Done Compromising: Obama Unleashes His Inner Tyrant
A weak people will rally to a strong man on a horse, Mussolini's theory went.
Are we weak? Or-- are 51% of us weak?Since when do elected officials get to decide that they are “done compromising,” as the president’s chief of staff asserted? Obviously, politics, which at its heart is the art of compromise, is too pedestrian, too . . . democratic for this administration. In the eyes of the White House, the sham compromise on insurance payments was a sop to the serfs, granted by the magnanimity of the president, but in no way designed to derail the ideological objective of the policy. If we let this stand, if we buckle before such bureaucratic capriciousness, then we will have taken another significant step toward the imposition of government rule by fiat, and not by the will of the people. And once that victory has been secured, then the small steps will become larger and come faster and will not cease until liberty is defined solely by government officials. Or until they are opposed by a will just as strong and unyielding.Anyway, this is my big fear with Obama. It has gone beyond the political, gone beyond policy, gone beyond preferences. With a Republican Congress and an President determined to "win" By Any Means Necessary, as fellow radical socialist Malcolm X had it, Obama will resort to further and further tyrannical assertions of power. No tyrant ever gets a taste of Rule Without Limits and decides he doesn't like it. No, they all drink more from the poisoned spring. Via Monty, who's on twitter as @AoSHQDoom

no. I'm having this discussion with Geraghty on Twitter.
A lot of people say "America won't survive Obama's second term." They mean this rhetorically. It's an applause line.
I mean it literally. We will have a constitutional crisis and a reversion to authoritarian rule. The Democratic Republic of America will probably not survive, at least as we've come to know it.

This is what I have thought since after the mid term asswhopping by the American people he chose not to moderate at all and was going around saying he would circumvent congress.
That was him flicking off te majority of this country, and his media cheer team applauded. What if Bush after the 06 elections had said, well I'm going to go around congress those elections didn't matter? I'm sure we know there woulda been howls heard in space

And when all the power is in the hands of the executive, no one can resist ballot-stuffing; and you can't uncover that or punish it, because the Chief Executive is directing it himself.

Barky needs to be impeached, tried, convicted and then thrown up in front of criminal court. Period. Elections don't work against tyrants and just letting Barky abuse the Precdency does irreparable damage to the office and our system - which is his goal, anyway.
In addition, you have to factor into your analysis how Barky is going to be fomenting racial animus during his run like no ones business. B Hussein going to wage this election like S Hussein retreated from Kuwait, lighting every single oil well on fire and intentionally dumping tens of millions of barrels of oil into the gulf*. Scorched Earth. It's what America asked for in 2008 and what the Congress has invited with their cowardly refusal to defend anything about our Constitution or our nation.
B Hussein has already got that task checked off.

Since when do elected officials get to decide that they are “done compromising,” as the president’s chief of staff asserted?
Barky never compromisd on anything to begin with. Not a single thing. I really get tired of hearing this blatant lie, constantly. It's ridiculous. I can't even think of any of the "other Presidents on the dollar bills" treating the minority party in Congress anything like Barky did. He just refused to talk to any Republican.
These blatant lies and the comfort with which the left tells them (and America allows them to) says more about the truly sad state of our nation than anything else.

You know what really terrifies me about Obama? Comedians seem to be scared of him. They can't bring themselves to make the slightest joke at his expense. Many of these comedians were patting themselves on the back after telling hundreds of "Duurrr, Bush is dumb (but also somehow evil)!" jokes. Even the comedians who loved Clinton still made "fat hillbilly" jokes at the very least. But they can't take the lightest jab at Obama.

That's why I like Santorum, despite everything. There is not a doubt in my mind he will do his utmost to get rid of these programs. Sure, he might be a big government conservative, but so is Romney. I trust Santorum more to get rid of Obamacare and use the veto pen on issues like global warming and other bullshit like that.

Which is basically, crickets - barely a mention....and he hasn't brought up that shit since. I'd like to think that he reevaluated his position, but he's been swilling the kool-aid for far too long.

