In what other bizzaro world would you see elected officials treat those whom they supposedly represent with such disdain and arrogance, as if they didn't exist, and if they did, their opinions wouldn't matter anyway?
In “normal” times, this would be cause for outrage unseen on both a local and national scale, but except for the Tea Party people, it is seemingly nonexistent. Very few incumbent “Republicans” voice their displeasure at such shenanigans.
No, there are other forces at work here.
Personally, I think the Dems, working in complete concert with any number of RINOs in power, are going to partake of the final coup after the election, but before January. In other words, their place in power has been assured by forces unseen behind the scenes.
Whether real or manufactured, unrest will undoubtedly surface late in the summer, or early fall. Although not particularly widespread, this unrest will be deemed “newsworthy”, and great focus will be applied to “threats” to may elected officials (most notably Democratic ones).
This may prove to be the pretext to confiscate privately owned firearms, and make their ownership a felony.
Inspired by this, Tea Party/Conservatives/Republicans sweep to a huge victory in November.
However, as the situation deteriorates across the country, Obama declares the elections null and void, citing “massive voting irregularities” and “civil unrest”, reiterates gun confiscation as a most important dynamic in restoring civil peace, and suspends the Constitution until such time as order has been restored.
He also declares those who were seated in the last Congress will remain so, until a later date when “more honest” elections can be held.
Of course, nobody turns in their guns - not even Liberals! - and the military badly fractures between heavily politicized officers and enlistments.
The result will be predictable.
As others have stated on this board, the intellectual heirs and disciples of Saul Alinsky and Antonio Gramsci believe we are in the end game for final control of this nation. The upshot is, we are, but the outcome won't be much to that crowd’s liking.
God, I pray for the soul of this Nation, every single day.
CA....
If he does that, he had better be prepared to oversee CWII during his last years.
