combination of these ultimately mutually exclusive, but temporarily useful, ideologies is arguably the modus operandi of Barack Hussein Obama and his inner circle with a larger cast of fellow travelers and useful idiots.
It is no surprise, then, that lying and secrecy have become the hallmarks of an administration immune both to facts and reason, plagued by contradictions and led by an individual with the impatience and petulance of an insecure adolescent from a political party with the emotional stability of a disgruntled postal worker.
Obama’s transformation is fundamentally the degradation and humbling of a great nation he considers venal and corrupt, but is, in reality, merely a description of the content of his own character.
He and his present anointed successor and Mini Me, Hillary Clinton, are manifestations of modern-day, totalitarian Liberalism, in its insatiable thirst for power, where persuasion is replaced by coercion to implement policies that are inherently damaging to liberty and the national interest.
Unfortunately, the federal government, as an institution, has largely come to reflect those same characteristics, the tyranny that led the Founding Fathers to declare independence.
In their effort to make the central government “too big to fail,” the political-media complex has made it too corrupt to reform.
It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government – Thomas Paine

>>Did we throw the baby out with the bathwater this week? Is the baby mid-air?
They boiled the bathwater with the baby in it this week. All we’re doing now is cleaning the bowl.
Cheer up people. Collapse precedes Score Settling.
American rights and the Constitution have become Ground Zero.
We’ve spiked the baby like an end zone celebration.
I agree. And it WILL come.
I cancelled my Amazon and Wal Mart online accounts today because they have become instruments of the suppression of my freedoms. It may seem a small thing in the face of all that is against the ones of us who still know the values our nation was founded upon. I believe Americans have grown so confident that they would never have to face the conflicts our founders did that they will awake too late. However, I feel that every dime I can deny my now self-sworn enemies is a good thing. I also believe that this is about much higher and important things than just our national pride. I wonder what Lot did before the Lord called on him to take his family away before the fire and brimstone hit. Maybe Christians should be thinking along those lines too. Perhaps Revelation 18;4 is our only option. How? Only God can lead us.
I’ll take Civil Disobedience for .308, Alex.
Oooohhh...I got that one, totally.
The federal government is now an alliance of branches, devoted to the preservation of government itself, separate, not from each other, but from the American people and dedicated to tyranny.
...
Great statement. I wish I could condense it into a tagline.
“Sound familiar? It has been the playbook of the American left for over sixty years.

First off, I don’t care what the origins of the Left’s planning and ambitions is or are. They are a given and not necessarily illegal. I care about the fact that the supreme court has thrown out the Law and has imposed it’s own judgment in it’s place in the matter of Obama care and Deviant marriage.
Secondly the good sir has it askew, the revolution is being perpetrated AGAINST US RIGHT NOW. If we rise up in resentment against it WE sure as HELL aren’t the revolutionaries. We are The American People, RESPECTORS of Law and Order.
What we must do now is form up in a group, define our lawful Constitutional concerns, demand those in the respective positions of responsibility do their job and, failing that, damn well do it ourselves. I don’t see any other way.
That's easy: We're screwed!!!

I think those knee-jerk ideological boycotts hurt the consumer more than the businesses (even in aggregate). It's your right to do so, but remember that both businesses sell many good Christian books, etc., as well, regardless of what the PC corporate spokeshomos say.
"Score Settling" does not work in only two directions. It will work 57 different ways. Many, if not most of those with whom you would like to settle scores will not do the honorable thing and take you on face to face, man to man. They will go after the weak, helpless and undefended. They will go after them en mass.
Anarchy is a terrible thing. Do not seek it. After anarchy comes hunger, disease and famine. All the "preparation" in the world will not save you for very long.
Federal government - three headed tyrannical snake.
There are many accounts to settle. It will be a butchers bill, payable in blood.
Take each of these themes and write them down on a piece of paper: the communist intent, the GOP complicity, the Islamic connection, the total depth of treachery, the will to exert control by any means. Then, take all the solutions that are being floated out there by our “leaders” (including senator Cruz). Draw a line from the solution to the problems if fixes. You will not have a line drawn to depth of treachery and the will to exert control.
