They treat half of America in this fashion because they are confident that they will use America’s own desire for peace and the Constitution to make slaves out of you all while tearing apart the US Constitution getting in their way.

And people let them do exactly as they wish on this matter.

“Mr. Obama has repeatedly offered what he considered compromises on stimulus spending, health care and deficit reduction to Republicans, who either rejected them as inadequate or pocketed them and insisted on more.”

I re-read that and my jaw dropped open. I have yet to find any “compromise” that Obama offered on ANY of those matters, yet the NY Times acts as if this is a FACT. The editor let that statement go by without a qualification such as “the White House feels that…”.

We are at war with the press.

MSNBC’s prime time line-up was spotted entering the West Wing Tuesday afternoon for what host Ed Schultz tweeted was a meeting with President Barack Obama.

There.

Great piece. BUT: there was one word the 60 Minutes folks NEVER MENTIONED: Just guess.

I watched the whole f***ing thing, and not ONCE did they mention that NK is a COMMUNIST dictatorship. NOT ONCE.

Welcome to Prison Planet.

Yeah, I left out The Den of Thieves on Turtle Bay.

When we have a president who is more American than UN, we’re at least okay. But with Owebama, I wouldn’t be surprised to see blue helmets running around this country in the not so distant future — with full arrest powers. And, of course, Owebama selling out America to UN jurisdiction on a vast number of topics, including that gun control bullshyt for which the UN is always pushing. (Who needs the Senate to pass a treaty?) Tyrants hate prols and bourgeoisie with guns. Too much competition. Besides, our betters know, well, better. Aaack!

No argument with the examples you mention and there are even more that can be cited. Congress Is Looting Federal Worker, Military Retirement Funds and income equalization via a massive redistribution of suburban tax money to the cities

What you describe however is not communism per se but approaching the precipice of complete selective enforcement of the law, which is as you point out, de facto tyranny and the increasing abandonment of the rule of law for the rule of men.

Tyranny, no matter how cruel is more inclusive of various configurations than merely communism.

In many respects we are already a socialistic society.

We are being forced through legislation, academic indoctrination and media manipulation of popular culture into ‘evolving’ into a deeper socialism that shall in time lead to either the tyranny of dictatorship or the perhaps more likely tyranny of an acceptably ‘soft’ communism.

The tactics you cite are some of the methodologies being employed, though there are other fronts in this cultural war, such as efforts in the UN, to through international treaties, abridge the first and second amendments, create global taxes, taxes on carbon, etc.

There are efforts underway in the UN to regulate the internet. That proposed legislation is a dagger aimed at free speech and the right. Control the flow of communication and information and you effectively control the populace by obstructing organization and awareness.

Then there is the movement among leftist American justices to use legal ‘precedents’ from the International Court to supersede the US Constitution…

We are indeed much closer to the possibility of hard tyranny than the uninformed public realizes. Though its problematic that many would care as long as the entitlements continue and increase.

I believe that Obama’s strategy in the coming fiscal cliff debacle is to set up regaining the congressional majority in 2014 that he had in 2008-2009. If he succeeds, he will not waste the opportunity again and we will move much closer to completing America’s evolution into a fully socialistic model.

However, it will take the ‘opportunity of crisis’ that a fiscal collapse brings, to provide the political cover needed, to initiate the fundamental transformation of America from a fully socialistic society into the Marxist model that Obama not-so-secretly desires.

My comment was intended to refer to the original wealth creating generation. There is no special first generation estate tax credit for those who created the wealth to pass it on (if you created it, shouldn’t you have the right to give it to whom you choose without being taxed on that right?). All generational transfers, first generation through nth generation are taxed the same. But you are correct, I did not clarify that point.

As for your question, Foxmarks is a commentor who appears on this site who, during the run up to November 6th, indicated support for Ron Paul and justified said vote by noting we’re going over the fiscal cliff anyway, might as well do it now and get it over with.

The inheritors of wealth may or may not have been instrumental in the formation of that inherited wealth, thus I labeled it their good fortune. We cannot pick our parents, thus inheritance is generally an ‘accident’ of birth.

I am unfamiliar with the commentator Foxmarks and thus the approach that he has been advocating…

How is it relevant?
