EDITORIAL: Obama’s war on democracy--President’s campaign forces seize Wisconsin statehouse
The Washington Times ^ | February 18, 2011 | Editorial

Posted on 02/18/2011 4:15:02 PM PST by jazusamo

Message to Wisconsin taxpayers: President Obama and the Democratic National Committee have declared war on you. Message to other states: You’re next.

The political unrest in Wisconsin, billed as some kind of grass-roots uprising, is being organized and directed by Barack Obama‘s Organizing for America and the Democratic National Committee. This development is consistent with Mr. Obama‘s instructions for supporters to “get in the face” of those who oppose them, but in this case, they are seeking to derail a lawful legislative process.

On Thursday, 14 Democratic state lawmakers fled Wisconsin’s capital to prevent the legislature from conducting official business. Dan Grandone, state director for the president’s campaign apparatus, accused Gov. Scott Walker of “ignoring Wisconsin voices today and asking for the power to drown them out permanently tomorrow.” It is important to note that the voices of which Mr. Grandone speaks are not those of the public at large. Voters sent an unmistakable message in November by taking solid majorities in the state Assembly and Senate away from Democrats and handing even greater control to Republicans. Mr. Walker, a Republican, won by six points over the incumbent Democrat.

That the protesters speak in a different voice can be seen in the signs they carry. Many compare Mr. Walker to Hitler, Mussolini or Hosni Mubarak. One placard had the slogan “Repeal Walker” with the governor’s head in sniperscope cross hairs. This is the symbolism that Democrats recently denounced as “hate-filled rhetoric,” and it is far from the voice of the public. It is rather the voice of an entitled class that seeks by any means to stop its free ride from coming to an end.

We tried to tell ‘em back in November 2008. A commie fascist dictator without any proof that he’s even an American was not the way to go.

If need be, perhaps explaining it to Mr 0bama in his own words might be useful...

We WON, You LOST!

So you all can get in the back seat, but we don’t want you all talking too much while we solve the problem you made.

There, now maybe he will understand.

But we can turn things around if we get rid of this neo-Marxist in 2012 AND get back the Senate.

Yeah, I guess this is what a “Community Organizer” is really good at...fomenting anarchy and mob rule. They had an election last fall and elected leaders are following through on what they were elected to do.

These dems and leftists only accept democracy when the vote goes their way. When it doesn’t, they do anything to contravene democracy.

Yup! Some of us really tried hard. And most of us was willing to accept McCain over the lying con jackass Obama. We tried to convince some of the hard heads that it was better to accept the lesser of the two evils than lose America. Most of us knew hope and change was communists inspired. Here we are, really messed up and the garbage still supports King Obama.

This development is consistent with Mr. Obama‘s instructions for supporters to “get in the face” of those who oppose them, but in this case, they are seeking to derail a lawful legislative process... One can reasonably ask why Mr. Obama is spending his time seeking to undermine democratic processes in U.S. state legislatures...

Governor Walker should sue Obama in federal court on the grounds that his supporting the storming of the Wisconsin capitol and AWOL Democrats is unconstitutional, and maybe even a high crime and misdemeanor.

Article IV Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Obama (and now Pelosi) is openly working to undermine the Republican Form of Government in Wisconsin by blocking the state's legislative process, essentially attacking it by using its apparatus against itself. He is effectively supporting the overthrow of the legislative process in Wisconsin by ignoring the Wisconsin State Constitution, just as he is ignoring the United States Constitution.

Obama, and his henchmen should be blocked and restrained from approaching Wisconsin legislators on the grounds that it violates the federal government's Article IV requirement to "guarantee... a Republican Form of Government" in Wisconsin.

King Obama, the Rabble Rousing Community Organizer. Set on fomenting as many of these “uprisings” as it takes to sink this country. Hiding behind a thin veneer of respectability.

This is the same old argument. After viewing the horror of the last two years, overall, I'm glad the 2008 election went the way it did. Why? Because John McCain is a commie puppet and would have done much of the same stuff that Obama has done, just more slowly and wrapped in the flag. At least now, the Beast is out in front for all to see, and this lazy, apathetic, dumbed-down country of ours can finally wake up to reality and be motivated to get off its ass and put things to right again. With McCain, all the so-called conservatives would have sat back and said "Whew, thank God we won. Now I can go back to sleep." Bah. Let's get this apocalypse on. The longer we wait, the more damage will be done.

You may not be far off. For POTUS to side with the likes of people he is siding with now will make a lasting stain on the office and undermines the rule of law.

These fools in Wisconsin had better be VERRRRY careful....
You see, not everyone you will come across in the real world is so tolerant of foolishness and believe it or not, many people take the threats that these apes are screaming seriously and will do what is necessary to defend themselves, their families and country....it only takes one.....
