We’re all too familiar with the pattern by now: His exultancy, the maximum Dear leader Obama the second, ruler of all and master of no responsibility will decree some outrageous and illegal act. This will be followed by the surrender monkeys of the GOPe almost getting into fist fights in a mad dash to be first to solemnly announce that once again, Impeachment is ‘off the table’.
And just as with any other rule breaking, the psychological science of operant conditioning applies. The result is an increase of a behavior that is rewarded and less for which is punished. Were the police to declare that arresting people for bank robbery is ‘off the table’… Katie bar the door of every bank in town, because there will be line of people stretching around the block waiting to rob the place.
Obama and other dictators of the past have done this because they’ve learned that there are no consequences to their early acts. And when people finally do wake up to the danger and try to impose consequences it’s too late, because the exalted leader will have too much power. Such as the people being for their political views cough IRS Cough or being under constant surveillance.. but that won’t happen here, right?
The slowly boiled frog’s goose is cooked (Please pardon my use of mixed metaphors)
So what will finally witness the GOPe changing their tune and finally take impeachment action? What will make them do a 180?
This issue was discussed on Rush as of late – and the basic contention was that the Constitution is based on the honor system. But what happens when you have a President who doesn’t have any honor? What happens when you have a president who doesn’t care for the country and would love to see it trashed?
The man is perfectly willing to steal from the taxpayers to buy votes, and please note that we were warned of this back at the nation’s founding:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.”
Alexander Tytler
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money”. Alexis de Tocqueville
Consider that his excellency’s approval rating is 50% now that he’s talking about all the goodies he’s going to hand out?
Tyrants of the past have done the very same thing:
Fire sale TVs and Chavez-style theatrics heat up Venezuela vote November 21, 2013
http://news.yahoo.com/fire-sale-tvs-chavez-style-theatrics-heat-venezuela-131959081.html
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is firing up supporters for the upcoming mayors’ election through a theatrical confrontation with businesses that has showered voters with cheap consumer goods, echoing the style of late socialist leader Hugo Chavez.Venezuelans are flooding shops to snatch up discounted car parts, televisions and clothes since Maduro ordered businesses to slash prices in a gambit similar to the oil-financed pre-election largesse of the Chavez era, but with private merchants footing the bill.
New Holocaust Book, New Theory: How Germans Fell for the ‘Feel-Good’ Fuehrer
http://www.spiegel.de/international/new-holocaust-book-new-theory-how-germans-fell-for-the-feel-good-fuehrer-a-347726.html
A well-respected German historian has a radical new theory to explain a nagging question: Why did average Germans so heartily support the Nazis and Third Reich? Hitler, says Goetz Aly, was a “feel good dictator,” a leader who not only made Germans feel important, but also made sure they were well cared-for by the state.To do so, he gave them huge tax breaks and introduced social benefits that even today anchor the society. He also ensured that even in the last days of the war not a single German went hungry. Financing such home front “happiness” was not simple and Hitler essentially achieved it by robbing and murdering others, Aly claims. Jews. Slave laborers. Conquered lands. All offered tremendous opportunities for plunder, and the Nazis exploited it fully, he says.
Hitler and the socialist dream
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html He declared that ‘national socialism was based on Marx’ Socialists have always disowned him. But a new book insists that he was, at heart, a left-winger
One can only imagine the plots and schemes of Dear Liar has in store for the nation – but let’s speculate to be in a sense forewarned and prepared.
1. More illegal executive order decrees on the invasion of illegals – let’s face it, the GOPe blew this big time – and many say On purpose to get some cheap labor for their donor class.
Expect more of the same now that Barack the illegitimate has set the precedent at 5 million – how many more will it be? 10, 20 million more? [How many more will the Communists need to tip the balance of power permanently to them?]
2. By the same token, those invaders aren’t much help to the nation’s socialist on the left IF they can’t vote for that sweet honey of taxpayer mola flowing from D.C
So, expect him to grant de facto citizenship to the criminal invaders, along will all kinds of goodies for the sake of ‘fairness’
3. And executive order essentially repealing parts or all of the Constitution – yeah sure, it sound outrageous now, but so did illegal executive amnesty a few months back.
And let’s be realistic, what to stop his highness from getting rid of the 2nd amendment by executive decree along with the 22nd amendment? [A 2 for 2 special, hey!]
