On point #1. Er, it's not just the President who's on a spending spree. The House can reign in spending. After all they have the constitutional authority to do so, yes? Now, would Obama veto? Of course but that's not the issue. The House could deny Obama all his goodies. But they don't so you have to ask why. They like the money too.

I'm not sure a change in command will affect this but hopefully I can be proven wrong. Perhaps a change in Speakership. Sorry but we continue to put hopes on politicians who got us into this mess. A great majority of them do not have our best interests.

Not present on this list, but necessary to its fuller implementation...

Suppression of criminal dissent.

Dissent becomes “extreme”, then “risky”, then “we can’t allow a small but dangerous minority to derail progress”, to “prevention of tragedy” and so on, to camps and killing pits at the far and final end.

It’s such a plain and simple slope yet our population has been deliberately idiotized to the point of wanting to try it out.

if you can’t see the sarcasm in signing a post, Weimar Germany, I don’t know what to tell you..
Weimar Germany is a mirror of what we are going through right now. Poor economic conditions, a lack of leadership and a desire for things to just get back to the way they were. The vacuum that was created by apathy was filled by a dictator-in-waiting with a plan to save Germans from themselves. One of the contributing factors was key voting blocks decided to vote for a group or a party that had no chance of leading or even getting any influence in coalition govt, it was just a protest vote. The lack of a legislative majority, because of the protest voting, led to a plurality by a group nobody really liked, but managed to get small population groups in certain regions to vote for them. They then forced smaller parties to go along by promising to punish the second largest group and dole out power accordingly.
The historic parallels are frightening.

I think its become obvious that many of these people actually want an obama second term actually hoping for total collapse.

Yes the House could veto, but not without the Senate

How about they at least try, and at least make it a central issue - which it already is!! They’re not even trying to be fiscally conservative.

He was being sarcastic.

BTW the rats taking back the House is not on the table.

There might have been, but I stand by what I said. Not voting would guarantee his reelection, the rats getting the House back and keeping the Senate.

or just cast a protest vote

Ah, the protest vote. They tell us that Romney is just the same as obama so they are going to vote for some pure conservative they met at the grocery store who never ever disagrees with them. They'll show those darn Republican leaders! Maybe next election they'll give us a REAL conservative.

That might have been a great idea at one time, but this time it will mean that the left WILL be able to put into place EVERYTHING they need to put a permanent lock on their power. The presidency, both houses of Congress, the federal judges, the Supreme Court, the swarms of "legal" illegal immigrants, the media. Obama won't even need Congress. He will just do what he wants. No one will stop him since there aren't enough Pubs and the dems want him to do whatever he wants.

Sure, there will be more elections down the line, but guess what? Pubs will never win another.

So, you say, we'll have a revolution. Great. Won't that be fun?

I think Romney is nothing but a damn liberal. However, I must vote for him since he is running against a Communist.

Yes, and you see it to, history is repeating itself. Just like Germany promised to back Serbia in 1914, the US is promised to back Israel. Funny, how Russia is on the other side again.

I’d add that Obama will continue to issue illegal Executive Orders that in effect by pass Congress and give himself vast new powers. His first use of these new powers will be to muzzle talk radio and Internet blogs and virtually end free speech. I would not put it past him to also end free elections by 2016. This is how how Caesar Chavez became dictator.

IF BHO is reelected, then by 2016:

1. Obama will be First Citizen, de facto Emperor.

2. The US Republic will be a facade, with all the power concentrated in the Executive branch.

3. Rule of law will have become a quaint memory.

4. Citizens will become subjects.

5. Government will determine what are ‘rights’ of the people.

6. The last light of western Christian world evangelism will have been extinguished.

7. Our children will have lost the blessings God bestowed upon our generation.

8) All 401(k) savings accounts will be severely regulated and taxed. The Obama administration will direct all investments of retirement plans to only government bonds, T-notes, etc. Contributions will no longer be tax free.
