Obama's future plans has dictatorship written all over it

"Dictatorship and total collapse is in the air. I can feel it."
Robert Ringer is right on when it comes to political commentary...few writers have his expertise for explaining things so that the average person can comprehend what is going on, especially when the main stream media refuses tell the truth.  I formed this opinion back in the 1970's after reading Ringers widely acclaimed book, Restoring The American Dream. ~ Norman E. Hooben
"Hitler did not have to destroy democracy; he merely took advantage of the decay of democracy and at the critical moment obtained the support of many to whom, though they detested Hitler, he yet seemed the only man strong enough to get things done."

Is an Obama Dictatorship in the Air? Predictions on the Future of America
By Robert Ringer  ( from A Voice of Sanity)

Longtime readers will recall that I began warning about Barack Obama’s dictatorial ambitions before he even won the 2008 presidential election. Now, finally, more people are beginning to take this possibility as a serious threat.
Obama’s recent contention that it would be “unprecedented” for the Supreme Court to overrule congressional legislation had dictatorship written all over it. It was, quite obviously, an ignorant slip on his part.
Rather than lashing out with absurd statements like this, the Marxmeister does much better when he follows the far-left playbook and innocently feigns indignation over anything that isn’t to his liking. Or when he isolates and vilifies his natural enemies — primarily Republicans, the “rich,” and Tea Partiers.
Targeting the Supreme Court showed a lack of self-discipline in adhering to his well-planned stealth-Marxism strategy. His angry, careless remark must have given chest pains to cheerleading, brainless Obamaviks everywhere. I hear through the grapevine that even the Wicked Witch of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, uncontrollably blurted out, “You idiot!”
Then there’s poor Jay Carney, who appeared to be on the verge of breaking into tears while playing with his pacifier and trying to find a way to spin BHO’s idiotic misstatement. How in the world did Obama expect someone who looks sixteen years old and talks like he’s fourteen to convince the press that his boss, who supposedly taught constitutional law, was just kidding about the Supreme Court’s not having the power to overturn legislation it deems to be unconstitutional?
I will say yet again what I have been saying for more than three years: If polls indicate that Obama is going to win the upcoming election, no problem. He’ll keep flashing that fake Barry Obama grin until November 7, then move swiftly to begin unleashing a dictatorial full monty — consisting of more regulations, higher taxes, and less freedom — that will overwhelm all but his staunchest Marxist allies.
Nothing will be off limits — a national police force, instant citizenship for all third-world people who want to come to America (especially those with criminal records), forced equalization of income (except for Obama’s wealthy supporters), widespread use of tax-audits to carry out vendettas against enemies of his administration, a virtual end to oil drilling, coal mining, and gas exploration, suspension of habeas corpus, a new sedition act that will make it a crime to speak out against the government, the police, or the military … and much, much more.
On the other hand, two or three months before the election, if the polls clearly show that Obama is going to go down in defeat, I believe there’s better than a 50-50 chance of a major “emergency” magically making its appearance, convincingly manufactured in such a way as to cause the average entitlement junkie to agree that we must rally around the president and “postpone” the November elections.
Left-wing Democratic Governor Beverly Perdue of North Carolina, who is likely headed for defeat in 2012, sent up a trial balloon on this very issue last September when she said:
I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them — whatever decisions they make — to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. You want people who don’t worry about the next election.
And during a speech in Las Vegas, Obama, railing on about the woeful economy he inherited, said that “we can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job. Where they won’t act, I will.” That was no trial balloon. It was a clear message about his dictatorial intentions in his second term.
Americans who find it difficult to break free of their normalcy bias should think about F. A. Hayek’s explanation, in The Road to Serfdom, of how countries travel the road leading from democracy to dictatorship:
Hitler did not have to destroy democracy; he merely took advantage of the decay of democracy and at the critical moment obtained the support of many to whom, though they detested Hitler, he yet seemed the only man strong enough to get things done.
Likewise, notwithstanding his cunning and cleverness, Chairman Obama didn’t walk into a finely tuned republic and reduce it to a redistribution-of-wealth democracy overnight. The reason he and his left-wing cronies have been able to violate the Constitution as though it didn’t exist is that they are merely taking advantage of the decay of our republic into a democracy — and the subsequent decay of our democracy — that was already present when they came to power.
The Founding Fathers realized that a democracy is but a pretense for tyranny of the majority. And so did Winston Churchill, more than a century-and-a-half later, when he described it as “the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time.”
Like all democracies before it, our democracy has destroyed itself through an excess of democracy. Majority rule has evolved into a free‑for‑all stampede of citizens appealing to politicians to give them more and more of the plunder. And there is never a shortage of vile human beings who are willing to resort to meaningless slogans like “hope and change” to win over the mindless masses.
In his book Keeping the Republic, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels brings the reader face to face with reality:
History teaches us that all national greatness is temporary. Every great civilization — from the Roman Empire to the British Empire — has eventually collapsed. Americans have grown complacent in their position of dominance, but the term “the American Century” suggests how relatively brief this period of dominance has been. An ancient Roman would not have been impressed by a less-than-one-hundred-year run on top.
Decline and fall are only occasionally foreseen by those en route to those destinations, and still less often forestalled by forceful and timely action. Denial of reality is a powerful human impulse, as is the tendency to mistake the status quo for the natural and inevitable order of things.
Dictatorship and total collapse is in the air. I can feel it. That’s why it was encouraging when Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin, a decorated Army doctor, refused to go to Afghanistan unless Barack Obama would make his birth certificate public, which resulted in his serving six months in prison and being dishonorably discharged. But it’s far more discouraging that no other high-ranking officer has had the courage to join him.
This is an important issue, because I continue to believe that if a dictatorship starts to emerge (many would argue that it already has), it may ultimately get down to a question of whether, at the moment of truth, the military will take orders from Barack Obama or, instead, side with American citizens.
Those who chuckle at all this would do well to bone up on their history.

Restoring the American Dream: the Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty
Completely updated edition of one of the classic works of conservative literature Long before the advent of conservative talk radio and Fox News, Robert Ringer was an outspoken advocate for the cause of freedom and free enterprise. In this classic work--updated for the 21st century--Ringer's basic premise is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives. The economic and political calamity that he warned about in the late seventies is now upon us, and his new edition of Restoring the American Dream is sure to resonate with the feelings of today's angry voters. In his book, Ringer explains that: * The American Dream is not about increased government benefits and government-created "rights," but, rather, about individualism, self responsibility, and freedom--including the freedom to succeed or fail on one's own * The barbarians are not at the gates; they are already inside * Ordinary citizens no longer tell their elected officials what to do. Rather, government tells them what to do--and backs it up with force * The desire of people to band together to bring about quick, short term solutions to their problems through government intervention has perpetuated a cycle that has nearly destroyed the American Dream With Washington continuing to expand government power and spending at a record pace, Restoring the American Dream is a voice of sanity in a world gone mad.
