Attempted Coup d'Etat

Obama complains that the Constitution is “fundamentally flawed,” because it fails to provide for redistribution of wealth. Apparently he compares the Constitution unfavorably with “The Communist Manifesto.” Such thinking may have been understandable in a young college student who was unaware of the 100 million deaths attributable to communism, but it is inexcusable in a supposedly mature individual in a position of great power. Obama fails to understand the fundamental goal of the Constitution − to reduce the risk of tyranny by limiting the power of the federal government. He sees this as a flaw, not as a virtue. He wants a “living Constitution,” meaning not the document as actually written, but a vague concept to be interpreted by liberal judges to mean whatever they want it to mean today. Tomorrow it may mean something else, depending on “current social needs” and “international norms.” I knew a guy in junior high school named Norm, but he had nothing to do with interpreting the Constitution.

Did you see Jonathan Alter crucify Dinesh DeSousa? Posing as an interviewer, CSpan2 booktv.org, let this blood sporter, Alter, “interview” Dinesh. Obama is not to be analyzed, criticised or otherwise reflected upon by anyone who isn’t already in the camp of Alinsky, Hitler, et.al. Dinesh could get only fragments of sentences out before Alter filabustered his every breath. Outrageous.

In the end, a “living Constitution” is like James Bond’s double-0 license − it empowers the holder to do anything he or she pleases. If you doubt this, consider Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response to a question as to whether ObamaCare is constitutional. She replied, “Are you serious?” − while giggling. That giggle revealed what the leftist attitude toward the Constitution really is: contempt.

This makes my blood boil! Excellent editorial.

Dinesh should have said "shut up you marxist son of a bitch and let a real American get a word in edgewise".

Highly effective.

" consider Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response to a question as to whether ObamaCare is constitutional. She replied, “Are you serious?” − while giggling. That giggle revealed what the leftist attitude toward the Constitution really is: contempt. "

The reason why their view the US Constitution with contempt is that they view that men have no right to breath free, that man kind should always have some kind of Iron rule ruling over them instead of a loving GOD ruling over them.
Actually, their contempt is towards the very GOD who has given these enalinienable rights.

“He sees this as a flaw, not as a virtue.”

Close. He sees this as an obstacle to his power, not a necessity for a viable nation. Then again, it’s pretty clear obama would be happy to rule over a failed state.

Why do you excerpt your own material?

Are you a Blog Pimp?

"Did you see Jonathan Alter crucify Dinesh DeSousa?

Why would he allow himself to be interviewed by Alter? That is just asking for it. Alter is a well known partisan hack.

We have a Constitution?

Excellent! Well thought out, brief and to the the point.
I always appreciate someone being able to summarize a clear, concise and cogent summary, as it makes it that much easier for me to organize my own thoughts prior to the next (inevitable) political “discussion”.... ;)
Keep up the good work, ignore the naysayers and “pimp” away!

People who watch TV allow the left/Dems/islamics to play their games and brainwash the masses.

Americans have a choice between the clicker and serfdom and they have chosen serfdom.

I refuse to play. I got off “The Matrix” over a year ago. F TV and Hollywood.

Except for the religion bit, looks like something I would like to have written.

Saved to my desktop to pass along.

“When I was choosing a title for this column, I wondered whether the term “coup” was too strong.”

In Obama’s own words, it is a “coup” -

I was thinking about this. I am 62 in March. I have decided I would gladly give up social security and medicare rather than freedom. In a free environment I could do better anyway.

[Ronbo1948]

That’s being harsh!

This topic is “bloggers and personal” - so if a FReeper wants post a link to his own blog, I see no violation of the rules.

I also think an apology is in order here.

[Ronbo1948]

I agree.

Obama and much of the American Left are dangerous psychopaths who have de facto launched a Socialist Second American Revolution against the Republic.

I can almost hear them chanting, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, the U.S. Constitution has to go,”

Now they face blow back from us “CONTRAS.”

I hope the enjoy the brewing counter-revolution they created.

[Ronbo1948]

I’m 62 and living on my military pension, and I’ll gradly give that up if it means saving the Republic.

As a former trained infantryman I know how to survive in the cold and rain.

I thought D’souza mopped the floor with him. By the time it was over Alter was hoarse, hunched over, clinging to the table.
