That agenda is to lead us to European-style socialism. Despite the fact that socialism has caused the European economy to tank. Despite the fact its results have fomented rioting in the streets. Despite the fact that it has failed miserably. But Obama and his cohorts have an agenda, the agenda of the elites who feel they know better than the rest of us.
In addition, they have the mistaken impression that any rights We the People may have, derive from government. They, as the ruling class will decide what rights we may or may not enjoy, a concept anathema to our tradition, our sentiments, and our law. The Declaration of Independence, the very first piece of legislation passed by the very first Congress clearly states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our rights come to us from none other than our Creator by virtue of being human.
The Bill of Rights in our Constitution took that promise and guaranteed it under law. If this mandate stands, then the government will have effectively shredded the Constitution and replaced itself as the arbiter of rights and laws. If this mandate stands, it will set a dangerous precedent, for if the government can trample religious liberty, then none of our other rights are protected either.
Think about an America where no one has the right to private property ownership, no free press, no free speech, no protection from self-incrimination, no right of assembly, no freedom from search and seizure. That is what is at stake here. Each and every one of our liberties is on the chopping block at this moment in time.

We are only focusing on small parts of the Left’s assault on Freedom instead of seeing the big picture.
Most of what the National Socialist Left is doing these days can be placed in context of their War on Liberty.
Consider:
The Left is attacking religious Liberty with the mandates of Obamacare.
They are attacking the Liberty of Free-speech going after Rush Limbaugh.
They are engaging in an ongoing onslaught against a Free press with attacks against Fox News.
They want to deprive you of the Liberty of free choice in the car you drive with deliberate Downgrading of the energy supply.
They want to the use the cause of environmentalism to take away your liberty on what you can do with your private property.
They want to deny your economic Liberty by taking your earnings or by making you dependent on the government.
They want to negate the Liberty of defending yourself by taking away your God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Clearly the upcoming election will be a choice between the Liberty of a country under the rule of law or the tyranny of a country under the dependency of democratic mob rule.
How about we keep it simple.
This administration is out to destroy the United States and enslave the citizens.
From the Declaration:
"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government..."
It’s not only the RIGHT of the people to abolish a destructive government, but it’s also their DUTY.
But as the government becomes larger and all-powerful, this task becomes ever harder...
It is high time for the states, as well as individuals to tell Hussien to go to hell.
Our problem is much deeper than Obama. The entire democrat party must be removed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Looks like Thomas Jefferson summarized my comment for me over 200+ years ago.
* He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
* He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
* He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
* He {intends to keep} among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
* He {intends to render} the military independent of and superior to civil power.
* He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...
* For depriving us in many {future} cases, of the benefits of trial by jury...
* He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless ... savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
* In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
And why is that? It seems that the ruling class wants all power to decide how everyone else should live, indeed, whether they should live at all.
They do not fear God, but they can be taught to fear We, The People.
They also put cancer machines in more airports, and started subjecting more people, especially the very young, elderly, and infirmed, to even more indignities and molestations. This is all being done to prepare the sheep to living in a prison-camp state, taking off jewelry and shoes, putting up their hands in surrender, and walking right into radiation whenever some Cracker Jack-badged “authority” demands it.
And when those don’t prevent the next attack, they will heap more indignities upon us.
Completely.
This is a little aside, but we flew in and out of LAX this last weekend. There are now papers, please, “checkpoints” before you even get to the airport, with cops and canines. We were in a shuttle bus and were waved through. All the cops were missing were machine guns and I would have felt like I was in/near the Lima, Peru, airport (the last time I felt this much of a military/police-state).
I didn’t get selected for their cancer machines, so didn’t have to “choose” to be felt up. All the TSA guards we saw in LAX seem to have an attitude (not so in the city where we flew from, fortunately).
