Could Obamunists 'postpone' election? ~ By Robert Ringer

Robert Ringer brings up a scenario that many people will find hard to believe that it could happen. But before you write it off as crazy talk, you should think about those "with an insatiable lust for power" who now run things in Washington, D.C. One of the ways to know when politicians have that lust for power is when you witness the "Stark" arrogance that abounds in our capitol:

THE BORDERS ARE SECURE proclaims Rep. Pete Stark at Town Hall - Who you gonna kill today?

As Robert says, we have to be relentless in watching for signs of losing our liberty. Much of what is on the news these days tends to take our attention away from what we need to be watching for. Whether that is intentional or not, there should be no doubt that many of the elected officials and unelected officials in the "Barackracy" would rather have you NOT paying attention to what is really going on, and not to be aware that more of our freedom is being eroded away. Just sayin'...

Which means it's up to you and me to do the job. We should not allow ourselves to become emotionally engrossed in oil spills, riots in Greece and foiled terrorist plots. Instead, it is imperative that we relentlessly focus on our loss of liberty. Any of these and a thousand-and-one other "crises" could be used as an excuse for BHO to invoke an Obomination Sedition Act, which, in turn, could be used as an excuse to "postpone" elections in 2010 or 2012 for "security reasons."

Warning: Be on the alert for one crisis after another between now and November – and take the time to study the facts about each of them carefully. Some will be trumped up; some will be real but overblown by both the government and the media. But none will be an honest justification for BHO's taking yet more freedoms away from Americans.

Don't allow yourself to become distracted by IMF and G20 riots, Joe Biden's custard outings or Al Gore's massages. Ignore most of the rubbish you see on television and stay focused on the real issue: our loss of freedom!

The gangster government now in control in our nation's capital is a grim and repugnant reminder that freedom, at best, is ephemeral. At worst, it's a myth. In fact, true freedom – like true capitalism – has never existed anywhere on this planet. Rest assured that those with an insatiable lust for power will never allow either to occur.

The boldest experiment in doing away with dictatorial government was the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and perhaps the most important words in that document are:

… whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. …

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

This was the way the Colonialists chose to tell their English rulers: "Enough! We hereby declare ourselves to be free." Unfortunately, from that point forward, the apparently uncontrollable urge of some of the revolutionists to govern their fellow Colonists led to the creation of another document – the Constitution – which, in turn, created that most dreaded of all human inventions: the nation-state.

Never mind that only a handful of men signed the Constitution. This was a new declaration, but not a declaration of independence. Rather, is was a declaration that proclaimed that all persons living within a certain geographical area were, in fact, not free … a declaration that proclaimed them to be bound by the United States Constitution.

Don't get me wrong. The Constitution is a brilliant document and, I believe, well-intended. With the exception of black slaves and Native Americans, it seems clear that most of the signers saw it as a document that would protect the rights and freedom of the inhabitants of the Colonies.

But human nature being what it is, a democracy or democratic republic is destined – through an "excess of democracy" – to move toward an all-powerful central government that tyrannizes its citizens. In their writing of the Constitution, the founders worked hard to protect against such an eventuality, but no document can be a foolproof deterrent to tyranny.

That quickly became evident when, after the Constitution went into effect in the summer of 1788, it took only a decade for Congress, under John Adams, to pass the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which made it a crime for anyone to criticize the government "through writing or any other shape, form, or fashion."

Specifically, criticizing the president, Congress, the military or the flag was made illegal. This by a group of men who themselves had escaped bondage only 22 years earlier!

It was an audacious move by the Federalist-controlled Congress to silence the Republicans, particularly regarding their support of the French Revolution. It was, of course, in direct violation of the Bill of Rights, which clearly states, in the First Amendment, that "Congress shall make no law … abridging freedom of speech, or of the press."

A little more than a hundred years after the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, Congress, at the urging of Scoundrel in Chief Woodrow Wilson, acted again and passed the U.S. Sedition Act of 1918. Among other things, the act made it a crime to "willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of government of the United States, or the Constitution of the United States, or the military or naval forces of the United States."

Segue to 2010. Led by the ultra-statist Cass Sunstein, the Criminal Corps in Washington is heating up talk about infiltrating "conspiracy groups" (read, tea parties) in an effort to undermine them. A conspiracy group is, of course, any group of people that consists of individuals who disagree with the socialist policies of the current administration.

Power has a corrupting influence on those who achieve it, which is why many honorable individuals decline to run for office. The very nature of a democratic republic makes it virtually impossible for a politician to adhere to the principles of true liberty and still manage to stay in office.
