Chavez, Castro, Mao, Lenin none ever delivered on their ‘promises’, indeed the very people who put them in power wound up either dead or worse off than when they started.
I don’t count Stalin among them because he was just a power mad tyrant for his own self............
We already have tyranny by the expanding Police State at all levels of government but especially by President Obama and the federal government.
The tyranny is just not as pervasive, vicious and bloody as it will be if Obama and the MSM manage to steal this election.
All his rhetoric, including “you didn’t build that”, is justification for state confiscation of everything you own.
I had the urge to send this around, but I wonder how many of the still undecideds would understand it?
They wouldn’t even read it.
As a relative says. “Stop trying to change my mind.”
Bingo. That cuts right to the heart of the matter.
If you do not believe there’s a war on small businesses (kulaks) see:

Post Obama election, 200,000 small businesses closed and took over 3 million jobs with them. They’re not coming back under these current conditions.
Your neighbor has been convinced that ‘you didn’t build that’ and your good fortune has deprived them of theirs. ‘Give BACK’? Pay your ‘fair share’? You know which way the wind blows.
It's always will hit the fan. Please consider that it has already hit the fan. Here, in Greece, in Europe generally. For retirees who have seen 0% interest rates, falling capital values and no hope in sight (Hello Nov 6)
Couldn't agree more! I'm still banking on the next 6 weeks ushering in martial law across the country for a conveniently-timed crisis that can't go to waste, but in the event we do see the elections, I'm heavily hedging my bets that Obama and his ilk are going to pull out all the stops to defraud the election processes in this country.
The author is right, folks. The Democrats have been working for nearly 100 years to bring about a slow, grinding descent into popular socialism and totalitarianism of the Federal government. They've done everything in their power and within the confines of the legal system to implement sweeping social policies that have fundamentally changed what it means to be American.
No longer does being American mean hard work, dedication, and perseverance. No longer does being American mean patriotism or national pride. Being American means hand outs. It means bailouts if you run a business with historical pedigree. It means you can become "too big to fail." It means that if you're poor, you don't have to work to get back on your feet; the government can help you live out the rest of your years.
Well, the long knives are out now, folks. The Democrats are no longer hiding their intentions. Their socialist/Marxist tendencies and allegiances are out in plain view for all to see. The bone-chilling thing about that fact: no one seems to care. Like the Corinthians, they want a tyrant to rule them so they don't have to work. Like a cancer, they are now wholly dependent on Uncle Obama to keep them fed, keep their cable TV going, keep their smartphones working, keep fuel in their Escalades, and keep them in their foreclosed McMansions despite being unemployed for over a year and a half.
This election is about everything America used to stand for. The Democrats are no longer pulling their punches. They are outright telling us that they are going to cast aside the Constitution, implement an international rule of law, and force those of us who do work to give up most of our money, our personal property, and our freedom "for the common good."
I'm sad to live at this time in our history. I'm sad thinking that at some point the government, specifically the military, is going to turn its guns on us to force us to do the government's will. I, for one, will not sit down and allow this, and thus, I know that my days on this planet are numbered. I have nightmares of being bound, gagged, on my knees, with an Army officer's sidearm to my head demanding that I pledge my allegiance to Obama, and my muffled, "No" is clear enough that everything goes dark and I wake up in a cold sweat. Someday, I fear soon, I won't wake up.

Is that why people around Obama - especially the air-head women - the manipulative liars who seem too incompetent for the level they're working at - are running the show?
Good post. Unfortunately, I, being of a pessimistic turn of mind, think that no matter if Romney wins—unless it is a landslide of historic proportions—it should be clear that the electorate has changed and for the worse, and this country is on its last legs as a free and prosperous nation.
But it was a nice 236-year run. I was one of the fortunate ones, having been born in 1940 and had a life in which I experienced America in all its splendor. I feel sorry for those today who are ambitious and hard-working. Their future is far less than bright.
What a shame. It’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.
They're not the ones running the show - that's done by the barbarians on the other end of his BlackBerry. They're not airheaded incompetents; they're very good at what they do.
Unfortunately, they've chosen to use their powers for evil.
My only quibble with what you've said is that it's not "Democrats" - it's "Progressives" - the fun-loving guys who brought us Income Tax and Prohibition.
And there's plenty of 'em in both major parties. Think John McCain, Lindsey Graham and George Bush.
If he doesn’t get another 4 years, SHTF too.
There’s no way out of this that doesn’t involve much unpleasantness.
I was using the more contemporary Democrats as examples, but you are correct that progressives, in historical generality, are the reason for all of this. Thank you for the correction.
