Opportunity Knocking
---------------------------
I've got it...how Obama and the Libs get to build their Utopia without *ANY* opposition from Republicans whatsoever. It's simple, really, and they're doing it (laying the groundwork for it) right out in plain sight!
Obama is dismantling our national security apparatus that has demonstrably kept us safe here at home for eight years. There can only be one reasonable explanation for making our country less safe at this or any other time - that reason is that it suits the Liberals agenda for America to be viciously attacked. In fact, the more vicious, the more barbaric, the more heinous the attack, the more lives lost, the more people maimed and injured, the better the result for the Libs.
What result is that? Simple - unlimited (literally infinite) Presidential Emergency Powers. i.e Suspend the Constitution (if you can't beat 'em, just sidestep them!) (Case in point: the Senate majority's strategy for passing health care legislation).
With non-expiring Emergency Powers, not only can Obama impose martial law, he can persecute his political opposition into total ineffectiveness. Place members of Congress (Republican leadership, for example) under house arrest; declare them "enemies of the state" even; charge them with sedition and fomenting violence - even charge them as ringleaders of secret operations that carried out the attacks posing as Islamists (never mind that Islamic terrorists take credit for the attacks in the Islamic Press hours *before* the attacks). Never mind that the charges prove to be unfounded IN THE END and all are totally exonerated; the damage resulting from their absences will be complete within days, if not hours.
With unlimited Emergency Powers and with the Republicans frozen out of the process, anything, I mean ANYTHING AT ALL can and will be done in the name of national security (they don't have to PROVE ANYTHING). Legislation will be proposed, voted on in both houses, and signed into law within HOURS. The press will acquiesce, as they have from the beginning. Our country will be made over within a few short days of the now inevitable terror attacks. In addition, the damage done can never be undone. The Libs have been drafting the legislation since November - they are ready to move on a moment's notice. All they need to do is wait, and everything they want will fall into their laps.
Politically, it is brilliant. Realistically, of course, the Libs haven't thought it through. They assume, for example, that they will not be specifically targeted by our enemies. They assume that heroic Americans across the country will not step up and take decisive action to mitigate the situation(s), as we did aboard flight 93. They assume that we, the people, will not be prepared for these shenanigans. They assume that the Constitution can be nullified by Executive Order. They assume that America is infinitely resilient, that no amount of damage they do will kill the golden goose. They assume they can put Humpty Dumpty back together again. They assume much more besides.
Unfortunately, Republicans have their backs turned to the real threats we face. Republicans are busy arguing in good faith against the policy declarations from the Obama administration and Congressional leadership. Republicans are trying to engage the Liberals in honest debate, and the Libs are just stalling for time. They are stalling by throwing out more and more red herrings left and right to disorient the Republicans and the press, to keep them buzzing and to keep their eyes off the prize.
Thousands will die. You and I, our friends and family, all may be among the casualties. Republicans cannot imagine such a calculus and have no stomach for imagining it, much less defending against it. Libs cannot imagine letting such an opportunity go to waste.
I may be wrong, of course, but if so, then there is another reason to explain why Obama is painting a bullseye on America. And, if so, I challenge anyone to produce that line of reasoning.
