I hear Obama chuckling and see the evil forces behind him salivating.
American politics is no longer one ideological system with two party choices. It is now, by hook and by crook, two incompatible systems.
Elected representatives aren’t elected to represent themselves. They have not been elected to be one big happy family. They mix with the enemy day in and day out in the halls of Congress.
“Can’t we all just get along” is a toxic mentality.
The elected Republicans don’t seem to understand that we no longer have one system. THEY don’t feel threatened. It is we the people, who voted them into office, who feel threatened, betrayed, powerless, abandoned.
The objective of this two incompatible systems reality is that one of the systems subsumes and swallows up the other system, thereby removing, making null and void, and utterly inconsequential, the fundamental, most valued privilege and strength of the American citizen – the right to vote.
We’ll be back to a one party system, but it will only have one choice, which means, there will be no choice.<1>
Commenter “mj” on Daniel Greenfield’s article has put his finger on the nerve. Speaking to leftists is a pointless exercise because they have precisely zero concern for the dangers of tyranny and are all about extracting the last drop of blood from productive, law-abiding citizens in aid of airy fairy concepts like “compassion” and “equity.”
Actual compassion can mean “tough love” and anyone with a grain of understanding of human nature knows that hedonism, sloth and parasitism will entirely consume most humans unless outside discipline is imposed. To leftists, however, their most fundamental principle is that responsibility is an alien concept and government doesn’t do enough to enable those defects of character and if a totalitarian government is necessary to “do enough” then that’s just a minor price all of us must pay.

At least they have nice white clothing. "Swan Lake." That's choice.