By the same token, what’s to stop him from simply canceling elections?
This idea has been floated several times already – so given the right crisis and a compliant congress who’s to stop him?
What else will he do?
Posted this on another thread earlier this morning. I think it applies here:
The liberal elite will NOT allow the “First Black President” to be anything but a complete success, even if it demands the daily alteration of reality itself.
At some point the Dems will have to come on board when they realize that is the only way to save their party and save the country - in that order.
The liberal elite will NOT allow the “First Black President” to be anything but a complete success, even if it demands the daily alteration of reality itself.
Yes, there is a lot of truth to that point.
And they are doing that as we speak – and have been doing it for the past few years – but at some point reality has a way of becoming… well real.. and it no longer can be ignored.
The USSR tried the same thing for years, but eventually it collapsed from within.. hopefully it won’t take 70 years..
The people - as is usually the case.
There is a silent majority that is seething over what has taken place.
“Do you want President Biden?”
Yes.
Forget about Obama’s impeachment.
He will crown himself emperor in front of the SCOTUS and Congress, after which he will crown Moochelle Empress and will demand that the two branches of government swear allegiance to him and they will all comply and then he will reign, er rain on their parade.
I have heard that argument ad-nauseum but it really doesn't hold water. If Adolf Hitler was deposed in say 1937 or so and and replaced by say Von Ribbentrop or Keitel, there is little doubt history would have been quite different since AH himself, and his extreme views were the driving force behind the Nazi movement. He was the head of the snake, and without that cult of personality, the movement loses steam. Now back to Biden: he's an old fool reading his lines. He isn't charismatic, and other than government perks, would probably just assume retire and spend time with his grandkids. Obama however is a completely different animal, just like AH mentioned above, and the concerns regarding the replacement of Obama with Biden are like not driving to work because you might squash an insect on the way.
Well said!
The 2012 election should confirm in everyone’s mind that we’re talking a cult of personality with His majesty the Dear Leader.
That cult will be broken if Obama is removed – witness that Biden is not the ‘front runner’ for 2016.
Even if Biden were to take over, that would be a far better fate than Obama destroying the country.
That’s not going to happen – for all it’s faults this isn’t a 3rd world banana republic – although Obama would like to think it this way.
No, he know he has to follow a fine line with the outward pretense of abiding the Constitution or else the whole thing falls apart.
He has to have his party behind him for the time being – and at some they will realize what he is doing is going destroy the DNC in the process [example: the NAZI party is outlawed in Germany]
No matter what he’s done for them, at some point the Democratic National Communist party will have to turn on him to preserve their power. Obama doesn’t care if he trashes the DNC, he’s got bigger plans in trashing the country.
Even further on, his basic authority over the military is vested in the Constitution – if that’s is clearly gone by his pen and phone, that authority waves ‘bye-bye’ and he can’t risk that.
I’m not so sure about that “silent majority”. The guy isn’t much worse than he was 4 or 8 years ago and he was elected easily both times.
Maybe there is a “comatose majority” or something.
Part of the problem is that we let the media choose our candidate for us.
Millions stayed home because of it.
At some point the GOPe is going to have to get off their derrieres and take the risk of being called Racist!
The founding fathers risked a lot more that those slugs can even conceive of.
Obama impeached? While a LYNCH MOB is running the Dept of “Just Us!”? Ha-ha! Who would DARE to impeach the Sunni Muslim who BOWS to our Masters in the Middle East?
“Couldn’t be further from Selma and what Americans know to be black. But he still counts, and therefore will never be impeached. Ever. Never. For ANY reason you can imagine.”
I have heard some supposed constitutional lawyers say it would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL to impeach a black. Disparate impact, they say. Motivated only by white haters.
“That’s not going to happen – for all it’s faults this isn’t a 3rd world banana republic....”
.
What I described did not happen in a third world banana republic — it happened in France with Napoleon Bony Part and his wife Josephine.
Yes, this is true.
I guess he wouldn’t do exactly that, but he may do the equivalent.
I won’t put much past him and his ilk – it just would be nice if we had an opposition party to stop him.
President John Bohner? I wouldn’t mind since he won’t be Speaker then...
I was being funny ...
If it was a choice between those two I’d take Biden, too.
Truthfully, if that means having an impeached Muslim, me too.
