Some have given voice to a growing fear among conservatives that the American left is more committed to achieving its policy goals than to working within the confines of the U.S. democratic system. This fear has always been dismissed...because in a free, democratic society the ends never justify the means.
Since the founding, this political consensus has underpinned the stability and political success of the American experiment. Democrats and Republicans may disagree, but, with one tragic exception, neither has been willing to suspend the Constitution, take up arms or call for a revolution because the other prevailed at the ballot box.
But that consensus seems to be fraying. As the polls have turned against them, many Democratic liberals are beginning to doubt the wisdom not only of allowing people to make their own decisions, but of letting voters have anything approaching a free hand in electing those who will lead them. Most people, after all, can’t be expected to know what or who is good for them. They make mistakes, and mistakes are not easily tolerated by an elite convinced that it knows best...
...The governor, Bev. Perdue of North Carolina, said very specifically, “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years” and added, “I really hope someone can agree with me on that.” Without specifically agreeing that suspending the next election is viable, a lot of Mr. Obama’s “progressive” followers are of a mind with Ms. Perdue. Peter Orszag, Mr. Obama’s former head of the Office of Management and Budget, has criticized what he calls the “Civics 101 fairy tale about pure representative democracy” and said he thinks something should be done to develop a “new set of rules that would make legislative inertia less detrimental to our nation’s long-term health.”...

Your typical Democrat is the sort of person who never accepted the utility of democratic behavior.
An on-line condensed and abridged version. Worth a look. It's where where been going for almost 100years.

Keene is a crook and a corrupt Progressive. Destroyed the ACU and is underway to ruining the NRA. No matter what he has to say, he can go to hell.

Ossama bin obama just had a meeting with his czars and told them to figure out ways they could circumvent the congress and rule as they wish.
This is true-—check it out. He has also said this on national TV in the past.
Can you spell DICTATOR????

The sanctity of the secret ballot is one of their targets. They’ll end it just as soon as they can. Card Check is a warm-up for that effort.
The FDR years was just an earlier phase - that of mainly 5th column insertion within all levels of government, especially civil service, planted individuals that are heavily embedded and hard to pluck out. McCarthy was an attempt to answer that, with limited success. The insertion within Civil Service jobs continues at full force with zer0. To save this country, something will have to be done to allow a future limited-freedom-loving government the ability to strategically shrink government, in a way that removes these miscreants.
Fear? Republicans should not fear. They should make the Democrats fear.
Revolution INVITES attack from foreign powers.
Don’t do it. It’s suicide.

“Dictatorship of the proletariat (”99%)”, anyone?
To get there, however, they will need to go through Columbia and they have a really really really bad attitude about Leftwingtards!
The problem is that the Left has a strategy, a long view. The Pubbies only want to win the next election. We need a strategy of our own. The goal should be the complete destruction of socialism and all its adherents, and a return to the principles of 1776.
The Dems opposed the adoption of the constitution as well as emancipation. What do you expect?
Wake up, man! That consensus is gone. Today's Democrats are Communists. The only reason they haven't declared Martial Law is that they would be killed by the military and the People. If they neutralize those two groups, we will all be slaves to them.
