“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.”
Montesquieu
Montesquieu, (1689 – 1755), was one of the great political philosophers of the enlightenment…..he constructed a naturalistic account of various forms of government, and the causes that made them what they were and that advanced or constrained their development….He saw despotism, (we might use the current day example of Castro and Hugo Chavez as perfect examples), in particular, as a standing danger for any government not already despotic, (like the U.S. – though given Barack Obama’s predilection towards a foreign and unworkable system of socialism - might be in our future), and argued that it could best be prevented by a system in which different bodies exercised legislative, executive and judicial power, and in which different bodies were bound by the rule of law. This theory, ( 75 years before the American Revolution), of the separation of powers had an enormous impact on….political theory, and on the framers of the constitution of the United States of America. (sourced from Baron de Montesquieu, Charles- Louis de Secondat, Stanford, (Univ), Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Fall 2008 edition.)
Montesquieu though not a sage like Nostradamas, no doubt saw the consequences of a government that is despotic under a rule of alleged “equalitiere,” as a danger to beware of – this is precisely what happened after the French Revolution, where proponents of equality were actually corrupt self serving megalomaniacs that cost the lives of untold Frenchman, many of them not of the nobility but rather offended by the false concept perpetrate by the revolutionaries. So then we come to Barack Obama, whose obsessive observance and proposed advancement of radical socialism, which eventually, if successful, poses a fatal danger to us all.
To those on the left who are too blind to see the consequences of this false ideology the price may be even higher – these were the first people executed whenever a despotic regime assumed power after realizing that those promises made to them were false.
Radical socialist theory, as prescribed by Obama’s mentor Saul Alinsky, prescribes infiltrating a system and using institutions of free thought and expression in a given free society, in order to rise to power. The proponents of this system will gradually and eventually (according to Alinsky’s radical socialist program), during their rise to prominence, subvert and dilute the systems of a free society until it collapses. This then is the agenda of radical socialists and our current President. If you think myself and many other rational thinking Americans are paranoid – you are right. Never forget Thomas Jefferson’s cautionary phrase about the threat of despotism,“vigilance is the price of freedom,” forget it and your freedom will be in jeopardy. Just my opinion.

Vincenzo,
Let’s take this down to one of the lowest common denominators; among teens and pre-teens falatio is nothing more than a handshake. How’s that for national,social and cultural decay. And you are right in that we most likely as a country as a culture as a society will never recover. ‘Nough said?
Goo – I do admire your thought process.
Goo Goo, you have in very few words, gotten a bullseye. The cancer they spread is very ponderously looked upon as a vaccine. Societally and psychologically, our nation has suffered a great setback, one from which we may never recover. Cities are cesspools, families have been slaughtered and the baiscs of this nation from its genesis are looked upon as perverse.
Incrementalism, incrementalism, incrementalism. Government and it’s bureaucracy, academia at all levels, the un or under educated, the elite, political parties, legislatures at all levels, juiciary at all levels, unions, theater and the arts, the welfare class; all have been infiltrated and compromised.. The left has left nothing to chance. Of course Senator Joe McCarthy and his ilk were paranoids.
