Why would anyone, ANYONE, be surprised when Romney continues to disappoint? Even if the Obama team sees this as a trap, it’s a trap any sane person should jump at. So we have an immigration problem. So what? Does the fact that Congress can’t agree on something give the president the right to act like a king? No.
We know Obama’s core constituents on the left will love this, including doing it by imperial decree. They really don’t care about the law or democracy. Seriously. The left only plays along so long as it wins. If winning means upholding the law, they’ll use the law to strong arm their opponents. If the law opposes what they want, they’ll try to get it redefined by the courts, and if that fails, they’ll do whatever they please in spite of the law.
Leftists are rebels. They rebel against any authority other than their own, including God’s. They hold a lot of the key cards, like our schools and the media, but they do not necessarily have enough to make a political majority (as another FReeper pointed on another thread, they don’t really have a political majority, so the left is trying to import one).
The left has slowly worked its way through our institutions for decades, but it carefully (wisely as a political strategy) never revealed its true agenda. Even though they despise the rule of law and representative democracy, they were always careful to mouth the right words in public.
Well, now NO ONE has an excuse for not knowing what the left wants. We aren’t voting for a constitutionally limited president. Next election, we’re voting for a king.
Good rant. We have been warned against this for decades. But what could we have done? The Left has been patient. The Left has erected stone scarecrows (”MCCARTHYISM!”, “RACISM!”, “BIRCHERS!”), which work effectively in the public square against any opposition! (Try saying the word “mulatto” on this very forum.) We are close to the state that the Communist countries were just before 1989, and our King behaves like a Commie gensec, and they, recall, had some supervision by the Party’s Central Committee. Does he?
