Does anybody here seriously believe that Obama won’t try to repeal the 22nd Amendment to exceed the number of terms FDR served?

47 now.

55 in November 2016 and entering his political prime.

Read Saul Alinsky and his rules for radicals. I mean, read it cover to cover. The goal of Alinsky and his followers is to obtain ultimate power by any means necessary. Once obtained, does anyone think a man as arrogant and elitist as Obama is will willingly go back to being “Mr. Obama, former President.”

Well, thanks to 62 million fools, Obama has achieved ultimate political power when one includes an ultra-liberal Congress (which will NOT be a check and balance to an Obama presidency).

Obama is not centrist. He is a committed leftists in the Alinsky style. He will never govern as a centrist. He and the left will do everything in their power, legal and extralegal, to move our “center-right” country into a “far-left” one, even if they have to suspend the Constitution.

Once they obtain power, the left never, ever intends lose it.

For those who think that with The One safely in office that the media will suddenly become “critical” of his performance as a “free press,” you’re smoking crack. They won’t, because they already fear the backlash against them by the public. So they won’t do anything to cause Obama to become “dis-elected.”

For those that think there will ever be fair, vote-fraud free, LEGALLY financed, elections again, you’re brain dead. The “loophole” allowing illegal domestic and foreign political contributions will never, ever be closed. Thank McCain for that!

For those who think that Obama and the Democrats will NOT hold “show trials” for Bush, Cheney, Rice, et. al., which is what their moveon.org base demands, you’re useful idiots.

And meanwhile the Democrats seem to be drifting toward the concept of prosecution of former office holders by criminalizing policy differences. That’s a certain formula for civil war; perhaps not immediate, but inevitable. The absolute minimum requirement for democratic government is that the loser be willing to lose the election: that losing an election is not the loss of everything that matters. As soon as that assurance is gone, playing by the rules makes no sense at all. (Pinochet learned that lesson. Fortunately for Chile, he was old and was allowed to die in peace; the inevitable — liberals can always find a good reason not to keep their word — persecutions after he turned over power on the assurance that he would be allowed to retire in peace were not so severe that his adherents didn’t take to their weapons.) Jerry Pournelle

This is an historic election. Not because a black man was elected, but because it marks the probable end of the Republic.

That is why Obama is not, and will never be, my President.

Oh, he’ll sit in the chair and rule us. But I’ll owe no obedience to him or those who support him.

And I intend to do everything legally in my power to register my opposition to him, his election, and his party.

And given the hatred I’ve already received by liberal Democrats both online and in person as a Republican, I intend to give them what they gave us.

And I don’t really care what anybody thinks.
