We Warned Democrats Would Overreach – And They Have!
A Commentary By J. D. Longstreet
Months ago, this commentator warned that Obama, and the democrat/socialists would over reach. My prediction has come true. And HOW!
It wasn’t much of a prediction, anyway. In a way, I sort of feel sorry for the democrats. They cannot help themselves, poor things. They are all about power and when they get just at taste of it they go gluttonous and begin grasping and grabbing for all the power within their reach - and then they begin going after power that is outside their reach. That is where Obama and the democrats find themselves today. It has ALWAYS been the downfall of the democrats in power.
One of the agencies of our government out of control is, in my opinion, the Federal Communications Commission.
I toiled in the broadcasting industry for nearly 30 years of my life and believe me when I tell you that to broadcasters the FCC is GOD! Broadcasters are ALWAYS at the mercy of the FCC. And now, according to CNSNEWS.com the newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do. What they are proposing, you see, is for broadcasters to finance their government-funded competition! It is preposterous! You can read the entire story HERE. This all goes back to the democrat/socialist power grasping and power grabbing mentioned above.
We have stated before that the majority of Americans are conservative. You don’t have to like it. It remains a fact, however. And, at this point in American history, conservatives are angry with their government and they are hell bent on bringing the government back under control.
This angry confrontation Congresspersons and Senators are having with constituents back home is just the tip of the iceberg.
Another of this scribe’s predictions is coming true as well. We warned, months ago, that if Obama were elected, militia units would spring up again all over the nation. We learned from news reports, over the past few days, that that, indeed, has happened. There is an article entitled: “Officials see rise in militia groups across U.S.” You’ll find it HERE. The American people do not trust this government.
As a Southerner, I am not enamored of Abraham Lincoln. I sometimes turn a five-dollar bill face down when handing it to a cashier rather than have Lincoln’s face leering at me. But, he did say something, once, back in 1848 it was, that folks are remembering during these troubling times. Lincoln said the following: "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."
"Nor," said Lincoln, "is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of the territory as they inhabit."
If the quote above does not sound like the Lincoln you were taught about in Public School, you begin to grasp why we call them “government schools.”
Look, the American people have proven time and time again they will only be pushed so far - by anyone, including their own government. The government in Washington today would do well to reevaluate the course they are taking - and back off. They are tossing bills in the hopper with a depth of consideration one would equate with that of a prepubescent teenager! We, the American people, are no longer amused!

"We the American people are no longer amused"
Actually we never were amused, we conservatives didn't like the choices our government has been making for about the last fifty years. But being the silent ones we just kept working and hoping that our government would somehow see the light and the errors in their ways. And being gullible we kept voting for those that lied and said they were for conservative ways and measures and a smaller government.
Our big mistake.
The democrats have been planning this takeover and expansion of our Republic for ages and each time they get in power, they along with republicans in name only do more damage to our nation. Power indeed does corrupt, but it takes a certain kind of people that want to change America into something that our Founders never wanted and warned us about.
Now, because of several reasons, the American people, at least over half of them have been shocked out of their inattention and stupidity of inaction.
But being conservatives, do we have the guts and the stamina to push back hard enough, long enough to rid ourselves of these progressive neo-commie socialists and their backers (wherever and whomever they are).
If our votes can't do it, the only alternative is so terrible as not to be spoken of until it will be almost too late.
A quote if I may:
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
