Obama’s socialist designs
Washington Times ^ | June 21, 2012 | Jeffrey Kuhner

Posted on 06/22/2012 3:57:08 PM PDT by Art in Idaho

President Obama is gradually transforming America into a socialist authoritarian state. This is the real meaning of his recent decision to grant backdoor amnesty to young illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama is behaving like a Latin American strongman, who asserts arbitrary power and ignores the rule of law. He is assaulting the very pillars of our constitutional republic.

Last week, the administration announced that it will stop deporting young illegal aliens. The policy shift affects as many as 800,000 illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama’s order lifts the fear of deportation. It also grants them work permits. Mr. Obama has waved his magic wand and converted the immigration status of countless aliens, flipping them from illegal to legal residents.

The order applies to those who entered America before the age of 16 and are younger than 30, who have been living here for at least five years, have no violent criminal background, possess a U.S. high school diploma or have served in the military. The policy change is a blatant attempt to bribe the Hispanic vote prior to the November election - a key constituency Mr. Obama must win.

Yet, the order is more than crass partisan politics. It is an ominous usurpation of centralized power - a naked attempt to entrench an imperial presidency. Mr. Obama lacks the legal authority to grant amnesty. He is not a monarch or tyrant with unlimited discretionary authority. Rather, he is confined by our constitutional system of the separation of powers and checks and balances. The Constitution is crystal-clear: Congress has the sole power to craft immigration policy. Mr. Obama’s actions are flagrantly anti-democratic.

1.2 million given amnesty. Where is the outrage?

Obama picked early on to destroy the American Nation. He is well on his way. It is up to us. Our Sacred Republic will not survive an Obama second term. We, the Band of Brothers and Sisters shall continue to expose Obama. Charge!

” Our Sacred Republic will not survive an Obama second term.

Obama will become a dictator-in-fact given another term.

” It has one overarching, central theme: Mr. Obama is a radical leftist carrying out a Venezuela-style revolution. Mr. Savage calls the president a “fiscal Marxist” and a “new Hugo Chavez” determined to dismantle American capitalism and constitutional democracy. Mr. Savage discusses almost every one of Mr. Obama’s power grabs - Obamacare, the Dodd-Frank financial reform, the de facto nationalization of General Motors and Chrysler, the drive to create a “green economy” through administrative fiat, the numerous policy “czars” who have Cabinet-level powers but no accountability or congressional oversight, the National Defense Authorization Act, which enables the president to detain any U.S. citizen indefinitely under suspicion of being a “terrorist,” the push to censor the Internet, the illegal war in Libya, the massive expansion of government through out-of-control spending and record deficits, and the administration’s criminal involvement in gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels.”

Not a complete list.

I agree. A lot there, but a complete list would be volumes. I know I say this a lot, but 'there's so much data' on Obama. What about all the data do Americans not get? Keep spreading the word. .

Way to go samtheman! It's a great article. Sometimes I wonder what the rebuttal would be in a formal debate with all of the Obama data? What could they say? It's all there, and all bad. . Spread the word. .

Obama might get an “offer he can’t refuse” and pull out.

“President Obama is gradually transforming America into a socialist authoritarian state.”

Let’s not assign too much power to these pigs. In the LA riots, the cops hopped in their squads and drove home. At Waco, the ATF nazis surrendered to the women and children 10 minutes into the firefight. At Columbine, the heroes crawled behind lampposts and barriers to allow the shooters enough time to kill more students. And recently, at Stanford,Florida, the dirty hippies marched for Trayon and the cops abandoned their post.

Buckwheat ain’t transforming crap until he can find a good number of fools to die on a hilltop for the glory of obuma. From all evidence, when the SHTF, obuma will see his naked ass hanging out the window, ready to be sliced off.

There are still lots of people unaware that the RNC/DNC has carefully picked Romney for the position of designated loser.
The Fabian socialists have a plan and agenda reaching out fifty to one hundred , even one hundred and fifty years resulting in the destruction of this nation and formation of their socialist utopia. Revolutionary communists want the same utopia and they want it NOW. They would be happy with lining people up and shooting them to bring about that utopia.
The Fabians will lay back and put up with the rape this nation will suffer at the hands of the revolutionary communists if it means getting their utopia sooner with their hands clean. As a side note; The Fabians apparently never study history because at that point the revolutionaries always murder the Fabians.
Romney, the Fabian, will take one for the team and throw the election to Obama, the revolutionary communist.

That may be true, but with Obama at -22 today, I hope We the People have the final say.

Obama must go, one way or the other.

[Article] Mr. Obama is behaving like a Latin American strongman, who asserts arbitrary power and ignores the rule of law.

The term of art that German historian Oswald Spengler used in Decline of the West was "Caesarism".

"Caesarism" was a hugely important inflection-point, for Spengler, the in the life-cycle of a civilization. It's the point at which all the vital, living cultural and political "organs" and impulses, all the civilization's sources of creativity, ingenuity, and eventually just plain talent shrivel and die as the "ruling class" dispenses with law and custom and refounds the society on propositions of naked force, despotism, and violence.

Interesting concept. It's happening, especially ". . all the civilization's sources of creativity, ingenuity, and eventually just plain talent shrivel and die. . " After defeating Obama, Americans still has a lot of work to do if we are to survive. One wonders what Spengler, were he alive, would think of our situation in America today. . .
