Mr. President, learn from Ceausescu (Obama's Ceausescu Moment)
World Net Daily ^ | 10/05/2010 | Barry Farber

Exclusive: Barry Farber says Romanian dictator, Obama 'share a lamentable trait'

Just before Christmas of 1989 Ceausescu felt no reason for unease. His Securitate, Communist secret police, kept the nation in fear as effectively as Hitler's Gestapo. His order of lights out at 7 p.m. to save resources drew Romanian profanity, colorful but not deadly. His pet project, a palace that would rival Versailles in senseless grandeur, was progressing on schedule, and Ceausescu used to visit the site often to rub his bare hands over this monument to his greatness. His desperate subjects trying to escape by swimming the Danube across to Yugoslavia were shot in the water or, if the Securitate's navy men felt sporty, chopped to pieces by the propellers. It was a dictatorship with hundreds of love-poems to the dictator and zero back-talk from the masses.

Snip

Overt hatred of you, your team and what you represent, Mr. President, has soared to a new level. Former Vice President Al Gore's speech was shattered the other day when someone yelled, "You're a fraud!" Those who agreed obliterated the rest of Gore's remarks. You, yourself, recently had to stand there lamely and gamely and suffer face-to-face excoriation from a woman your protectors and image-buffers had every reason to believe was on your side.

You know what you're doing that generates this negativity. Stop it! Cut it out! Reverse it, please, while we're still far from any "Romanian" moment!

There is no way he could have foreseen how much worse this has gotten.

Or could he?

Is the removal of Morsi, Obama's hand picked Egyptian leader, be Obama's "Ceausescu Moment"?

This is tied directly to Benghazi.

The truth about Benghazi MUST be revealed, completely. No matter who is harmed by the truth.

Note, it took 3 tries before I could get this posted. I have been battling active web filtering to prevent it. Paranoid? Nope, I can prove it.

Who? guess it does not matter.

Just to give you an idea of the mentality of these creeps.... Mrs. Ceausescu spit at the firing squad.

That tells you everything you need to know about them.

Both diehard Commie Despots.

Time to uncover the secrets hidden under the Rock called Benghazi. Light of Day. Reality.

There is a story of one pharaoh in ancient Egypt that took the people to place they did not want to go. You must remember that at the time, a Pharaoh was thought of as a living GOD.

The people turned against him, destroyed him and his family and all that associated with him, and then removed his name and images from where ever they could find it.

What is it that can push ordinary people to rebel against the ruling elite? I don’t know, it is most likely something different for all such cases. What is known is that when people are pushed too far, they react.

The American people are being pushed in all directions right now.

I hope they managed to hit less than vital parts on their first volley.

That did not deflect bullets. A lot of good it did for her to do so.

The people that care already do know..
The people that need to know could care less..

Quite simple really 2 seals were a fly in the ointment..
The ointment smelled so bad you could smell it in your browser(Firefox,Opera,MS-Exploder,Chrome)..
main stream media did not report it..

The internet stuffed the smell UP YOUR NOSE..
Most have soon bored of Bengazi.. greedy for the scandal of the day..

Yes I know O’Really reported it(with spin) but really O’really is a stealth liberal in RINO clothing..
ONLY RINOs care what O’Really has to say.. Bill has NO BALLS..

Could cost him ticket sales with the craven coward Dennis Miller..

Two Soviet Jews in front of the firing squad learn that they will be hanged instead (Hanged, not hung, dummy!)

“See,” says one to the other, “I told you they’d run out of bullets!”

There was a full video that got shown a few times on US cable before it was totally banned here. After that, all we got to see was the courtroom banter. You can probably find a few unedited versions of the grand finale on youtube.

Elena ran around in circles squawking like a chicken, with her hands over her head, while the firing squad was shooting her full of holes.

Nickolaus was a little more dignified in his posture, but he too was talking turkey to the executioners right up to his termination volley.

Arrogant, indignant, nose-in-the-air, condescending tyrants; properly dispatched like the rabid animals they were -- just like some we have seen on TV for the past few years.

What is known is that when people are pushed too far, they react.

The problem I see is that while this has been true over the centuries, America's in a unique position where the ruling government is not explicitly as well armed as the populace. Given that fact, I believe it's understood that disarming the populace would be the last straw for a majority of Americans.

Herein lies the problem. The government, the communists, the NWO people, they KNOW this is the case. As such, they simply have to insulate America. They pack us into a nice tight, bulletproof box, and when it comes down to it, they can go door-to-door to confiscate, and yes there will be life lost, there always is, but in general, people will comply.

Thereafter, when the populace is disarmed, the truly nefarious nature of the government's patience and planning will come to light as it's revealed we're all walled in nicely in our little communities and we aren't allowed out.

Welcome to the prison, comrades.

The WND author is barking up the wrong tree here. In 1989, Ceausescu would have been crushed in a real election. He had little popular support.

But Obama is still very popular with many people. Those lefties that are disappointed with him are just engaging in a lovers spat.

If the election of 2012 were replayed today, Obama would probably win again.

The USA isn't to this point.

Yet.

Obozo is a CRIMINAL. Benghazi will expose him for what he actually is.

I know there are blind useful idiots who support him. Most of them rely on government for their very existence, hence will never oppose him.

But no intelligent freedom lover will ever. NEVER.

Ceausescu was not shy about dictating.

Sadly, you're correct.

We've not had anyone to challenge the Democrats since Reagan. Bush I ran on Regan's coattails. Bush II won due to Dem ineptitude.
