Our family is German, Irish and French (my last name being French). One of our relatives from the German part of my family, in a shirt tail kind of way (3rd cousin) was raised in Hitler’s Germany. I remember her vaguely from my youth. She was indoctrinated while young into the Hitler regime’s way of life. Some of that type of indoctrination is happening right here in the U.S. Obviously not to as great an extreme as in Hitler’s Germany, but the beginning and buildup of fascism in this country IS the same, and who knows, as it was in Germany, where it might lead.
The constant erosion of our freedoms, subsumed to the alleged greater good and the machinery of the centralized State. Sound familiar? You are being confronted with an example of it this very moment, Obamacare. We are teetering on a fascist state, and like the frog in the pot being brought to a small but continuous boil, incrementally our freedoms are being chiseled away at, chink by small chink. So many low information citizens of our great country don’t even notice it as each incremental step towards fascism takes place.
It was never meant to be this way, not in OUR great country, as delineated by our forefathers for us in their great wisdom. We were to be free of the shackles that bound so many old, decaying European socialist states. Not us, not the USA. Well, look around you folks, and see how rapidly your way of life can be transformed by one malevolent regime masking themselves behind the mantra of the greater good. Once you were free. What are we now and where are we going, and to what end? The constant erosion of those very freedoms our forefathers fought for to make and keep us free, drip by drip is disappearing.
It may already be too late, the demographics have changed, more and more people with less and less interest in our communal way of life, the life of an American citizen, that which made us homogeneous, that gave us our American character. Now we are balkanized and pitted against one another: race against race, rich against poor, neighbor against neighbor, children against parents. Our middle class is disappearing.
Crony capitalism reigns supreme, just like it did in Hitler’s Germany. Our corporate heads and banks are being controlled by threats, fines, and intimidation. Note how the financial CEO’s of our banks were all frog marched to the White House a couple of days ago to be informed of the propagandist line they were expected to toe regarding our current governmental crisis. This by a man who claimed he would bring us all together.
How he gets away with this? By being our “first black President”, and thus virtually impregnable to attack in our PC society, totally ignoring the fact that he is actually brown (as in brownshirts) and red (as in socialist). His color isn’t black, it is brown and red. Anyone who knows anything about his background knows he is steeped in communist philosophy, redistribution of wealth by force of law, a follower of the manifesto of Saul Alinsky on how to fundamentally change a society from a free and individualistic one as it was founded, into a socialistic one, alien to the very foundational belief system of our great country.
It may, as it was in Germany not that long ago, already be too late. The fascist state builds. Let’s hope it goes no further, and thank goodness for the Ted Cruz and Rand Paul’s of the world, those who see the big picture, do not like it and rail against it. We need to all back them now and those that stand with them. They are our Paul Revere’s, Thomas Paine’s, our town criers warning of impending dangers.
Obamacare, another Great Society program following in the footsteps of those created by former socialistic leaders such as Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson, seeks a Utopian society and the great leveling of the masses to the lowest common denominator. That is combined with the tyranny of the minority over that of the majority. That is what we are living with today. The die is cast, and our very country and way of life is at stake.
Every damn one. Congress has no power to stop him. Can't even impeach our dictator. By the way, miss Romney yet?
It not a reason to make back room deals that benefit yourself either Boner.
[a snip] "..... Reports that Boehner could lean heavily on Democrats had unnerved some conservative Republicans who have often battled their Speaker, but GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp (Kan.) left the meeting on Friday saying his conference was “incredibly unified.”
The Speaker’s message to the rank-and-file, according to a lawmaker in the room, was to “just relax” about any stories that he might buck conservatives and strike the sort of deal that would leave many of them unhappy.
“I was opposed to shutting the government down -- that's no secret,” Boehner told the conference. “I'm opposed to defaulting on the debt -- that's no secret.”
Following the meeting, it seemed that Boehner’s message had helped rally both conservatives and more centrist parts of the GOP conference to his side.
Huelskamp, who lost his committee assignments for not voting with this party, said the GOP is “more unified since I've been here in 2 years and 9 months.”.....................
Romney? LOL. Romney doesn’t seem to miss not being POTUS. He won the first debate and then gave the election away using the same tip toe strategy the cryer and mumbles are using now. All losers, support them to more losses if you wish.
I’d put the over/under somewhere around the 17th of October.

Actually, I like that answer. The public needs to know this is serious business and he considers it so.
Yes it was a good statement but the problem is Boehner walked away rather than rebut the outrageous statements the kenyan made yesterday. Boehner needs to put team kenya on notice that the House views it’s constitutional powers seriously. He needs to state plainly that any attempt at an end run around the House like a debt cieling busting EO will be a nuclear event.
I am guessing some czar in the white hut is telling Obama to keep his mouth shut and just say no. Obama is playing a game.he just doesn’t have a clue what game he is playing.
Better he is on the golf course.
No one is going to buy debt that is under the threat of constitutional lawsuit.
Just keep the martini IV needle in his arm.
Agreed. He got a sequester, he protected us from a tax hike, he blocked gun control, now he's standing for a shutdown.
I don't think he deserves the criticism he gets from those who destroy their own.
I think what the Tea Party folks have been going through has finally dawned on Boehner now that he is the new favorite target - which he is dealing with quite well.
The battle cry of the Tea Party is that we demand our place at the table and to be heard. Boehner now knows what it is like to make that demand and have it fall on deaf ears.
You're watching a man have an epiphany here and as such, I think we might actually be seeing a real leader being born.
I’m tired of Boehner’ one min speeches that get NOTHING done.