>>What if Obama packs the court (4-5
>>replacements coming) with his ilk?
This has been one of the arguments I'm making to my husband, who really loathes Romney and does not want to vote for him if he's the nominee.
However, it is frustrating as shit to know that if our Senators had some cajones, they could be blocking these bad appointments with a fillibuster even if we didn't get a majority.

51 You know what really terrifies me about Obama? Comedians seem to be scared of him.
Comedians these days are scared of their own shadows. They can't use a perceived slur in their act for fear of being paraded around on a Trail of Tears Apology Tour by GLAAD, or the NAACP, or La Raza, or NOW, or CAIR, or (insert token victim group organization here). Or they can look forward to being sued till their checking account bleeds red ink. Or they can just be blacklisted and never work again.
It's stupid and pathetic. Free speech is apparently not anymore.
Many a true thing is said in jest, and without the jesters a lot of truth never gets heard at all.

Since there is a lot of fretting about candidates words and positions... Thought I would bring up, that at this point in the last election Obama was:
-calling Hillary a warmonger for voting for the Iraq war (he would soon choose Joe Biden who also voted for Iraq as a Senator)
-Harassing Hillary for supporting drivers licenses for illegals.
In the 2000 election at this point Bush was talking about a humble foreign policy with no nation building.
Just remember how little any of what is being said or done ultimately matters. Look to their past... trying to pick a candidate now is like trying to pick a car based off car commercials.
Personally, I am voting third party, but I live in Utah so the republican vote for Mitt is pretty safe. If I still lived in a closer state no I wouldn't have that luxury.

Army Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, disclosed new details of China’s space weapons programs last week, including information regarding China’s anti-satellite missiles and cyber warfare capabilities.
Burgess stated in little-noticed written testimony prepared for an appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee that Beijing is developing missiles, electronic jammers, and lasers for use against satellites.
Much of the space warfare activity is being carried out under the guise of China’s supposedly non-military space program, he said.
“The space program, including ostensible civil projects, supports China’s growing ability to deny or degrade the space assets of potential adversaries and enhances China’s conventional military capabilities,” Burgess said.
“China operates satellites for communications, navigation, earth resources, weather, and intelligence surveillance, and reconnaissance, in addition to manned space and space exploration missions,” he said.
“China’s successfully tested a direct ascent anti-satellite weapon (ASAT) missile and is developing jammers and directed-energy weapons for ASAT missions,” he said. “A prerequisite for ASAT attacks, China’s ability to track and identify satellites is enhanced by technologies from China’s manned and lunar programs as well as technologies and methods developed to detect and track space debris.”
China’s January 2007 anti-satellite missile test involved a modified DF-21 missile that destroyed a Chinese weather satellite. The blast created a debris field in space of some 10,000 pieces of space junk that could damage both manned and unmanned spacecraft.
Meanwhile our Space Program is in the crapper?

Justices Ginsberg, Scalia, Breyer and Kennedy were all born in the 30's.
Between 2012 and 2016, Obama could realistically replace 3-4 of these with rubber-stamp Progs like Kagan and Sotomoyor, giving us another Warren Court for 2 decades+.

Congressional Republicans aren't speaking up against this kind of tyranny because they like this kind of tyranny. Look: elected Republicans are far closer to elected Democrats than they are tous out here in the country class. They are lords and we are vassals. The term "sop to the serfs" in the quoted article is more than a cute phrase. It rings true.
In five years, it'll be the Republican president's turn to bethe dictator. And that guy's unprecedented power will be due to the current GOP sitting on their hands now, when there's still time to fight against tyranny.
It's intentional. The federal government has completely insulated itself against any action by the country. The marches over the Spring and Summer of 2010, and the 2010 elections have proven that. There is nothing we can do. They know it. So they're now consolidating their power while there are still trappings of a republic.
In four years, nobody will believe this is a republic or a free country. Many folks won't care. But nobody will seriously argue that we're still a constitutional republic in anything but name.

