“What if they held an election but America’s President said it didn’t count?”
We did, in November!
I just stumbled on this video from Conservative War Chest at FOX Nation and there’s only one word to describe it.
Brutal.
This spot goes after Obama, the Democratic Party and the liberal media. It perfectly captures the mood of conservative post-midterm America.
Check it out:
Here’s the description from Conservative War Chest:
Obama Putting at Risk “What’s Best About America”
(Washington, DC)—“As families gather to celebrate the American miracle, many are troubled and in disbelief this Thanksgiving because the President of the United States has “gone rogue” and is abetted by a compliant media,” Mike Flynn, spokesman of Conservative War Chest said announcing the new 2-minute television ad. “Just weeks ago, millions of Americans voted for a new direction in this country. Unfortunately, the President has chosen to slip the surly bonds of politics and ignore the voters,” Flynn added.
Well said.

You aren’t paranoid, if they really are after you, and you say so.
“What if they held an election but America’s President said it didn’t count?”
I’ll take hamburger B:
What if they held an American election and it didn’t count?
America’s Newtonian Constitution might again function according to Madisonian expectations if a provoked Congress regains its spine and self-respect, thereby returning our constitutional architecture to equipoise. But this is more to be hoped for than expected. Even without this, however, the institutional vandalism of Barack Obama’s executive unilateralism still might be a net national benefit. It will be if the Republicans’ 2016 presidential nominee responds to Obama’s serial provocations by promising a return to democratic etiquette grounded in presidential self-restraint.
—George Will
And THAT is certainly ONE…of many…ways Americans will push back.
Another is that we simply won’t stand for the lawlessness of this administration any longer.
And we won’t stand for the “same-ol'” BS in Congress, either. People were elected with expectations they would be active in fighting Barracula, and they by-gawd had better go about it with vigor and spine.
Reform…deep and real…is what we need, not merely the bolting back on of the wheels using the same stripped fasteners.
re:’Reform…deep and real…is what we need, not merely the bolting back on of the wheels using the same stripped fasteners.”
I totally agree with your eval that reform is desperately needed, but the process of a robust change may be encumbered by a horrible price. The philosophical and political corruption is so deep and wide…
Where are the armies of good men willing to stand up for this country? I don’t see them; I only see green shoots like the spring grass on the rocky hillsides, and very little of that. Violence is not wanted, but rather men of true character – unyielding in their affirmation of freedom and liberty for all. Violence is easy, virtue is hard.
I’ll recount a story from a few decades ago. I was addressing a group of very, very patriotic men, and I asked the question, “Who here would die for this nation?”. Virtually every man raised his hand. More, many of them were serving in uniform, and many more had served.
I next asked the question, “Who here would go to prison for this nation?” Very few hands went up, and that only after some hesitation.
I guess many of us are prepared to die in a great cause, remembered by our friends, family, and others.
Very few of us are prepared to suffer ignominy, stigma, and loss of status in the same great cause. Which is funny, when we consider how revered are our Founders who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
There are ways to fight very effectively that involve no violence, and have proven irresistible if supported adequately. But they involve defying the law, and exposing oneself to its full rigor in a notorious, open act. Some of us will, if we follow this method, be stigmatized and we will suffer losses. Our families would suffer.
And, if we have not considered this before now, we really must. “What are you prepared to do?”
“What are you prepared to do?”
When?
Whenever. Now. Tomorrow. When needed.
The desperation in the leftists is growing, and their power is growing. They have two years to do something with the new power Obama has grabbed. As the 2016 election draws near and if they sense their power peaking, and determine that the election will be a setback lasting many years in which they will fade, they might grab for the brass ring. I declared a few years ago on another forum that if Obama allows the election, he will win.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
He could allow an opportune crisis to simmer until the boiling point just before elections, declare martial law, clamp down on civil society with his huge DHS army, suspend elections, and promise an eventual return to normal. A new normal. His normal.
I’m buying more ammo.
Good! Never a bad idea. But what ELSE are you doing? Say you never need that ammo for the purpose you are anxious about? What other ammo are you prepared with?
We have seen the Left ignore this election. In its wake the Emperor Benito Hussein Obama has directly usurped, among other things, Congress’s powers under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Further, in his Decree on Amnesty, he promised that criminals would be removed, and that the newly legal would not have access to government benefits. Within 24 hours, DHS said that they would not deport invaders who are criminals, and in the last couple of days the regime’s various agencies have said that they would get Social Security, Medicare, and that “no one will check on their status if they sign up” for Obamacare. I’d say we are well on the way to a formal dictatorship. Just in the mendacity phase, and not yet the jackboot phase.
If we have elections in 2016, as George Will says we will; what basis is there to believe that the Left will not ignore or over-ride it?
Subotai Bahadur
“…what basis is there to believe that the Left will not ignore or over-ride it?”
Oh, I think that is a VERY remote possibility.
First, let’s get real; Barracula is not “ignoring an election”. He has chosen to defy the political will…again. This isn’t the first time. And every time, he’s paid a price. One apparently he’s weighed in the balances and found worth the fare. He’s lost both houses of Congress, and he’s lost consistently in the courts, though not nearly enough and in the really big issues. That could change, BTW, with the Supremes essentially killing ObamaDoggle.
Second, the Collective is a small fraction of America. True, they DO exert a disproportionate influence via the culture, but that, too, is waning. And the “blue model” is proving unworkable and losing support every day. People are not supportive of Obama, his ideas, his ways, or his results. Even those who are are not physically brave, or willing to risk their immense fortunes in an open rebellion.
Third, were there to be a open coup as your post implies, there is a very powerful force in America’s military and in her civil police that would simply not put up with it, along with a very well armed populace. Daft as Barracula may be, he’s not willing to expose himself to that kind of physical risk, or that kind of historical infamy.
That is simply NOT how these people operate. Fabian Collectivism has been far too successful for them to take the risks inherent in a more “robust” route.
“Barracula”…perfect, priceless.
More likely they steal the election through vote fraud than ignore it.
“Congress regains its spine and self-respect…” No, congress needs to regain its moral direction. Congress will fight when it benefits them, they are not spineless they are amoral
Amoral (āˈmôrəl) adjective lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something. synonyms:unprincipled, without standards, without morals, without scruples, unscrupulous, Machiavellian, unethical.
Holy ___!! What an awesome ad. Ads like those could have delivered the New Hampshire and Virginia seats, if not more, in the Senate into the Republican column.
Spineless GOP pols won’t lift a finger to consolidate the implied election “victory.”
That ad is WAY to complex to reach the people we need it to reach.
HINT: The people who understand it and already agree should not be the target audience.
Oh, and to nutshell…
Thunk Progressives LIED.
They knew they LIED, which makes them (aaaaaagain…) LIARS.
The quote by Justice Scalia has NOTHING to do with a state court in Missouri.
So…bidness as usual from the moonbattery.
Whether our idiot president thinks it “counts” is irrelevant.
What is relevant is whether the corrupt bozos hogging the leadership positions of the GOP understand they were elected as a bulwark against tyranny the Founding Fathers envisioned, and made provisions for by creating a separation of powers.
The problem now isn’t Obama. That’s old news. The problem now is the GOP leadership. They are a greedy, talentless, craven, and institutionally — if not individually — corrupt bunch.
Solve the GOP problem, and the damage done and threat presented by a traitor calling himself ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ will countered.
