CLOSET DICTATORS

Leftist Democrats often behave like petty dictators caricatured in comic books.  Democrats cannot stand lawful dissent or genuine legal opposition to their policies.  They are so out of touch with the lot of Americans at the ground level that they imagine conspiracies from the upper echelon of the Republican Party - by accusing Republicans of having orchestrated such groundswell, massive, grassroots opposition to President Obama's "health-Scarce" and "E-Con-manic" policies.  From Washington DC's Obama "Chicago machine-style" politics, every thing appears to be a "con job" in the mass media and on the Internet.  For when there is no provable consent from the American people for alleged legislative agendas, Democrats in Washington DC are only assuming they have legitimacy for implementing them, while pretending they can ignore the will of the American people. 

Leftist, socialist-leaning Democrats fantasize unanimous agreement while courting and dispensing socialist thought "with an American flavor" against which they expected there would be no opposition.  That is naïve and cynical.  Democrats are showing contempt for democratic structures and constitutional due process of law as enshrined and guaranteed in the First Amendment.  They fancy they had it "in the bag" with their grandstanding "wordsmith" tactics by which they would "sweep the world off its feet" with feats of oratory.  Remember Goebels in the Third Reich!  How about George Orwell's "1984!"   Feats of mass media oratory, alone, are not sufficient to win governing consent from the American people.  In Obama's camp, all "foot soldiers" or rather "mass media soldiers" are still on campaigning alert that espouses a defensive mode in all directions, even though, they already won the election in 2008. 

We remember the socialist left during the Vietnam War - actress Jane Fonda even rode a tank with North Vietnamese soldiers by her side - all in the name of "war protestor." 

Democrats harbor many illusions of ill-gotten power.  Democrats fancy there is some Goebellian secret to manipulating the masses into a frenzied mob or into silent sheep that will only rubber stamp Obama's wishes.  It looks like as if when Obama and his cohorts cannot stir the masses into a heap of "baba sheep," they start demonizing the Republicans as well as disrespecting the integrity of democratic institutions and First Amendment inalienable rights of the People to protest, demonstrate against and petition Government for redress of grievances.  "Tea parties," demonstrations, peaceful protest, and peaceable assembly are as American as apple pie and baseball.

Many of us have always considered the possibility that Democrats are "closet dictators" who lash out in rage when they cannot lawfully "get their way."  They have a tendency to rattle the words of representative government while at the same time practicing contempt towards people who live the spirit and letter of truly free government by their actions.  That attitude is very cynical and worse, unrealistic, all at the same time.   Democrats live in a world of fantasy if they expect Obama to be the "first magician" in the White House; for, the fact of the matter is, Obama is no different from any other President in the United States of America whose ideas of governance are not necessarily accepted by all Americans.  Confidence to govern is consent-based and cannot be imposed from above. 

There are no "baba sheep" or frenzied mobs here to give them such "total confidence."  "Confidence" is utilized in parliamentary systems whereby the government or current administration is dissolved and new elections are called.  But in our system of representative government, the President is elected for a fixed term of four years.   Here, politicians have to earn "confidence" from our lawfully given consent.  "Confidence" appears to psychologically matter to Obama and his staff in a manner not amenable to immediate vote getting - at least not until 2012 when Obama may seek a second term.  It is as if they expected Obama to become the first "knight on a white horse" wooing and cajoling masses of people into kow-towing acceptance of every thought spewed forth out of Washington DC.  The next presidential election is not until 2012.  Now, then, it is Obama's and the Democrats' leftist legislative agenda that they covet "confidence" for.  Rightly so, Americans are provably demonstrating they do not consent to it.

In short, our inalienable rights to peaceable dissent, protest, demonstration, opposition and assembly are already constitutionally guarantied and secure.  We have no kings or nobles here - all politicians are subject to lawful dissent, legal opposition as well as to the much-dreaded opportunity to be "booted out of office," comes the next election.  And this outcome, Democrats fear the most, hence, their illicit approach to maintaining "the people's confidence" in their attempts to shove socialist thought down their throats.  It appears that Americans are voting early - they do not consent to Obama's agenda, and this is not a conspiracy.  It's open dissent, in the good old American Way!

Wake-up, Democrats!  This is the United States of America.  We have the God-given inalienable constitutional right to not only disagree with and oppose Obama's socialist meanderings but also your attempts to implement them in this nation without the lawful consent of the American people.  There!  And that's the gist of it!
