Here’s an old FR thread with an even older booklet written in 1938. Called “The Revolution Was”, by Garret Garrett, a conservative writer back in the day.
Just like your cartoon (well, much longer!), EVERYTHING that Garret describes about FDR can be said about Obama. It is not that unbelievable when one figures that to a marxist like Obama, FDR had the correct, and highly succesful, model to follow. He just didn’t go far enough.

I could highlight every single paragraph from that booklet as an example of what is going on today. Here’s one:
“Until it was too late few understood one like Julius C. Smith, of the American Bar Association, saying: “Is there any labor leader, any businessman, any lawyer or any other citizen of America so blind that he cannot see that this country is drifting at an accelerated pace into administrative absolutism similar to that which prevailed in the governments of antiquity, the governments of the Middle Ages, and in the great totalitarian governments of today? Make no mistake about it.
Even as Mussolini and Hitler rose to absolute power under the forms of law... so may administrative absolutism be fastened upon this country within the Constitution and within the forms of law.”
And both had/have communist buffalo wives.
Yep! Here's a section that clearly explains the past year. A time-tested map for imposing marxist ideology on sheep:
The test came in the first one hundred days.
No matter how carefully a revolution may have been planned there is bound to be a crucial time. That comes when the actual seizure of power is taking place. In this case certain steps were necessary. They were difficult and daring steps. But more than that, they had to be taken in a certain sequence, with forethought and precision of timing. One out of place might have been fatal. What happened was that one followed another in exactly the right order, not one out of time or out of place.
Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse. The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
Truly an excellent, time-tested map for imposing a tyrannical Marxist ideology on peacefully grazing sheep that has been successfully followed explicitly for the past year....and followed implicitly for the past 5-6 decades since ruse_evelt.
This is one reason why, IMHO, there is no longer a possibility of restoring any semblance of freedom and liberty via the ballot box.
The ballot box solution would require immediate dissolution of the government school system and the permanent assignment of the political hacks who represent themselves as "teachers" to other careers...as appropriate...
Then there would have to be 3-4 generations of intellectual education instead of the political indoctrination of the past couple of generations that has had moronic serfs creating new moronic serfs...Sort of like the Borg?
Hmmm! Fat chance!
