@182. Sulaco2:

I’m pretty confident that Obama will serve two full terms, and that the US will be in much better shape at the end of that period than it was at the beginning.

Your concerns about legitimate elections are charming – given that the GOP has spent so much time working to disenfranchise American citizens. If the Democrats had any intention of overthrowing the electoral process, they would have done so in 2000 – but the GOP had already positioned itself to do so first, and the SCOTUS sealed the deal.

Worries about civil war and ultimate and endless power are overblown. Your hope is answered – you are just being paranoid. The members of our military do not detest Obama – and your assertion that they do is based on your own preconceptions. Obama is the best defender of the Constitution to serve as President in some time – he provides no pretext for any military defectors.

If you are worried about purges of people loyal to their oaths, you are a little late – this was a significant problem under the previous administration which seems to have abated under Obama, who appreciates the true meaning of these oaths.

Me thinks we live in times of “Suckage” to quote my favorite author.

Thank a Bush voter.

Peace.

My over riding concern is not that The O and his party can do so much damage to the U.S. in four years, (which is all they have), that can not be remedied but that their sense of entitlement, and visceral need for raw power is so strong that there is in their minds no possible way they can be deposed of the power they now hold. (See Cuba) Any election that boots them from office in whole, will in their eyes be “illegitimate” and can (could be) ignored with calls for “fresh” elections none ending. That was what groups like ACORN were supposed to prevent, elections where democrats lost by stacking the voters deck. Add the open support of dictatorships around the world and ??

For the first time in my nearly sixty years I believe this is a real concern for the future of this country. Such actions by Dear Leader would of course bring on a devastating “civil” war that would leave the country broken. Additionally O may see such civil war, as a means to an end. Ultimate and endless power. I hope I am just being paranoid and I realize the problems such a conflict would entail. O’s hold on the military and police is a result of their allegiance to their oaths of service. Most members detest him on a personal and political level. Still the beginnings of such a conflict would truly test the security forces allegiance; to one man, Dear Leader or the country as established by the founders. Give the Dems eight years while bringing “purges” of people loyal to their oaths and I do not have a strong faith in such a contest outcome being the continuance of a free nation.

@179. Ron Kean:

I do wish you well and hope you have peace.

Likewise. Take good care of yourself.

I just don’t have the patience to go around the block with you one more time.

I’m disappointed. I was really hoping you might be willing to defend VDH. On the other hand, I respect you for knowing when to quit. ‘Til next time…

Peace.

177: Then don’t mention it.
Obama needs to watch his back. Like Caesar, it’s the “handlers” not the populi.

Rasmussen isues a daily presidential tracking poll which tracks the approval index – obtained by comparing the number of those who Strongly Approve of the president’s performance against those who Strongly Disapprove. Obama’s been in negative territory since June. The following chart shows the numbers, as well as overall approval ratings, since Obama’s inauguration.

Mr Hanson….with your talk of Nemesis , you don’t seem to grasp how serious Barry Dunham will recieve the punishment of pride , arrogance ,vanity and narcissism
This poor clueless poseur and fool will , i suspect , be a victim of the recuring evil lietmotif of American history…the crime that dare not speak it’s name….

A lone gunman ,with a handgun , in the crowd is very difficult to stop…Hinkley , Sirhan Sirhan or that maniac who got Mckinley…..it could happen !

Very nicely done, Professor. Very nicely indeed.

Guarding against hubris, and repenting of ate, are the prophylactic measures of a responsible moral conscience against visits from Nemesis. I fear, though, that this proposition is not even recognizable to the Obama contingent. Hailing Nemesis on the horizon, they would offer to send her to the studio for an Oprah makeover, to learn to live her best life.
