I am alarmed at the speed at which the left is working to consolodate all poweer and secure all elements of this country. They are moving fast and in multi directions.

It's a coup d'tat. Forewarned is forearmed.

Hitler did the same exact thing. People wonder why the Germans didn’t do more to stop him: They didn’t have the time. Within a couple of months, opposition parties were shut down and all weapons confiscated.

This will go nowhere. Especially with 17+ States wanting or considering reestablishment of “States Rights”.

...an amendment would have to be ratified by 2/3rds of the states before it could take effect

Would that apply to a repeal also?

He might have won the last election due to fraud. I hope and pray that the democrats pay dearly for their disgusting arrogance. They are the scum of the earth.

Might as well; Constitution’s moot anyway. And the GOP is led by jellyfish. The only question is how far will they let these tyrants go before they pack their bags and run?

I do not think you can get 2/3rds of the states to agree on anything.

I hope I am right.

Remember that census thingy. I bet that plays into this somehow.

I take Reagan anyday, and he’s been dead for 4 years..even as a corpse he’d be better than Obama.

“No joke. I am alarmed at the speed at which the left is working to consolodate all poweer and secure all elements of this country. They are moving fast and in multi directions.

The census

Fairness doctrine

Repeal of the 22nd Amendment

Putting the US under the International Court

Wanting to try Don Rumsfeld”

The only good news about the Rats trying to push all this junk through, especially with the Porkulus with no time given for anyone to even read the Bill, is that they are just too greedy and will not know when to stop. This is obviously pissing people like us off, but is also getting the attention of some that I know who voted for Zero. Their greed will hopefully prompt more people to act in opposition much sooner than they would have if the Rats had not acted so arrogantly and blatantly partisan.

Don’t be so sure. In desperate times, heroes emerge. We may not know them that well now but we didn’t know Obama a couple of years ago. Bonner, Canter, Steele, Palin, Huckabee, Romney, Jindhal and even Paul are names to watch now and more will come.