FORT MEADE, Md. -- WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning was formally charged on Thursday ahead of a court-martial that could see the US soldier sentenced to life in prison.
Manning was charged with 22 counts, the most serious of which is "aiding the enemy," for allegedly turning over a trove of classified US documents to WikiLeaks in one of the most serious intelligence breaches in US history.
The 24-year-old Manning is accused of passing hundreds of thousands of military field reports from Iraq and Afghanistan and US diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks between November 2009 and May 2010, when he was serving in Iraq.
The leak of the military documents shed light on civilian deaths, while the diplomatic cables sparked a firestorm by disclosing the private remarks of heads of state and candid observations by senior US officials.
The US government slammed the disclosure of the documents by WikiLeaks, saying it threatened national security and the lives of foreigners working with the military and US embassies.
WikiLeaks supporters view the site as a whistleblower that exposed US wrongdoing and see Manning as a political prisoner.
I hope he rots in prison

Which is why I am voting against whoever is a sane human running against Orrin, the prick. He embodies the majority of GOP Senators who think they are in the House of Lords having tea parties with the Democrats.
Mike Lee, my other senator, was one of few who actually refused to confirm Obama's illegal appointments. Good for him.

Listen, we are on our own since the GOP establishment seems to be perfectly fine with his over-reaches, appointments and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy.
History has been a great and illuminating guide as to what is to become of tyrants.
The problem runs much deeper than a single man and a single party, the whole establishment is rotten to it's core, it needs to be hollowed out and
replenished with men and women who can be trusted to act in a way that shows fidelity to our founding principles.
The founders, looking down upon us, would find us unworthy of the gift they gave to us if we fail to act to restore fidelity to our moral underpinnings and constitutional government.
The time to act is now.

Not so. There's that "advice and consent" thingy in Art II, Sec 2. of the Constituion. Barky might ignore it, but Congress is likely not to. FDR tried "court-packing, and failed despite a landslide election win.

Just because we didn't like it doesn't mean it wasn't within their rights to do it. The fillibuster is there to protect the minority party from being run over by the majority party. But our minority party isn't even coughing in the general direction of a fillibuster.

I have nothing but contempt for the comedians. They would all rather slobber on Obama's knob than lob even the mildest of punchlines at his expense. They're not scared of him; they're in adoration.
Have any of you seen the new show "Key Peele" on Comedy Central? Those two guys could be funny, but their Obama material is so gutless, so slavish, so devoid of bite or sting that they're making fools of themselves.
Their idea of an Obama "bit": Obama needs an anger translator...because he's just so damn cool!

A very dear friend of mine, who passed away in 1997 went to Harvard,
Harvard Law, edited the Crimson and was on the law review the same time
that SCOAMF was there.
People remember him from Harvard, but his years at Columbia (it should be emphasized that it was Columbia's College of General Studies, which appears to be much like the Cornell Cow College) are a blank. My guess is that almost all of his "classes" were seminars in which he hung out BSing with radical professors.

That Issa didn't explode and say the House equivalent to "Fuck you and the whore you rode in on" and immediately hold him in contempt for the stonewalling he's done is an abrogation of any normal concept of responsibility and an insult to the citizens who he's supposed to represent. To hell with Issa.

Wilson was as bad or even worse than Obama.
FDR tried to stack the SC. He was stopped and the Constitution was amended to limit the number of terms for President.
Nixon used his Executive power unwisely and resigned.
The 60's saw the assassinations of two Kennedys and a King. The protests by dirty hippies made the OWS look like schoolchildren by comparison.

The election will be held. The SCOAMT will be
defeated. My fears are what happens afterward. The leftists/communists
were so close, so very close to complete takeover. Government and
institutional housecleaning will be violent.

Kinda how I've been thinking. I was thinking he could very possibly win the popular vote (like Gore) and still lose the election.
After all this OWS shit, the libtards will be foaming at the mouth and they will not take it quietly.

We never hear the rest of these stories, only the bits that are meant to scare us. Did the fried fight with the insurance company, get the doctor to fight? Sometimes these turn out to be simple coding errors, but we never hear that part.

