EDITORIAL: Obama and dictatorship
The Washington Times ^ | Jan. 3, 2012 | Editors

Sorry, defense authorization isn’t opening the door to a liberal police state

Can a mundane defense authorization law create an Obama dictatorship? Many people on the political right and left have been alarmed by language in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that they argue authorizes the president to use military force to capture, detain, torture and kill Americans at home and abroad. The furor centers on Sections 1021 and 1022 of the law, which deal with detaining terrorist suspects. Specifically at issue is to what extent the law allows the government to treat American citizens like enemies of the state.

He signs bills into law and then states that he will not abide by some provisions.

He openly defies the Senate's power to approve appointments.

He now decides to give defensive missle technology to the Russians.

He (like all Dems) is calling for gutting of our military.

What is to restrain him from placing many of us in Camps?

As I said on the day of his corronation:

"Welcome to New Kenya (Africa USA) Where the law of the jungle has replace the Law of the Land"

TRAITORS!

Funny, I said on the day of his corronation:

“Welcome to Detroit”

Every day is just one more step to a societal collapse.
I am amazed that this has gotten so far out of hand.
The agents of this are deeply entrenched in the machine.
It seems that the machine will need complete dismantling to remove the corruption.
It's not going to be done with clean hands.

How long will Rush Limbaugh and Free Republic be allowed to stay “on air”?

If the evil bastard is “re-elected” {he will do everything he can to steal the election}, I wonder.

Well, that depends on what happens in the next few months.

His charted paths to reelection:

1. election fraud

2. 3rd party scams

3. GOP implodes

He will do all he can to bring all 3 forward.

Our course of action is to beat him at the poles and then investigate and remove he and his enablers. TRAITORS ALL.

This guy's argument is based on the theory that the U.S. Constitution is still in force. I don't think it really is. No one, not the courts or congress has done anything to stop our slide into tyranny. A Coup d’état is happening right now in plain sight. I'm just waiting for the Tea Party to burn down the U.S. Capitol building.

Real question is what happens when they aren’t.
I hear a lot of trash-talking rhetoric.
“404 - Not Found” What then?

That’s right.

People have been warned not to cross the line in opposition. Death threats to them and their families.

“The Reichstag fire”?

We shall see. If it were not for the “non conventional” new, this would be much worse. So far we have been fortunate enough to expose many of their criminal acts. The problem is, they have not been punished for trying them.

‘Detroitistan’ makes no sense.

Gutting the military means a whole lot more money available (or the continued illusion of such) to spend on buying votes. Halving defense spending means another $300B to “redistribute” in a way which will reward him more.

Common assumption is he’ll have a billion-dollar campaign war chest, and that anyone can win given sufficient money.

If just 0.01% of all new federal spending under this administration makes it back to the Obama’s pocket, that’s a billion dollars. In addition, that’s a billion dollars in small donations - spreading the wealth reaps the gratitude (paying back just one penny out of every hundred dollars) of recipients.

The Republicans made a huge mistake in raising the debt ceiling. Every time they jack it up a trillion dollars, BHO gets another $100,000,000 for re-election.

(OK, so the numbers are rough guestimates. You get the idea.)

Why put us in camps? To what end?

He and his cronies want POWER. So long as you obey the rules (however loudly you may object) and pay your taxes ("go Galt" if you like, your loss, just pay what's due) BHO will get that "redistribution" thing going faster, whereby grateful recipients "redistribute" some of that money back to him (just 0.01% will do nicely). Backroom deals with Republicans continue, buying off the leadership and any other opposition; money talks, everyone has a price, and enough money moving fast enough funds anything you want.

Not sure how he'll fare when the system collapses, though. I don't think he's trying to destroy it per se, just doesn't care what the consequences of extreme "redistribution" is and isn't worried about what happens when he runs out of other people's money. For all the rhetoric, the Tea Party doesn't have much of an endgame, at least not one that concerns him.
