It is a win-win for Obama, simply because most Americans could not handle a guerrilla war, and would tolerate anything to continue living what they perceive as normal (the normalcy bias).<br /><br />In fact, the government is preemptively breaking down any would-be resistance by destroying the economy. A person on food stamps will not fight against the government.

Bring it on, it will hasten the new socialist paradise, when he puts martial law into effect. Judicial efforts to force him to remove himself from office? Don't make me laugh. Congress impeaching him? Never happen, and even if, by a miracle, they did vote to impeach, who would actually move to remove him from the White House? At which point, the New Black Panthers, the Unions, and other useful idiots would riot in the streets, tanks would surround the White House, etc. as SiGraybeard has said.<br /><br />I hope I am wrong, but it looks like a win-win situation for Barry, as far as I can see. I can't help but imagine that this is how he sees it, as well.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-66850613273919011432012-01-09T22:30:02.979-05:002012-01-09T22:30:02.979-05:00For all of my rhetoric, occasional flamboyant decl...For all of my rhetoric, occasional flamboyant declarations, and such, I agree that discussing the possibility of there not being an election in November sounds "out there", has the appearance of "conspiracy theory".<br /><br />However, when you sum up, as others have done, the incredible excesses in power displayed by this administration - from nationalizing the car industry and then handing it over to the unions, to creating trillions of dollars of debt called "stimulus" and giving it to his cronies on Wall Street, to shutting down the oil industry and then crippling it - with the attendant damage to our national security as well as the economy, to telling Congress that this President will decide what is or isn't Constitutional, to creating a czar and an agency that has no reins or controls or limitations on it whatsoever, to giving secret missile technology/capabilities to a foreign power which has been inimical to this country since its very beginnings, you speak of a ruler in love with power. You speak of an arrogance and agenda which will brook no argument, permit no impediment to its plans.<br /><br />Would such an overweening creature permit something as insignificant as being Constitutionally eligible to be elected decide whether or not it should be in power? Would such a creature be willing to allow the unwashed, ignorant, "clinging" masses to decide if it should continue to rule and shape this country in its own empty image? <br /><br />I fear it will not. Especially as it has seen that - up to this point, at least - none have moved to stop it, or even slow it down. Neither Congress nor the Judiciary have played their role of either check or balance to the power of the Executive. The governors of the States have not spoken up against this usurpation of the powers that were meant to rest with the States and the People, nor have the People themselves raised a serious outcry. <br /><br />The Great Pretender, Barack Hussein Obama - yes, key on my words, Carnivore - has decided to move into the open with his grasping of the reins. He is becoming more open about his desire to damage our economy and our national security. I wish I was simply behaving as a wild-eyed paranoiac, but I truly believe we are seeing the President move into the light as the man who will fundamentally change America from what was once a Constitutional Republic with a free market to a socialist paradise as troubled and as morbid and as failed as Cuba. With a "leader" equally as unwilling to relinquish control until He decides to do so.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-87373345799555455852012-01-09T22:09:06.111-05:002012-01-09T22:09:06.111-05:00All Obama would need is just one national emergenc...All Obama would need is just one national emergency. The NDAA seems designed perfectly to suit this. Also, plots to transform the country do not spawn overnight, and the bringing home of troops from Iraq seems to coincide a little too coincidentally with this new bill (all but a few people within the Iraqi government wanted the US to withdraw. Military spending has also increased dramatically under this administration if you compare Bush (300 billion on average) to Obama (600 billion on average).<br /><br />Also, more and more evidence is surfacing that the domestic prison camps (the "FEMA" camps) may in fact be real. An FOIA document pretty much confirms it: http://static.infowars.com/2011/12/i/general/kbr-doc.pdf<br /><br />Combined with Obama's anti-constitutional recess appointments and his gloating about it, and well, it is pretty obvious that he, as Adolf Hitler did, is using the democratic system to gain power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