What's the ethical problem with Republicans blocking bad judicial appointments?
I am not proposing that they block every appointment he attempts, but they should block unlawful ones (if they can; or at least protest vote against them) and should block unqualified judges. If a judge does not appreciate the limits of the judiciary, s/he is unqualified.

For the sake of argument, let's say her insurance wouldn't cover them. She couldn't get the script from her doctor and go purchase them herself? If my doctor told me I needed them to prevent cysts and my insurance wouldn't cover them, I'd buy them myself.
Oh, but that would require personal responsibility, something most people don't have, I guess.

You know what drives me nuts? People don't HAVE to use their employer's insurance. You CAN have your own insurance. If your employer's insurance doesn't cover birth control, DON'T USE IT. Get your own!
Or, heaven forbid.........YOU COULD SPEND YOUR OWN GOD DAMN MONEY..........
Sorry, I got a little carried away. But when did it become the responsibility of someone else (government, employer, etc) to provide you with every little thing you want/need.

@171 Then I misunderstood. Sorry.
@174 An illegal appointment, of course. Then the need to prevent it supersedes the rules of the Senate. But saying you will block "unqualified" judges is exactly what the Dems did to Bork and others. You can argue he is unqualified, and vote against the appointment, but that you do in the general session, not via filibuster. Believe me, we are in agreement about those sort of justices, but we lose all credibility if we do what we condemn from the other side.

It's my understanding that a filibuster is allowed to block judicial appointments.
Operating under that assumption, and faced with the option of a lifetime appointment of an activist judge like Sotomayor, I see no ethical problem with using the option.
You really have not answered my question about what the ethical quandary is. You are basically arguing it's bad politics. That's not the same as unethical behavior.

I don't see any sign that he does. The man won't run from RomneyCare and hasn't been sighted near the Tea Party.
Yeah, I get that he says the right things, but he's running like it's 2008 in reverse (now the *Dems* have the crappy economy!). It's not. The stakes are far, far higher than that.

Doctors can look into the future of healthy 20 year olds and know who is going to grow cysts. Because that happens. In fact 20 year old girls have their ovaries examined all the time. They do that because it's so common for 20 year olds to have cystic ovaries and show no signs. See no signs here means cysts are growing not that there is no problem.

Obama needs a thousand little Wacos and Ruby Ridges to make his dreams come true. He's not using me and mine as an example to get his job done.

51 You know what really terrifies me about Obama? Comedians seem to be
scared of him. They can't bring themselves to make the slightest joke at
his expense. Many of these comedians were patting themselves on the
back after telling hundreds of "Duurrr, Bush is dumb (but also somehow
evil)!" jokes. Even the comedians who loved Clinton still made "fat
hillbilly" jokes at the very least. But they can't take the lightest jab
at Obama.

They're terrified of being called "RAYCISST!" You can be called tasteless and still keep your job -- but the moment the R-tag lands on you, it sticks forever. Like leeches, man.

Best way to defang him is to elect his opposite. Ideally. by a landslide and complete control of House and Senate--to the extent the opposition cannot even act as a spoiler.
And allow this to continue for the 2 to 3 decades it will take to repair the damages the progs have done.

"King George hoped that kind of spirit would catch on in 1773 as well."
I have no illusions that our present trajactorywon't lead to violence eventually - and I prep for it. But if you don't think there won't be unpleasant and lasting side effects of bleeding out our friends and neighbors en masse, you're kidding yourself. Once a nation crosses that line, all bets are off.
Wesaw a string of miracles after Yorktown up until Washington ceded power after his eight years. The most important of these miracles was the quality of men who made up our Founders. Do you really see such quality in our "betters" these days?

One of the other things we absolutely must consider if this would come to civil war is the fact that there are many countries outside of the US that would be licking their lips and waiting for just the right time to move in.

When I muse about the best possible unconstitutional remedies to our increasingly-unconstitutional situation, the big wheel usually stops spinning at "Reboot Via Benign Military Coup". If that turns out to truly be our best bet, we're boned. Deeply, thoroughly boned.

I don't fear Obama. He is what he is. My fear is that we have no opposition party in this country that can or will stand up to him. That's certainly not his fault. I'm not sure it's the voters' fault either, a lot of us voted in 2010 for an end to this nonsense. What we got was something less than that.
Or to put it another way, the R Party, as it's currently formatted, has no real interest in stopping Obama, so I'm kinda having a hard time getting worked up about replacing Obama with an R version of the same thing.

That would work (I think) given our culture. The part about it actually happening is distant, imho, it would take a division such as the Civil War to be present. With a similar intensity and population divide.
Don't see any long term intensity on the left that would provoke a civil war.
And I like to think that a military subservient to civilian control, with that ethic ingrained for centuries would not suddenly decide to exert total control.

Wait, isn't this the same blog that, just yesterday, we were being lectured on the art of compromise?
It's so weird how some people want to compromise with the side who has never, nor will ever compromise. This isn't about purity, it's about actually winning instead of playing for political points.

Even accepting your premise that an Republican could act like Obama and get away with it, the transition to a GOP-flavored autocrat would at least give us a momentary respite. That's not the goal, of course, but it may be a necessary step toward the goal.

The scales have already tipped for America. The current slate of candidates does not include anyone who would do anything other than take his foot off the gas, in varying degrees. This has nothing to do with my "favorite candidate." This has to do with no candidate willing to do a U-turn. And that being the case, it would be better to get it over with, go off the cliff, and reset society.
I'd rather do it now, while I'm still living, than have my children face it alone years from now. And with a reset, the idea is that the old society can get rebuilt. Without a reset, continuing to kick the can, the old society may be gone forever. Think about it. Like ripping off a bandaid.

Any plans to handle 180% turnout in California? Who has standing to challenge result in Court? State or Fed?

Thanks for proving my point, Klansman screeminmeememe, that
you ARE a lying racist bigot! Clots like these retards appear to demonize
efforts to make Obama look like a traitor. Do they pause to consider this, or simply
rush in blind for the opportunity to throw this president under a train?
What kind of a man uses this term?
I think people that end up using racist terms are, for the
most part, uneducated and ignorant...aside from the obvious, racists.
They are usually close-minded.
They inherited this mindset from their uneducated,
unenlightened parents.
Kind of hypocritical that that Obama’s leadership is
demonize, Ok...but should people who voted for Bush twice *really* consider
themselves credible judges of effective leadership?
Obvious, they just want a racist, bigoted white president
who is a hard-core Christian who spews hate about religions NOT dominated by
bigots like him and start wars like a crazy….Wait, even though he wasn’t a racist,
bigot; we already had a president like that
They do not have the ability to feel empathy or
sympathy...essentially sociopaths.
Even though you appear to be an old man in failing health,
it is never too late to open your mind and your heart, and change the way you
live and see the world and interact with others.
And show some respect to President Barack Hussein Obama...he
is the PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. and A.
OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS CAUGHT ON OBAMA'S watch, not on the
watch of George Walter Bush, the WORST President in U.S. history...please
doesn’t give me that crap about “earning respect”. Bush didn’t earn my respect,
but he was my President and I respected him none the less.
What Marxist policies are now in place and what means of
production are owned wholly by the government?
As usual, anyone who calls Obama a Marxist is an uneducated,
lying racist. I guess that means you!
Obama is NOT a Muslim; he is an OPPORTUNIST, period. He's
proven this fact quite well over the past several years.
how many times have you been told that you are the personification
of racism and bigotry and when will it sink in?
Yes, you should be, you traitor. Show some respect, you racist,
bigot scum!

What makes anyone here think Obama will EVER leave the Presidency. He knows he will be arrested -- his scandals so massive, and his enemies he made so long, its a given. So he will never ever leave power.
Think Alberto Fujimori, and the "Self-Coup" for what Obama plans. President for Life. He's not culturally an American. He was born and raised a Muslim, most of his early life in Indonesia. "Give the boy, and I give you the man," etc. He's another Suharto, in waiting. That's his role model. His hero.
